@ pizza you are smart like david and creative i think he's creative. because he like to draw andthe people who like to draw are creative.i know he likes to draw because he was sketching Lisa's face

Check out the new video I posted on Rebound 19...a Rick Mercer Rant on the articles we read
ReplyDeleteDavid:
ReplyDelete1)Angry

3)Strong
4)Smart
5)Determined
6)Sensitive
7)Paranoid
8)Friendly
9)Moody
10)Daring

2)Moody
3)Weird
4)Funny
5)Talkative
6)Friendly
7)Considerate
8)Faithful
9)Flexible
10)Grateful
The conclusion I make from this Venn Diagram or the comparison is that, me and David aren't "that" distant, but we are different. Just like our daily problems. He is way more daring than I am, he takes risks way out of my comfort zone. The road crossing, then the thing that he does with girls. He has the courage to talk to them so normally. He seems so aggressive, I'm a neutral person and not as provocative if someone makes fun of me. I know if I have setbacks I won't fight as much as David will to get back on track, he is very willing to do things that help him. He has will power, you've heard of will power but, you've probably never heard of won't power, where you are reluctant to do something. He doesn't seem to have any of that in him. He is smart just like me, he showcases this during the science project, all that extra work took effort and he gave it, all of it. I know when someone makes fun of me because I can't do something or my attributes I act like I don't care but, later it affects me. David just lets it all out, at one time. I say he's strong not physically but, mentally because when he has a setback he just keeps going, he shows this when him and Sean got into a fight, he forgave him almost right away, I find this very hard to do. I don't say sorry unless I feel really bad. David seems mean at first but him and Sean become really good friends, I consider him friendly because of Caroline, Lisa and Christina he just went up to them and now their friends, I thought in my head that was fast within one week, David has gained 4 friends, 1 enemy. I think that's pretty quick 4 great friends in one week. I could've only accomplished that in 3 weeks minimum, but it also depends on the type of people your around, right?. I think in the sense of emotions David probably has more than me that he expresses because he goes through a lot of stuff, I don't go through many things, at least nothing David goes through.
David
ReplyDeleterebellious,intelligent,rude, independent,athletic,
brave,determined,ignorant,cunning,sensitive
Me
shy, generous,organized,rude,nice,intelligent,
responsible,co-operative,polite,helpful
In conclusion me and David have very little similarities but with these similarities I am able to understand him and why he does certain things that may come off as rude,to other people.
@malav if you have similarities why do u think that you won't get along
ReplyDelete@shelby i like how u said that now i am able to understand him more because even i'm starting to understand why he does certain things
ReplyDelete@Google well David thinks differently from other people just like us we are all trained to see things from different points of views.So David saw Sean questioning him as maybe an insult.
ReplyDeleteDavid : clumsy, smart, brave, courageous, Athletic, active, impaient
ReplyDeleteMe : Fair, Friendly, smart, brave, courageous, Athletic, active, impaient
In conclusion David and I have some similarities we only have 2 things different I only say he is clumsy because he said he fell down steps in the mall because he was brave enough to go down the steps he thought if he could have gone down the stairs at school he could do it here. But we still aren't sure that David did fall down the steps, or did Scott do it or Nick and Gavin.

