Ishmael #7

According to Ishmael the only way to save the world is to revert back to leavers and no more killing off competition no more stocking excess food. We would have to live like native Americans and take what we need and when we kill deer we use every part of it, like its hide for clothes its organs for string and its meat for food.

In my opinion the world doesn't need saving the world can adapt and when the worlds adapts we can too so we should just live the way were living and when we run out of gas or something then we just switch to another source of energy.

QQC #3

"In order to become fully human, man had to pull himself out of the slime."

I like this quote because it says that to do something great you have to make a big sacrifice so in order to save the world you have to un-live the life of a big consumer and eat environmentally friendly foods and get an electric car and sacrifice an easy life.

ishmale QQC #2

"Because you think that the whole world belongs to you"

Why do humans think that every thing belongs to them?

I think that when people get things that aren't necessarily theirs they claim it for their own for exsample when they go and get to a new area such as if England goes to Africa they can go and put a flag on the world and they claim it for the queen.

Ishmael # 2

The story of man began before people could read or write. They were like any other animals but they didn't have claws or fangs like bears or lions did. Instead they had brains and with them they advanced from clubs to sticks with spear heads to swords and so on. Way back then they thought that lions, tigers and bears were their threat or disease but now they have nuclear weapons that can make the place that the bomb is dropped uninhabitable and not only that people are polluting the world by littering and emitting gas and now mans greatest threat for survival is them selves.

ishmael

"I sometimes fly in my dreams, and each time i say to my self, At last-it's happening in reality and not a dream!"

What if every thing you have done was just a dream and then you woke up?

I think that the main character is in disbelief that his dream as a child is coming true and hes trying to find some one for reassurance but can't find anyone because he's not good at making friends.

Romanticism essay

Romanticism
Thin layers of clothing cover the child in the cold winter evening in the factory. He works hard making sure no cotton gets caught in the machine’s gears, his fingers grow numb from the hard work and the cold. He is motivated to feed his family and earn enough money to keep them warm from the cold nights. He is only eight year’s old working for no more than 50 cents an hour. Many people have been told that industries have good pay and that it’s the best way to go when it comes to making money but in reality some factories have children sign contracts that forced them work for a certain amount of time with very little pay. The novel Frankenstein is an example of the Romantic Movement’s hostile feelings toward industrialization.
Industrialization
The Industrial Revolution was a period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when changes in manufacturing, agriculture and transportation had changed Europe, North America and eventually the world. When the Industrial revolution came about factories started appearing and where there are factories there is work. Unfortunately most of this work was dishonest because the people that employed them took advantage of them by giving them very difficult work with very little pay along with an unsanitary work place. Children were among these workers because they had tiny fingers that could get into tiny machines but unfortunately children were taken advantage of and were like slaves. They would have contracts with the factories owners they would work for up to 10 years even their entire lives and would get barley enough for room and board. Furthermore Forest were chopped down to build houses make paper and wood had many other uses. This can also relate to Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein used non-living parts to make a living creature so it was a technological breakthrough but in the long term the monster killed all of his friends and family sort of like these factories they help in the short term but since they cut down trees eventually we might run out of trees and since trees make oxygen if they all get cut down then we won’t be able to breathe. So therefore many of the wild life lost their homes, a lifetime to build a moment to abolish.
Romantic Movement
The Romantic Movement was people who “didn’t believe” in the Industrialization of America and were the ‘hippies’ of the time. People have been disappointed because of the revolution had places to work men usually worked there and then women had to take the man’s job at home such as plowing the fields and paying bills. Most of the time factories had a place where the workers would sleep and eat so they rarely left the factories. While the Industrial Revolution meant that more goods could be produced for human consumption, it also meant that more pollution would be emitted into the sky and more natural resources would have to be exploited in the production process. (The Environment) Because factories polluted and made people’s lives miserable people tried revolting an example of this is the strikes. Strikes became important during the industrial revolution, when mass labor became important in factories. People in the factories would try and go on a strike and so they don’t work and try to motivate people to not work with them until the companies would pay a fair wage. Some strikes succeded by increasing pay and improving working conditions and lower working hours while others ended in a pink slip and the company just fires every one and hires new people. In most countries, they were quickly made illegal, as factory owners had far more political power than workers. Most western countries partially legalized striking in the late 19th or early 20th centuries. (Forces of labor) In the introduction of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein the book says that the Romantic Movement was a “rejection of the order, calm, and rationalism of the enlightenment in favor of innovation and emotional expression”. This was a time when people believed in human utopia but the reality of the events that happened to them made them pessimistic about human nature.
Frankenstein
In the book Frankenstein Dr Frankenstein creates a monster but its only monster in everyone else’s eyes but Dr Frankenstein gives him a heart of gold but since every one judges him on appearance every one thinks he’s a monster and treats him like one. He eventually goes and kills people that are close to his creator because he wants revenge. This can be related to when people would work really hard in factories and get paied very little and they sometimes even lose body parts to the cold and the hazards of the machines. The creation of Frankenstein’s monster ruined his life even though he thought it would be a great invention that would help bring dead people to life.
Conclusion
In conclusion people can work together to revolt against factories and their jobs even if they do it in different ways. The novel Frankenstein is an example of the Romantic Movement’s hostile feelings toward industrialization just like in the book people can work together like when they send search parties for Frankenstein’s creation they can also work together and strike against the companies. There was a strong belief that they could change their lives for the better by representing their ideas and working together.

