Analysis: 

Estimated there isn't a lot of calories that go on in this type of meal. it is a even amount that is good for the human but is also healthy in some ways because the ingredients are made naturally not so much with chemical machines. The body will deal with it in a well way. Becoming full quickly but still enjoying the delicious taste that it consists of. Some possible things that might occur is like blood pressure or even diabetes. 

The ingredients come from a urban country in which the spanish heritage takes place at the most. Such as puerto rico, mexico & Dominican republic. The farthest one that traveled was probably the one that came from the islands because of the fact they go over seas and with ships. It is originally grown from like crops and stuff and even some of the ingredients consist of it being made at home, not so much in the stores. 

This meal doesn't cost fairly much to make once the materials are found and priced. It is a little cheaper but not as cheap as fast food. Healthier of course than fast food. Some businesses that are involved is GOYA in which they are able to provide spices and tastes from the islands and urban areas in order to give the costumers the power to make a food with a delicious spice or flavor.

Reflection:

I learned about certain things that i knew a little bit about but i was able to extend my knowledge on it. I learned a lot bout the body functions and how the body develops during the beginning stages compared to the adulthood. In the beginning stages the child is able to have all of these neurons that help it engage in different things to learn and keep in mind. It is said to be that you tend to learn more when you are in the younger stages of life compared to when you get older.

Aside from the body and the evolution of the human race we learned a lot from the foods and how it is made and what it consists of. In the United States we tend to buy a lot of corn that is why most of our ingredients in our food and materials consist of. I also learned that just because you have a higher paying job does not mean you are the one with the better health. I always thought that if you had a high paying job and money to eat the healthy things you were healthier than the ones with low income. I was proven wrong because that is not entirely true.

In our food system i see me as a human which means that i am able to eat things but not all things. Corn will be a prime example of it because we are unable to digest it. If we was able to change the fact that we can eat corn then it would mean that we might be able to get the vitamins and minerals that we need in order to be healthier than what we are now. If i was able to make changes then i probably will. I think it would be cool to see if we were able to have the certain aspects and things that we don’t normally have.

What is your job and what do you do at your job?

I am a certified medical assistant and i work with children at the children hospital of philadelphia

How does your job benefit the welfare of children?

By keeping them healthy, making sure they get the correct vaccines they need for their age

Do the children you work with come from broken homes?

The majority of them do.

Are majority of the children’s household considered low income?

Yes the majority of them do, i would say 85% of them are low income and receive government insurance

Have you ever worked with upper class or middle families?

Yes

What are some struggles with your job?

Some of them do not have insurance and have to pay out of pocket, we have family planning that teens come in without any insurance getting tested for STD and pregnancies, and they are seen under government grant which pays for their testing.

What struggles do you help the families with?

We try to get them government insurance if they do not have insurance, we refer families to government offices so they can get some type of insurance, and we also have a program that is called charity care which is for single mothers that are low income and that have babies that need vaccines and their age starts from new born to 12 months. 

Does your job have plans to fit “anybody’s” budget ?

Yes, we have a payment plan that if the costumer does not have all the money to pay at one time we will charge them every month or so at least $20 to assure that they pay off the plan or insurance needed.

For each class what kind of plans do they have?

Low income people that have government insurance have more benefits than those with private insurance or paying in cash because the government is paying for everything that they need to get checked on.

These questions were helpful because it was factual and actually a person view on things, like a person that sees different situations and stuff go on everyday making a difference to the poor and the rich. Also shows how it effects the poor and the rich, even because the person in this interview was and has been front row of it all.

AJ Houweling, Tanja. "Huge poor–rich inequalities in maternity care: an international comparative study of maternity and child care in developing countries." (October 2007): n. page. Print. <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/10/06-038588/en/>.

This website and information on here helps tell how the money can be a problem for the women that are pregnant and can’t afford to give birth to their child, so it has a big impact on there lives and money, not giving them the same opportunities as the ones with money that can actually pay and have a child born without worrying bout the price.

