An Awesome Porsche that Everyone Must Know

1. Porsche 917

The Porsche 917 project began in 1968. Within two years, the car became a winning machine dominating the World Supercar Championship in 1970 and 1971. The car also won Le Mans 2 times. The car was so great that in 1971, set a distance record only beat in 2010 by an Audi R15.

Chapters 8 and 9 of The Great Gatsby

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 of The Great Gatsby was very interesting. I thought how interesting it was for Gatsby to wait outside Daisy’s house until 4 a.m.; I just thought he was crazy how he stayed there until 4; I would have been long gone before then. Nick suggested to Gatsby that he should just leave and forget about Daisy. That’s almost like telling me to forget about them beautiful Porsches. I just figured that Gatsby wouldn’t go down without a fight for the woman he loves. Gatsby then goes into detail about the first time him and Daisy met. He loved her youth and vitality and idolized her social position, wealth and popularity. This flashback brought up where his made up family past came into being. I just felt that he must of really liked her to change his past to match what she wanted, but I also felt that if she really loved him back, she would love him even if Gatsby was a poor boy. The butler then interrupted the story about draining the pool. Gatsby told him to not drain it because he wanted to use it. I just felt that it was just a relaxing day at the pool until the most traumatic thing happened. Turns out that George went to Tom’s house threatening him for killing his wife. Then Tom tells him that Jay killed her. So, George walks up to Gatsby at the pool and kills Gatsby and then kills himself! I just thought it was so horrible because the death of Myrtle was Daisy’s fault. Overall, I felt that this chapter had a lot of action and trauma in it.

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 of The Great Gatsby was an interesting chapter. I just thought it was so different how Nick told about it 2 years after Gatsby’s funeral happened. I also thought it was so weird how no one would come to his funeral except for his dad. I also felt that his dad just showed up out of nowhere. It does make sense though because of Gatsby’s involvement in illegal activities. When Gatsby’s funeral happens it is raining and very dreary. Only Gatsby’s dad, Nick, and Owl Eyes show up. I just thought it was horrible how no one really cared about Gatsby because he is such a good person. After all this, Nick decides to move back west because everyone is so heartless in the east. Ironically in New York, Nick runs into Tom and refuses to shake his hand. I thought that Tom was such a horrible person for sending George for Gatsby. I just felt that they could have come and paid their respects to Gatsby because he was such a good person. On the last night before Nick left, Nick imagined what the explorers thought of the new world that they found. I thought the ending was good, and really made me think back to what our founding fathers created and ho far it has come since then.

The Great Gatsby Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby was really exciting! I just thought it was weird how Gatsby called off all of his parties. I also thought that it was an overreaction to fire all his servants and hire those shady characters connected to Meyer Wolfshiem. On the hottest day of the summer, Nick drove to Daisy and Tom’s house for lunch and was surprised to find Gatsby and Jordan there. I really thought it was weird how Daisy seemed to not care about the baby girl. Later, Daisy asks Gatsby if he wants to go to the city. Tom actually finds that they like each other and decides to go to New York. I just don’t really understand why they had to stop at Wilson’s garage instead of any other place along the highway. Once in NY, the group decides to go to a hotel and rent a suite. There Tom confronts Gatsby and accused Gatsby of running a bootlegging operation and not going to Oxford. Gatsby responded that he isn’t involved with bootlegging and that he went for 5 months. I couldn’t believe when Nick remembered that it was his birthday; I mean who forgets their birthday? I also thought that it didn’t make sense how Tom sent Daisy back with Gatsby. When Tom and everyone else head back home, they come to a fatal accident that killed Myrtle. I just thought it was a coincidence that a yellow coupe hit the car. There are tons of yellow coupes that are around anymore. Overall, I thought this chapter was the most exciting chapter, and this chapter is probably going to lead to something way worse.

