Ted Talks

For the ted talks assignment I watched a video about how the magician David Blaine held his breath for seventeen minutes. We have been asked to decode the thesis and three main points of the ted talk.   
   I think that the thesis was probably that if you keep practicing for long enough you can do things that most people would not be able to do. I say that because David is supposedly not a good build to hold his breath for a long time, but the guy who had the record before David broke it had "the ideal body type" for it.
I think that one of the main points i that he tried to cheat at first but then decided that he would actually try and beat the record. Another is that he attempted and failed to beat the record and also that he preformed on Oprah and ended up beating the record

entry #8

   We were asked to chose a super hero to emulate from the super hero database. The super hero we are supposed to chose needs to have a strength that is one of our weaknesses. Because my weakness is in the verbal category I chose Black Bolt. Black Bolt's super power is the ability to scream incredibly loud. I should emulate Black Bolt' abilities because unlike him I am not very loud or outspoken. I don't like public speaking but black Bolt is the leader of the in humans and if his voice did not destroy mountains he would probably have to do a lot of it.
   Also, because he is a leader he probably has to make a lot of important decisions. I think that this would probably stress me out a lot

That is why I chose Black Bolt

Dear Mr. Werner

I am applying for the dish washer position at the Gasthaus on the lake that was posted in the Westside weekly newspaper. I would like to point out that I am a great candidate for this position due to years of experience washing dishes using home and industrial dish washers.

  I have been washing dishes at home as long as I can remember, so I have tons of experience in this field. In 2009 and 2010 a friend and I helped dish wash at a summer camp. We used large industrial dishwashers and we were trained on how to load and operate them. I am a hard worker and excel in most subjects in school. I have also gotten work ethic for most, if not all, of my middle school terms.

I really value the job experience I will be getting from this position. I also really like the restaurant and I am happy to support the peachland comunity.

If you want to contact me you can reach me at 250-767-6654 (Home phone) or email me at tomdrydn@gmail.com

You can email me at any time and I am available for calls from 4:00- 9:30 most days after school.

Sincerely,

Tom Dryden.
