Narcissus and Echo image

The man in this image shows Narcissus from the myth. In the picture, Narcissus is looking at him self in the water and he cannot look away, just like in the myth where it says  "His eys fixed on the mirrored image never may know their longings satisfied, and by their sight he is himself undone" (paragraph 435). By not taking his eyes away from the mirrored image of himself, I can infer that this is Narcissus because he is in love with himself and doesnt want to lose the image.

Record Sales For iPhone 5

    In  our  world  today,  almost  everyone  relies  on  technology  in  one  way  or    another.  There  is  one  thing  most  people  look  forward  to  every  year  and  that’s the  iPhone  5.  Therefore  you  may  expect  there  to  be  a  large  group  of  people  that  our  going  to  buy  the  iPhone  5. We  spend  a  lot  of  money  on  electronic devices,  especially  when  its  new  everybody  “has  to have  it”.  A  new  iPhone  is released  every  year,  this  year,  the  iPhone  5.  The  iPhone  5  had  2  million  pre-orders  within  24  hours,  That  just  pretty  much  proves  when  we  want  something we  will  get  it. AT&T  declared  it  the  fastest-selling  iPhone  to  date. What  that means  to  me  is  when  years  go  on  technology  sells  go  up  because  they’re  more advanced.

   America  has  developed  over  time,  think  about  it  before  the  1990s  we  didn’t have  all  of  this  advanced  technology. We  couldn’t  just  call  someone  anytime  we wanted  because  we  wanted  to  tell  them  something. We  couldn’t  text  people  just to  say  hey. Back then, People  wrote  letters  to  each  other, everyone  was  more social. In  our  society  today  we  may  even  text  a  person  in  the  same  house  as  us. In  my  opinion, Technology  will  take  over  us. Americans  jobs  will be  taken  over  by machines  and  other  technology. When  we  think  about  it  all  we  want  is  the  new stuff, once  something  comes  out  we  want  it  because  its  new  and  everybody will have  it  so  they  don’t  want  to  feel  left  out.

  I  am  someone  who  is  into  technology, I  love  it. However  I’ve  never  owned  an iPhone  and  I  most  likely  will  never  get  one. I  have  a  simple  phone  that  I  can call and  text  people  from.  I  do  think  its  really  cool  to  read  and  see  what   it  does  but  I’m  not  in  to  it. Most of my friends get the new iPhone every year and they really like it. So, does this record sell mean that as time gos on we advance with the technology or does technology leave us behind?

Dear Mrs. Pickett, I typed this in word so the it kind of looks like the words are out of place, but they're all in order i don't know how to fix it, sorry.

Eli's English 10 Bucketlist 2012 4A

HELP I'm Trapped in Obedience School: This book is interesting and i heard it was funny. I like animal books especially when human turn into dogs. Its about 100 pages and that is about what i like. The author is a good author his name is Todd Strasser. I like books with dogs in it.

The Hunger Games: I want to read the Hunger Games because i saw the movie with some of my friends and i thought i wouldnt like it but it was really good and id like to read the book so i can read more about it, since books tell more then the movie. I also like the author Suzanne Collins.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire:This book follows the first Hunger Games so i want to read it. I like book series and The Hunger Games is interesting and cool I heard Catching Fire was the best book in the trilogy. All of my friends have read it so i dont want to be left out.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: This book is the third in the Hunger Games and it follows Catching Fire it is also the final book in the series so if i read the first two it only makes since to read this one. Also has my favorite author, Suzanne Collins.

The Cat in The Hat: It is written by the best author ever, Dr Seuss. It is probably one of the most known books by Dr. Seuss and it was even a movie i've never read the book but i watched the movie and it was funny. I'd like to read it, it'd be awesome.

Every Day:This book was written by David Levithan. David is a good author i read a book by him called Are We There Yet? It was good and this one seems good. It is in top books for teens monthly so i decided to look at it and it sounds interesting.

The Kill Order: This book is a Prequel to Maze Runner. Part of the reason i'd like to read this book is because i've heard of the author, James Dashner. He is also the author of The Maze Runner and i want to read that series so i felt like i needed to read the prequel.

The Maze Runner: This book is #1 in The Maze Runner series after reading The Kill Order i am going to read this series because it seems like a good book. It is Science Fiction and i like those kinds of books. It is also in the top books of 2011 for teens.

The Maze Runner #2: The Scorch Trials: This is book #2 in The Maze Runner and i want to read it because it follows up The Maze Runner #1 and of course i want to know whats happening in the book. My friend Bob read this series and told me i should check it out.


The Maze Runner #3: The Death Cure: This is the final book in The Maze Runner and i cant wait to read it because its the ending of a great series and im sure it will be great.