The Great Gatsby Chapter 6

Chapter 6 of The Great Gatsby was a good chapter. You know that you are popular when a reporter goes to your house all the way from New York. In this chapter, the true past of Jay Gatsby is finally revealed! I thought it was going to be more interesting than it actually was; I was expecting that he actually was son of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. Mr. Gatsby was actually born as James Gatz and from North Dakota. I just thought it was so interesting that he came from there; Nick then tells how Gatsby moved up to the shores of Lake Superior to fish and dig for clams. I just thought it was so ironic how there was a yacht that Jay decided to warn, and find out that the owner, Dan Cody, kept him and took him all around the continent. I thought that it was also horrible when Cody’s mistress didn’t allow Gatsby to have his $25,000! Tom also arrives to visit Gatsby. I just thought that Gatsby was uneasy. Daisy also decides to go to one of Gatsby’s Saturday parties. Tom comes to keep an eye on Daisy, and he even tries to convince her that Jay actually is a bootlegger. I just thought that was really Tom’s jealousy speaking, and I also believe that Tom was trying to defend his marriage to Daisy by coming. After the party, Gatsby talks to Nick how Daisy wasn’t happy. Nick tells him that the past can’t be relived, but Gatsby says otherwise. I just wonder how Nick actually knew what happened when Gatsby and Daisy first kissed. Other than that, I found this chapter to be a step in the right direction toward Gatsby’s story how he got rich.

Chapters 3,4,5 of Great Gatsby

Chapter 3

I thought Chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby was interesting. I mean who doesn’t like to party, but this kind of takes on a whole new meaning. How many times were you invited to a party with an entire symphony orchestra, or been to a house where most people drive Rolls-Royces? Back to what my point was, this is more of a ball than a party! As in prior chapters, Gatsby was believed to be many things; in this case, they thought he was a spy for Germany in WWI. I mean who would do that, especially if they were on the American side? I kind of thought it was a coincidence that Gatsby was in the 7^th Infantry and Nick was in the 9^th Machine Gun Battalion, and actually saw each other. I also wonder how they survived “The Great War, The War to End All Wars?” I know that the USA wasn’t really involved, but they still suffered many casualties. The only thing that confused me is why Gatsby calls Nick “old sport, ” I mean where did he get that nickname from? While looking for Gatsby, Nick and his buddy Jordan Baker wondered into a library finding a very strange man. He was telling how all the books had information. I just thought that guy had a little too much to drink that night. Overall, I thought this chapter was interesting, and had many things going on at one time which kind of ties back to the roaring 20s.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby was an awkward chapter in this novel. As always, people had many stories about Gatsby, in this case, he was thought to be the nephew of Von Hindenburg (second president of German republic, overthrown by Hitler) and second cousin of the devil. I just thought that was weird; how can you be cousin to the devil anyway? From the way it looks, throughout the rest of the book, people are, probably, going to have ridiculous stories about Gatsby. For about two pages, the narrator listed all the families that lived on East and West Egg. I didn’t really get why this was in the book; I didn’t really seem like something important to the text. Then, Nick was invited to lunch with Gatsby. As they are driving to the city, Gatsby told about his past. I thought it was good that Nick finally got the truth. Gatsby said that he was part of a wealthy family in the Midwest, San Francisco actually, and went to Oxford in England. Because his family died, Gatsby came into huge amounts of wealth. Gatsby’s story kind of sounds farfetched, to me, because Nick meets Meyer Wolfshiem sounds like a crime lord. Gatsby also talked about being in WWI, and trying to die! I just thought that was so weird, usually you try to survive instead of dying. Also, Gatsby loved Daisy before he went to war. She just married Tom because Gatsby was gone. Gatsby asks Nick to invite Daisy to tea so he can finally talk to her. Overall, this chapter gave lots of background info that is building up to the novels climax.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby was kind of interesting. I thought it was weird how Gatsby’s house was lit up like a Christmas tree but with no one home. I also thought it was awkward how Gatsby seemed nervous trying to make Nick go along with his plan to see Daisy again. When Nick goes with Gatsby’s plan, he is overjoyed and offers him many things. I thought it was weird how Nick was offended when Gatsby offered money to set up the meeting. The only thing that matters is that Nick will arrange the meeting. I thought it was ironic when it was raining on the day of the meeting. Gatsby became nervous, and Daisy arrived; somehow Jay disappeared until a little later. I thought it was funny when Jay knocked over the clock. At first, both of them felt awkward, so Nick decided to leave Jay and Daisy alone for a half hour and came back to them both happy as can be. I thought it was also ironic when the clouds broke and the rain stopped when both of them were happy. After that, Gatsby invited Nick and Daisy over to his mansion. I thought it was kind of awkward how Jay told Daisy how he always looked at the green light at the end of her dock thinking about their future. I also think it has another meaning, I thought the green light also represents the “American dream.” Overall, I thought this chapter was a good chapter where love triumphs over all.

