These past few weeks we have been talking about what we want to do with our lives and how this class can help jumpstart it. When I realized is that this class can help me communicate with people in the field i want to be in(Medical Field). It gives me the tools to collaborate with my peers to get advice and just different insights in a way I probably wouldnt have looked at. For me to start my goals in the Medical Field i really need to start researching and figuring out if this is exactly the right line of work for me. In order for me to feel confident I really need to convince myself that im a hundred percent dedicated to going to school for quite sometime and it will pay off in the long run and im ready to pretty much live in a different environment that im not really used to. But even though it might be a whole new world for me trying to become a CRNA, Im ready to prove to anyone that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I want my dreams to become a reality and to accomplish that Im going to have to get more involved in the field i want to be in just to get a little gist of everything. In order for me to get a sense of reality in this is I think that maybe communicating with a CRNA would really help me to get more of an understanding and will help me make sure that this is the correct path to take.

Literature Analysis #1

1. Hazel grace is just a normal teenager who falls in love with a hottie named Augustus Waters, well i actually lied about the normal teenager, Hazel is anything but a normal she a teenager living with cancer and so is the boy who she falls in love with, Augustus. Throughout the book it describes their odd love life because it isnt like the usual teenage love its much more mature than that. Hazel constantly struggles with her health throughout the book, having to go the hospital and always having chest pains and breathing problems because of the kemo. And by the end of the book the unexpected happens.

2.For me the biggest theme from this book would be that no matter what life throws at you you have to make the best out of the situation that you possibly can. In the book the author gives us a character named Isaac who has to get eye surgery because of the cancer he has which is going to make him permanently blind. But despite all that the girl that he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with dumps him. With all this emotional damaged Isaac does become a little depressed but it didnt stop him from living his life.

3."I went to support group for the same reason that I'd allowed nurses with a mere eighteen months of graduate education to poison we with exotically named chemicals: I wanted to make my parents happy."
Hazel tends to be straight forward a lot her condition actually made her that way because she knows that she is hitting the early stages of death and she doesnt want to be treated like some little kid who cant do anything for themselves.
"I didnt tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! Youre a women. Now die."
This quote always makes me laugh because just the way Hazel is just so frank makes me feel i should see things in  a new perspective.

4.Some literary element John Green uses in Fault in our Stars is irony. Hazel doesnt understand why Augustus feels its so important to leave a mark. But not trying to, Hazel leaves ends up doing it herself.Another literary element would be symbolism, Augustus Waters, water is an essential we need in life, without water life wouldnt be possible. Augustus shows Hazel how to live life even with the disease she has.

Hafta/Wanna

My perspective in life during and life after high school would have to be like comparing fire and ice, they are complete opposites! My high school life hasnt really taught me anything about reality! I have no idea how to pay bills even do my own taxes basically how to live on my own and it is partially my fault but i thought high school was a big step into reality when i was in 8th grade but once i got here nothing really changed much except it was a bigger school and there is so much more people. Once we all graduate and start our own lives i know for a fact we wont change in a heart beat its going to take time growing into and adult! And we will all take our old habits into our daily activities its only human nature to do so. One big thing we have to do in adulthood is balancing the things we want to do and the things we have to do and how to balance that exactly i wouldnt quite sure know the answer to that because ive really experienced it before but when i do i will be more delighted to tell you guys! My expectations on the world around me would have to be that its going to be tough in the beginning but we all learn and prosper and become mature adults with years of experience!

Visual Story telling

In the movie Murderball they use a lot of visual story telling for example when that one guy(blanking on his name at this moment) got back from rehab because of his condition of being paralyzed from the waist down, right when he got into the car they zoomed into the handicap sign they had hanging in the car emphasizing his condition. Another example would have to be when one of the guys on the rugby team described his dream on how that sometimes he dreams about flying and when he was flying he grew legs and arms and how he loved the feeling because it actually felt real! While he was describing his dream they showed a short little visual sketch just to get a feeling on how he felt in his dream
