Today I’ll be presenting the topic of patents, and how overall patents are necessary for innovation. Patents are part of 3 intellectual properties, copyright, trademark, and patents. Patents apply to getting rights for your inventions, copyright for original works, and trademarks for certain properties. This essay will focus on patents, and how it affects SDG#8, industrial innovation.
My story starts with the character, Paddy Trevor. Paddy is a young caucasian male, born in 1757, and is just 18 when the revolution begins, but 30 at the end of this story. He starts the story, young and naive, thoughts filling his mind about making a better nation, and eagerly joins the revolution. But by the end of the story, he is older and mature, and has a destain and trust for his country after this story events, but will, you’ll just have to keep reading…
The American revolution will be forever known, as one of the most consequential revolutions, leading to the creation of America, which to this day, is still one of the world’s global superpowers. The success of this revolution is contributed to hose little was cost for it to succeed, and how impactful it was. Firstly, unlike many other revolutions such as the french revolution, the American Revolution was won after very little bloodshed and chaos. Only over 6,000 people had actually died in the revolution, a starch contrast to revolutions such as the french, which had caused over 27,000 deaths. Not only this, however, but what was to follow, was America’s growth, to become a global superpower, in just 244 years to today. America’s story is also widely known for encouraging immigrants, standing as a shining beacon of opportunity, and a place where anyone could rise up. Although I am in no way being ignorant of many of its nation’s bloody history, such as the Trail of Tears, or the institution of slavery, it is still undeniable how incredible it is to watch America grow to be a shining beacon of opportunity, and a global superpower, starting with the American Revolution.
“The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed for them.”
-Patrick Henry
There are very few wars that are to be thought of as influential, and successful, as the American revolution. This is the story of how America could manage to grow to be one of, if not the global superpower in the world. The story of America starts here, with the American revolution. This video focuses on the first chapter, of the story of America, the American revolution. It details how America went from just an insignificant colony to a global superpower between taxation, freedom of independence, and battles that would forever change the world.

The story I am presenting today, is “Ten Days a Madwoman”, a story written by Deborah Noyes, with themes and ideas regarding society’s treatment of the mentally ill, the significance of pursuing and following your dreams, and the disadvantages woman often face in society.
“Ten Days a Madwoman”, starts in 1887, as the story follows Elizabeth Jane Cochran, also known as Nellie Bly, an aspiring female reporter, who has taken to New York City in search of a job opportunity as a reporter. However, Nellie will be quick to find out how all the major journalist companies refuse to hire women, leaving her dejected. Downcast, her only opportunity to become a reporter is to land a scoop in an insane asylum,. This story follows Nellie Bly’s life, the rest of the adventures she faces, and the struggle she endures. Join Nellie on her tale of pursuing one’s dreams, fighting against misogyny, and the injustices faced by the mentally ill.
One of the early central ideas I identified, was the importance of pursuing your dreams, and passion. It is shown through Nellie Bly, as her journey to become a female reporter. The following is a page of evidence I have found and my analysis of it. 
The next document is to regarding the next central idea I have found, which is, societies treatment for the mentally ill. This was primarily focused on in “Ten Days a Madwoman”, with Nellie’s time spent in the insane asylum, the experiences she has faced, and the mentally ill who suffered. The following is my evidence and thoughts on this central idea.
The final document is my final central idea, which is how women often are faced with discrimination. This is explored throughout the story, such as Nellie facing misogyny, as to how she is originally denied as a reporter based on gender. The following is a page on my thoughts and evidence to this central idea.
In conclusion, “Ten Days a Madwoman” is an engrossing story about a female reporter, pursuing her dreams, with themes of sexism, treatment of the mentally ill, and pursuit of your dreams. I would highly recommend to everyone, not just as a documentary for the life and success of Nellie Bly, but as a way to learn more about American history, and how anyone can make a difference in the world. 9/10, would recommend.
The following directs to a link regrading a book talk to my thoughts and opinions on the book “Dear Martin”, that deals with themes of privilege, entitlement, and discrimination.
The story I have chosen is from Lamb to the slaughter, written by Roald Dahl in 1953. So the conflict in the story is an external conflict between Mary ( the protagonist ) and her conflict is external and between her and her husband ( The first antagonist ), who divorces Mary, resulting in Mary killing her husband. The other conflict is the conflict of Mary fighting the police, ( the next antagonist ) and if she can get away with the murder of her husband. So, the conflict is external because Mary doesn’t have any internal conflict on what she does, and the whole story is her journey of fighting her world. Also, I believe the theme is not judging a book by its cover, since everyone suspects Mary to be an ordinary pregnant housewife only staying in the house and serving her husband ( the status quo at the time ) but Mary secretly is a psychopath. I also chose a photo of a drawing of Mary looking creepily with a leg of lamb with hollow eyes and cracking skin because I thought it would go with the words tired darling empty inside, to express how people see Mary as just a suburban, submissive housewife, but inside shes kinda a psychopath. The words also go with Patrick who is kind of empty inside since he feels no passion or love for Mary. I also thought that the photo would show how Mary is just seen by the police as an ordinary housewife when they don’t suspect her at all except a few parts to be the murder. This is since they don’t expect a woman to be able to kill a man with brute force. For example, when they talk to Mary about the murder weapon, they say “It’s the old story,” he said. “Get the weapon, and you’ve got the man.” showing how they don’t expect the murder to be Mary, a woman, but they shouldn’t see Mary as a stereotype, but the person she is.

