Reflection

as the year isn't winding down coming to an end I have realized how fast this year has Gone by and I am going to be a senior and I am genuinely scared I'm not prepared for what life is going to give me I am on the edge of child hood still wanting to ask my parents for help and to comfort me when things don't go my way but now we are here and I wish I could go back do everything over again.

🌙😴

Humans have literally found a way to make spending money fun

Digital divide

I stand on the side of which I think our phones do record I've been where I have talked to my friends about something and got an add for it a day later. My use of my technology is for my personal use but now I use it for the blog and for my homework. Technology holds me back sometimes because when I want to do homework I sometimes get preoccupied doing other things. My darts isn't that private I just make sure I don't post anything I will regret later. I think people see me as just a regular person but I don't want that but I also don't want anyone to know who I really am I put up a front at school and online only my real friends know me.

Ignite talk

My big question is how does our voice go to different pitches?
Over break I researched by going to different websites and read about how our voice can change.
I learned that people's voices change when they talk to people that they love and that  vibrations in our lungs can change the way way we talk
One connection I see is that in great gatsby when nick is watching the women singing when she crys her voice gets more high pitched.
What I'm gonna do next is try to email my expert that I chose about what he study's.

info I gathered 3

The 3 parts that help to make voice
1. Lyranx- the voice box, the vocal folds are apart of the lyranx and vibrate to make the sound of voice
2. Pharynx- the throat, goes up from the lyranx and divides into the laryngopharynx, oropharynx, and the nasopharynx
3. Trachea- the windpipe , the tube that connects your lungs to your throat, the larynx sits on top of your trachea

Info I gathered 2

The process of converting the air pressure from lungs into audible vibrations is called phonotion. The vocal folds give singers a wide range of control over the pitch of sound and produce the muscles of the larynx change the elasticity and tension of the vocal folds determine the pitch of sounds.

Info that I gathered

I found out that the vocal cords are a big factor to how we speak and make sounds and pitches  some facts that I learned about the vocal cords are composed of a gel like matter and as the vocal cords mature fibers on the vocal cords develop within the gel and they soon form a multilayered laminating string. Most people call vocal cords , vocal cords but most researchers call them vocal folds.

Post 3

Ingo titze is someone that knows more than me on my topic of choice he is the director of the national center for voice and speech at the university of Utah. Ingo and his colleagues study how the lyrinx can determine how your voice will change and that the vocal cords can make many different sounds that vary from low to high.
"It's absolutely amazing how nature has created a compound, laminated string to cover a pitch range that is difficult, by any stretch of the imagination, to cover with one string," Titze says.

My idea

My topic that I will be researching is : how can our voices reach different pitches?

Socratic seminar

- the bombing in Syria reminds of the end where the city was being bombed
- the firefighters remind or salamanders because they stay close to one thing
- who dropped the bombs?
- montage was so Normal and he just couldn't stand it anymore
- when he went in the river he came out a new person
- when montage read the books he feel in love with the books
- montag protected the books
- the people dies for the books
-what would our society be like if we didn't have phones
- we would talk more
-

MONTAG KILLS

I think montag turned on Beatty because he was tired of having to worry about getting caught and just wanted it to be over.

Fahrenheit 451 questions 1

1. Bradbury starts the novel like this because he is foreshadowing montage job and how it is a pleasure to burn books because they are outlawed.
2. Books are compared to birds because show freedom and books let your imaginations go wild.
3. Montag lives in a life where he acts like he is normal and when  Clarisse know she isn't normal and doesn't hide it either.
4. The technology

Soooo...

Ray Bradbury predicted the future.

GATSBY notes

In chapter 4 everyone in the chapter is talking about the mystery of  GATSBY like when they said " they heard that he killed a man-" but no body actually knows who GATSBY is actually.

Great GATSBY

Displacement out of place
Anachronism out of time
GATSBY is a throwback to a different era
Shorn
Innuendo
Prodigality laughter happens on cue
"Little party" sarcasm irony
Agonizingly
Contemptuous
Homogeneity
Staid nobility
Melancholy
Impetuously
Skepticism
Realism
I would feel uncomfortable because it sounds like there are a lot of people there and it would be crowded and cramped.

My remix

I have had a dream

Remixes were mostly thought of as songs
Don't need skills to remix
Remix means you take something and make it new without changing to much
Remix is the arrangement and transformation of a thing
Creativity was thought of as Devine in history
Lightbulb is a symbol for having an insight
Domain knowledge  copying mimicking what others do
Transformation taking stuff and changing and making veriations

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I consider music as literature because some songs are telling story's about how they're lives were or where they came from. The oldest form of literature is oral literature so pretty much when someone is singing.
