Hominids Compared to Planet of the Apes + Wordly


Primate of a family, that includes humans and their fossil ancestors that is the definition of hominids after this definition you realize that hominids and the classic sci-fi movie and book planet of the apes are very similar. Because they both have a species that is prior to humans in hominids it is the neanderthals and in the planet of the apes it is the apes themselves. Secondly in both novels the humans discover the Neanderthals and the Apes and the neanderthals or apes don't find the humans. Finally in both of the novels the humans do testing on the apes and the neanderthals to find out about them. That is how to classic sci-fi movie and novel planet of the apes and hominids are similar.

Human: a person, especially as distinguished from other animals or as representing the human species. Humans is important to the text because humans have a key role in the book because the discover a neanderthal and do a lot of testing on them to find out were they came from and what they are.

Evolution:a product of such development; something evolved. Evolution is important in the book hominids because it is about a species called neanderthal that teleports to a base in Sudbury and they find out that the neanderthal will evolve into humans in future years.  

Difference:the state or relation of being different; dissimilarity. Difference has a important role in the novel hominids because it is about the difference between humans and neanderthals.

Hominids: primate of a family, that includes humans and their fossil ancestors. Hominids is important because it is the tittle of the book but also because when you find out the definition it gives a very large hint about what the book is about.

Career 5 (resumes & interviews)


Amy Beamer came to our class on Wednesday from the Waterloo Public Library (http://www.wpl.ca/) to talk about advise for resumes and interviews. 

Some of her advise included don't fidget or sway in your chair and try to answer all questions in a positively towards you and don't give any information to the interviewer that may think about not hiring you. Some of her advise on a resume was to keep it neat bold your name at the top and don't draw or put pictures on it and try to keep it one or two pages long. This is some of the very useful information that Amy gave to use about resumes and interviews.

Justin Kominar's career as a web designer sounds like a very interesting career that people that like computers, software designing and other things in that field would love this. This is a career that I would love to be in because I love using computers and making software.

Ideology about are people naturally and mainly good or evil?

I believe that people are essentially good. That is why people have a conscience. If people were evil then their conscience would not bother them so much when they act in any way that may hurt others. Most people are greedy and selfish and it is the level of greed or selfishness that determines the level of evil that a person is willing to go to so as to achieve what the person desires. From early childhood, children are instructed to be good. From this basis, the conscience forms and becomes a guide in later life. People who have not developed a strong conscience also benefit from offers of reward and punishment from peers, employers police or religious leaders. People with selfish tendencies can choose to be bad ignoring their consciences and even the consequences that they know could await them.

Historical Short story (How the first tank was designed)


On July 28 1914 Walter Gordon Wilson joined the British navy in the royal naval armored car division and William Tritton joined the British army and was asked to design and build tractors that could pull the very heavy howitzers around battle fields. Later in the war Walter and William meet up to create a armored tractor because all the rivers in them were being shoot out of them and they need more protection so they designed a armored tractor that later became the first tank in World War 1. In 1919 they were credited by the Royal Commission of Awards to Inventors as the inventors on the tank. William Tritton was knighted. They were then best friends for twenty-seven years when Sir William Tritton dies in Lincoln eleven years after Sir William Trittons death Walter Gordon Wilson dies.

Career Speaker 3

Melissa Durell's job as a journalist sounded great for a person that likes a fast passed job and like to be under pressure to do everything good and quickly at the same time, those are things that I do not want because I am not very good when I am pressured. Here job as a politician sounds more like something I would like in a job because you get a opinion about everything.

Final Reflection Assignment


1.  Some of the common themes I have noticed well working on this assignment in class are that computers don’t always tell the truth when you do online quiz’s.
2. From what I have learned about myself the last couple of days I would like to be a office worker, nurse, kindergarten teacher that’s what the computer program said. I actually want to be a contractor, photographer, or a mechanic I want to be anyone of these because I like hands on work more than sitting at a desk all day tipping on a computer and I also love building decks and fences and also I love cars.

Tedxyouth Waterloo

Tedxyouth Waterloo was amazing there was some very good speakers like Caustan De Riggs and Richard Mclean. Caustan De Riggs is a comedian and business man and also use to rap a little and was very good at speaking in front of hundreds of people. Richard Mclean had a amazing life story about him  going from foster home to foster home and then ended up on the streets homeless and know work for the mental health field and with people that are homeless. There was a lack of things to do that were interactive with the crowd.

Career Post 1

Allison Fleming has a interesting career if you like to be on social media sites and like using the internet and advertising for company's. That's something I don't like doing that's why this career in social media would not be a career for me.

Late Marks

I believe the way the school board has it at the moment is a good way that you get 5% taken of but after a week its a zero. That is a good way in my mind because if you don't take any marks off after its late everyone will just hand it in late. But if after a day late is kind of strict but if you go out into the world you can't hand stuff in late because it could be really important so maybe it should be 10% a day and after three days you get a zero, that would make most kids hand there stuff in on time because if you don't you would be very close to failing. That is why I believe it should be 10% a day and then after tree days a zero.
