For this year’s Capstone project, we made a video to explain/publicize our SDG issues. My problem is SDG10 inequalities. Inequalities included between of non-LGBT and LGBTQ+ populations. In this video, the story of Yeyongzhi is told. He was a high school student who was bullied to death because of his feminine characteristics. Please enjoy my video.
Since 2010, LGBT culture has exploded into the mainstream. So far, 28 countries or territories recognize same-sex marriage, 20 of which have enacted laws in the past decade. These movements have brought to light the discrimination and unequal treatment LGBTQ+ people have suffered over the years. In this article, answers will be given to how LGBTQ+ people suffer discrimination in different regions and how others can help to reduce the discrimination.
10 years of struggle, 17000 of death, from monarchy to republic, this is the French revolution. Juliette is a young women who experienced the revolution. She was a servant for the Royal family, everything was going smooth until one day, the revolution begin. The street of Paris is overwhelmed with fear. The King and his family were killed, she lost her job. She struggled through to find a place for she and her family. This is the journal of Juliette.

Thousands of death and multiple changes of ruler, was it worth it? i would say yes. The revolution changes everything. It helped the people who, like my character, cant even afford anything to even get a chance of having a better life. French changed from a monarchy country to Republic, giving their citizens more rights and freedom. From a macro perspective, this revolution changes not just french, but also rest of Europe. Under Napoleon’s lead, French become militarily powerful, and was able to spread the idea of republic to the nearby country. This lead to what we are now. Therefore, the revolution is worth it.
A brutal time in history, with thousands of death, this is the French revolution. In the video, we talk about five main events that happened during the revolution: the tennis court oath, the estate general, the declaration of rights of man and citizens, the reign of terror, and the rise of Napoleon. We will also be answering the big question: is it right to use violence to achieve one political goal?

Quiet Power by Susan Cain is a non-fiction book that illustrates the secret power of being introverted. The stories give us statistics and real stories to show us what introverts can do while being themself. It also talks about the challenge introvert and shy people would face, and give some advice to those who needed.
In the second lesson, we looked at expecting complexity, I give some examples of how introverts are being shamed of being who they are. I started some social issues that are shown in the text and possible themes on the first few pages.
As we read through the book, I soon noted that one of the central ideas author is trying to tell us is that: Introverts are often underestimated and misunderstood for their quiet, yet they have more power than they appear to be.
On the page below I give examples from this book of the author to prove her point.
As I read on, I notice that the author give example from her life experience. As an introvert herself, she has lots of experience of being shamed or humiliated as an introvert, the following notebook page shows one of the examples. It shows us the first time she felt bad to be quiet and forced to make changes to “fit in.” By this, she wants to tell us that because of the underestimated and misunderstood, introverts sometimes have to change themselves to fit what other people think is normal.
Then after finishing the book, I did some research on the dictionary definition of introvert, extrovert, and ambivert, and the author’s TED talk that she mentioned a lot in her book. I compare it to what she wrote in the book, how she felt nervous and anxious. Her speech shows a different perspective
Thank you for reading! Here is the link for the author’s ted talk:
In this video, I talk about the book “The Hate You Give” by Angie Thomas. I give a summary of this book, and I talk about the theme statement. And the reason why I recommend this book.
I am 80% renaissance humanist. This is because i agree with most of their point, but i am not as curious as they were, and didn’t question as much as they do. I also don’t agree with their religious view, i think that what we are currently experience is more important than what our religious bivalve told us, and focus on daily life instead of afterlife.
The found poem is created from the story “Lamb to the Slaughter” written by Roald Dahl. In the story, the main character Marry killed her husband because he wanted to leave her. The external conflict happens between marry and the rest of the world (person vs. society), she wants to cover up her murder, so she pretends everything was normal. For example, around paragraph 50, right after her murderer, she was trying to face a smile, and practice over and over, so that she didn’t seem suspicious. I include this part at the beginning to give clearer explanation of how she faced her conflict. I use word like “peculiar” smile from the text to describe more details of the Scenes. On the other hand, in the design of the page, I draw a pool of blood, and some blood on the title, it represents the blood that came from the corpse of the husband, and it match the horror theme of the story. Also, there is a leg of a lamb which is the murder weapon. At the end of the page, there is a shofar. It symbolizes that Mary’s getting away, escaping from the murder, it is a symbol of a scapegoat. At the very end, I ended the poem with an open ending. I purposely do that, so that it gives the reader a chance to imagine what will happens.

Percy Jackson is a boy who is special for several reasons. He suffers from dyslexia and ADHD, and this makes it hard to make a good impression to others. He is facing a lot of problem because of his issues, and it impacts all side of his life. His dyslexia make him impossible to read English and find school and teacher boring. So, he gets frustrated, he often says things that hurt others feeling. He clearly knows his issues and try his best to control it. However, there are some methods and strategies that could improve his life and makes things easier.
Percy’s attitude¬¬ towards school and bad learning habit is due to his ADHD. My grades slipped from Ds to Fs” (pg. 17) is an example of his less confidence in his ability to learn. He clearly knows about his ADHD, but he feels helpless, and very frustrated. ADHD often get him into trouble, he talks before thinking. “Will you shut up?’’(gp.5) is a reaction that is very inappropriate. But because Percy is unable to focus, he gets easily distract by anything. He feels annoyed and gets unable to control his emotions, this causes him to blurt out. This is also proved in “these symptoms include fidgeting; difficulty playing or wait for a turn and blurting out answers.” from the Newsela article. “Because you don’t want me around?” I regretted the word as soon as they were out (pg39). This tells us that Percy get easily annoyed. Also, he’s speech often affects other’s feeling. Even thought, he did not mean to. Witch often make Percy’s words hurting to the one he loved, and him often regrades after saying them.
Even though Percy Jackson Feel hopeless, frustrated, and that he thinks he cannot get better in his life, there are still some strategies that could improve the outcomes for the decisions he makes. “Grover tried to calm me down.” (pg3) this prove that Grover is supportive and helping friend, which is the kind of support Percy need to better deal with ADHD. According to the article, “The support affects by a carrying friends”. ‘he was the only teacher whose class didn’t put me to sleep” (pg.2) from this text we can know that Mr. Brunner always tried his best to support him, which makes Percy try his best in Mr. Brunner’s class. Even though his grades are not really good, Percy’s mom, too, is being the really supportive person in his life. “My mom is the nicest lady in the world.”, “My mother can make me feel good just by walking into the room.” These two texts from page 3 prove how supportive his mom is to him and how he responds with his love. She supports him by accepting his moods and bad temper. All the helping people can help Percy though his life. Their supportive comments to Percy make him want to do the right things and try his best to control his words.
In conclusion, Percy’s ADHD is a big reason of his bad behavior, although he tries his best to control them, the outcomes might not be good. In this case he needs the best supports from others. His ADHD, dyslexia makes him sometimes act unpleasant, but he be understood and respects.
