I enjoyed The Help because it showed me that no matter the circumstance and what you are going through there is always a way out and sometimes you will have to persevere but the outcome can be better than ever expected.

Creative Writing
I enjoyed the creative writing because I was able to create and showcase my strengths through my writing the way I wanted to. It allowed more freedom and a way of learning we don’t normally have the chance to do in class.

Two things I liked about my spoken word was the topic and how it was different then everyone’s in the class but still very relevant, and I also liked descriptive words I use. Next time, I would incorporate more humour and with more time memorize it fully.

I think I used the rule of three and incorporated dialogue well. I could improve on my word choice and making the purpose stand out clearly.
Dystopia Mini Project
This picture represents the illusion of a perfect futuristic world. It looks proper and organized on the outside (the buildings), but on the inside (the gears) there is too much control which leads to a totalitarian government. Once you get deeper you then can see all the toxic technology behind it all. The people holding hands around the “world” represent the control the government has over them, starting with the leader on the far right.

Workplace Safety
To keep me safe at work I will follow all procedures, use common sense, and will wear necessary protection. To keep others safe at work I will say something if they aren’t following procedure, and I will clean up after myself to ensure there are no hazards.
Matt Boycott’s story resonates with me the most. Matt had a job at a restaurant at 19 and sadly had an oil accident. The reason why this resonates with me most is that right now I currently am working a job at Freshii which is a fast food place. Although we don’t deal with deep fryers, we do deal with a steamer and boiling water, hot broths and beans. This made me realize that accidents do happen and following procedure is extremely important. Procedure steps can be lost when no manager is around and when working a night shift like many of us high school students do. This made me more aware and showed me that if something doesn’t seem right or safe to you it is okay to say no. Proper procedures are there for a reason.
