GOAL

: the magnitude of a vector AB is the distance from the initial point A to the terminal point B and is written AB

:the direction of a vector is determined by the angle it makes with a horizontal line.

: Two vectors are equal if they have he same magnitude and direction.

:Two vectors are parallel if they have the same of opposite directions.

Sum Of Two Vectors

The sum of two vectors of u = { a1, b1} and v={a2, b2} is u+v= {a1+a2,b1+b2}.

OUTGOING

A word that defines me

DEFINITION:outgoing (FRIENDLY) Show phoneticsadjective APPROVING(of a person) friendly and energetic and finding it easy and enjoyable to be with others:

My definition: Having fun careless of what anyone thinks of you. Live your lives the to the maxi mu.

This word I would say describes me. I believe that i am a very OUTGOING person. When my friends and I hang out we always enjoy our self, it does not matter what we are doing. I am basically up for anything in the world, shoot i am going to eventually die one day. I don't want to grow old and say " i wish i would have done that when i was young. The way i see it we were placed on this earth to basically live out our life's. Why waste time when you can go out there and see what there is to see, do things that are meant for you to do? If you live your whole life based on what people say or what they think about you or you live your life based on your fears then you well never experience life to the maximum. So for every one that is out there live your life to the fullest, with out fear, and without concern of what other people have to say. =D

MS.Found in a bottle

ONE POE READER RESPONSE

There was a man who spent his years traveling. He set out as a passenger on a ship bond out as a Archipelago islands. In the begging the voyage went well. Several days later the weather started changing. The man seemed disturbed by the sudden calmness. The captain paid no attention when the man expressed concern. The man could not sleep so he went on the deck. He then heard an odd humming sound. Suddenly, the ship was rocked by a huge wave. After the blast the man noticed that only him and Swede had survived. Everyone else including the captain had been washed over board. For five days the man and swede were swept along by strong winds. On the sixth day the sun never rose. At bottom of a abyss they saw a red glow. A gigantic ship was over them. It hurled them on top of the ship. The ship is then sucked into a whirlpool, and they go down. This account was the message found in the bottle. One part of the story that was memorable was when he was describing the odd weather. The one line that represents the story is " The extreme fury of the blast proved, in a great measure. Th e salvation of the ship. In this story the character is not described physically. The story describes the characters emotion and the way he is. During the length of the years he has driven himself from one and estranged me form the other. Hereditary wealth helped him get a very good education. There is one major phrase in the story that represents the character. That one phrase is on (Pg.160). It is located in the first paragraph. The phrase says ," Of my country and of my family I have little to say. Ill usage and length of years have driven me from the one, and estranged me from the other. Hereditary wealth afforded me and education of no common order, and a contemplative turn of mind enabled me to methods the stories which early study very diligently garnet up." As you can see that phrase shows how the character mindset, dedicated to the truth and impervious to superstition. In my opinion fear is what motivated him to do what he did. In the story is says that he had fear, and incurred his mind with a very common error of this age. I will have many famous people to star in my film"Ms. Found in a Bottle ." The one star I well have play the part of the main character well be John Travolta. The reason I well pick the main character as John Travolta is because he is a very good actor. Also because he looks good in tight jeans. Another important character would be Johny Dept. He would be the actor for the caption of the ship of which John Travolta is on. Orlando Bloom would be the character of Swede. The character Swede And the narrator are the only survivors. The other actors would be the ones from the movie pirates of the Caribbean, the crew in the book. I think that the crew form the movie Pirate of the Caribbean is a perfect fit for the crew in the book. Johny Dept is already captain of the Black Pearl in the movie. He would be a perfect captain for the one in the story. Orlando Bloom in pirate movie survives any Little thing. So he would be a good actor as Swede because Swede survived the crash. Also because Orlando is cute. I will leave out how the narrator did not talk to his family. I will add how the crew from the other shipped looked like.

IM going to CICIS PIZZA!!! yea
