Journal May 19

Invent a magic spell.  Explain what it does, why you wrote it, and how it makes the world a better place. 

- If i where to invent a magic spell it would be a spell that will give you the power of different views. If you were to get this spell cast on you it would help you understand the other persons view. Whether it may be from personal opinion or why someone in a higher power did a certain thing. It will help the worlds be a better place because it will help the other person have more of an insightful opinion on the argument in question. For example if we where at war or something and the president made a certain decision that not everyone agreed with, then you could cast the spell on everyone and they would be able to understand why they did what they did and there would be less controversy.

Journal May 18

Wave your mental magic wand and imagine the next three weeks as valuable, unforgettable learning.  What do you expect from the Masterpiece Academy and how can you contribute to making it the experience you envision?

- There are many things that i expect form the masterpiece academy. Almost everyone has something different and it is a unique experience seeing all the work everyone has put into it. I can contribute by taking everyone else's opinions and views on things and incorporating them with mine. Seeing everyone's views on things can help other people realize what they want to do or can help them with there masterpiece.
