Week 15 – Adding And Subtracting with “Ugly” Denominators

This week we learned all about adding and subtracting rational expressions, but that’s not all. We also learned how to multiply and divide them. This was a little bit difficult but I got the hang of it after awhile. I did my best to lay out what I thought would make sense. Hopefully this helps you. But here’s the sheet of paper I did my work on. If it’s too small for you to read feel free to right click the picture and hit open in new window or new tab. and if that doesn’t work just double click it and it should open up. Here we go:

Character Sketch “Two Fishermen”

This character sketch is on the character Michael Foster, this is more or less, my opinion on what he looks like (^As seen above)and who he is as a character, well, more just what I found in the story, not my actual opinion. From what I’ve seen throughout the short story, Michael Foster seems to be a docile, greedy, and cowardly man. Michael is a reporter for the town paper, who wants to eventually leave the small town for a much bigger city. One day Michael comes across the one story he thinks would be able to give him the push he needs to leave this small town. The town has a man how in self defence murdered a man, although it was in self defence, he is sentenced to death, and an executioner is brought to town. Michael sees this as an opportunity and attempts to talk and get to know the executioner, using him to further his own career. He finds out that this man actually is a human being and has a family and has feelings, he ended up liking the guy and thinking he was pretty great. Then came the day of the hanging, after the hanging the hangman was supposed to leave in a car, but for some reason the car left without him, leaving him to face a mob of people all pelting rocks and other stuff at him, this was the moment where Michael could’ve helped this poor man, but instead, he cowered in the crowd and didn’t do a thing. This was a cowardly act, and earlier he used him to further his own career, the greedy aspect. I believe Daniel Radcliff would do a pretty good job at playing this character.
