Scribe for January 20, 2009, Inauguration Day!!!
Today we just worked on our imagery worksheet and went over Religio Medici. I don’t think we went off-topic that much..!?!?!?
Imagery- visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory
-Felix means happy
-Frankenstein is the man who made the monster from different people
-Monster was nice and gentle but everyone hates him, so he gets mad at his creator and kills him
-Diction- peeped: peeping, looking, spying, furtive, secretive, nadir
-Every group read their best example about images and feelings of renewal.
-Olivia, Melanie, and Tricia say hi
-Jordan was scary
-Olivia performed the extra credit!! bravo!
-Mr. Eldridge talked about talking in front of audiences. good posture, eye contact even if you can’t see the audience, hand gestures, yayayayayaya
Religio Medici- Sir Thomas Browne
(to the right)-Message: God controls nature, art, and everything, and He’s the one who made them powerful.
-Heathens had a better sense of what God wants than those who read the Bible
-The more we investigate, the less we need a creator. Back then, people used God to explain everything.
-God might break laws for arrogant people just to show he’s right and YOU’RE WRONG!
-Metaphor- Humans build houses using instruments, like hammers. Natural processes are God’s tools in nature.
-Sorry… I don’t have that much written… wah
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Period 5
Hey Period Five!
I hope everyone enjoyed their three day weekend. Today was an interesting and historic day, because as you all know, President Barack Obama was inaugurated. YAY!
Today class started off by people crowding around Mr. Eldridge’s desk. It seems to be that everyone is fretting about their outside book review assignment. After that imagery worksheets were passed out. Today’s imagery worksheet was an excerpt from Frankenstein by Marry Shelly. It turns out that that Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein when she and her husband got into a competition of who could write a better ghost story.
We then got off topic when someone asked about when the book review was due. Mr. Eldridge then compared playing a sport to doing work in class. Then he brought the example of basketball and how you do not score points in basketball for plainly having fun you score points if you are able to shoot the ball into the basket and of course make it. He also said that like a coach he had in eighth grade told him that you should win because winning is always fun. In other words like Nikes slogan goes “Just do it.”
After that we then continued to go over the imagery worksheet. Some key points were imagery-see, auditory-hear, tactile-touch, olfactory-smell and gustatory-taste. We also learned that Felix means happiness. This also relates to the Spanish word feliz which means happy. At this point Zack Glasser said that he thought that Felix was a cat.
After we finished our imagery worksheets we read Religio Medici, Sir Thomas Browne.
Key Points
1. Copernicus was wrong.
2. God can create everything.
3. Logic is a set of rules
4. Nature is God’s tool.
5. Everything God does is for a reason.

I think the plural form of Nike should be spelled as Nikees,
because if it were Nikes, it would be just one syllable,
which totally just ruins the depth that comes with the word.

I like Browne. His ideas make sense to me.
Anyone know any philosophers with the same kind of thought?
