Quiet Power Note-taking

The book Quiet Power by Susan Cain is a book all about introverts. In this book the author tells many interesting things about introverts that you might not usually notice. It explains why introverts act in certain ways and how to overcome being so shy and quiet if you also tend to deal with those problems. Throughout the book, the author uses real-life experiences from many different people and explains many situations introverts might be struggling with, and how to handle them. Here, you can also listen to Susan Cain’s TED talk about introverts.

First and most important central idea: Although introverts may be shy and quiet, they also have many unique but hidden superpowers. Throughout the book, the biggest idea is about proving how introverts are also very unique and powerful. The author uses many examples and datas to support this big idea and this particular central idea shows up many times.

As I read the book, I realized another central idea is that two or three close friends mean more than a hundred acquaintances. The author kept mentioning some situations between friendships and mainly how close friends were much more important than being popular and/or having a bunch of acquaintances, so that is another important idea to have in mind.

After reading this book my thoughts changed towards introverts since I used to think that introverts were just quiet and not concentrated, but this book explained and proved that they are actually listening and focused, so I recommend this book because after reading it, you would understand introverts more and have a smaller chance of misunderstanding them or looking down on them.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of my blog post, have a great day!

Shimenshan Trip

The trip was fun and  a good experience because we learned a lot of new things and knew each other more. There were many activities during the two days and they were all enjoyable. The bamboo activities were fun and I also learned how to use a campus in the navigation training activity. The pasta made by our group tasted really good. Downtime was fun with my tent mates and it was fun although there wasn’t much to do in the tent. In the morning it was extremely cold. The breakfast and lunch were filling. The scavenger hunt on the second day was fun and my team got second place which was nice. The bathrooms were also okay but very stinky and I would choose not to go to them if I don’t need to.

‘Am I a Humanist?’


Humanist Beliefs by daisy

June T. VS. June M. Found Poem

This poem was made up of many words in the book, “Tuesday of the Other June by Norma Fox Mazer . I think the conflict in this story is external conflict because the conflict is mainly between character and character. In the story, June T. (the protagonist) goes to a swimming class and meets another girl also called June (June M., also the antagonist), and June M. does not like the fact that they share the same name, so she started bullying June T. June M. called June T. many names “The Other June got bored with calling me Fish Eyes. Buffalo Brain came next, but as soon as everyone knew that, she renamed me Turkey Nose.”, made fun of her ““Good riddance to bad trash,” she mocked.”, physically hurt her “In the locker room, she stepped on my feet, pinched my arms, hid my blouse, and knotted my braids together.”, and made her want to quit swimming class “I don’t want to take more lessons.”. But, June T. did not really stand up for herself and all she did was try to avoid trouble, so she got bullied by June M. continuously. At the end of the story, June T. stood up for herself and said “No” to June M. and stopped the act of bullying.