Why I Don't Like Sharing My Writing

I really don't like sharing my writing because sometimes my writing doesn't sound the way it should. I still do think sharing my writing is a good idea because everyone can input what I could improve on and make my writing even better than it already was. The thing I fear is everyone making fun of the way I write or the way my essay sounds. However, I do know that it is for the best and can make my entire essay better, and maybe, and get me an A or B+ on my essay which would really be nice. I still think my fear is just nothing because my essay could be the best in the class.

The Cold Makes Me Want To.....

The cold makes me want to play video games, in specific, NFS Hot Pursuit. I love how I can drive where ever I want to on the game. I also love the PORSCHES, LAMBOS, and Koenigsegg car on it. Anyway, the cold also makes me want to do homework because I have nothing better to do outside. However, when there is snow on the ground, I love to ride my bike through the elements and go whereever I want to, as long as there is snow.

Free Write

I felt that I did a good job when it came down to my writing in the Fredrick Douglas essay. I do, however, want to improve on writing my thesis statement, and just getting my thoughts down onto paper. When it comes down to it, writing a thesis statement, for me, is the most challenging part of writing an essay. Whenever I try to write one, it turns out very weak; My essay also turns out not great because of the way my thoughts are organized. I usually end up doing a okay job in writing, but when it comes down to writing things down it sometimes ends up all jumbled up and just not the way it was in my head. What I really need to nail on my next essay is the thesis statement, and get my thoughts out onto paper much better than on the Fredrick Douglass essay.

The Awakening Response

The Awakening was a great book that described what women were going through in the late 1890s. The book started out on Grand Isle down by New Orleans. The main character, Edna, was talking to another person, Robert. Edna talked about  how the ocean remind her of the Kentucky bluegrass fields; Robert talked about striking it rich in Mexico. I thought it was interesting how the book started off this way. Later, Edna is relaxing when her husband tells her that the kids have a fever. I really thought it was different how she didn't even respond to what he said. I believe that is when Edna started thinking for herself other than other people. The author even shows that when Edna moves from their elegant palace to a pigeon house across the street, for she wanted a small place just to get away from reality. I really thought that it was kind of good for her to think of herself. But soon, Robert returns and Edna falls in love with him and actually begins to dislike her husband. I thought it was cool how she found a new love. I thought that the end was very weird though. I really don't understand why she drove herself to suicide.

The Best Lamborghini Ever

1. The Lamborghini Countach!!
The Lamborghini Countach was introduced in 1980 or so. It came standard with a V-12 and 6 speed gearbox. The first Countach, the LP400, could easily hit 180 mph. The best improvement to the car was when Lamborghini put the Quattrovalvole engine into the Countach LP500 S (or 5000 S). That car would hit 190. Sadly, in 1988, the ending of the Countach was near. They used the Countach for the 25th Anniversary of Lamborghini

Chapter 31 The Jungle (You are now leaving the Jungle)

Chapter 31 was a great final chapter to Sinclair’s socialist novel. I thought the overall mood of the chapter was much higher than most of the novel. Most of this chapter was socialist arguments that Sinclair integrated (kind of) into the story line. The chapter starts where Jurgis goes to see Marija; he tries to get Marija to quit prostitution. Marija explains how she is addicted to dope, and she can’t quit even though she wants to. I thought that it was a horrible story of what happens when you get involved with illegal drugs. (Even though they weren’t illegal at the time.) I was expecting Jurgis to plead his case, but Jurgis just leaves her to her job. I just wish that Jurgis never ran away because the family wouldn’t be going through this if didn’t run away in the first place. Jurgis then attends a meeting with a prominent socialist, Nicholas Schliemann, and a magazine editor. This is where Sinclair’s fight for socialism began in the chapter. I really liked how Schliemann really argued for socialism, and described most evils of the capitalistic way of things at that time. I thought it was also interesting how Jurgis never spoke during Schliemann’s spiel, even though Jurgis was supposed to describe the meat packing industry. At the end, Socialism makes a serious jump into the national spotlight by winning major races in the government. I really liked how inspirational the speaker was when he said, “The fight is not over yet … Chicago will be ours!”  I really liked that, and thought it was the best ending of one of the MOST depressing books I have ever read.

