So today I came to my second period, and when entering the room, it was no one but Dr. Preston. Then I asked him why did he decided to stop teaching at UCLA and move to Santa Maria.

What is the theme of  "The Pedestrian"?  The theme of "The Pedestrian" is form by the exposition, tone, and diction/syntax. One way to describe the theme is mysterious or intense. How does Bradbury get this message across?  How do you  k now?

Prompt: Does The Great Gatsby symbolized a time period in the U.S, or can it be related to different times. If so, how does the characters show similarities from the different time periods.       Author F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of American best writers of the 20th century. He accomplished success by his unique way of writing. During the 20th century was also the Jazz Age which was  influential for Fitzgerald writing.

So today was Higher Ed. Week, there was approximately 38 universities representatives, and they spoke to all juniors (SMHS). This event took place on2nd and 3rd period. The importance of this event was to explore the different colleges in the state and out of state and what they offered. For example, I didn't knew anything about University of Idaho, now I know they have a great engineer program as well as California State University Chico. I learned about UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, University of the Pacific, and Chico State. I was able to filled out  a paper to get more information about the colleges. I believe this event was meaningful, because there was some colleges I knew, however there were some , I did not have any knowledge about.
