Angels and Demons


Prompt #2:

At this stage in my independent reading novel, they are talking about a lot of conspiracies with American History. Fore example they link a lot of it with the American dollar. There is a pyramid on the dollar if you look at it and it has nothing to do with American history which causes the question as to why it is on our dollar bill. There is also something that says "Novus Ordo Seclorum" opn the dollar bill which Dan Brown translates to New Secular Order implying that there is a new, no religious order which conflicts with the "In God We Trust" which can also be found on the dollar bill. I linked this to the September 11th attacks and how after it happened people found the twin towers on the dollar burning if you folded it in a certain way. It is very interesting and it makes you think about these conspiracies and if they have a deeper meaning.

Commencement speech


If i were elected as a commencement speaker, there would be many things i would like to address to my fellow classmates of 2009. I would first talk about pride. No matter what you do in life, whether it is in school or at your job, take pride in what you do because people will notice that and respect you a lot more for it. Whether you are the CEO of a large company or are cleaning toilets, take pride in your work because it will get you a lot further in life and as an individual. I would also take the time to speak about our past 4 years in Wissahickon and how great it as been to share the high school experiences with everyone. I would talk about our futures and wish everyone good luck as we part ways from this stage of our lives.

Prompt #1-Independent Reading


In this section, Robert Langdon is sent to Italy to research and analyze another famous particle physicist named Maximilian Kohler. The illuminati symbol had been branded onto Kohler's chest. Langdon could not believe that this had happened and he paired up with Vittoria Vetra to try and figure out how this happened to Kohler. I noticed that Langdon is very scared and in disbelief as to what he is seeing. He knows it will take a lot of time and effort to discover the illuminati and I am anxious to see what obstacles he and Vittoria are going to have to pass by.
