  2. DOL #22 We could have stayed longer, but Jake was anxious to leave; I guess he wanted to watch the six o’clock news program at his cousin’s house. Whether I accept the award for Marcia depends on my having the time to go to the County Awards Banquet.

  6. DOL #24 Melissa and Jordan can’t attend the play because neither is able to drive; therefore, they stayed home and watched a video. The defective car skid and hit a tree in our garden, but the driver was not injured.

  10. DOL #26 Mr. J.T. Pereira, my violin teacher, has a poster with this quotation from John Erskine: “Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.” The architecture in Dublin, Ireland, is an interesting blend of old and new; skyscrapers exist harmoniously with well-preserved old buildings.

  13. DOL #27 Last May, Jack, the younger of my two brothers, found a sparrow with a broken wing under the porch and nursed it back to health. In the television lounge of Glenview Nursing Home, many residents sat and watched Jeopardy!

  14. Honors Dystopian Literature: E Block 2/26/14 • DOL #28 • Journal: Which is more important: knowledge or happiness? • Read the story of the garden of Eden from the book of Genesis • Discuss: What’s the moral of the story? Do you agree with it? • Begin mind maps in groups: “What does it mean to be human?” • Homework: • Papers due Thursday • (Tomorrow in class with sub: finish mind maps.)

  15. Some questions to consider as you create your mind map: • What makes a human different from an animal? • What makes a human different from a robot or computer? • Could a human ever be created differently from how they’re created now and still be considered human? • What roles do consciousness, identity, learning, relationships, language, and memory play in being human? • Is there ever a point where someone could “lose” his or her humanity? • Where do humans exist in the grand scheme of things (i.e., in relation to other things in the world)?