Chapter 29 and 30 The Jungle

Chapters 29 and 30 were good; Jurgis finally finds people who knows what has happened to him. I thought that was the ah ha moment of the book. Jurgis meets the speaker after the meeting and talks with him. Jurgis is then directed to Ostrinski, a Polish man who speaks Lithuanian. I thought that this was Jurgis's major step into socialism. Ostrinski explains the there are 2 groups of society, the small capitalistic class; Then there is the large working class. I really agreed with what he said because that explains why Jurgis never got a job after his incidents with jail and him fighting just to get sleep. I thought it was cool how Jurgis went to see Teta and contribute to the family. I also liked how Teta decided to come to socialist meetings every now and then. Later in chapter 30, Jurgis finds a job at a motel, as a porter. As it turns out, Jurgis's new boss, Tommy Hinds is one of the states organizers for the party. I thought it was cool how they are from the same party, and I believe that Jurgis will have his job there as long as he is a socialist. I thought it was interesting how the author kind of steeped out to tell more about the evils of capitalism. I kind of liked Jurgis's enthusiasim toward his new party, but I also think it's funny how he gets angry how he can't get people to become socialist. Overall, this was the chapter that was the turning point in the book toward capitalism being abolished.

Chapter 27 and 28 of The Jungle

Chapters 27 and 28 were horrible. Jurgis starts out very poor and is begging for a job. I thought that Jurgis was pretty much done, and Jurgis really couldn't go much longer. I really liked how Jurgis got a job, but it was a job Jurgis couldn't do because he was to weak. I thought it was horrible how Jurgis went from a strong, healthy man to a tramp! He goes to a political meeting, only to fall asleep and get dragged out by a cop. I thought it was good how Jurgis got some sleep during the speeches, but other people at the meeting did not want a person who sleeps at their meeting. I thought it was very interesting how he met an old friend who knew where everyone lived. I thought that it was a little glimmer of hope for Jurgis. Jurgis goes to Marija's place, and learns what happened to Stanislovas; reading about how Stanislovas was eaten alive just horrified me. When Jurgis gets to the address, he goes in to find Marija is a prostitute. I thought it was weird, but you do what you have to do to get money.
Chapter 28 begins in a courtroom where the girls and Jurgis were taken. I thought it was funny how nobody even recognized Jurgis as Conner's attacker. What was more interesting was how the woman in charge kidnapped girls and gave them drugs! I never thought somebody would do such a horrible thing. Jurgis then gets Elzbieta's address and is urged to go visit, but Jurgis decides not to because he feels ashamed after leaving them and not having a job. I would do the same because I lacked a job, and just left without my family even knowing. Instead of going to Teta's house, he goes to a socialist party meeting. I thought that it was great how Jurgis finally finds someone who has gone through what he has gone through.Concluding, these chapters went through Jurgis's desire for a job, and his life as a hobo.

Chapter 26 Reaction

I thought that this chapter went from high to low. The major thing that happened in this chapter is when the unions went on strike. I thought it was awkward how they had their salaries garnished while Jurgis actually gained money. Jurgis then becomes boss on the killing beds. I thought it was funny how he got a job where he started; I also thought how interesting it was for him to be the boss! The packers were desperate for workers, for the price of meat went through the roof. I liked how the packers were the ones suffering, not the workers. I really didn't like how the strikers weren't peaceful at the end, for strikes are a peaceful protest, not a riot. That also begs to question, why did policemen rob the bar where they chased men, those people weren't really good policemen. Then, when everything is going so great, Jurgis comes face to face with Phil Conner again. As always, he beats the man and is drug off from him with a piece of Conner's throat in his mouth. I thought it was such a major coincidence that Jurgis ends up seeing Conner again. I thought he could of just walked on by and didn't do anything. Jurgis faces bail, and gets the bail lowered to 300 dollars. I really didn't like that because he worked so hard for his money and had it taken away just like that. Therefore, that is why this chapter was so up and down, from rich and "like an american hero" to the shame of being homeless and jobless.

