Third Quarter Goals Reflection
One of my goals for third quarter was to achieve a 3.5 GPA. As of right now I am on the path of getting around a 3.8 GPA which is achieving higher than what I was aiming for. Another goal of mine was to play basketball. I am currently playing basketball and not only am I on the time but I am a starter which I never would of expected. These past couple months have been very great for me and I have had opportunities come to me that I never thought I would have a chance of obtaining. But thanks for some luck, which in my definition is when hard work meets opportunity, I am able to have a happy and fun couple of months as of late.

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph
In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character snowball represents disloyalty. For example, in the beginning of the story he was doing his all to help out the other farm animals. Then all of a sudden he was not getting much attention so he decided to turn his back on the farm animals. He left and never came back. In addition he gave very good incite to help himself and the other animals at first but he was still not shown the recognition he thought he deserved so he bailed out on the rest of his so called "friends". In my opinion and I'm sure many others too, if you are an unloyal friend, you will never be respected until you gain it back after that. This is a close up on the character Snowball.

Animal Farm to the Real World
One form of allegory that occured in the story "Animal Farm" is when the pig snowball turned his back on the rest of the animals and gave information to the people trying to keep the animals freedom from ever portaining or reaching them. This happens on many different ocassions in the real world. For example, some people who fight war for one country could end up being spies for another country and tell the country they were spying for all the information about its enemy just like snowball did in the story. Another example is a friend who you thought you could trust and you happened to tell them something bad about another person and then your friend goes and tells that person exactly what you said about him. That is exactly what happened in the story. Many stories contain allegory but this story in general happened to exceed the number of allegories themselves than many other stories. This is one example of allegory from this story.
“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA
If we had a revolution here at San Pasqual Academy kids would have much more freedom and be much more independent. Kids would make their own rules and get rid of staff so that they can do the things they would like to do. Their would be more people in sports because some kids do not join because they do not like the coach or do not play for similar reasons. But then again grades would probably get worse but thats the only turn for the worse out of everything. All of our classes would have more technology just like Ms. Priesters class and it would improve the learning of all students campus wide.
