Although I am not an expert at video editing, I am proud of what I’ve accomplished, and I love my topic and I think I did a good job. I made a video to raise awareness to manatees and their endangerment, in hopes that more people will help to rehabilitate, and save them from extinction.

I’m the son of minute man, loyal patriot. Big brother to Lionel, with whom I share the loss of a mother from a young age. I am a boy determined to make a difference, determined to change the world in whatever way I can. Recently I decided this journal would be where I wrote about what happened, so people and history could know my point of view. They call me Philip Floyd, and I call this the story of my life.
What Changed?
Lots changed in the USA after the US Revolution. There was now a president instead of a king, and later on women were allowed to run for president. We traded King George III for President George Washington. The leader no longer ruled nor was in charge of the church; there was now freedom of religion. The life you were born into was no longer your destiny. As well as a lot more.
What Stayed the Same?
The nonfiction novel, Fatal Fever, by Gail Jarrow, tells the story of Typhoid Mary, who she was, and how the Health Department got her under control. Mary Mallon was a cook in the early 1900s, in New York. The plot is introduced with an outbreak of typhoid at Cornell University, the city of Ithaca hires a “germ detective” George Soper, to investigate and to help the city become a cleaner, more habitable place. Soper discovers a trend in random typhoid cases popping up around the state, and the one thing they all have in common is Mary Mallon. The health department decided on one thing, Mallon is too dangerous to cook food for others.
Bellow I have some of my neatest notes, these notes are from our 2nd lesson. These are my notes of an idea I had about typhoid killing so many young people, and how I can also interpret that as the city needing desperate new sanitation improvements.
These are my notes from lesson 3, bellow there is a central idea that I had on how the cities back then were incredibly dirty and had horrible conditions. Following that point I have the supporting information from the book.
These are my notes from lesson 6, bellow I have how
According to the infographic, I am ~80% a humanist. I decided to turn the five categories into a total of ten instead of five for each category, and so I split each belief into two, it was one point (1/2) if I kind of agreed, and two points (2/2) if I totally agreed. For example, I completely agreed with social status, so I was 2/10 a humanist so far, but I only somewhat agreed with life control, so then I was 3/10 a humanist. I believe it is good sometimes to go with the flow if you agree with the flow, as well as going with the flow sometimes because it is good every once in a while instead of never at all. Over all I became roughly 8/10 a humanist so I converted that into ~80%, so I am ~80% a humanist.

In W.D. Wetherell’s “The Bass, The River and Sheila Mant” on pages 4-5, The internal conflict – character vs. self – happens when the protagonist is forced to make a tough decision between catching the bass of his life or looking cool in the eyes of Sheila Mant. The conflict is resolved when he – the protagonist – chooses to cut the fishing line and release the bass. The protagonist has regretted his decision ever since.
