Searching for a Portfolio Website

So obviously with one of my main goals from this project being the creation of a portfolio, I have to find a suitable website that's affordable and fits all my needs. I spent a total of about three and a half hours going through different websites.  To get a feel for all the options, i created TONS of sample websites/free accounts.  After all the pros and cons, i finally settled on a website called Folio HD.  once i made my payment, i finally got to put the finishing touches on everything! Im really pleased with the way things turned out, and cant wait to start posting more randomness on it. My website can be found here.

1984 Chp. 1-3

Through the first few reading chapters, Winston Smith's greatest conflict is trying to hold back his feeling of rebellion for Oceania. Oceania is a highly monitored state filled with big brother propaganda and telescreens.  These telescreens not only televise propaganda, news, and hatred for enemies, but it also contains a camera that watches civilians every move.  Winston shows his disgust for this totalitarian society by writing "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" repeatedly in his secret journal.  Winston's hatred for the government is also shown during the two minute hate when he seems anger not at the enemy, "but, on the contrary, against Big Brother, the Party, and the Thought Police.."  Winston's feelings for Oceania are also expressed through his repetition of describing the ways Big Brother is watching.  He later goes on to claim that "nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your head."  This goes to show that he feels extremely violated and has put up with this watch for long enough.

Stranger Than Fiction

The Author of a story is the person who physically records a story by writing it, while a narrator is a person that the author chooses to almost sort of voice the story.  The narrator is the all-knowing teller of the story, who is actually in the story.  So basically an author writes, while a narrator speaks to the targeted audience.  In the film, the author was the actual person who wrote the film, but the narrator was Karen Eiffel.

In my capstone paper, i tried my best to provide a fact-based work of writing with as little bias as possible.  Although i feel strongly on some topics, that was a bit of a challenge.  I think that in this way though, the readers will most likely agree with what i wrote and hopefully feel more passionate about scientific research.

In regards to the Personality Disorder Test you've taken

Dear Ms. Macbeth,

It is to my misfortune to inform you that the results from the personality disorder test you took last week in my office have now arrived, with some startling results.  While there are minor disorders, one of the major disorders the test shows you suffer from is paranoia. Major symptoms shown include: Unwillingness to forgive perceived insults, Excessive sensitivity to setbacks, Distrustfulness and excessive self-reliance, Projection of blame onto others, Consumption by anticipation of betrayal, Combative and tenacious adherence to personal rights, and finally, Relentless suspicion.  Unfortunately for you, this will likely not be easily treatable, as you will most likely not believe what I'm telling you.  So as of now, I won't reach out to you to give treatment.  It's up to you if you would like treatment.  If you agree to come in for treatment, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I'm sorry for the unfortunate news.

Fiscal Cliff

US Republicans are advising a federal tax revenue by cutting deductions, instead of raising rates to avoid the fiscal cliff.  they also said they could raise taxes by 800 billion by simply ending loopholes for the wealthy as an alternative for raising the income tax on them.  On the other hand, Democrats are advising a raise in income tax for the wealthier citizens in order to avoid the fiscal cliff.

I found that this was quite a difficult topic to find narrowed search results with comparisons of the two ideas on a single website, but I was able to find the two different viewpoints from different website by specifically searching for each individual party's ideas. This helped me learn to be extra specific in searching for key points I need information on.

All About Love

Of all the aspect of love bell hooks covers through her work All About Love, I believe that the most crucial of all of them is commitment. If you don't commit to your partner, there's really no bond that will hold the two of you together, creating solid ground on which a sturdy relationship can be built on.  The relationship will almost surely collapse without solid commitment from both partners. That being said, I believe that all the ingredients she covered were all key components, and should all be found in a healthy, steady relationship.  I believe that one of the most overlooked aspects of love is honesty.  I know from experience, that when there's a lack in honesty, all progress in a relationship comes to a halt, and even backtracks. Some couples think that it's alright to let things slide, or that a little fib won't hurt.  But the truth is, they can hurt, and absolute honesty is crucial to a successful relationship.

Investigative Type

The investigative type: Like to investigate, solve and analyze problems.  Generally like math and science-based classes prefer to observe/study different subjects.
Possible major types:

• Bioresource Eengineering
• Food Science
• Microbiology

Career Options:

• Aerospace Engineer
• Biotechnologist
• Laboratory Supervisor

Overall, I'd say that these major types and career options are what i expected to match up with what i want.  i think majoring somewhere in the field of science and technology is something that I've always wanted.  don't get me wrong, I've changed possible career options multiple times, but they've all generally stayed in the same field.
