Camille B. said...

is this a precept and if it is is it a good one?

It only hurts when you start pretending it doesn't.

Camille B. said...

how about this

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me."

Nick said...

mr buxton or classmates- I don't get how to do the thisis thing..

Hamadude said...

mr b is this a good precept(i made it myself)

It doesn't matter what other people think about you, as longas you're kind you're beautiful, and if you're mean you're ugly.(is it good?)

Hamadude said...

longas = long as

Nick said...

Camille B. said...

not many people are on the blog tonight

Unknown said...

too wordy Carter... needs work

yes Nick, Carter

Read the info in the package Nick. It will help you

Camille B. said...

Wait, this one

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me."

Camille B. said...

Is the second one good?

Camille B. said...

Life will knock you down but it's weather you choose to get back up or stay down.

Is this a good precept
or is it even a precept

Caroline said...

Can someone give an example for the Thesis Statement. I don't get if its persuasive or what?

Hamadude said...

what about this:
Being kind makes you beautiful. Being rude makes you ugly.

Han said...

Is this a good precept? I crafted it but no idea if its good...

When people drag you down, it is your choice whether to bring yourself up and other people up or let them drag you down.

Han said...

And what about this one? I also crafted this one.

It doesn't matter what you actually do, it matters about the choices you make on them.

Caroline said...

Good job, Han. You are really going out of your way to find precepts!

Caroline said...

Isn't a precept just like a message?

Hamadude said...

heres another one:
Just because you think it's right, doesn't make it right.

Arielle said...

Is this a good precept?

The closest people to you could actually turn out to be the farthest from you.

Arielle said...

Caroline- basically yah

Hamadude said...

is this a precept?(its not mine)
The world doesn't revolve around you.

Harrisen(M) said...

For the sticky that we wrote today would that be your whole essay or just a paragraph???

Arielle said...

Han said...

Harrisen- Just a paragraph

Han- thx

Maya S. said...

Is this a precept?
If a million people do a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing.

Camille B. said...

Yah those are good precepts. I bet a precept is kind of like a riddle but has an important message behind it.

Harrisen- i think that would only be a paragraph.

Maddy Z said...

Han -

Your precept is REALLY good, here is how you COULD make it less wordy:

When people drag you down, it's your choice whether or not to bring yourself back up or let them keep you down.

Maddy Z said...

Harrisen -

The paragraph we wrote today was basically summarizing our thoughts about each of the 4 steps. We will expand on each step later, but that can be you basic idea. Mr. Buxton said that the whole thing should be a page to a page and a half of typed text.

Maya S. said...

This is what I have of my thesis statement so far:
Beauty and the Beast is capable of making its reader think deeply because the characters have important links, ___________, ____________, and ___________.

Is it good? The ______ will be more examples of my opinion.

Harrisen(M) said...

Thx, but is this a good thesis statement:
"Snatch for the living not for the dead." Thank you m'am by Langston Hughes clearly shows that the main characters only desire is to be compassionate to poor kids that have NOTHING and rob for money.

Han said...

Maddy- thanks

Sabine said...

What i learned in wonder is to learn to be understanding when it's worth it

Harrisen(M) said...

can someone please respond to my comment

Sabine said...

this is my thesis. i will definetly elaborate on it. but a question: for beauty and the beast i couldn't find the youngest daughter's name. does anyone know it?

(youngest daughter) doesn't deserve to live in poverty with her father. the ones who really deserve it are her greedy brothers and sisters who complain about everything.


ALSO!! is this a good precept?

if you live in fortune during life, you will live at the bottom in death, though those who keep behind in life will rise to the top in living death. it is your call in deciding which is more worthy.

Sabine said...

harissen, i don't think your thesis is very arguable. one of the reasons might be that i haven't read the book, but if i had, i wouldn't be able to give an opposite opinion.

Maya S. said...

Sabine- One part of the story says that everyone called her Beauty, so I called her that in my essay

Sabine said...

everyone this is an AMAZING precept by olivia in mrs c's class:

i consider myself a crayon. i might not be your favorite color, but you will need me one day to finish your picture.

Aditya.k said...