The Jungle Chapters 23-26 Response

Chapters 23-26 were okay, a little up and down. The reading starts with Jurgis moving back to Chicago. I wondered why he went back to Chicago because it is a living heck in that city. After that, he finds a job digging underground tunnels. While at this job, Jurgis doesn’t think ahead and ends up spending most of his money on alcohol. That just didn’t make sense to me because I thought Jurgis would of learned his lesson on spending money, after the situation in the previous chapter. Then, Jurgis got injured on the job, which was no surprise to me because he has injured himself on some of his best jobs. He ends up spending Christmas in the hospital. I felt bad for him because I would really not like being in the hospital on all days other than Christmas. He is ushered out onto the streets and has to fight other bums to get a place to sleep. But a once in a lifetime event occurred, Jurgis met Freddie Jones, the son of Jones the packer! Freddie actually took him home for a huge feast, even though Hamilton the butler didn’t approve. I thought it was amazing how he had such a coincidence to meet a rich man and get to eat rich food. Jones gave Jurgis a $100 bill to pay the taxi driver and to keep the change for himself, but can’t get change. He goes to a saloon to try it anyway. When Jurgis pays for his drink with the 100 dollar bill, the bartender gives him 95 cents, and Jurgis beats the bartender for cheating him. He goes to jail for 10 days plus costs. I thought it was cool how Jones gave him a 100 dollar bill, that just shows how rich the people of this time period were. Jurgis meets Jack Duane, a part of the criminal underground in Chicago. Jurgis joins and becomes wealthier than he ever did. Other than that, I thought that the chapters were great for Jurgis, and not so great either.

Chapter 20-23 Reaction

Chapters 20-23 were way better than all chapters before, in my opinion. It starts off horrible. Jurgis is blacklisted from all factories in Packingtown but goes into downtown to find a real job. The family is only surviving on the children’s salaries. I thought it was interesting how the family was only surviving on a very little salary. Jurgis looks for a job for many days, and finds one at a farming machine factory. I thought he had serious determination to look for that long.  After that moment, thing become much better because a rich woman find out about the families situation. She actually helps out Jurgis with a job, after the farm machine manufacturing factory closes, and works at a steel mill. I first thought that it was so pointless to get a job for a couple weeks and lose it. However, that rich lady helped him out and got him a new job, that made me happy for Jurgis. Later in the chapter, he comes home after a hard week and finds that his son died when playing on the sidewalk. I thought it was a travesty for Jurgis, for Antannas was the only real ray of sunshine for Jurgis. After that, Jurgis runs away to the countryside to find work. I tought it was good for Jurgis to get out of the city and recharge his batteries. Eventually, he builds up a huge sum of money. I was happy for him, but was horrified about how he spent it all. He blew it all one night on alcohol and women.

