Mr. Doyle

Paradox- A paradox is like an opinion or a statement that someone makes towards situation

Catch 22 is like a big huge problem that a person has with another individual.



The first story talked about prestigous men such as Mr. Whitman and Mr. William Morris went to their graves expecting Utopias it they did not make it into heaven. Also it went to talk about if a boy fires a gun he will be rebuked and if a boy fires a gun for the first time then he may or may not get recoiled but he may go blazing into life at these similar objects in the landscape; but he will be less surprised by the recoil.

However it also talked about the concerns of education. It talked about the poor should be recognized as citzens who can rule the state. It also says that the self-education think for to much of education and that half-educated always think everything of education.



The second story talks about talked about how they bridle buck under failure, and that they go mad with disatisfaction in the face of success. It also talked about life their how a man is unemployed through his own stupidity and that of others , a man beaten by a brutal policeman, a woman forced into prostitution by her own laziness. It also said that we trample friends, relatives, and strangers who get in the way of our achieving it, and once we get it we shower it on psychoanalysts to try to find out why we are unhappy.

A little about me

Hello fellow blogsters I am going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am in the marching band at my high school, jazz band, symphonic band and other numerous organizations. My hobbies are music, basketball, and hanging out with friends. My goals after I graduate is to go to college and major in Psycology with a minor in Music Education. I want to share a poem with you that motivates me everyday to strive to do better in whatever I do it is called "Our Deepest Fear".

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightend about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others".
