Joey Siemens- Week 8; What can we do as Jewish people to help the Jews in Israel

      Obviously, everyone knows about what is going on in Israel. Hamas has attacked the Jewish people in order to scare us. Yes, it might be scary, but we need to be the strongest we have ever been in times like this. Now is the time to turn to unite with each other as we fight off many evil people who are always hating on us Jewish people.

     What can we do though if we are not in Israel? There are many things we can do. One thing I have seen many people do is post on social media. What does that do though? Well, followers who aren't Jewish are able to see the tragic things happening and can also be affected by the times. Followers who are Jewish can see the posts which will make them want to unite with other fellow Jewish people. Another thing we can do is pray. Praying to Hashem every single day can have an effect on a person's life in Israel. We pray to Hashem in order to remain holy and hope that miracles will happen to us Jews. What Donna Klein has been doing is giving each student a hostage's name in order to pray for that singular person. I find that very moving as every student has that one person in mind. One last thing we can do as Jewish people is send money and food to our IDF soldiers so they feel our support and also have the right amount of weapons in order to fight off Hamas. 

     I would advise everyone to just try to do something to help the state of Israel. Do you guys want to join in and pray for the Jews out there in Israel?

Anna Shimonovitc: Week 9 - Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (with Hozier)

Image
    I haven't actually listened to a lot of Noah Kahan songs, but I have listened to a lot of Hozier songs. I want to specifically discuss Hozier's new song, Northern Attitude, in heavy detail. It's not actually Hozier's song, but he is featured in it. It's a song by Noah Kahan, who you might know from his recently popular song, Stick Season. I don't know what other songs he sings, but oh my god. This new song. It's so amazing and if anyone argues with me they're wrong. The reason I'm even listening to it is because the Andrew Hozier-Byrne sings in it. And when I say listening I mean that I am in a perpetual state of listening to this song, always playing, even if it's just stuck in my head on a loop. The song is just such a good vibe. Like I have no other way to describe it because I'm not going to spend my time actually interpreting the lyrics as if I have nothing else to do besides wonder what some dudes were thinking when they were writi...

Josh Matheson - Week 9; First AP Lang Essay

Image
Last week, we had our first in class timed essay and let's just say it did not go according to plan.  Going into the first essay, I was focused on completing the essay within the 40 minutes and have a great thesis, that can be backed up with enough evidence.  The essay was both a success and a fail, as I finished in time which was one of my concerns, but I did not get specific enough and tie enough evidence back to my thesis.  I realized that even though I had the evidence the most important thing to explain is why the speaker uses that choice.  This generally is what destroyed me because I had the evidence, but did not get specific enough and just left everything vague.  Fortunately,  I am confident that next time will be better,  since this is my first AP essay and the best way to improve is through practice and experiences.  On this essay, I received a 2.5, which is not too good of a score, but at least I will have the revision in order to fix ...

Mia Garaz, Week 9, Nothing To Watch!

Image
With the various amounts of streaming services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more, you would think the possibilities of films to watch are endless! However, lately, this has not been the case. I find myself scrolling for hours, and still, nothing catches my eye. Possibly, this is due to the algorithm. It may not be calculating as well as it should. Though, I don’t feel this is the case. I think there is a major lack of TV series and movies to view across all platforms. Even when they do come out with new releases, they tend to lack substance or an interesting plot. What I have noticed a lot is that the creators and directors are trying to create “relatable” content. Still, it just ends up being cringey (and in my opinion, overly politically correct). With such curated/censored content it destroys the reality and relatability that they were trying to achieve. The sadness of it all is, unfortunately, that it is extremely difficult for a “classic” to be made in this day and ag...
