Power from Trees

Currently a team of MIT researchers are using platinum electrodes and ficus plants to discover the truth of feeble electric currents from trees. They have come up with an answer. They state that the PH difference from between soil and the living tree is the cause of creating electric currents. Now scientists are debating over how to use this power for human benefits.

New Post on 1984

Winston is very paranoid, he is afraid that the government is gonna arrest him. He says that the government is watching him all the time. The government own everything. Winston said "Nothing is yours except for the few cubic meters in your skull." The government controls everything, if you do something that they do not like they will kill you. Winston is afraid because he was writing bad things about the government in his diary. So Winston is hoping the government does not kill him.

1984

This part was weird. I did not really understand the two minutes of hate. Winston explained it like it was terrible, everybody was screaming, and just doing crazy things of hate. If it is really bad why do they have it on a scheduled date? That is weird.

That is all that really struck me while I was reading this part of the book, so that is the end of my post.

When Virtue Becomes Redundant

1. My favorite quote.:
"The world owes you nothing and every gift is exactly that, a gift."
I like this quote because it tells you that you have to earn everything and that you should
not expect anything to be given to you, you have to earn it. I believe in that firmly. And you should be thankful if anything at all is given to you, because you do not deserve it.

New Book, 1984 By George Orwell

Well, the book starts out interesting right from the first sentence which says, the clocks were striking thirteen.I think he was going by military time. I wonder if it is just him that goes by military time or everybody if started to. I just thought that was interesting.

In this part of the book it says that London had a war and all the streets and houses were messed up. Well it does not say that specifically but it was talking about the streets being messed up by bombs and some of the windows of houses patched up with cardboard. Winston (The only character in the book so far.) was trying to think of memories of when he was a kid hoping that there would be some of London not being so bad.

So in the book so far Winston is really struggling with lack of food and bad London also with the government watching everybody. I will get more into it later but this is the end of my post.

Second Post on The Cut by Will Mara

Unfortunatly this is gonna be my last post on this book because I can not find a copy. I was reading a preview on google but that ran out so I reserved a book at the library that should come in by thursday. But here is my post on what I was able to read.

This is a good book but what they are trying to do in it is unheard of. The head coach of T.J's team Allen Grey is not giving T.J the money that he deserves. Grey said that he is gonna bench T.J. If I was Chet Palmer I would stop this (Chet Palmer is the general manager who commands above the head coach) you just can not bench an elite player like T.J it could potentially ruin the whole season for them. Grey is not a man that I would trust as a head coach he is doing whatever he can to keep money in his pocket even if that means destroying the offensive coordinator's scheme. He is just a very mean man.

That is all I was able to put together from what I read. Thank you for reading.
