MY BIG QUESTION RESEARCH

Some people think research is boring because they have to do it for a class, and it’s usually about something that’s not interesting. But today I did research and it was awesome. Here’s how I did it. I first thought about an interesting question and that’s when I came up with the topic about “what causes sleep paralysis”. I have heard different people experience similar experiences when it comes to having sleep paralysis, but I thought to myself what caused it and why. So that’s when I reached it up, I used my phone, used safari, and google. Then I typed “what causes sleep paralysis” and I clicked on the livescience.com website. The website provided different categories on causes, symptoms, and treatment. I felt like this website was reliable because the website itself seemed professional, and so believe that sleep paralysis has to do with science.The cause of sleep paralysis is due to rapid eye movement known as REM. REM causes the brain into having vivid dreams, while the muscles of the body are turned off. While the person is sleeping the muscles are unable to move and the person is unable to act out their dreams with their own body. Sleep paralysis then takes place if or when the person wakes up before the REM is over. This then causes the person to be conscious, but their body’s ability to move won’t occur immediately. The symptoms of sleep paralysis is when the person is unable to move their body or unable to speak. This “can last one to two minutes, according to the Mayo Clinic.” Also people feel a certain weight on their chest or even a feeling of being choked.

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.

Brave New World Theme

From reading the book Brave New World the theme for me is loneliness. In the beginning we are introduced to Bernard, when we meet him he feels like he doesn’t fit in. He seems to be different from others and thinks differently than the people from the World State. People in the World State take soma and do sexual things in order to please themselves and others because they feel empty inside. John also feels out of place when he arrives to the World State that he wants to leave to the island.

I am GSD

As an independent learner I believe that it makes me understand a topic more. I can take as much time I want on a specific topic, without anyone telling me to rush my learning process. I feel like I can gather important information when I do my own research. When I become a independent learner it feels like it makes me more motivated and responsible as a person. It motivates me because I know what I need to improve on and I find ways to get better. It also makes me responsible because I know what I need to understand and how to increase my learning in anyway.
