I'm About to Break!



           In the novel 1984, George Orwell writes on how he believes the future will be. In Part 3, Chapter 1, Winston is put in a prison cell in the Ministry of Love which has 4 telescreens on each wall watching him because he was caught with Julia in Mr. Charrington's' upstairs room. In Chapter 2, O'Brien sees Winston's torture sessions. He tells Winston's that his crime was refusing to accept to Party's control of history and his memory. O'Brien increases the pain more and more until Winston will give in and start believing into what O'Brien tells him. In Chapter 3, O'Brien tells Winston about the Party's motives after weeks of interrogation and torture. What I can tell from is that when  he is given enough pain to the point that he cannot take it anymore is when he breaks.
            I believe my breaking point is when people don't listen and are completely rude and they don't care about other people. My breaking point was broken last week during my Spanish 2 class when a student was continuing to talk while the whole entire class was silent waiting for that teacher to continue his story, she got to the point when she was talking for at least 2 minutes. After that I couldn't take it anymore and I shouted "SHUT UP ALREADY!". I regretted it after because it started a whole fight between my table and theirs. This shows that my breaking point is when someone doesn't not care about anyone else or is extremely rude.
            In final analysis, I can relate my breaking point to Winston's because reaching your breaking point is when you are pushed to a point in which you just break and you just loose it and say wants on your mind. In Winston's case he was pushed to the point by O'Brien increasing pain into him until he started to believe everything he was telling him even though he knew it was wrong.

Acerca de Mí


Well to start off this acerca de mí essay I would like to talk about who I am. I'm a person who likes to have fun and hang out with friends. I love haunted or supernatural stuff including: haunted houses, haunted walks, ghost stories, and ghost hunter kind of shows. That's why Halloween is my favorite holiday next to Christmas. It's kind of ironic that I love Halloween now, but when I was younger I was deathly afraid of anything remotely scary. For some reason I'm not really good at writing essays at all, this essay in general took me a couple hours even though I procrastinated a little. My goals in life general (Long Term) is to be a graphic designer or video game creator. Video games are my favorite thing to do when I have nothing else to do. They're time consuming and are just plainly fun to play. My favorite games to play include: Modern Warfare 3, Assassins Creed, and Minecraft. I play either Xbox, PS3, or PC games.
            My other goals as in short term would to bring my GPA up to at least a 3.5 being it is a 2.5 right now. I don't really have my goals all in order at the moment. I believe I will have them all set out by the time I'm mid Junior year. I'm a HUGE procrastinator, mostly because at this point of this essay it is 10:31pm but it seems pretty easy. Also, I'm a honest person, I don't like to lie to people. I come from many different cultures. I would call myself by who I am. Not white. But by my cultures. I'm French, German, Hungarian, Irish, Polish, and Dutch. Mostly I see myself as German, Irish, Polish, and French because I don't know where and what Dutch is. I find it weird that I'm French but I take Spanish instead. Ironic isn't it? Well, I guess this is where I'm going to cut off my acerca de mí at 345 words.

First Time Blogger

So, I guess we have to do this blog thing for English. Might as well. So my blog is mostly going to be about my friends. Not the so called "friends", but the ones who are there for you and don't go behind you backs. My blogs will be just everyday things that happens at school or on the weekends. Like today, I got my ear stabbed by a pencil. Not intentionally, but by accident. If you are reading this, you probably know who you are x). I like to use emoticons in my typing. It gives more "emotion" to the writing, hence the name "emoticons". To me, the friends that are your real friends are the ones who don't complain on what you talk about, they will listen to you. I have maybe 3 of those. You know who you are :). This passing Saturday was the best Saturday that I can remember. I went to the Fright Fest at Six Flags Great America. I went with 2 of my most closest friends, we had an awesome time. Mostly because we got scared, but I love getting scared. It gives me a rush. Me and my two friends got chased by a man-wolf into a store! He wouldn't let us out! But eventually he left and started to scare other people in the park.