"HUMAN ARCHITECTURE: JOURNAL OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE." (Fall of 2002): n. page. Print. <http://www.okcir.com/Articles I 2/HAfall02p37-46.pdf>.

Poverty can be a big thing when it comes to being passed down generation to generation, it is shown that when it is being passed down every generation the food consumption and healthcare is more challenging to get and obtain because of the constant change in economy, and also government laws.

Jason, Howerton. "CALIF. TEACHERS UNION RELEASES CARTOON VIDEO FEATURING ‘THE RICH’ URINATING ON THE POOR." n. page. Print. <http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12/04/calif-teachers-union-releases-cartoon-video-featuring-the-rich-urinating-on-the-poor/>.

This right here shows how the society of now in days shows the inequality of the poor and the rich, letting people know that the rich have more power and rights over the ones that make way more less money than they do. They show a picture of a rich person who seems to be peeing over the poor and middle class. The video says and shows how the rich only got richer because they evade taxes and use loopholes to hold onto their own money without having to ever worry about losing them. Which the poor cannot do because they do not have any money to begin with.

            La película El Bola se trata de el Chaval llamado Pablo, el es de una casa que es bien preocupante. El papa de el es muy abusivo con el y le maltrata y le pega en todo el cuerpo y le deja moratones y cicatrices. Mucho de los otros chaval sepan que el papa le pega pero todo le hacen la vista gorda. Nadia se enfrentarse con el problema por que no hay suficiente prueba de la crueldad. Pero al fin de la película el esta bien por que el se va a vivir con un amigo de el que promover la prevención de un abuso.

Abuso infantil es un cosa muy malo, los niños no tienen un poder muy grande por que ellos no tiene poder do defenderse contra los adultos que le están abusando. No solamente no saben como defender se pero también tienen miedo de el papa o el persona que esta abusando lo.

            Esto no solamente le afecta cuando son pequeños pero también cuando están mas adultos. Ellos tiene todo lo que paso en la mente y permanece en la memoria de ellos. Ay un ley que dice que el familia debe de protejan a los niños de abuso y neglection. Ellos no tienen poder de hablar con otros de lo que esta pasando, eso es el hacen que hacen la vista gorda. El tiene miedo de que si ellos dicen a nosotros algo de lo que esta pasando en la casa de ellos que el papa o el mama le va abusar mas por tener la boca grande.

            Los símbolos de abuso se ven en unas cosas que pueden saber que el Nino esta abusado. Ellos pueden tener cicatrices, el comportamiento de ellos son bien triste y también no crean hablar con Nadia solamente mar solo y tranquillo. Otras cosas son la negligencia, y la herida. Muchos niños están muerto por esta cosa y no es bueno que mas ninots sufren como los otros niños. Pero tampoco los adultos no pueden hacer nada si no tienen prueba suficiente, pero que mas prueba que los marcas que le dejo el abusador a el Nino. También el Nino puede dicen algo a los policía que le pueden ayudar para capturar el persona que le esta abusando a los niños.

            Por favor si tienes información de un Nino que necesita ayuda, llama a nosotros en 1-800-Abuso-Infantil. Nosotros puédelos ayudar a un Nino y salve la vide de el y de millions de niños en el mundo. Por favor no hagan la vista gorda, llama! Gracias por Leer esta lectura.

Cuando yo pensaba de Chávez yo crea de un hombre malo y tener mucho poder. El era un figura negativa pero todo lo que el hablaba era positivo pero el no guardó su promesa. El dijo que o a los pobres y los ricos se tienen que ayudar, pero de verdad el no hacia nada por ellos. El es un hombre malo!

El tiene dos hijos y cinco hermanos y creo que todas las mujeres eran símbolo de sexo. El tenia un boca grande. El siempre quería tener la  ultima palabra. El era un presidente por 13 años. Supuestamente votaron por el ocho veces pero en mi opinión el cambio los votos.

