He gave himself to a cause, and led a movement to stop the oppression of black people. Martin Luther Jr.'s nonviolent approach of fighting injustice inspired people across America. He did not live within the system because he fought for the abolishment of the Jim Crow laws. King sacrificed himself for the greater good many times because he was jailed for his beliefs. Dr. King set out intentionally on his quest to establish justice and tranquility for all, and experienced a transformation of consciencenous. He began to give himself to the cause, and stopped thinking about himself. Martin Luther King Jr. experienced many trails in fight for civil rights. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped organize nonviolent protests in Albany, Georgia.

Discussion #2-My Perfect World My perfect world would be on a tropical island. There would be white,sandy beaches and palm trees. In my world, there would be peace and tranquiltiy. This island would probably be near Hawaii because it has such great weather. There would be no disease or war because these things would disturb the peace. I would have phones,computers, and televisions on the island to keep in touch with people outside of the island. I woused also have cars for transportation, and planes to leave the island to go other places. My island would be in the future to take advantage of future technology, but it would still be peaceful and placid. I would make my island private, but I would let friends and family come. This is my perfect world because it has all the things that I enjoy.

Discussion #3-The God Teacher....Gifts Last year, I was given the gift of controlling my debit card balance with an app. The good thing about the app is that it tells you the balance of your card. This also protects against identity theft. The app also has a feature that allows you to transfer funds from one card to another. Once I found this out, I was transferring money from my savings account to my debit card all the time. This was good because I never had to worry about ot having enough money things, but I realized that this was bad because I would not have any money left in my savings account if I kept taking money out.

Discussion #4 End of Childhood My end of childhood moment happened when I was about six.At this age, I still believed that Santa was real. One day in July, I found my elf that my mom had hidden for the Christmas. I asked her why my elf was here since Christmas was a long time away, and she said that he was coming to check on me. In that moment, I realized that my mom was lying, and Santa and his elves did not exist. I knew that my parents bought my gifts and not Santa. This was my end of childhood moment because I also stopped believing in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny.

McCoy Pace-Discussion #5-The End of Time

The End of Time is near And the voice of God I hear Telling me to be prepared For the obliteration of those who did not care

The world has become bad And now God is mad I am the one to be saved When the earth is bathed

This flood is a chance for rebirth For the future inhabitants of earth And for those who did not believe God is sublime Goodbye, for it is the End of Time

McCoy Pace-Discussion #5- Change

Change is abundant is the myth Baucis and Philemon. When Zeus and Hermes went down to earth to see how hospitable the people of Phrygia, they changed their appearacne to look like poor wayfarers. They knocked on hundreds of people's doors, but they were never let in. When they got to the house of Baucis and Philemon, they were invited in. The gods changed the country in which Baucis and Philemon lived into a lake, to punish those who were wicked. Zeus and Hermes also changed their house into a large temple. They granted Baucis and Philemon's wish to die together, so when they died, Baucis and Philemon were changed into a linden tree and an oak tree that shared the same trunk.

Discussion #7-Change in the World

There have been many changes in the world that affected society for the better and the worse. An increase in the use of technology has been a big change to the modern society. Technology is being used everywhere. Kids are using technology in school to help them learn.But technology has a down side. Now, hackers are able to steal credit card information online. Hackers can steal your identity without ever having to be near you. Although technology is good, it has some flaws that are important to be mindful of.

Discussion #8-A Human Year-McCoy Pace

My favorite season is winter. There are many holidays that are winter such as Christmas that are in winter. I love the snow, and I love to go skiing. Also, winter is the best time to drink hot chocolate, one of my favorite drinks. Winter ties in with the archetype of The Flood because like the flood, everything dies in winter. In winter, plants die and the trees have no leaves. After winter, the plants grow back and the earth is reborn. The same thing happens with the flood because after the flood kills everything, the earth has a chance for rebirth.