One thing I did well in my Argumentative essay was including strong points. I bileave I explained my points so that the reader could understand my thoughts. However, I tried to add in as much as possible to my essay, which caused a lot of misspelled words, and grammar issues which I didn’t have enough time to edit. Along with my points, I think I supported them with lots of evidence from a trustworthy source. But still, I did not follow the essay model. For instance, i did not restate my argument when I was supposed to. Overall I think my essay was good, but sill a little rushed, and still with lots of area to improve next time.
Percy Jackson has ADHD, and due to this, his symptoms of ADHD alter his behavior to school and the choices that he makes. There are multiple examples of this which are shown in the book. However, there are ways for Percy to be able to control his attitude and choices like being in a stimulating environment and focusing more on things that entrest him.
Percy’s frustration and anger directed to school have all have been rooted in his resentment toward ADHD and dyslexia. Due to ADHD and dyslexia, Percy has given up on trying for school because of his disabilities. A clear example of this is on page 17 of Percy Jackson and the lightning thief, “Finally when our English teacher Mr. Nicoll asked me for the millionth time why I was too lazy to study for the spelling tests, I snapped. I called him an old sot.” This demonstrates Percy’s frustration with how he isn’t learning at school, however, Percy’s inability to focus on his study is a symptom of ADHD. According to the article Neurodiversity: A different view of ADHD, “The symptoms include often losing items, not paying attention to details or making careless mistakes in school and not listening most of the time.” However, Percy’s attitude to school is not the only thing that ADHD is having an impact on. Percy’s school studies and grades are also being affected by ADHD which is shown once again in the book Percy Jackosn on page 17, “My grades slipped from Ds to Fs.” Ounce moreover, this is ADHD interfering with Percy’s grades because this is just another symptom of ADHD. In the article again, “Avoiding activities that require focus are also symptoms.” Overall, this represents that ADHD has a huge influence on both Percy’s attitude to school, and Percys studies itself. However, the center of both Percy’s problems is his irritation at how he can’t tolerate many of his subjects for being boring, and complex. This problem could all be solved if he took more subjects that interested him, or if his subjects connected to things that interest him. This statement is backed up with evidence from the article again, when it says, “They might be very focused when something interests them.” This could help Percy exceptionally so that Percy would focus more on his work. This indeed appears from the book, “so he was the only teacher that didn’t put me to sleep.” in closing, to help Percy’s frustration with the inability to focus, Percy could take more classes that interest him, or have is classes connect with something that interests him to not only improve his attitude to school but his school grades in general.
Percy’s attitude to school however is not the only thing how Percy is being affected by ADHD. Percy’s day to day choices also is being impacted by ADHD. This is shown in the form of another symptom of ADHD, fidgeting. On page 2 in Percy Jackson the book, “ I sort of hit the wrong lever on the catwalk, and our class took an unplanned swim.” This choice was affected by ADHD and fidgeting. In the article once more, “These symptoms also include fidgeting, difficulty playing quietly or waiting for a turn and blurting out answers I class.” But this isn’t the only symptom of ADHD that is affecting Percy, the other being how he often acts before thinking like blurting. On page 5 of Percy Jackson, Percy blurts out “will you shut up?” during a trip. That’s also another symptom of ADHD. According to the article, “and blurting out answers in class.” Overall All these features of ADHD have a big impact on Percy’s decisions, But Percy could prevent these symptoms from happening too often with an easy solution, going outside to play sports or taking a break. As stated in the article, “People with ADHD also do their best in a stimulating environment. They like to be outdoors and move their bodies.” This is shown in Percy Jackson the book again in the form of Mr.Brunner, “I mean, sure, it was kind of cool on tournament days, when he dressed up in a suit of Roman armor and shouted, ‘What ho!’ and challenged us sword-point against chalk to the board and name ever greek and roman person who had ever lived,” So Percy shouldn’t let ADHD take control of his choices and use these simple tricks to help him control himself more.
In conclusion, with ADHD, Percy would have trouble with both maintaining his attitude towards school and his choices. But by being in a stimulating environment and focusing on things that entrest him, Percy Jackson should be able to not let symptoms of ADHD affect him.