10 loud

1 polite
2 bias
3 athletic
4 sad
5 temper

the conclusion i can make is that even though we have similarities but we have many differences that makes us different also the traits david has, is something i would never have the guts to have these traits.
@bacon strips
ReplyDeletehe could be brave to go down the stairs but how come he is clumsy.
@shelby
ReplyDeleteso do you think if david comes up to you and acts rude and you know him would you be nice.
@stanley
ReplyDeletedo you think david is fair.
David-smart, short-tempered,determined, strong,moody,creative,active,freindly,
ReplyDeleteindependent and risk-taking
Me-creative,,friendly,independent,helpful,
responsible,moody,kind ,reliable,trusting,unique
Me and David a are different in many ways but we're the both freindly,creative and independant in our own ways.I dont really like to rely on others like David but we are freindly and nice.David is short-tempered when i am moody because no one can really be in the same mood and have the same result for everything.
@malav
ReplyDeletehow is david sensitive he does not care if he is in a wheel chair.
@am17 if he is trustworthy how is he careless.
ReplyDelete@jan101
ReplyDeleteso are you saying that you are different then him or the same because you have just listed facts of your similarities and it is alot.
@am17 maybe david is sencitive about how other people think of him or if he wasn't he wouldn't have got into a fight with the older boys
ReplyDelete@google
ReplyDeletehe is trustworthy and careless in a different way he is trust worthy because you can trust him that he got your back and you can depend on him for stuff however he is careless with his body , he does not care about getting hurt.
@am17, i think we're pretty same but different too because he can get angry easily , which i really dont and we each have our orn personalitys so i think we're more different then same.
ReplyDelete@google
ReplyDeletetrue i always thought of the emotional side but not the physical side
ya that could happen.
@google i agree that david is sensative because hes in a wheel chair and sometimes feels left out because of that and doesnt like it when people treat him differently or even make fun of him.
ReplyDelete@am17 well i think we would all be mad if someone can up to us and started being rude, so yes i would be mad if David was rude to me
ReplyDelete@janat
ReplyDeleteok then sure we all have similarities with david so you are trying to say that you guys have same traits but different meanings of the traits
i get it.
@Janat how does David rely on other people?
ReplyDelete@shelby
ReplyDeleteso are you saying you are the other people as you said "he does certain things that may come off as rude,to other people."
@am17 in a way i am both because sometimes i can understand why David is so rude and sometimes i think that David is really sensitive and gets mad for no reason
ReplyDelete@janat
ReplyDeleteya shelby is right how does david rely on other people.
@shelby
ReplyDeleteare you saying this as if you are Sean his good friend.
@shelby
ReplyDeleteor are you saying this as someone that rarely talks to David.
@am17 and shelby
ReplyDeletehe relys on people by trusting them that they will treat david the same way as they would treat others.so basically i'm trying to say that he rely on people to treathim like everyone else.
@Aqib you said 2 faced a strong observation but I don't see where your getting this from, it does seem reasonable to say that he is 2 faced but I just can't see where he is 2 faced. He seems to be pretty straight forward to me. If he's angry he lets it out just like that time where he screamed at Sean, for pushing his chair. If he wants a fight he won't hide it like someone whose scared. Even though he's in a wheelchair he still has that dignity to fight for himself, I respect that. And if he's angry if someone said something about his wheelchair or just because he's in one, he doesn't hesitate to give them a piece of his mind, even if they like him.
ReplyDelete@shelby i agree i think david is sensitive because sean didn't say anything wrong he was just curious.
ReplyDelete@google
ReplyDeleteif david was normal do you think that he would be mean or nicer than now.
@tabish
ReplyDeletei agree that he is straight forward i guess i just mis worded it you can say he is very nice but also very rude.
@shelby
ReplyDeleteya that is true David is sensitive because of that.
@am17 yeah i do think he would be nicer because whenever he gets angry it is mostly about someone treating him differently.
ReplyDelete*i don't like the way you said IF DAVID WAS NORMAL!
Well Sana explain how he is normal?
ReplyDelete@tabish
ReplyDeletefrom reading todays chapter would you be David's friend because he could some times you have to worry about him.
@sana
ReplyDeletetrue i did not like saying that
@tabsh
no one in this world is normal he is just slightly different than us.
@the sauce boss
ReplyDeletedavid a person like us
he has feelings like us
and we should not be saying what is normal or not.we should not be making our own definition of normal.who are we to say what is normal and what his not.
@sana
ReplyDeletei see where you are going that is true he mostly screams about his wheelchair.
@tabish
ReplyDeletewhat sana said is also true.
Great conversation,
ReplyDelete1. anybody watch the NEW clip I posted on Rebound 19, go watch it
2. When it comes right down to it, how different is David from you and I? We want to make a connection to equity and empathy...keep thinking and questioning
@Aqib, it is great how personalized and how many comments you are making tonight!
ReplyDeleteps aim for consistency! you want to be good most nights!
ReplyDelete@mr.cheny
ReplyDeleteya true.
@Aqib true but David is just someone perceived to be different from the "norm" right? Remember that he is just another symbol of something, that could be racism or sexism as Mr.Cheney highlighted above. The way I see it is that, either everyone is normal, or nobody is normal. I see what Sana tried to imply there, I think she was referring to equality. Am I correct Sana?
ReplyDeletedavid is not that different from us its just that people make up there own definition of normal and thats how the pyrimid is formed about equality.when in real life david is not that different.
ReplyDelete@the sauce boss kind of correct but not exactly what i was saying
ReplyDelete@tabish
ReplyDeletein some way everyone is normal, or nobody is normal.is the same thing because nobody is the same is the nobody is normal part but then no one is different is the everyone is normal part.
@aqib everyone has different meaning for normal.put down what youthink what nomal means and what i think what normal means and watch bet that my meaning and your meaning would be different.
ReplyDelete@ipod users
ReplyDeleteOff topic but those of you who try to blogg from your ipods you need a app called blogger its free.
David:Rude,self dependent, brave/daring, determined,smart/sharp, artistic, amusing/funny, short tempered,sensitive, arrogant, athletic,polite.
ReplyDeleteMe:Athletic, artistic, funny, honest,aggressive, polite, brave, fun, generous,kind.
In my conclusion that I have noticed not only with mine but others too that I/we are very alike to David with the more common things that most people have like for an example being polite would be an example it is this that we are most brought up to be to not only our elders but also our peers .
Although we think that David is a really rude guy with no kindness and respect he is in a way.And even when he is not he has an excuse , as he has gone through a lot through his life and he is keeping it all inside.Instead of just telling anyone about his troubles that he goes through everyday.
This is very similar to the story on how "gay people go through hell at school" as the boy Jamie Hubley was abused in so many ways (physically ,verbally e.t.c)just as David has.
And this can as well go back to where Mr.Cheney was talking about how David saw the high school boys do gestures and motions that teased or you can even say make "fun" of him, and only he can notice. This may have also affected Jamie ,leading him to commit suicide.In conclusion we all have similarities that make us , "us" and we all go through things that change our perspective of the world leading us to a change of perspectives of the world.
thx Sana!
ReplyDeleteamazing conclusions Malav

In conclusion me and David have couple of traits that we share. But most of them I would never be even if I try. Me and him or different from each other. But it would be pretty cool to have a friend who has all those traits.
@abeenash i think david is polite too.

