Modern Mythology 2022

Literacy and Learning:

Write about your thoughts regarding any of the fiction or non-fiction covered in class?

I enjoyed reading the Norse Mythology story's and it was very interesting how different character are portrayed in each story such as Oden in the mead of poets giving knowledge to the gods while he himself is supposed to be the leader of the gods, and how Thor in the land of the giants is supposed to be seen as this all mighty god with his hammer is humbled by the giants and he couldn't really do anything to them. I found these ways of portraying these character very interesting and it added a lot to Norse Mythology for me.

Reflect on any new information you have learned in English class by considering how that learning influences your critical perception?

When I was reading the Mead of Poets and found out that Kvass was actually named after Kvasir it opened to even more just how much everywhere is influenced by Mythology another example being how the Greeks changed Zeus's story to fit their time because later the Greeks were going through hard time.  and they needed a god to just do good things rather be super-lustful like he had in the past. This had influenced my Critical perception of tradition and that everything we have now was always influenced from the past such as cars still working the same way they did 100 years ago and the Drink Kvass still being the same after thousands of years.

How is what you’re learning applied to any other classes/the world around you?

Yes when we were learning about the bible and talking about Revelations and the book of Job it would apply to US Gov and Politics and Christianity influences American Politics a lot how the Republican party is more conservative and wants to keep with religion and everybody be a Christians and how everything happens for a reason. While the Democratic party is more Progressive and less about everyone being Christians.

 Kenneth Roman  Period 8  10/29/21 Modern Mythology 2022 Socio-political Consciousness What are your thoughts and feelings about issues of inequity, oppression, and/or power? When I think of Issues of Inequity, oppression and power, I think of racism, Hilter, and the American Civil War. I think of Racism because it has to do with Oppression, Oppression of the Slaves brought here from Africa against their will and also has to do with how they were treated both during and after the Civil war. African Americans were basically used as cannon fodder by the north and if they were free black men up north they were treated like second-class citizens not being able to vote and not being able to provide for themselves. Hilter also Oppressed a people, he oppressed the Jews blaming them for the treaty of Versailles and he exterminated them from the world by burning them alive and having gas showers to get rid of them. These Three Things all are Oppression, Power and inequity and they are horrible

Kenneth Roman  Period 8  10/29/21 Modern Mythology 2022 Goal Setting & Growth: At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why? At this point in time, a goal I have set for myself is that I want to just be able to finish all my college applications for myself and also I want to actually get accepted into those colleges.  Have these goals for myself because I want to be able to do a job that I actually find fun interesting. The Major I want to do in a College is Aerospace Engineering because I get to design rockets and equipment that goes into space and I want to be able to be a part of that. Another short-term goal I have is to just finish this week off and be able to go to bed on Saturday without having to worry about anything. I have this goal because it shouldn’t be a very hard goal to get to and having easy goals in life lets you live a little lighter rather than having everything weighing down on you at once. How do you demonstrate resilience
