The narrator goes back to Stella and I realized the pattern of the point of the book of view. the two characters express their feelings and thoughts in each chapter, so readers understand what both of them are thinking. However, the characters seem to not show those emotions, which makes it feel as if we are watching over the whole situation. Throughout the fourth chapter, we can see the relationship between will and his mother. Will is probably giving up on his medical trial and only has the idea to stop everything when he turns 18 in two weeks. He thinks that staying in the hospital and getting medications doesn't feel like "living", instead he wants to go outside and live what's left of his time. Will and Stella talk for the second time when Stella finds Will sitting on the top of the roof from her hospital window. She realizes that she doesn't want him o die, even though she hates the way he acts and finds it annoying. This is where Stella gets to know how ...

I was surprised to see that Chapter 2 was told by the perspective from a boy called "Will Newman". which is the by that Stella comes of mind int the last part of Chapter 1. Will starts off by following Stella from his hospital room after seeing her beauty. Will seems to have a lot of interest in her and follows her to the CF where the newborn babies are. They start having a conversation. However, Stella has an attitude that leads to both of them not having a great first impression of each other. I discovered that Will also has CN but also diagnosed with B. cepacia. This depletes his lung function even faster. Cystic fibrosis patients, cross-infection from certain bacteria strains is a huge risk. One-touch between two CFers and it can kill both of them. Therefore, will and Stella has to always stay 6 feet apart. At the end of chapter 2 will finds ut about Stellas Youtube videos and starts to binge-watch them and realize the difference in the way she acts.

I ordered the book called "five feet apart"  written by Rachael Lippincott about a month ago, which was supposed to arrive soon.  since the book was taking too long to arrive I decided to buy the book on iBooks on my phone. The story starts out with the character "Stella Gra nt" decorating her room with drawings made by her older sister, Abby. This book is written in the first person and Stella talks about how every single drawing has a message that her sister put in towards the sickness she has. Cystic fibrosis (CS). CS    is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. At the beginning of the story, Stella's friends, Camila and Mya visited her before going on a school trip to Cabo that Stella would be missing due to the deterioration of her lungs. The first chapter talks about Stella's str...

     This semester we had a lot of things to improve since we were not able to do our best on our first and second presentations. On my very first presentation, I remember having no idea what kind of presentations grab the audience's attention, and what the do’s and donts were. We spent the first semester researching about the problems in our school that is causing our quality of education to get lower.  I didn't realize how finding problems could be difficult since I thought it would be one of the easiest processes. however, we had to see the school campus from different perspectives in order to find the problems that we usually don't have to deal with. Our first presentation was terrible due to the lack of preparation. Mr.Paterson told me that I had to improve on making eye contact instead of facing the screen. Also, I realized after watching the video that I tend to say "um" and "like" too often.       In the second semester, we worked on writing ...

In today's lesson, we continued using Zotero for our five-paragraph essay.  I had a few problems at the beginning of the lesson which was that whenever I opened chrome to search for articles and save the references, the Zotero mark wouldn't appear on my screen. Fortunately, I was able to go back to the websites that I had used for my five-paragraph essay and save it onto Zotero. I personally think it is convenient and makes writing essays much easier. Up until this point, whenever I would have my sources for my work, I had to copy and paste the link every single time to make sure that i wouldn't forget it. However, with Zotero I realized that all sources would be saved and there would be nothing to worry about when we accidentally delete anything、

In Today's lesson, Mr.Paterson introduced us to Zotero. It allows us to include the references in our writings much easier and faster. I started downloading it on my laptop to try and use it. However, it looked much more complicated and it took me a while to understand the things that it could do. By downloading this, I can save the references and sources that I use for my writings and projects. I personally thought that keeping references and all the facts about articles weren't as important. However, without any actual statements, I realized that it would not be enough for people to believe and trust our works. 1/20 downloading Zotero it helps us use the reference that we use in our writings we can add certain information for us to use as the source for ur references. able to keep the different sources and take/add notes about i if we paraphrased a sentence and wrote in our own words we wouldn't need the quotation marks and just put the references. Zotero, add a...

5 paragraph essay use the sentences from the group introduction and conclusion include the 3 paragraphs from the brochure for the body paragraphs the 3 body paragraphs each need 3 points, reasons, topics. each body paragraph needs at least one reference. = at least 3 references per person. On this day, we worked mainly on preparing for our 5 paragraph essays and improving on the 3rd presentation that we will be having. We discussed what improvements we need, in order to grab the audience's interest.  I need to improve on making my body paragraphs longer since there are not enough sentences. Moreover, finding more references for each point is also something I need to work on. Mr.Paterson mentioned how as we get older there should be more references for each point.  I decided to start researching for new information to put in my body paragraphs during class.
