 Catch up day Wohoo


SO... Yay, we are back to blogging, I missed this so much. Anyways, let's talk.

"Know my name" is a book that I am currently reading. The reason I chose this book is because of my curiosity about the American court system and how society really is. 

When I was reading this book I experienced sadness, anger, and concern for how society so hypocritically reacts and blames blindly without actually knowing the reason. In the book, the main character gets sexually assaulted by a college student. Chanel miller was unconscious when that happened, when the police report was posted on social media, many of us would believe that after this awful event people would support Chanel. But, not everything is rainbows and sunshine, in fact, it was quite the opposite, the people were defending the assaulter, yeah, you heard me right they WERE TAKING HIS SIDE like I don't understand sometimes, all the evidence was pointing out that this dude who doesn't even deserve to be named in this blog, who casually says that "he doesn't remember " Chanel but for some reason, he "remembers that she enjoyed whatever he did to her" yet no one in the comments didn't even notice and when on saying how it's her fault for getting assaulted,  why was she even there if she is grad student,  and the most furious thing is that they are saying that She is the one who is ruining his life since he has a good reputation in his college and high school so there is no way he can assault someone.

People have to stop looking at only one side of the story, why should we shame someone for something that they can't control, why do people have to protect someone just because they have a good reputation, and why can't people educate themselves before judging others.  This book makes me feel so bad for the author that went through so much and people have chosen to believe a human who so casually gets away because the only thing he is good at is having a reputation and not being a good human.

I feel like if i read more of this book I will cry and yell at this because of how angry and sad it makes me, WHY are PEOPLE SO DUMB, I just feel like it's so unfair living in America knowing that as soon as something happens how quickly people can change sides that are against you just because the other person has a good reputation.

I remembered that one tick toker was arrested for murdering a woman with a three-month-old baby when he was driving 89 miles per hour in the town, and everyone started to defend him just because he is good-looking and "felt bad", thats how sickening our society is. SO please before thinking oh he is not bad etc because he or she is good-looking or has a good reputation doesnt mean that it declines their action as a person.

Sometimes I lose hope in society.

 Face it we all didn't meet the reading goal.  Or maybe it's just me.  Throughout the week we have talked about meeting our goal to read at least 2 hours a week. But let's just face it, most of us are either near the end or not only halfway done with the book.  Personally, I am going to rat myself out on this one but I am halfway finished with my book, don't get me wrong I absolutely love the book and I love the author who wrote the book, but I just haven't had time to sit down and enjoy the book as much as I want to. I don't like rushing through the book so when I found out about the deadline I was kinda iffy about being able to finish the book. I could either finish the book by spending all night reading or b read another new book parallelly to what I am reading now, but that would require me to go to the library and check the book again. Overall reading a book 2 hours a day seemed like an easy task, but that was not the case. I found myself to be exhausted to

Why do festival rides make me think of books.

 Why festival rides do make me think of books? This thought came to me when I was hanging upside down on the famous fireball ride at Troy Daze.  When I went to Troy Daze (on Saturday aka yesterday) I was very nervous and scared because I hadn't yet written my blog and had no idea what to write. So as I was standing in line for this ride called Fireball, it was not exactly a rollercoaster but it was close to it. The ride process is going in a big circle that speeds up and goes in a loop and backward and then forward and it keeps repeating in that same pattern. So why exactly did this ride make me think of books and English. Well, the process to be exact. You see when you read you go through five stages of grief and happiness just like with rides.  Stage one: You choose a ride. Like you choose a book. You choose by how the ride looks, the appeals of it like the lights and what people are saying about it, what are the emotions of people who went. Just like with the book you by its rev

There is two point of views in my brain

 Help me!!! I have two voices in my head. There are two points of view in my brain. Many of us have voices in our brains. I hope so because I am not trying to win a ticket to the mental institution.   For me, at least, I have commentary in my brain: one narrates everything from the first point of view, and the second describes everything from the second point of view. Let me explain.   Let us say there is a hypothetical situation. I am in Paris, walking somewhere, and in my head, I say, "I need to get to this cafe." I am narrating the first point because I need to do it. It's like an unimportant goal, just like a reminder. But then, for example, I would have friends in that cafe. Now, my narration would be, "YOU need to get to the cafe on time, or else they will see YOU as irresponsible and incapable of managing YOUr time." Now, the narration of that second point is more stressful and aggressive.  Sometimes, my second point of view is stronger than my first poin
