Out of the three previous author researchings we’ve done, number 3 seemed the hardest because of the quotations. For instance, take this quote I got from Ta-Nehisi Coates, which was “On weekends… there might be different combinations of kids.” I didn’t really understand what it meant, I thought it meant different behaviors of kids. Choosing a type of quotation can be difficult, if your trying to find the one that matches with the topic the most. The point is, there are many authors with many different quotes, but it can be hard to find the perfect one.

My topic sentence is about idea. An idea is something where we think about and we try to executie like for example if we are thinking about something then we executive it that is an idea. Another example is this quote that I have found it states "Everything Begins With An Idea." – Earl Nightengale. A idea is like are technology like for example it was an idea that was executive and it keeps getting more advanced and advanced so it keeps improving and again it was just an idea. The sorce I found the quote from is https://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/my-top-10-quotes-ideas. All ideas are just thought that become more advanced over time and then eventually become realistic, and ideas become so advanced that it changes the life of people.

I watched a video on the youtube channel Great Big Story. It was called I Can't Taste Anything. It is about a guy named Adrian Wellock who has lost his sense of taste, "I describe it as having bubble gum and once it's lost all its flavor you just have a piece of rubber that you chew over and over again, that is essentially what food is like for me..." He had a cold and started getting a metallic taste in his mouth and when the cold left it took his sense of taste with it. He only eats foods that go through his mouth fast. He uses herbs and spices to make it more enjoyable because he can still smell perfectly fine.

Paulo Coelho is an author and talented novelist. He was born on August 24, 1947. When he was a teenager in Jesuit school, he knew he wanted to be a writer. Later on, when he told his parents he wanted to be a writer, they were very disappointed and discouraged him against it. After that his parents forced him to attend law school but he dropped out after a year. Because of his rebellious behavior, his parents enrolled him into a mental institution and he was released at age 20. He became a hippie, travelled, and started to use drugs. He became a songwriter and wrote lyrics for famous people. Shortly after that, he was arrested for writing ‘dangerous’ lyrics and was released a year later. In 1986, he walked the Road of Santiago de Compstela and this changed his life. This spiritual awakening pushed him to become a writer. His most famous book, The Alchemist, has sold over 35 million copies. His desire to be a writer was strong. He said ‘I was very happy in the things I was doing. I was doing something that gave me food and water – to use the metaphor in The Alchemist, I was working, I had a person whom I loved, I had money, but I was not fulfilling my dream. My dream was, and still is, to be a writer.’ In conclusion, Paulo had a lot of ups and downs in his life, but he never gave up on being a writer.

It was about a young girl from Nepal who is sold by her step father to India. Sold is a book in verse. Some other books Patricia McCormick has publishes are I am Malala an award winning novel, Never Fall Down, Cut, and a couple more. The book Sold is about an important issue that is happening in our world. She helps bring this to surface and is bringing awareness to this issue. I am Malala is also an impactful book. It helps other girls and women earn confidence and help fight any problems they might be facing. She says, "The power of storytelling is to free us from isolation, shame and whatever the situation." I think this connects with me as I also read sometimes to free myself away from situations or problems.

The Spanish-Arabic scholar Averroes was born april 14,1126 in cordoba, also known as Ibn Rushd, was a leading philosopher of the Middle Ages. His commentaries on Aristotle became a major source for understanding the work of that thinker in the 13th and 14th centuries. Averroes was a strong proponent of Aristotelianism; he attempted to restore what he considered the original teachings of Aristotle and opposed the Noeplatonist tendencies of earlier Muslim thinkers, such as Al-Farabi and Avicenna. He also defended the pursuit of philosophy against criticism by Ashari theologians such as Al-Ghazali.

Harper Lee was an amazing writer a few amazing world famous books. One of her inspiring quotes from her book To Kill a Mockingbird, is “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view". I think what that means is you need to really get to know someone and understand them before you judge them. People need to not be so quick to judge others especially in this age. As a culture we naturally judge people that don't look the same or dress the same but ultimately everyone is the same value.

