Daily Design Journal #5
Day 5: Today was the testing day for our bridges. Our bridge withstood 2000 grams which was much more than we expected it to hold. We also had to finish our daily journals and hand in our sketches today. I have also now finished my good structures report for Friday. Things that I would like to get done for tomorrow is to get my reflection done or to at least start the reflection.

War Horse Joey's Side
I have entered a mysterious boat where I am being taken to another country. My new rider is a very friendly person except the other humans on the ship don't treat them like he does to me. The journey is making some of the people on the boat nervous and sick. I wish I could go home but it is too late now. I am in for a long night. We finally reach some sort of battlefield. People are falling off of other horses and they are spurting a red liquid from their body. I see people falling on the ground all around me. Then, my rider gets hit with a small metal object and falls off me. I am alone in a war zone.

"Harrison Bergeron" Response
1. How does the story make you feel?
This story makes me feel very confused and questioned. I think this because of the system that the people of this society are using to create equality even though things in the story are not equal at all. For instance, people are dying because people are trying to make things better and more equal for this society. In conclusion, this is why I feel very confused and questioned.
2. Is everyone equal in the society described in the story? If so how was equality achieved? If not, why?
I believe that equality was and was not achieved in this story. It was achieved because intelligent people had to put a supressor on so that everybody's intelligence was equal and there were weights on peoples body because people were either stronger and taller than the average person. Although, equality was also not achieved because the people who invented the "handicaps" as they were called and the weights that were put on people do not have those items on them even though they are obviously smarter than the average person. This is why I think why equality was and was not achieved.
3. Who has the power and how is that power assured?
The person in this story who has the power is the Handicapper General who is named Diana Moon Glampers. She has the power because she has created all the weights and the handicaps for everybody in the society for the people who had more talent than others. This power is assured because the intelligent people cannot think long enough without the handicaps buzzing in their ears to do anything about the situation. This is why I think Diana Moon Glampers has the people an that is also why I think the power is assured.

Daily Journal Grasp Task
Day 7:
I just wanted to let everybody know that I was sick for 2 days so this for me is only day 5. Except today I upgraded my mine and built a farm for our digital model in Minecraft. We got 2 animals, 1 cow and 1 sheep. We figured out how to make sheers so we sheered the wool of of the sheep. I also finished my input/ output chart today which is a great relief off my back. Some things that I would like to get done for tomorrow is to breed more cows and capture more animals for our barn, go deeper into my mine and fine more natural resources, and I need to farm more wheat for food.
