A revolution not really worth attempting (Change+Continuity):
The French Revolution is often talked about for its ideas of freedom, fairness, and togetherness. But in the end, it seemed like France just went in circles. Even though it kicked out the king and started new ideas, it ended up with another powerful leader. Instead of fairness, there was fighting and chaos, and Napoleon took charge as emperor in 1804. France went from having a king to trying out a republic, then going back to having a king again. It’s like, the more things changed, the more they stayed the same. The Revolution started with big hopes, but in the end, it felt like nothing really changed. There were good things, like getting rid of the king, giving people rights, and making education better. But there were bad things too, like the Reign of Terror, Napoleon being bossy, and money problems. Even with all the struggles, some things stayed the same, like rich people being in charge, unfairness still being around, and people feeling like they belonged to France. So, the Revolution left behind a mix of good and bad, with some things never really changing.
Bonjour les citoyens !Bienvenue de la Révolution française.
France, like many countries in the 1700s, was under a monarchy. King Louis XVI held absolute power. Society was divided into three estates: the first with the most influence, followed by the second, and the third, which comprised the majority of the population. It was a hierarchical system.
However, France was facing financial collapse. Louis XVI sought more money from the Estates-General, an assembly representing the three estates. The third estate, burdened with taxes, refused the king’s proposal. They formed their own National Assembly at the tennis court, known as the Tennis Court Oath, demanding a fairer distribution of power and rights. The other estates eventually joined them.
In 1788, poor harvests led to inflation, and the common people decided to rebel against their unfair treatment. The summer of that year saw widespread chaos and uprisings. On August 4th, the estates were abolished, emphasizing the call for equality. A march ensued, compelling the king and his family to leave their palace in Versailles for Paris, preventing any potential rebellion.
In 1791, the royal family attempted to flee to Austria but was captured. Austria threatened France, leading to France declaring war first. Louis XVI was eventually executed for treason, symbolizing the end of the monarchy.
The Reign of Terror followed, led by Maximilien Robespierre. Accusations ran rampant, and even minor offenses were punishable by death. This period highlighted the darker side of revolution, illustrating how power in the wrong hands can lead to chaos and injustice.
On July 28, 1794, Robespierre himself faced the guillotine, marking the end of the Reign of Terror. The Year III Constitution established the Directory of France, a new governing body. Napoleon Bonaparte emerged as a prominent figure, leading France to victories in Italy from 1796 to 1797. His rise ultimately led to his crowning as Emperor in 1804, shaping European politics for years to come.
“Google It,” authored by Anna Crowley Redding, unfolds a comprehensive history and evolution of Google. Narrated through the lens of two college students, Larry and Sergey, initially working on a university assignment, the book traces their journey as they transform a simple homework project into one of the world’s most influential and powerful companies, overcoming challenges along the way.
CENTRAL IDEA / THEME
The central idea of this book: “Google It” delves into the history of Google, highlighting significant advancements and tactical choices that helped the company grow from a garage-based startup to a multinational technology behemoth. In the book, the obstacles, discoveries, and pivotal events that molded Google’s corporate culture, technological developments, and influence on how we access and manage information in the digital age are all covered.
“Google It” delves into the idea that constant innovation, dedication to user-centric design, and a readiness to pick up lessons from mistakes are vital life lessons that not only drove Google’s success but also provide us with useful guidelines for negotiating opportunities and challenges in our own lives.
That’s what I have discovered from the book , it tell us to pick up lessons from failure and to not give up while you are at the downside of your life. In our own life, we can learn from Larry and Sergey that desire of not giving up, making a wiser choose for your life.
If you want to be a entrepreneur I recommend you to read this book, and it better helps you to learn about leadership control of a company and the concepts of user centric-design.

As I started reading this book, I noticed that all of the effects that Google has today were the result of important factors that shaped the company’s development. A major issue that Larry and Sergey discovered was that it was too difficult to obtain and find information at the time.neither on a poorly designed search engine with a ton of advertisements and inaccurate search results.Alternatively, your information might be in a book, on a book shelf, or elsewhere in a library.Thus, Larry and Sergey discovered a method for downloading all of the web data and building a sizable, highly accurate search engine on their own.
So “Backrub” was created as an effect, and that as a cause, their search engine is becoming well known in their school…..
Theme: Problem-Solving in Real Life
In our own lives, the theme of problem-solving is evident as we encounter challenges and inefficiencies. Much like Larry and Sergey identified a significant problem in accessing accurate information, we often face obstacles or deficiencies that hinder our progress or satisfaction. The realization of a problem prompts us to seek solutions and improvements.
Just as Larry and Sergey observed the difficulty in accessing information through inefficient search methods, we too may find ourselves grappling with inadequacies in various aspects of our lives, be it personal, professional, or educational. The initial step lies in recognizing these issues and acknowledging the need for change.