Yo soy  oposición por que no me gusta lo que el hace, el dice una cosa y hace otra. Para mi no es bueno para todos las personas, pero también como los ricos tiene dinero ellos también se ven pobres. El quiere todo el dinero de la gente pero unos son Chavista y algunos no.

Me gusta mucho cuando la muchacha hablo de la vida de los pobres y los ricos, y que ella no era Chavista por que a ella no le gusta a Chávez. Ella es de la  Oposición. Y ella hablo por que ella no le gusta a Chávez por lo que el hace y el hombre que el era, y yo estoy de acuerdo con ella.

- Crossing the boundaries can be good or bad at the same time depending on what you are planning to doing. If you are crossing the boundary to become happy or something that you always wanted to be, then it has a good impact on your life. It shows that you went far and beyond to succeed in life and make it somewhere where people said you wouldn't. But if you are crossing the boundary the wrong way then it can effect your life as a total piece. If you do something wrong it can lead to death, jail, or even death of the ones you love the most. Therefore no matter how you look at boundaries once you crossed them, you might not know what is going to happen after you do.

- I learned a lot bout myself but not only that i also learned a lot bout my family members, somethings that i would of never knew and looking at there thoughts from a perspective that we barely see on a daily basis. Other i found out how it feels to be a single mother even though I'm not a women or girl but the sense that they were talking touched me in a way where i felt how they felt .

- Nothing was unexpected it was pretty easy just learned a couple things to do on the garage band which was fun larding bout.

- I agree with them they said it was a pretty good interview and that i was on topic throughout the whole thing, everyone has a whole opinion of there own so i really can't agree and disagree because it isn't right or wrong.

- My strengths were to be able to med with  the music and also being able to put everything together. Weakness was to be able to get everyone at the same place so i can be able to interview them all to get it all done. But i worked passed that and got it done on time.

Lesson Learned From Others Actions

Nobody picked up the phone that day, but luckily he left us a message.

“ Hey pop, umm… Well I am in trouble at this moment, I am locked up in North Carolina because the State Police stopped my car on the highway and they found 5 pounds of drugs, umm… when you get this message can you please try to contact me, because I need someone to bail me out.”

I was in the dining room when my mom checked the message. Afterwards, she knew what we had to do.

“Go to “Tito” he has the $200,000 to get me out, okay well I have to go. Love you guys hope to hear from you soon. ”

My mother’s reaction wasn’t so big because my brother wasn’t really her blood son; he was a son in law to her so it didn’t really affect her as much as it did my dad. My dad wasn’t so happy but wasn’t surprised at the same time, because this wasn’t the first time my brother got locked out for this same reason.

So since my dad wasn’t caring much about the situation my mother, sister and I had to do what was right, which was to get it back home. My Mother contacted my sister Glori. She was stunned by the news and told us she would be at our house in 5 min. So she had to travel from her job and come and save her brother from what had happened. This news had just affected everyone. There were people crying and sad, but I tried to be the strong one and keep my composure.

On our way to the Mail Place, I would look back to the days I had with my brother. I would look at the days we spent together, when we were all happy. The days where he would take me places even if it were little rides around the neighborhood, or to the movies, or the mall. I also thought back of the family dinner we used to have and the moments where him and me were the party people in the family. They were good moments for me and I had enjoyed every minute I could have because I knew that wonderful moments don’t last forever.

As we got to the Mail Place, there was a sign saying that the store would be closed in a manner of minutes. So this puzzled us as we were waiting for Tito to get there with the money. But luckily the lady that was in charge that day had to go use the bathroom, so that bought us a lot of time to get the money. Next thing we noticed was Tito and his friend walking into the Store and handing us an envelope with all the money in it.

