What's you definition of Knowledge ?

Knowledge is defined as the body of truth, information, and principles acquired by human kind. Knowledge is important because we remember what we have learned in the past for the future. It's like a box full of memories or important facts. People uses different sources to find information about certain things. There are multiple levels of knowledge such as extreme knowledge for those who are very smart or moderate knowledge for those who are average. If we did not have knowledge, we would not know how to educate ourselves when we learn something new for a job or learning in school.
We need knowledge to understand ourselves. Knowledge has been used for centuries from scholars, psychologists and more. They tried to interpret where knowledge comes from. They did experiments and learned that knowledge comes from a certain part of the brain. It interprets what to remember and what to forget. When we write an essay, we need to know how to write a introduction that includes a topic sentence and a thesis. We also need to know how to write body paragraphs that have great detail with quotes. Finally, writing a conclusion that wraps up your essay.

Media Project

The media projects helped me see the meanings of each concordance of Shakespeare visually. I was able to see the sonnets in pictures rather than reading it straight from the book. I was able to understand the deeper meaning of what the characters in Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare means

small object to LARGE object essay thoughts

When I was thinking several ideas for the small object to LARGE object essay, several ideas came to mind such botox, junk food and caffeinated drinks. The first two, both seemed like good topics to write about but they were too broad which is why i wrote about caffeinated drinks. I used sources to prove my points about how caffeinated beverages affect society, college students and athletes. When i say caffeinated beverages, i mean Redbull, Monster Energy and other energy drinks out there. Organizing this essay was pretty difficult because that is not my strongest point. When I went to the Writing Center, the tutor helped me alot with organization, grammar and making the essay flow. I will definitely go to the Writing Center in the future because they helped and taught me a lot. GO TO THE WRITING CENTERRR

Act 2 Inkshedding

Fabian "If I lose a scruple of this sport, let me be boiled to death with melancholy" (2.5, pg. 75)

Sir Toby, Maria and Andrew thought it would be funny to play a joke on Malvolio by forging a letter written by Olivia for him to find. Being a fool or prankster, Fabian thought it would be funny to be part of the drama associated with the joke. They thought it was funny to pull a joke on Malvolio for a good laugh. The fool says if he misses part of the joke, he will be boiled to death.

Reenacting Shakespeare of Act 2

In class today, we reenacted William Shakespeare’s play The Twelfth Night of Act Two. It was interesting and funny to listen to my classmates trying to imitate the characters and use the language of Shakespeare. It was easier to understand what was going on because the dialogue was filled with body language to make the story alive. Those who were observing were somewhat like the audience of a modern day Shakespearean play because we were laughing and giggling. Two male classmates played the two main female characters, Olivia and Viola, which was interesting because in Shakespeare’s time, men played as female roles.
