Dogs are all different and some people do not give them a chance to show just how happy and lovable they are. This happens with people too,others judge them before they even get a chance to show who they really are.

While I have been staying away from others, I have turned to shopping online to keep my mind occupied. I have not bought anything yet because I am demonstrating "Managing Impulsivity." I have fought back the impulsive wants to buy everything I am seeing that I want. This is a habit I will have to continue to demonstrate while I continue to stay home away from others. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 08:21:01 -0500 Traditional Setting https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2298340 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2298340 In this sentence, it talks about a traditional setting in school. It is hard to imagine what this traditional setting would look like because we have gone so long now with seeing people through a screen or classrooms being empty. I would love to see a traditional setting again where everyone is together and not just through a screen but I do not know if this will happen before I graduate. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 10:49:56 -0500 Rumors https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292236 Rumors can be a very evil thing and hurt a lot of people's feelings. I have always wondered why people start rumors about others. Most of the time the rumors are not even true and serve no purpose. I wish people would find something better to do than start rumors about others. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:06:54 -0500 Connection https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292228 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292228 I made a connection between this poem and the poem "Off-Island CHamorus" by Craig Santos-Perez. The two poems both mention their ancestors and the fights/war they are in. These two poems both go to show what one goes through in their life and how it is not always easy. https://www.loc.gov/item/2020785208/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:01:06 -0500 True Happiness https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284825 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284825 In this sentence it talks about experiencing true happiness. How does one know when they are actually experiencing true happiness? I feel as though there is always an obstacle in our way to prevent us from feelings this. With it seeming like there is always an obstacle in our way to prevent this, will one know when they get over that obstacle and are actually experiencing it? Fri, 22 Jan 2021 14:04:35 -0500 Beliefs and Opinions https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284821 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284821 When it talks about choosing to keep or discard out beliefs and opinions it begs a question. How do we know what truly needs to be discarded or kept? I feel as though this is something many people will struggle with because one minute it may seem like something you need while at other times it seems like it is something you can live without. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:55:32 -0500 "truth" https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284819 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284819 In today's society, information moves around a lot more quickly than it should in my opinion. I feel as though it is always the bad information or the information looking badly toward one person is what goes around the quickest. People care more about getting the hateful things out rather than the information that makes someone look good or shows all their hard work they are doing. The "truth" is something that also seems to get twisted a lot. People like to twist the "truth" into making people see or believe what they want them to. People need to start looking for the good in people and telling the actual truth. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:55:32 -0500 Disturbances https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284816 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284816 I never thought disturbance would be referred to as a friend and I think this is a concept many of us would have a hard time grasping. I think of people or my dog as being my friend but not disturbance. I think going out of our comfort zone and being disturbed can be a good thing but I know other people would not agree. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:55:32 -0500 Confusion https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284811 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284811 I know I am someone who hates being confused about something and try everything possible to become not confused. I am having a hard time grasping the thought that by being confused it can cause us to be creative. I feel as though being confused can lead us to doing the wrong things. I do not think the wrong things is what would be considered "creative" in this situation. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:55:32 -0500 Listening https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284795 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284795 I would like to consider myself someone who listens to others and actually gets something out of the conversation. However, I know this is not the case for many people sadly. When some people listen to others it can make them angry or sad and they want to retaliate by saying hateful things. I feel as thought listening to others does not always bring us closer especially when it is about different points of views about a topic. I wish everyone would get over the fact that everyone is not going to agree with them and they would just listen and have a civil conversation. The world would be a much better of a place if more people did this. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:55:32 -0500 Working Together https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284785 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284785 When I hear we can only accomplish changing the world by working and thinking together it saddens me. In today's society, we are very divided just because someone thinks differently than them. I cannot imagine a world where everyone comes together for a better future and world all together. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 14:32:36 -0500 Not Knowing https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284782 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2284782 When we talk about not knowing something, many people are not willing to admit they do not know something. I feel society has put this feeling out that if we do not know something we are "dumb" and do not know anything. This is not true because not knowing can lead to us discovering more information from us trying to know the answer. People need to get rid of the idea that just because we do not know something means we are "dumb." Fri, 22 Jan 2021 17:58:17 -0500 Evil https://nowcomment.com/documents/250105?scroll_to=2281672 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250105?scroll_to=2281672 As if the boys did not go through enough with the fighting, the gentlemen thought it would be a great idea to put their earnings on an electric rug. I do not understand how people find it entertaining to watch others get hurt when in reality they are just trying to survive. Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:54:52 -0500 Fighting https://nowcomment.com/documents/250105?scroll_to=2281655 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250105?scroll_to=2281655 In today's society, I do not think any of us could imagine a place where many boys would get together and fight each other for others entertainment. I especially could not imagine fighting a bunch of my "schoolmates" either. This goes to show how much society has changed but it still has a lot of changing to do. Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:47:46 -0500 Ted Talks https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2191282 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2191282 In Ted Talks we have watched in the past, people talk about how others view them differently because of their disability. People with disabilities are looked at differently just because they do something or act a certain way that is not "normal" to everyone else. It is sad people do this, people just need to learn to move on with their life and not just sit their and judge people. Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:14:38 -0500 "Born in a Barn" https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2191192 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2191192 I have heard the phrase "born in a barn" numerous times from my grandma and mom. My sister and I both leave the door open on occasion and our mom or grandma make sure to let us know what we did. I feel as though this could become a CLASS theme. It is something that is a recurring thing and could lead to a potential CLASS theme. Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:00:20 -0500 Good thought https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190786 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190786 People with disabilities are often not given the chance to speak and it is very sad. If people would just take a moment to listen it would make the person with the disability more comfortable to speak. I also feel most people do not do this on purpose but it happens a lot more than it should. Mon, 09 Nov 2020 20:01:15 -0500 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190756 The beginning of the film is important because it is where the audience gets a since of what the film is really about. It is important we got to see what life was like for Jack before we deeper into his life and what all is going on. Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:54:46 -0500 Introduction https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190755 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2190755 The longer introduction at the beginning of the film allows for the audience to get a better understanding of the characters they are about to watch. The audience is allowed to see how the characters act and see some of their personalities come through before the film begins. Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:50:06 -0500 Maddy, https://nowcomment.com/documents/238201?scroll_to=2175003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238201?scroll_to=2175003 I would agree with you completely.The title is a metaphor for what depression really feels like for some people. People have a "rainstorm" going on in their head that can be hard to get through and overcome.