From this moment that I had with my brother, even though it never happened to me and I never got into this kind of mess, I know what type of life it is, and I make a promise to not only my parents but to myself that I will always do better than he did. I am going to make my life a better place not only for me, but also for my family to come and for my friends. And hopefully my dreams would come true and I can help other families around the world with problems and that need help.

Ever had one of those moments in life when you decide to do something, but never look back and think of the consequences? If your answer is no, well your not the only one. I have never had a moment like this, but in life as you go, you experience things you would never see coming. A lot of people in this world make bad decisions, no matter what age you are. Adults probably make more mistakes than us; they just know how to deal with it. Well the adults that go through it, some might not know how exactly to deal with it so they get stuck in problems and things that only do them bad not good.

Being that the only person I know who does bad is my brother it makes me think and realize that just because he didn’t make any good choices doesn’t mean I cant do different.

1.      What I think the portfolio says about me as a 9^th grade English student is that I was a dedicated student trying my best to do all my work and making a effort to turn it in on time. When everyone see’s my work I expect them to be able to see everything I have accomplished and am proud because I made it through the year with a effort and determination to try my best and past 9^th grade English class.

2.      My strengths in English from my point of view were to be able to do the Benchmarks and projects and do a good job. I also had a lot of improvement since the beginning of the year, when I look back to all my old work and the work I did at the end of the school year I can see the difference and how much I improved on using grammar, words, and punctuation. But not only that I have learned how to use words and learned new words that I never knew. My weakness I would say is to be able to turn everything in on time, and I would try my best to work on this. I have gotten good grades but every time I turn it in late I get points deducted which affects me in many ways.

3.    My experience that I had making this portfolio was very challenging. I learned new ways to put things and how much work I have accomplished even though it feels like I didn’t do that much. I am proud to be able to do half of the things I do but to complete all of them makes me feel like I accomplish something important. I had issues because I had things to complete and some things I needed to tune up a little so in order to do that I came and had people read it for me and tell me what was wrong so I was able to do the tune ups and make it better than it was. It was good to go back into the past work, once you go back into the old stuff you can really tell a lot about yourself. And you can see how much you accomplished.

4.    Lastly the piece I was most proud of must have been my story about my brother bout a memory that we had. I think this because even though I did pretty well on it my teacher also told me that I was the most improved. Because I would listen to her and the things she would tell me to help me and it was pretty helpful because it bring my grade up a lot and I got a better grade than I thought I would get. And this story was a true story that came from the heart, so it was hard for me to get it out my chest so I was proud I had enough strength to come out with this story and tell everyone bout this long lost memory.

Macbeth Analysis

Thesis Statement: In the beginning of the story Lady Macbeth was a crude and mean woman who worked along side her husband, but at the end of the story she distanced herself from him because she felt guilty about what they had done.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 5 Lines: 64-65 Macbeth goes up to a Lady Macbeth to tell her that King Duncan is coming for dinner. This is when Lady Macbeth says to Macbeth “Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it”. What I think this means is that to be close to the king but aim for the target when the time comes. She believes that the easiest way to get all of the goods that the witches told her is by killing the king and anyone in the way to take his spot as king.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 3 Lines: 71-72 Lady Macbeth is convincing Macbeth to not worry about anything that she is going to handle everything. In this quote Lady Macbeth says “To alter favor ever is to fear leave all the rest to me”. What she means when she says this quote is that she thinks that when you change favor from one thing to the next might not be the best move someone cane make cause the thing that the person has might be the best but when they try to change it them it might mess up. Like when she started to change in the story she started to talk her sleep because she was feeling guilty so because of this she committed suicide.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 5 Line 39-43 Lady Macbeth Is aside wanting to change. She wants to change cause she doesn’t want to be a bad person anymore she wants to do good not bad. In this quote she says “ Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe of direct cruelty ”. What she is trying to say is that she wants to be known not as lady that takes orders from someone special who has a word in everything. She wants to have power like men did in those days.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 5 Line: 42-46 Lady Macbeth has is aside and she thinking wanting the spirits to give her everything she wants that would make her powerful. This is when Lady Macbeth says “Make thick my blood; Stop up th’access and passage to remorse, that no compunctious visiting’s of nature shake my fell purpose nor keep peace between the, effect and it”. What she means is that she wants her blood to be thick so that no one can break her so easily and she can be unstoppable and crude.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 5 Line: 46-49 Lady Macbeth is still aside begging the spirits many things so that she can become powerful and not be a regular women who does house chores all day. This is when Lady Macbeth says, “Come to my women’s breasts and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, wherever in your sightless substances you wait on nature’s mischief. What Lady Macbeth is trying to say is that she wants to be filled with evil instead of what fills her in other words she wants to be evil and powerful not full of innocents and love. This shows that she wants to be evil and full of hatred.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 5 Lines: 49-53 Lady Macbeth is aside once again and she is still asking favors from the spirits to become more powerful in her life so she could have a word in the things going on. The quote that Lady Macbeth says is “Come thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, that keen knife see not the wound it makes, nor heaven pep through the blanket of the dark to cry HOLD HOLD”. The meaning of this quote is that she thinks that the blade that they use to kill Duncan is a blade not to see the wound or heaven it is for Duncan to die and never return again.

