Deadlines, ARGHH

1. The origins of the word are uncertain, but we think it came from a term from prisoners in the Civil War, meaning a line the prisoners couldn't cross.
2. I will not get as good of a grade if I turn it in late, and while everyone might be having free time, I will be working.
3. Turning in late work always gets you points off, even if you did everything right.
4. I don't usually miss deadlines, but sometimes I do and there are consequences with that, but theres always some way to get extra credit so that doesn't really stop me from doing it lol.
5. I didn't miss the deadline.
6. uhhh not talk to friends and listen to music, focus.

1. Don't get sidetracked - yes, there are plenty of other things that I would love to do besides homework, and I really need to work on just turning my phone off and doing my homework.
2. The toughest one for me would to get a good night's rest. I love watching the walking dead and sometimes it's hard for to just get off and do things I need to do.
3. I'm definitely a morning person. The second I wake up, I'm stuck awake. But I also love sleeping in so...
3A. When I get home, I'm very tired and just want to chill out. I was I had a little bit more motivation to do my homework at night because I have so much more time rather than in the morning when I have to do everything.
4. Maybe the second after school I'll turn my phone off and work on homework.
5. Turn my phone off, put it in another room, drink an energy drink to keep me awake and focused.

1. I have so much time, but I love tv and being on my phone.
2. I love music because it motivates me, and I like to be warm and comfortable, etc. I hate being in a cold classroom.
3. my phone, my tv and just the thought that my friends are having parties and stuff and I'm doing homework.
4. turn my phone off, turn my tv off and know that I can have fun over the weekend and not stress about my grades.


Top 100 Photos of All Time

#1- Bloody Saturday
Image result for bloody saturday h.s. wong1. I like how the baby is sitting on the ground just watching the rummage on the ground like he can't do anything about it.
2. The baby's mother died in a bombing and and was laying dead on the tracks nearby. Wong quickly took the picture and helped bring the baby to safety.
3. The photo was viewed by over 136 million people, this picture was part of the start of world war 2.
4. in the second photo, you can see the child's father and the dead mother on the tracks.
5. H.s. (Newsreel) Wong
1900 - March 9, 1981
Japan? Doesn't say.
school ???



#2 - V-J in Times Square
1. I picked this image because it is very famous and I figured I should learn more about it. It is super romantic and adorable.
2. Eisenstaedt was on a mission "to find and capture a storytelling moment," being one of LIFE magazine's first photographers and saw a soldier grab a nurse in the middle of the street and kiss her.
3. LIFE magazine put together a collage of all the different cities where the soldiers kissed different girls.
4. the second photo I picked by Eisenstaedt was a photo of Marilyn Monroe in front of a fence I'm guessing; I picked it because she is very beautiful and her stare is mesmerizing.
5. Alfred Eisenstraedt
December 6, 1898 - August 23, 1995
Dirschau (Tczew) in West Prussia, Imperial Germany

#3 - Famine in Somalia
1. This photo hurt my heart to look at it. These are real people - people who could have grown up and became these amazing creatures, but they are simply limited by the lack of food in their country.
2. Nachtwey couldn't get the assignment, so he went on his own. He brought back the pictures and showed them to Time magazine, they were haunted and impressed.
3. The photo is of a woman waiting to be wheeled to a feeding center. She is obviously too weak to walk.
4. The second photo is a very skinny, sick boy getting an IV I'm guessing.
5. James Nachtwey
March 14, 1948 - present
Massachusetts
Dartmouth College

#4 - Alan Kurdi
1. I picked this image because the story behind it is super emotional. The boy who is dead laying on the beach is what caught my eye.
2. The boy plus his mother and younger brother were on their way to make a 3 mile journey in an inflatable boat to get out of the War in Syria. They left off of the coast of Turkey and headed for the Greek island Kos.
3. The war by the time the photographer had taken the photo, 220,000 people had been killed.
