Reading/Research

Reading- The Life of Pi 1/21- 2 hours 1/22- 1 hour, 1/23- 3 hours, The History of Middle Earth (I'm a huge nerd)- 1/24- 1 hour, 1/25 3 hours, 1/26- 2 hours

Research- My research question is about the morality of using data gathered by Nazi experiments. I think that the info gathered by the experiments should not be ignored, but analyzed, because these experiments cant be replicated. Problem is, I can't say that in my paper because I have to be strictly neutral when writing an informative essay.




My research topic involves Nazi experiments committed on Jews, which may seem like a report, but is actually more focused on morality. The moral question at hand is whether or not to use valid data gathered by these experiments. I personally have an opinion, but I'm trying to be fairly neutral about this, as it is a presentation of several opinions more than an expression of just one.

This Christmas, I received a multitude of presents, including a gaming chair, a soda maker, and Assassin's Creed 3, but my favorite present of all is my new puppy. His name is Harry, and he is the single most lovable organism on the face of the earth, as weird as that might sound coming from a guy.

Harry Potter is actually his name, but in our house he just goes by Harry. He is now very comfortable at my house, and often has little outbursts of craziness where he runs as fast as he can throughout our house. However, he still cannot manage to climb up the stairs.

Research update

I actually haven't made much progress on my research project. I have found two more sources but they are both fairly useless. I've also began to hypothesize the formatting of my actually essay, but its still a work in progress. Other than this, I haven't done much on my project.

     I had a pretty great christmas break. I spent my Christmas break at my home here, and with my dad in Alabama, which is great because it means that I essentially get two separate sets of presents. :) At my mom's my favorite presents were my gaming chairs, my soda maker, my Xbox game, Assassin's Creed 3, and most of all,  my little puppy, Harry.

     At my dad's house, I received several pairs of socks, a pellet gun, 50$ to Mosley's Steaks, Halo 4, and Black Ops 2. Overall, both of my Christmases were very fun and festive.

     Alright, now that we're back to school, I have to find a new book to read. I, being the biggest J.R.R. Tolkien fan alive (author of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit), wanted to read one of his books. So, i went to the iTunes library, and found a book called the Children of Hurin, also by J.R.R. Tolkien.
     I immediately bought the book, not having the slightest clue as to what tho book was about. I opened the book and began reading the authors note, and discovered that The Children of Hurin was just several thousand pages of backstory to Lord of the Rings. As nerdy as it may seem, I was very interested in this book, so I began to read. And that's where I am now: the second chapter of the Children of Hurin.
