PLN #4 The Dangerous Game

              In the story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell,talks about what it is like to feel like prey in the point of view of Rainsford. Three example of this are, when he doesn't care about what the jaguars feels, when he say they have no Understanding, and then when he say that the world is made up of two classes. First example of this is, "Who care how a jaguar feels?" I believe that this quote talks about how it feels to be prey because he thinks that it has no feelings when it really does. Next, "Bah! They've no understanding." I feel that this means that they don't care that they are being hunter, but that do cause they might have a family or something that they are leaving behind that needs them. Last, " The world is made up of two classes-- the hunters and the huntees." I believe that it means that if your not the one killing the prey then you become the prey.

Friday Nights Lights People doing bad things PLN #2

In class over the past few weeks we have been talking about ''what makes people do bad thing?'' In Friday Nights Lights it is talking about oh in the old time they would have these big booms where somebody would find some natural resource and then a lot of people would start coming to this small town. When the day was over they would all go into town and have a few drinks. People would start fighting each other over who made more money in the day. One thing lead to another and a lot of people died in the town. A newspaper Odessa (the small town) was ranked seventh out of 286 in most stressful towns because of alcoholism, crime, suicide, and divorce. I think in this book people are doing bad things because they want more money be for all of the natural resource where gone and they would have to got somewhere else to get money.

Friday Night Lights PLN # 1

In Friday Night Lights, by H. G. Bissinger, I can just picture living in a small town and the only thing people think about is football. It made me think of the time I was thinking about going to live with my aunt and uncle in Texas and playing football in a small town.
