It's Our Time Now

      
This is my favorite video at the moment and I think it tells the story perfectly of what it takes to be a female athlete and how far we have come as a community. It's taken hard work, dedication, perseverance, grit, confidence and strength from every single women in the sport of lacrosse to make it known as it is today. This video tells a story of the little girls all around the world who have dreams and aspirations to become like their idols in the future.

Discussion Board Four: Blog Journal for Station Eleven

  In what ways do you think the motto "Survival is Insufficient" fits for the Traveling Troupe? They perform A Midsummer's Night Dream, a play that it turns out Shakespeare wrote during the great plague in Europe. Are there other parallels you see between the play and the story?  I think the quote fits because not only surviving is going to help the group keep pushing through these hard times but enjoying their time and having fun with each other for example the performances and the acting. I think it is a big reason why they have made it so far and long. I’m not entirely familiar with the play A Midsummer’s Night dream but from the book I can tell there is much change in emotions and perspectives throughout the story and that connects with station eleven because people have gone through such a life changing moment and have had to learn how to change their beliefs and ways of living.  In section two, the novel leaps ahead twenty years following the Georgian Flu. How has l...

Blog Deep Dive—Why Should Anyone Care?

  Pollan’s essay is as much about the problem of problem-solving as it is a proposal for dealing with climate change. What do we do with the feeling that as individuals there is little we can do to influence really big issues such as homelessness, hunger, war, or climate change? Who wants to be just a drop in the bucket? Explore this dilemma by having a conversation in writing with an imaginary companion on a big issue you care about. First explain in writing what problem you think needs to be solved and why. (You might want to write about your potential research topic, if you want.) And then respond to your companion’s first question: You don’t think you could ever really do anything about it, do you? Carry on the conversation with your skeptical companion as long as you can. For most people when they hear about the issues going on in the world the most they do is fund charities, share awareness or most of the time nothing. Most people just feel bad about what’s happening but stil...

Discussion Board Four: Blog Deep Dive into Station Eleven

  “You must be immune,” Jeevan said. “Yes.” Ben stared fixedly into the flames. “I’m the luckiest man alive, aren't I”(192)? I found this quote very sad because I couldn’t even imagine what this man went through. He had to watch everyday as his loved ones died and all he could do was sit there and watch, waiting for himself to eventually to die but then he never did. I wonder when he finally realized he was immune and wasn’t going to die? It made me think about what I would do in that situation. If I watched my loved ones die one by one, I don’t think I would be able to live another day knowing they wouldn’t be there for me or anyone for that fact. I would literally be alone and I’m sure Ben thought about this too. But I find Ben to be the strongest person in the book because he had the strength to fight through and keep walking like Jeevan did. “Keep walking. Keep walking. Keep walking”(Mandel 194) I use this quote in one of the next questions but I really found this quote super i...