Industrial Revolution

Photograph
This photo was based on the 18th century industrial revolution period. In the photo people are dancing and ignoring the smoke in the background pollution the world. Also in the front of the picture there are little kids working at very dangerous machines. In this time period children worked the big scary machines because they had small hands and could get into small spaces. Somewhere in the middle of the picture Frankenstein is representing a scientific breakthrough but even though its super advanced technology and everything they are still unaware that they are polluting the world.
In this photo some of the steps we took was we got cardboard and then wrapped them in aluminum foil to make them to look like machines. For the machine in the front we put colorful construction paper and cut them into circles to make buttons. And got toilet paper rolls to make the joystick.

How the industrial revolution is revolutionary and how it works.

refined question

Refined question
Before...
ref

What’s the point of a revolution if there will be another better revolution following? We’ve seen it happen several times “Hey guys we just came out with a video casset! Buy it now it’s the new popular thing you’re a nobody with out it!” … 2 years pass by “Quick throw out the old and in with the new buy a DvD player more compact than a casset and they are no longer in black in white buy now!” another few years later “Check out our new blue ray with super high def! You can see it like its real! Its better than the DvD” This happened in the early 1800’s with artificial rivers the government started to build them so they could travel by boat rather than by horse or walking but then only 40 years later the locomotive came to be and the money spent on artificial canals became useless.

After...
Did the industrial revolution have a lasting impact on today or was it quickly replaced by another revolution.

QQC #2

Quote
"Artificial rivers started becoming popular around the early 1800s such as James river and the Middlesex river. But railroads in the 1840s and 1850s provided cheaper and more flexible alternative than canals.'

Question
Why bother making something if just a couple of decades later something bigger and better comes along to replace the old thing.

Comment
The government spent so much money on artificial canals thinking it would be the new best method of travel but then the railroad came to be and all that money was wasted on canals. then in
1878 the car came and then all the money on the trains were put to waste.

I found this book in the library to be very helpful and it had the origin of the Indrustrial revolution. It also had a lot of inventions and the inventors of the inventions such as the steam boat was made by John Fitch and he had his own ferry service.

Good day fellow bloggers. I have been looking at the infotrack stuff and I've been having a hard time finding solid evidence i could use in my reasearch so i googled and found this web site(http://www.search.revolutionaryplayers.org.uk) to be very helpful with my findings. My revolution question was what made the industrial revolution such a big deal in that time period and what I found from this is the invention of steam power. An example of this steam power is the steam locomotive. I really hope this helps!

Eldest

I recently got finished reading eragon and im half way on eldest and this is the sequal to eragon which is a story who finds a dragon egg and meats a mentor and they go learnign about magic and what not and eventualy try to take down a tryant king that also has a dragon. The first book ends at the worst part like most movies right when eragon's friend murtag gets kidnapped and eragon dosnt know if murtag is alive or dead and right before he finds out the book ends! so your forced to buy the book to find out what happnes next. I would recommend this book to any one who likes a book that dosnt end quick and can understand what they read because it changes perspectives very often so its kinda confusing.
