We made a circle (10-14-09)

We made a circle and presented the 10 words/phrases we came up with, which related to a simple image. A lot of people had humorous words to give meaning to their photograph, which was very entertaining. I noticed that adding humor was much more common and easier to do since one must deeply analyze a photograph to give it a very serious and effective meaning.

We also watched a speech given by Sir Ken Robinson. Not only was this man funny, but he was also very right about things.

He spoke about the education system the US provides people with, and according to him, it wasn't the greatest. I must agree. Unfortunately the standards are being lowered, and almost any teenager can graduate from high school without doing much. Even though there are a lot lazy people, we cannot forget there will always be those awesome over-achievers. Even with higher standards, we wouldn't be able to force anyone to want an education. People eager to learn and better themselves will always be present, and those people are the ones who will keep this country motivated.

Adjectives:

1) Cumbersome
2) Assorted
3) Curvy
