![]() ![]() So, school isn't designed to make reading fun or to make you hate it. Analyzing themes and scenes in books requires more. Some people would whine about "maybe the author just meant things the curtains blue?" And that. Discussing them, dissecting them, taking them apart, and analyzing them. ![]() ![]() They're slow, exhausting, emotionally painful at times. I enjoyed reading Dark Tide about the Bostom Molasses Disaster. Or they don't understand that the enjoyment of somethings isn't measured in fun. Most of the time when I meet someone who hates readnig, its because they're bad at it. It’s the equivalent of looking at random splotches of paint on a canvas and charming $50k for it to someone who will say the random paint smears have some profound deep meaning. I found it it’s pretty much just random nonsense and the reader is supposed to just bullshit their way into thinking somethings deep when in reality it’s just bad storytelling. I said it in class and my teacher told me I was wrong. What’s worse, I even cheated and looked up what the author said a certain paragraph meant. I’m just sitting in class confused as hell. The sand on the fry represents corruption and Americans will gladly swallow that down because they are evil.” Americans are ruining France which is represented by the French fry. My teacher would go “this is a metaphor for how American capitalism is a danger to the French. It’s so pompous and the author, along with anyone who enjoyed it is so far up their own ass. Douche bag seagull is literally all metaphors. Worst book I’ve ever read, Jonathan Livingston seagull.ĭon’t get me wrong, books or movies with subtext and metaphors are good, but they have to be laid ontop of an actually interesting story. I don't remember ever meeting my quarterly goals once I got to middle school. I'm really glad we didn't have to do it in high school, and last month I heard from my art teacher whose husband works in the middle school that they're discontinuing A.R. Also my parents would actually force me to read whenever I was behind on my A.R.įor those who don't know A.R., it's a program where you had to read books within your reading level range and take quizzes on them to earn points. And I really hated spending a whole month reading in my own time a book from a teacher's classroom library only to find there was no A.R. I think it's something about being made to read rather than reading out of your own volition, and being assigned too much reading in a gicen amount of time. As someone who loves reading, I really fucking hated doing Accelerated Reader, and I either loved or hated the books we had to read as a class. Second-grade students will read chapter books, build scripts, and record their lines in the virtual recording studio in preparation for the big show in the Greek Theatre at the end of each lesson.I don't think it's intentionally designed that way (at least I hope not, I do believe literacy is very important), but the amount of reading they make us do definitely has that effect.

![]() Whenever you have a negative thought, redirect it to a more useful one. Just separating yourself from the thoughts and learning you are not the voice in your head can bring incredible changes to your life. Identifying with the thoughts gives them power, and forces you to believe that mental inner voice that sometimes is just like a bad friend. This will give you a great sense of power, letting you feel in charge of your thoughts. Meditation can help you do this since it teaches you how to focus on the present moment and whenever your mind wanders, to understand this fact and bring it back to the current moment. Identify when you are doing one thing and your mind is wandering, and bring it to the present moment. Ask yourself: “is it helpful to think this way/does it serve me?” or “am I being realistic?” This means challenging your thoughts, and not identifying yourself with them.įocus at one thing at a time, without thinking at too many things at the same time. Once you become aware of the ANT evaluate it and challenge it. Writing the thoughts down will help you recognize and ultimately, challenge them. Are you dwelling too much on the past? Remember, being aware of a problem is the first step in solving it. Look inside of your head and realize if you are you overthinking. How to challenge the never-ending cycle of automatic thoughts:ĭevelop the skill of identifying and listening to the negative messages you give to yourself. Taking responsibility for something that is not your fault, or seeing yourself as the cause of a negative event that has nothing to do with you. Language also includes “must” and “ought”. This often results in feeling guilty because you haven’t achieved what you “should” have. Having unrealistic expectations of yourself and others, and being rigid in your thinking. Whenever you encounter a stimulus that is related to a past negative experience, you will jump to conclusion that something bad will happen to you, without checking all the facts of the likelihood of this event to happen. Rejecting positive experiences and maintaining a negative belief even though it is contradicted by everyday experiences, or not enjoying a positive experience due to the belief that something bad will happen right away. When it comes to reality, everything comes in different shades and being realistic of the good and bad sides of a situation can be a real help of not overgeneralizing the events (if something bad happens, you tend to generalize saying everything goes wrong). Seeing things in black and white, a habit that usually turns out wrong. Negative automatic thoughts can hide under different truths we are telling ourselves, such as: The main goal of Cognitive Behavior Therapy is to help you break out of this vicious circle by helping you develop the skills in dealing with these negative automatic thoughts.