8.SI.1.1

Reflection Page To me, the most interesting thing that I learned about my decade was when Adolf Hitler became chancellor ofGermany. Pluto’s discovery is also something I took interest in. The LSD discovery in 1938 fascinated me, too. Hitler’s becoming of Chancellor interested me, because it was just amazing how he could lead a whole nation with a microphone. To be honest, Adolf was sort of a role model for me. Not because of what he did, no, definitely not, but because of his willpower and strategies. The way he controlled a country with words really fascinated me. Despite what anyone said; his opposing forces, victims, enemies, or what anyone else thought of him, he kept going and never gave up. After all of the challenges, in the end, he got what he wanted. He became chancellor of Germany. This here inspires me a bit, it teaches me that you can literally do whatever you want, just achieve your goals and live satisfied. Pluto’s discovery amazed me, because it reminds me that Earth isn’t the only place out there. Just the thought of there being another planet besides Earth, is enough to make me feel amazed. What interests me the most about Pluto, are its moons. They’re unlike any other moon; unique. I think they’re pretty to look at. The discovery of LSD also intrigued me. It surprises me, that such a creation was formed from ergot, a fungus that attacks rye. But then again, you never know what to expect. Its effects interested me, too. Hallucinations are always a wonder. America has changed a lot since the 30’s. Back then, the clothing style was different, technology was different, even hairstyles were different. Almost everything was different. Including opinions and views. Now,America is a lot more developed. New useful technology, and, who knows, maybe some great new discoveries. I did encounter some hardware/software issues during this project. There was many “Access Denied” pop-ups while doing research. I was rather frustrated at first, but then I realized that there’s a whole lot more other sites that I could use for information, if I put in the correct keywords. Sometimes, instead of clicking on links, I directly went to the site and typed in my requests there, and extracted the information. It was successful a couple of times. Technology is changing greatly in our society. People are coming out with better and improved cell-phones called “smart phones” or something along those lines. At times, new cell-phones seem like they become a trend, and it’s rather ridiculous, in my opinion. There are also new and improved audio products, such as the iPod. So much has changed, and sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the immediate changes. Soon, all of the cool new special movie effects, new laptop computers, new cell-phones; they’ll all go “out-of-style”. That’s just the way the media works. Next thing you know, people will find a way to turn every single thing on this Earth to something technological.
