Quote Chapter 12

In some inland post feel their savagery, the utter savagery, had closed round him-- all that mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the heart of wild men. There's no initiation into either such mysteries. He has to live in the midst of the incomprehensible, which is the detestable. And it has a fascination, too, which goes to work upon him. The fascination of the abomination--you know. Imagine the growing regrets, the longing to escape, the powerless disgust, the surrender, the hate.

Jospeph Conrad-- Heart of Darkness, Part 1.

Quote Chapter 11

"I put for the general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death."

Thomas Hobbes

Chapter 10 Quote

"Group decision making is another common  bureaucratic practice that enables otherwise considerate people to behave inhumanely, because no single individual feels responsible for policies arrived at collectively. Where everyone is responsible, no one is really responsible."

Albert Bandura

Chapter 9 Quote

"When a person starts on the discovery of the absolute by the light of reason only, and without any assistance of sense, and perserveres until by pure intelligence he arrives at the perception of the absolute good, he at last finds himself at the end of the intellectual world, as in the case of sight at the end of the visible..."

Socrates

Quote Chapter 7

Destroy your primitivity, and you will most probably get along well in the world, maybe achieve great success- but Eternity will reject you. Follow up your primitivity, and you will be shipwrecked in temporality, but accepted by Eternity.

Soren Kierkegaard

Quote Chapter 6

EAE3U – Class Survivor


1. The survivor game is a class competition.

2. There will be 3 teams to begin and 4 teams by the end.


3. The teams will have to complete a series of challenges. The losing teams have to vote off members from their team every time they lose for the first 2 challenges.

4. The students who are voted off these teams will make up “Simon’s Tribe” and will continue to play in the challenges. They also start off the game by having 1 point, whereas, the opposing teams will have 0 points.

5. If, before Simon’s team is fully complete, Simon’s Tribe wins the second challenge, they get to choose which four players from the other teams joins their tribe.

6. Once all the teams are complete, the point system begins during the third challenge.


7. When a challenge is won, the winning team gets a point. The winning team ALSO gets to penalize one other team with the penalty given by the teacher.  

8. The team with the most points at the end wins the group competition. 


9. The members of this team then continue to perform in two individual challenges. During these challenges, the players from the three losing teams will vote on which player deserves to win and to move on to the last round.   

9.  During the last round, the final two players will give speeches to explain why they deserve to be "Sole Survivor". The rest of the class will vote on who the winner is.

MLA CITATION EXPLAINED

Instead of writing a footnote, in English we often cite sources using the MLA method. This is like an abbreviation of your Bibliography.

Citations are used in two circumstances:
1.    When you quote someone
2.    When you provide information such as research findings or statistics.

The reason why you must cite is because, if not, I will wonder “Where did they get this information from?”

WRITING A BIBLIOGRAPHY

The FIRST STEP to doing MLA citations is to create a BIBLIOGRAPHY.

A bibliography is a separate page at the END of your work. It is where you indicate which sources you used and the sources are always enumerated in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

·         Here is the structure for an INTERNET article:

Ø  Author. “Page/Article title.” Website title. Publisher or sponsor, date of publication. Medium of publication. Date of access.

o   For EXAMPLE, if you found an article on TheAtlantic.com you would write:

Ryan, Kay. “Hailstorm.” The Atlantic.com. Atlantic Monthly Group, December 2003. Web. October 19th 2009.

WRITING THE ABBREVIATION (ALSO KNOWN AS AN IN-TEXT CITATION)

The abbreviation or in-text citation is always PLACED at the END of the sentence which contains either the QUOTE or the INFORMATION. It is put in parentheses.

All you need to do is go to your bibliography, look at the source of your information, and take the FIRST WORD from the source.

If we take the same example above, the abbreviation would look like this:

In 2007, a hailstorm hit Nova Scotia causing $25 million in damage. (Ryan)
BOOKS

·         BIBLIOGRAPHY structure for a book:

Ø  Author. Book title. Place of publication: publisher, year. Medium of publication.

o   Ex: Shaw, Harry. Errors in English and Ways to Correct Them. New York: Harper Collins, 1993. Print.


·         What to put for the abbreviation or IN-TEXT citation:

Ø  Author’s name and page number, no punctuation between


o   Ex: (Shaw 209)