Īutomatic thoughts can be positive (realistic, goal-oriented) or negative (distorted, unproductive and work against us achieving our goals) that can really turn any sort of situation into a negative one. ![]() For example, the more depressed you become the more automatic negative thoughts you have, which only makes you feel more depressed. ![]() These thoughts can trap you in a vicious circle and make you believe you are doomed to always feel this way. If we let them control us, thoughts can lead to anxiety, anger, depression, guilt, and hopelessness, and influence our overall well-being and the way we interpret everything that happens in our lives. ![]() Irrational thoughts lead to dysfunctional negative emotions that can be toxic and can affect the way we live. Thoughts influence our emotions, feelings, and behaviors. Have you ever realized you tend to see things in black or white, focus too much on negative or past events, compare yourself with others, and conclude this doesn’t bring you any benefits? If so, this is one of the situations where you might be caught up in the negative cycle of automatic thoughts.

Watch the Queen: You should always steer clear of the Queen of Spades, as it carries a significant 13-point value.Strategic passing: By getting rid of your high-ranking cards in the card-passing stage of the game, particularly high Hearts and Spades, you will avoid taking any unwanted tricks.Dump a suit: By getting rid of all your cards from one suit (excluding Hearts) as soon as possible, you ensure that you can play your Hearts cards whenever that suit is played, giving other players points.Avoid early points: Avoiding points in the early rounds keeps your score low and puts the pressure on your opponents.Let’s investigate some of these strategies in more detail: There are tactics available that will allow you to outmaneuver your opponents, including making sure they accrue early points and even card counting. To master the game of Hearts, you will need strategy and insight. Once this occurs, Hearts cards can be played in all future tricks. "Breaking Hearts" refers to the moment in the game when a Hearts card is first played. Starting with a Heart is only allowed if you have no other suits in your hand.Starting with a Heart is prohibited until someone has 'broken hearts.'.They cannot be played in the first trick.In order to play a Hearts card or the Queen of Spades, the following requirements must be met: The player who plays the highest-ranking card wins the trick and subsequently leads the next trick. For instance, if a player leads with a spade card, all other players must also play a spade card if they have one. The rest of the players must follow suit, unless they cannot, in which case they can play a new suit. In the fourth round, cards are not passed to other players.Įvery round begins with the player holding the 2 of Clubs playing first.In round three, cards are transferred to the player directly across from you.During the second round, you pass your cards to the player positioned on your right.In round one, cards are passed to the player on the left.Here are the different dealing directions per round: In the fourth round, no cards are exchanged, and in the fifth round, the passing direction resets. The direction in which cards are passed varies across the first three rounds, indicated by the presence of a yellow arrow in the game. As the game progresses, players must exchange three cards with one player and simultaneously receive three cards from a different player again. Dealing and PlayingĪt the start of the Hearts game, every player receives a total of 13 cards. If successfully executed, the player who shoots the moon scores 0 points, while each of the other players are given 26 points, which can dramatically alter the standings. ![]() ![]() This strategy involves a player's deliberate attempt to gather all the Hearts cards and the Queen of Spades. An intriguing rule known as “Shooting the Moon” is also in play. Therefore, the objective is to avoid penalty cards, which give you points-specifically the Hearts cards, each carrying a value of 1 point, and the Queen of Spades, which incurs a hefty 13 points. As we know, the player who achieves the lowest score is the winner. The primary goal of the game is to minimize the collection of penalty points. The hearts game ends when someone reaches or exceeds 100 points, and whoever has the lowest score at that point is the winner. The game employs a traditional French deck comprising 52 cards, where the Ace carries the highest value and the 2 holds the lowest. This individual game involves four players, each playing independently. Hearts distinguishes itself from most other card games by emphasizing a unique objective: rather than striving for the highest score, players aim to achieve the lowest. ![]() ![]() ![]()