As I read the book, I noticed that there are sections that alternate between narrative and informational sections all the time.Additionally, I tracked the book’s complexity. High quality pictures in powerpoint:
I was astounded by the number of projects Google was working on, like the Google-X project, which aims to improve people’s lives, as I turned the final few pages of “Google It”.And all the expansion projects like Google deepmind that created the Gemini AI nowdays, and Google, earth, map. reading. shopping, translate, Adsense, Alphabet…….And some partnership with Youtube and it’s own industrial chain for phones and technologies.

In this multimedia found poem, we dive into the intricate conflicts present within Langston Hughes‘ short story “Thank You, Ma’am.” The central characters in this narrative are Roger, the protagonist, and Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, who can be seen as both a secondary antagonist and a guiding force. The story features two types of conflict: external and internal. The external conflict happens in the opening pages (pg1,2) as Roger, driven by his challenging circumstances, attempts to snatch Mrs. Jones’s purse. Their physical confrontation is portrayed in lines such as “A boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse,” and “The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter.” Meanwhile, the internal conflict takes center stage in the climax of the story. Spanning pages 3, 4, and 5, Roger grapples with his emotions and inner dilemma, torn between fleeing to escape consequences or staying to honor the trust Mrs. Jones has extended to him. Phrases like “he looked at the door,” “looked at the woman,” and “he could run, run, run” capture this internal conflict. The multimedia poem’s visual representation effectively mirrors these conflicts. The top section of the poem captures the external conflict, illustrating the moment when Roger tries to steal the purse. Meanwhile, the lower section vividly portrays the internal conflict, with an open door symbolizing the inclination to escape and an extended hand symbolizing the choice to remain and honor Mrs. Jones’s trust. Through this multimedia-found poem, we illuminate the dual conflicts within “Thank You, Ma’am,” highlighting the protagonist, the secondary antagonist, and providing a clear elucidation of the external and internal conflicts using illustrative examples from the text.
When we first started to make the prototype, it was an online class. I first began to think of a phone holder. But then our teacher gave us more choices like a lamp or a pencil case. So later I decided to make a lamp for myself a phone Holder which is useless for me. First I started with some weird drawings that comes from tracing pictures and some unregular shapes.
Then after I learned some new skills within fusion, I changed or filled my four pictures and traced lines. And also, the squares are equal.
Just in the time after winter break, my fusion file was gone, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. It was a big problem, but good news. I can start making some new shapes that will look better later. (Genshin stuff)
Then I just got the idea of making a lamp with elements surrounding around. So I took pictures of the few elements and traced them. I uploaded it to Lightburn and had my first try of the lamp. Although it was looking well on a few sides and the right side got burned by the laser cutter.
Last, my project looks like this, I liked it.It worked and it’s useful for me by making a project for myself.
At first part about our design , we thought about what problems that are having with some food that we can design some new utensil or ideas .So we thought about some “unique” ideas , like different gloves for eating and automatic grabbers .Or meat eaters with automatic knife and forks combined together to eat steaks .And the most great design we thought about was some filter stuff but that doesn’t make that much sense .Examples like bubble tea filter straws knife sticks .
Feedback and refined:
We received feedback from our classmates that it was helpful, and we discussed and made our design better. We added more words to explain our design and labels show what that is, and we thought about more things that are less dangerous like friction chopsticks or the Bluetooth stone thingy, and more similar stuffs to one design and still updating the details of our project.
Reflect & share:
The problem with my design is. The strengths of our bubble tea straw design are:
PROS:
-Easy usable (just press a button)
-not heavy
-don’t use pearls for drinking tea
-don’t use Eletronic / batteries
-small design different use:
-you can just use it as a straw
-or you can use the filter inside
CONS:
-need to clean straw or refuse filter with more tea/other filter after every use
-not cheap and not also expensive as well
The idea for this design is when you eat bubble tea the pearl sometimes climbs up too high, and it will be difficult for you to eat / drink and we designed a new straw utensil called bubble tea tea.
We made a cardboard basketball game. We almost didn’t finish our project, but Mr. Layman gave us more time to complete our project.
One of our biggest obstacles during our project was people playing our games while it wasn’t finished. When we were working on other parts of our game, people would often and secretly play our it. Additionally, when we were hot glueing our game, people would just come to our game and play it like it was okay. However, we managed to work hard and finish our game in time.
One concern that was shared with me was to make more parts of our game in case some of it breaks. I took the advice and started to build backup parts so we could easily replace them when the game actually breaks. Sadly, I did not have time to finish my backup parts and we had to publish our game.
Overall, I think this project was successful because a lot of fourth graders played our game. They usually took two or more turns to play our game. Also, I saw some fourth graders sharing the game with their friends, and I was sure glad. Additionally, the fourth graders that scored a lot of points in our game were very happy and exited, and that was additional evidence to me that our game was successful.