The Idea of love is one that is subjective, in its own right, it is exactly that, an idea, not a fact or an accomplishment. The reason I bring this up is because my research is on the same person as last weeks research, Robbie AKA Cavetown. He brings up a very good and odd outlook on love and the idea of being aromantic, That out look being that he would rather be "Upset that (he) cannot fall in love" than have to deal with the "stress of falling out of it". It is a very optimistic, in some senses, outlook on the idea of being aromantic, and he has said in a video that he thinks that "a lot of people think that romantic love and platonic love are very different. like romantic love is the step up, but romantic love and platonic love are on the same level they are just expressed differently." showing that he believes that being aro does not make you loveless, but it means you express love in different more platonic ways. Cavetown also shows that even if you are on the aro/ace spectrum it does not mean you have no chance at love, for instance he is on the aro/ace spectrum and he just started dating someone. In a nutshell being "in love" doesn't always mean romantically and there are a lot of different outlooks on love as a whole not just platonic or romantic So there is always a positive outlook on love no matter where on the aro/ace spectrum you stand.

This was not as widely accepted in the '60s and '70s as it is nowadays. He was also an activist who supported the Civil Right Movement.

People always show the stereotypical good and bad although there are different variations and sometimes there is no good or bad. "I want to show people how there are different variations of good and evil." That was a quote by Hideo Kojima there are different variations of good and evil. To us in the we think we are the good and the enemy is the bad, but to them it is the opposite. I think there is no good and bad, it's just an excuse to tell yourself your alignment to make it easier. Others look at us as the bad and make us their look bad, but we get mad when we do the same to them. I believe that the good and the bad is different depending on what side or view you look at it from.

Kendrick Lamar Duckworth was born in Compton, California, on June 17, 1987. Kendrick Lamar is a rapper that writes his own music. He is also a record producer. In his early writing and still now he would write about his childhood in compton and the things he went through. I think because of the things he writes about and how deep his writing can become is the reason people say he is one of the greatest writers in hip hop/rap. I believe he rightfully earned that title. He was a hard worker and never gave up. As he's said “When you give up it means you never wanted it.” I think that like most artists he’s had struggles in his career and even when that happened he never gave up. I think that's why a lot of people like him and/or look up to him.

Neil Gaiman is an english author who specializes in writing fantasy tales that frequently featured a darkly humorous tone. He has written many books and helped direct movies Watchmen, the Dark Knight returns and Sandman. He also has had many best book seller including Good Omens, Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods and Caroline. He also explores many deep themes in his books and one of his quotes include "What power would Hell have if those imprisoned there were not able to dream of Heaven?". Neil Gaiman is one of the most accomplished authors of the 20th century and he is still making good books, starting into the 21 century, I believe that he has made a very big impact of the way fantasy books are written. Without him, the world of fantasy books would be very different.

Misty Copeland is an ABT Principal dancer who joined ABT in 2000 as an apprentice. She was the first African American dancer to join the American ballet theater in the 75 years of abts history. She is an amazing dancer that inspires me because she was turned down from School of American Ballet because she was built too "muscular and didn't have the right body. But she defined all odds and was and still is an amazing dancer. " I knew that I just didn't have it in me to give up, even if I sometimes felt like a fool for continuing to believe." This quotes inspires me to do my best in dance even if I mess up or do bad, I I know I won't give up and quit.

Selena Quintanilla was an american singer, songwriter. Her primary language was English, but her father taught her how to sing in Spanish to resonate with the Latino community. Her music made her one of the most famous Tejano entertainers of the 90's. I used to listen to her when I was a kid. One of her quotes are “If you have a dream, don't let anybody take it away.” This quote really means a lot to me because it reminds me (and everybody else) to not let people get in your head.

Friends helps us deal with stress, make better lifestyle choices that keep us strong, and allow us to rebound from health issues and disease more quickly. Friendship is equally important to our mental health. One study even suggested spending time with positive friends actually changes our outlook for the better. As this person says "A good friend knows all your best stories, but a best friend has lived them with you." “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart.” “There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.”

What is the meaning of life? Many people ponder about it. Some people the answer is that we life is meant to be filled to the fullest. I believe it is meant to be spent by having fun and eating food. Goggle believes that it is 42. These all are - well, most of these- are valid. Brain Tracy once said "make your life a masterpiece; imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do." life should be spent any way you believe to be fulfilling. You should spend it in a way that makes you feel whole.