@Abeeshan when u say that it would be cool to a have a friend like David would you really hang around with him a lot as he has a lot of mood swings?
ReplyDeleteDavid: ambitious, angry, bossy, independent, intelligent, athletic, courageous, capable, keen, determined
ReplyDeleteMe: independent, active, determined, moody, open minded, talkative, organized, curious, friendly, gullible
David is pretty different from me, he's a little more agressive than me and has the characteristics of a leader. We both have the drive to being successful but unlike me, David is willing to take chances and risks.
He has that type of personality because in the world hes living in, its unlikely for him to get caught and in trouble, so he is free to do and say whatever he wants. He might get angry a lot and fast, but you cant blame him, hes in a wheelchair and he has to let out all the frustration of his situation and other "normal" people at some point. Like Mr.Cheney said before, people like David are trained to think people are making fun of him.
@Mr. Cheney sorry I didn't post yesterday. I finished my HW it was I was so busy because it was Denali so I am posting now

This shows that everyone is different in their own ways but also can be the same in way. People can be more that one it’s not necessary if they are mean doesn’t mean they can’t be nice. Everyone has a good and bad side one may show more that the other. We all are unique in our own way but some of our own ways can be the same.
We lean David has more of a worse side meaning the mean side shows more but if you think about it David isn’t that bad of a guy if he does something it’s for a reason it could be stupid but he has a point
I learn that through things I may know what is right or wrong our ego can’t hold it. We do what we feel like doing even if it’s wrong .While making this chart tried to realize my personalities to others and usually I tend to get bossy which is true it’s just something about me. I had gone through everything I do on a daily basis which made me realize I have much more that 10 everyone does, going through experiences also made me realize I’m not always going to be a nice person we all change at times and reasons
Well in the question above I had said going through experiences and days to get some characteristic s .it makes me realize that I may be nice and kinds but at times. It shows me at times how d ii interact with people. When there is a situation I act different according to the situation.
diwali*
ReplyDeleteWho has watched the Rick mercer Rant I posted on Rebound 19?
ReplyDeleteThanks Neha, totally acceptable.
ReplyDeletei did but i didnt watch the whole thing
ReplyDelete@ sana
ReplyDeleteif you look at the differences, mine and david's are very different.
and like i said, david has other personalities, and, by how david reacts to things, and what he does, i dont think i casn handle him, and
i think he wouldnt get along with me either.
@ aqib
david is sensitive because if you say even a bit about his wheel cahir, or even touch it, he goes crazy. he also doesnt like it when people feel sorry for him. he gets sensitive about his wheelchair.
@ mr cheney
thanks.
and sorry i didnt comment.
i had diwali, and also my new year.
@ mr.cheney srry for not blogging i was doing my homework and it was also Diwali ( it's a really imprtant festival for Indian's, it's their new year ) and after Diwali in my culture there is another festival where the sister shows how much she loves her brother and and shows him respect so ya my cuzins came over and I had to do it to my cuzins and my brother so...... BUSY DAY!
ReplyDeleteDavid:
1)Complex,
2)Agressive,
3)Moody,
4)Athletic,
5)Courageous,
6)Intelligent,
7)Irritable,
8)Risk Taker,
9)Unpredictable
10)Friendly
Sonali:
1)Crazy
2)Talkative
3)Moody
4)Friendly
5)Intelligent
6)Caring
7)Funny
8)Unpredictable
9)Organized
10)Trustworthy :)
The conclusion I make from this Venn Diagram is that me and David aren't that different but we are different for sure. David and I are both moody and unpredictable, you never know when we will suddenly change our mood and be all grumpy or be angry than suddenly happy ( basically moodswings ) So that's why I say we are both unpredictable also because when I do something you never see it coming. Why I say we are different because David is agressive he is ready to fight if someone sais anything about him but I'm the kind of person who ignores these things and moves on.
@ everyone I have a question for everyone what "IS" normal?
ReplyDeleteIs normal what we call acting like ourselves? Is normal what we call us?
I think no one is normal everyone is unique!
David:

David: independent, ambitious, determined, athletic, active, courageous, angry, moody, keen, mindful
ReplyDeleteLisa: impatient, moody, helpful, doubtful, generous, athletic, intelligent, independent, determined, capable
I think that i am as complex as David is. We both have some simularities and some differences but I learned that he isn't that different from a "normal" person. We are all the same on the inside but in ways people cant see and thats why people see David so different and us as the "normal" ones. People act different around people who they think is not "normal" like David, thats why David saw something as an inslut when the teenagers made those hand motions.