            In Act: 1 Scene: 7 Line: 55-58 Lady Macbeth tries to man handle Macbeth with her words and with her sexual touches and feelings. This is when Lady Macbeth says “ How tender tis to love the babe that milks me; I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains out, had I sworn as you have done to this”. What she means in this quote is that if she would have made a promise and said she would have done it even if she loved the person or thing she would have done it if she had sworn it.

            In Act: 2 Scene: 2 Line: 67-68 Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth that he did a good thing in order to become a king or ruler just play if off and act like it never happened and that you are not guilty. This is when Lady Macbeth says, “My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white”. What she means by this quote is that she is in the mix with him but she is not letting it get the best of her. This shows that she already had this planned out in her head.

            In Act: 5 Scene: 1 Line: 61-63 Lady Macbeth is sleep in her castle because she feels guilty about convincing Macbeth to kill Duncan while he was in his sleep. In This quote Lady Macbeth says, “Wash you hands, put on your nightgown, and look not so pale. I tell you yet again, Duncan’s Buried. He cannot come out on grave” What she means is that she telling Macbeth to stop being worried and scared about being caught for the killing of Duncan.

            In Act: 5 Scene: 1 Line: 65-67 Lady Macbeth is sleep walking thinking about what her and Macbeth did to Duncan feeling guilty. In this quote Lady Macbeth says, “To bed, to bed; there’s knocking at the gate. Come, come, come, come, and give me your hand. What’s done cannot be undone”. What she is trying to say in this quote is that whatever they did cannot be put back so they have to face the consequences. This showing that she is lighting up and thinks that it enough no more has to be done. Also she is feeling guilty for what her and Macbeth had done and for that she kills herself so they won’t find out what her and Macbeth had done.

Conclusion:

My conclusion is that Lady Macbeth was all mean and stuff in the beginning of the story but then as she started to do things that was getting to her she wanted to be the nice and innocent one and didn’t want to get caught so she committed suicide and killed herself.

         The title of the story I read was Treasure Island written by Robert Louis Stevenson. This story was named to be the first adventure stories written specifically for adolescents without an obvious emphasis on teaching morals. This story was later on made into a movie, T.V show, and also into Audio and radio. In the movie Treasure Island Orson Welles played as Long John Silver in the film.

