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.

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.
