Where does one find beauty in the face of extreme conflict?

Jayden Bawden on

Extreme conflict can come in numerous different forms. Relationships, environmental, and self conflict can all be very hard to overcome. That is not the least of them. Environmental can be life changing, scaring and life threatening. Relationships are something every human will form, some may mean more then others, yet you value each one differently. Self conflict can be presented and taken different ways, conflict with someone else can do serious harm on you emotions. Conflict between thoughts sound easy to over come, yet you still have them floating around constantly. You may be able to overcome some extreme conflicts, not all, but by finding a source to talk about the conflicts can seriously help take some pressure off you. Looking for a form of exercise or a new hobby to take your mind of of it can result in time away from the problems. Seeking a conclusion may help you as every story must come to an end and knowing the end can help you close the book. Take the time, you may find something you believe in strongly, a god like figure, and asking for forgiveness, patients, help, the answer and so many more can help you bust that wall down. Some people may turn to magazines or books for relationship advice. You see the forest fires that were on TV, the communities that came together to help one another find some kind of happiness. You need to seek what you believe may help. What will you find that helps you over come conflict? How does it help you? Why?

A source that can help you overcome extreme conflict is the book “The One and Only Ivan”, I refer to this book a lot as it tells so much. To overcome his conflict Ivan found friendship, a hobby and a love connection.

Week 3 Math 10

Negative Exponents.

This week in Class we were learning the basics about negative exponents. Going into it I thought it would be extremely tough, turns out math with negative exponents is easy then positive ones!

I am going to show you step by step how to solve an equation with negative exponents:

8x^{^-3}

So, really 8x^{^-3} is,

Which then to get the exponent positive you move it to look like. And because the base is x, x moves with it.

And that’s your final answer! Easy right?

 

 

We will do another one, 12a^{^-5} . It really looks like,

But we flip the negative to make it positive,

You can not simplify, so there is your final answer.

Weekly Blog Post 1

This week in Math 10 I learned how to find factors, find GCF and LCM, Square and Cubed roots, and so much more. I want to show my learning of what makes up a radical expression and how to solve it. I have done the equation 5 \sqrt[2]{20} in my video and named what each number is called.

In the book The one and only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, I learned that emotions play a huge part in humans lives. The book is about a gorilla, however, the characteristics and emotions I felt I could easily put myself into the character of Ivan and feel what he was feeling. Ivan was a gorilla who was alone in a cage and learned to paint and have fun within his cage. He was abused by the zookeeper and made friends with other animals but he taught me you will go through hard times and abuse, verbally, mentally, or physically but, you can over come them in time. Ivan finishes by finding something that motivated him to overcome the past wounds and memories and try to help the someone who motivated him. With this story I learned there will be hard times and memories that may last forever, but, you will break that shell and experience a whole different world and meaning of life.