         In this story the narrator for most of this book is Jim Hawkins, he is

          About 15 years old, he is the son of a innkeeper near Bristol, which is located in

         England. Even though he is young he wants to go out hunting for treasures just

         like all the other pirates. This man named Billy Bones who is known for a scar on

         cheek  pays to stay at the Jim’s inn for a while and tells the Jim to keep a

         for a man that has one leg missing. But then one day as Billy takes a walk

         he returns and is confronted by a so called man named Black Dog. They have a

         very deep and harmful conversation which ends in blood and pain, but

         apparently Billy has a stroke during the battle and dies in the middle of the

         kitchen room.

                   When Billy dies Jim and his mother make a plan to attempt to find

         The treasure that he was hiding, but then when they find the key around his

         Neck and open the chest they find only gold. But as they are going through the

chest they hear foot steps and voices outside the inn so they head out and on

there way running Jim’s mother faints. When she faints he drags her under a

bridge, which they hide. But then he gets interested and pokes his head out and

can see men going into the inn and becoming mad and irritated that Billy was

dead. So the one thing that was going through Jim’s head is that they don’t

want Billy or the chest, they are going for something much more bigger. But

what ?

         Towards the end of the story Jim is taken by Long John Silver to the

Treasure spot but they find out that someone else had been there. So the men of Long John Silver think that he set them up and they all turned against them. When this happened Dr. Livesey, Ben Gunn, and Abraham Gray emerge from the trees, their muskets smoking. They had saved the life of Long John Silver. He was glad to be saved but happier to find out that hey had took the treasure and took it to a cave where it was hid from everyone , and they were the only ones that knew where it was at. Then they all ended up splitting the gold and having a good meal together and live happy with the gold that they found.

         I have never been in a situation like this before or have ever heard someone or seen someone go through this before. I have also never done any of these things because it was a modern time when pirates were existing and they were the stories of treasures that were supposedly hidden on islands. I do not relate to this story in any way I think unless I go on a trip in search of something I would be the one to hide and take the trip slow cause I might not know what might be popping out. Also in one way I would be alike is the way I would help my partners that are in need or they are not in need. I would be the team player and not only care a bout me but about everyone that is on the trip with us cause I would know that not only am I putting my life on the line but they are also.

         I like this book a lot it was a action packed story, which they were intense moments, and there were moments where you can image what was going on in your head. This story was good by using imagery but it didn’t really teach a lesson at the end. This book was mostly about learning from your mistakes. My strengths for this book were that it was easy to read and he was sticking to one narrator or 2 not to a lot all at once. If I would try to change something about the story I would change that it should be more information and make more sense of setting cause a couple of time I got lost in where the characters are at during the time.

         I would recommend this book to anyone because it would be entertaining to people in many ways because of the action and the way it was written. So yes I would tell anyone to read this book on there spear time and  have fun enjoying it.

Journal 2:            Some expectations put upon me by others are that people look up to me and expect me to d well in school and also do a good job on keeping up with my school work and grades. Also they expect me to be kind and helpful to other people that are strangers or not. My expectations are to do well in school and also try my best to treat others the same as other people. No they are not different in any ways but I have some that are different as my own expectation is for me to become something in life I think everyone has that to me.

Journal 3:            The thing that defines an adult is when they are mature and have learned the meaning of life. When they get a job and have children and are able to pay there own bills and pay for there own home. Also when a person is done their education and has become something in life. You find out if your grown up is when you start doing things like a grown up. Working, Kids, Bills everything that an adult does in order to live a life.

Journal 4:            When I exceeded expectations was when my parents thought I was not going to play for the basketball team. So I said you know just for saying that I am going to prove you all wrong. So when I went to try out for the team I gave it my all and came on the top and proved to them that I was good enough. Since that day they won’t dare to say anything cause they know I would give it my 110%. I like when people think I can’t do anything because it makes me feel good. Well sounds weird but I like it cause it makes me want to prove to them that I can do it no matter what they say. I like challenges because I would live up to the opportunity and show people how I can do things even if they think I can’t ever do it. I also had a time that some exceeded my expectations. It was my little sis. He had bad grades in her school and then at the end she made it to the end and passed the grade.