Chapters 7-20 Reaction

Chapters 7-20 were rough. Winter came and hit everyone like a ton of bricks. Illness was very common because of the unsanitary conditions at the factories. With winter brings untold death throughout Packingtown because of no heaters. I thought that those high up people were cheap and ruthless because they didn’t even keep their workers warm. Jurgis and Ona are $100 in debt because of their wedding. Then Marija fell in love with Tamoszius, the musician, and begin wedding plans. Marija lost her job at the canning factory and has to put off her wedding plans. Later, Jurgis find out that there were hidden expenses that they didn’t know about. I thought it was good for Marija to find love, and thought it was really stupid how that agent didn’t entail all the expenses; I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I were the agent. Jurgis sprains his ankle when a stampede happens, and couldn’t go back to work for three months. I thought that it was bad since he was a major part of income. He then looked for weeks for a new job, and got one in a fertilizer mill. I felt very bad for him for he had to work in a place that smelled horrible. Ona isn’t able to come home on some nights because of the horrible snow, but in reality because of another man. When Jurgis finds out what the foreman did to Ona, he runs to find him and almost killed him. I thought it ought to teach him a lesson on not messing with his wife, and also believed he deserved it since he did it and was totally wrong. Jurgis ends up in jail for thirty three days (3 extra day since he couldn’t afford his trial, original was 30), and while he was in jail, the family ends up losing the house and moving back to the boarding house where they were first. I thought it was very sad because they needed that house. When Jurgis gets out, he has to go 20 miles to find that his house is no longer his. He finds out that the family moved back to the boarding house and goes there. I thought that he had a lot of guts to run 20 miles to find that his house wasn’t his. I would have completely lost control if I had to move to back to a home I had before and lost all my money in a house that was mine! When Jurgis arrives, he hears Ona screaming and feels horrible. He asked everyone for a donation and runs to find a doctor. I thought it was seriously great how he ran so far for family, I would of ran across the continent to get my family if I had to. Jurgis bring a doctor who will work for 1.50 instead of the usual 25. Jurgis is urged to leave and wait till morning. The doctor, on the other hand, goes to help Ona. Jurgis returns in the morning to find that the baby died and Ona is dying. I tought this was horrible because she was his love for all his life and she died. I felt bad for everyone else because she was the finance director for the family. Overall, these were very rough chapters.

Flowers for Algernon First Part Response

I thought Flowers For Algernon is a good book so far. The main character is Charlie Gordon. He is a retarded person with an I.Q. of 63. I felt bad for him since he is such a nice person and everyone is so mean to him. He wants to have an operation done on his brain. I thought that this was a little sci-fi more than realistic things. I also thought how could someone get so smart off of some operation on his brain, I believe that it will backfire. He talks about a “raw shok” test. Charlie, when doing the test, tries to look for images inside the inkblots. I thought it was funny how he looked really hard for pictures inside of the inkblots. I also thought it is interesting how people use the Rorschach test, and how it works. I believed that Charlie’s friends Joe and Frank were very mean. They were mean because they took him to a bar and ditched him! Who would do such a thing? I really hated his friends after that. Charlie met many people including a mouse, yes a mouse, named Algernon. They did the surgery on Algernon before they did it on Charlie. He was the most successful experiment in the scientists’ experiments. Their experiments actually increased the I.Q. score of Algernon, and would hopefully do so to Charlie. Overall, this first part of the book was great. It had a little bit of everything, and hopefully after Charlie’s surgery he will become smart like Algernon and everyone else.

The Jungle Chapter 4,5,6 Reflection

In chapters 4, 5, and 6, many important things happened.  In Chapter 4, Jurgis started his job of sweeping entrails of slaughtered cattle through trap doors. I thought it was a good thing because he got a job and is bringing income into their household of 12. One day while Jurgis was going to work, he saw advertisements for 4 room houses for $1500. I thought this was a good deal because houses today range from $50,000 to millions. It turns out they are able to afford a house. It then turns into a huge ordeal and they decide to go through with it. After they make the purchase, Jurgis finds out about what they were confused on, and consults a lawyer to solve the problem. It turns out they were worried for no reason, and they were now the proud owners of a new home. I thought this was a great deal of joy for the owners. In Chapter 5, the new home owners are buying little things here and there to make their house more bearable. Jurgis finds out that many co-workers hate their jobs, bosses, and they pace of the line. I agree with them, I could never work in a meat packing facility and move at the pace they were going. Many of the members find out their jobs are often at the expense of someone else. I understood this, but didn’t like how they just kept going and just threw people out who can’t keep up with the work. Chapter 6 was revealing. Turns out the home they purchased was made of the cheapest materials, and weren’t brand new, more like fifteen years old. I thought this was a bunch of hogwash because the house builders shouldn’t be falsely advertising a home. What made me more mad was how the houses were really cheap. The 12 member family also learns that they need to pay interest on their debt, which actually brings their monthly sum close to 20 dollars! I strongly disliked this because they had an agreement that it would be 12 dollars, and there was nothing about interest on the contract! Overall, these were chapters that went from one extreme to another.
