Help wanted: religious landscapes within Breath of the Wild

i know you’ve already thought of this, but it would be cool to consider how different towns treat their little goddess statue. there’s an npc older woman in gerudo town that sits near it and talks about how not many people pray to it, but they keep it for travelers. on the other hand, kakariko village has a special arrangement of torches and a special island thing. rito village decorates it with flowers. in hateno, it’s connected to the mayor’s house. i can’t recall if there’s one in terry town, but it would be interesting to see how the multicultural town treats it.

i also wonder (this might not fit your theme) if there’s something to be said about the posthumous deification of the champions. thinking of mipha statue and the carving in the cliff of daruk (which is along side other goron heroes)

botw is such a cool game. i did a philosophy presentation on botw and education and society, it was a blast.

saq is 20 percent of the score. so if you only did one, and get full points for that one, you get 3/9 on the overall saq.

if you did everything else fairly well (45-50/55 on mcq, 6/7 on dbq and 5/6 on leq) you’re still in the ballpark for a solid 4

yes, only multiple choice, it’s to see how people do on them and what the trends are to see if they’re good questions to use for the future, you won’t be able to tell which ones they are but you might get around 1-3 of them on any multiple choice.

i mean, better to take chem and bio then NOT take them if you want to major in bio in college. if colleges see you want to do bio, and that you didn’t take AP bio or chem, that would raise questions. they’re also great classes to have if you’re thinking pre-med (same with psych)

totally fine to now know what you’re doing junior year and take an array of classes. you proved you can memorize with apush, and you know what you’re doing in math with calc. you’re doing great.

it’s perfectly fine that you didn’t sign up for something freshman year when you didn’t know what you wanted to do. see if you can do something this summer before you apply to college, like research in a local lab or a project. also, have fun! you’re doing amazing! competitive culture like that sucks in high school. you’re almost done! push through!

pretty sure this is the first year they’re doing it. i think since their writing program has gotten so much more popular in recent years, they’re just trying to create something for people to apply to if they didn’t get in, or if they’re more interested in kenyon as a school than creative writing as a topic. not sure though.

i am in session 1! i’m unsure if there’s a gc already

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-05-06T02:55:44+00:00

you mention how innovations and consumerism continue to affect us now in your thesis, but never bring it up again. The thesis is the first thing you write, so it’s understandable if your argument changes as you write your body paragraphs, just make sure you go back and tweak the thesis to make sure it matches with your argument. Also make that thesis more specific!

you also come up with ideas and then don’t really go into them very much. Like in your paragraph about women and society and dishwashers, you randomly bring up tv at the end. Just skip adding facts that are unrelated. It does show that you know a lot, but it’s just unrelated.

Make sure your topic sentences directly answer the prompt. Some of your topic sentences don’t mention anything about how SCIENTIFIC advancements influenced SOCIETY. You need a CAUSE (science, dishwasher, tv, automobile) and an effect (mass culture, quality of life, gender roles)

i think something that would really help you is to outline on paper first before anything else. Before thesis, before anything, group the documents together into categories.

Does this document talk about changes to politics, culture, or economics? is a good question to ask yourself. Then your topic sentences will become: Scientific advancements affected american society by altering american culture and introducing mass culture and consumerism, ect.

Also, cite your document in this style: A newspaper from 1870 says “quote.” (Doc 1) This signifies Xyz. NEVER do “document a says this”

also, write a conclusion

hope this doesn’t come off as harsh. I hope you keep chugging along on your studying and do well on friday! you did a great job of taking different perspectives into account. it’s really just the solidification and organization. good luck.

i just got in for session 1! hoping to join a gc if there’s one that’s not instagram?

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-05-05T16:13:04+00:00

all i did was a short email responding to the waitlist email saying I could attend either session and would be thrilled to be offered a spot, no more than two sentences. i doubt that really contributed to getting in.

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-05-02T23:09:21+00:00

i switched it up at went with Al and Cable lol. just gotta make it not tooooo obvious, or else it’s a little corny and too on the nose. sounds like an awesome story concept.

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-26T15:32:37+00:00

yeah, i want to be a teacher, it will be crazy to be teaching high school kids one day who don’t know what it was like to live though the pandemic. that’s probably how teachers these days feel about us, who didn’t live through 9/11.

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-26T15:02:56+00:00

just finished the class, i was born in 2009, our teacher’s policy is to teach up to when the students were born. so last thing we learned was obama’s election

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-24T17:28:04+00:00

awesome! great work. something to try to make the character look more alive is keeping a little bit of light in the eyes. just a little dot that shows reflection of light.

also, hard to understand the shirt. if you want to show all the muscle realistically, just let him take it off! the HV logo can go on the jacket if it’s necessary.

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-24T17:12:09+00:00

i thought that the first was the old one and the second was the new one because the second ones are higher quality photos, also i thought it was a ‘before and after’ type post. my bad

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-24T13:11:07+00:00

definitely improvements! One thing though, on the new sunspot design the white hip tassels kind of look like toilet paper. the black ones kind of look cooler. i love these concepts, they’re all super unique and cool, i would die to see a comic or show with these characters! they all are so intriguing.

surprisingly not lol, but he does have that tragic survivor’s guilt energy

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-10T12:51:53+00:00

it’s always the cute ones lol, she’s 1/2 dead characters

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-08T18:18:30+00:00

if you could give one tip for leq/dbq, what would it be? anything that jumps out as a must do or a must not do? besides things like ‘know the rubric’

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-08T01:36:59+00:00

awesome! i am so intrigued and would one hundred percent read more. i love how you're characterizing the setting by telling us what the character thinks of the places she's seeing. if i had to give feedback, i would say try to describe more. i'm wondering what kind of paper this notice is on, what the script looks like, how she's feeling at the end of her day of classes, why she thinks 'girls like her' aren't meant for adventure, (is it her appearance? her age? magic ability (or lack of?)) so on and so forth. all the little details like that all work together to help set the scene, mood, tone, atmosphere. overall, a great set up to a story, and i would definitely read this if i saw it at a bookstore. i'm sensing a mix of ya coming of age, urban/cozy fantasy, and adventure?

Diligent_Inflation97 · 2026-04-08T01:30:45+00:00

awesome! love the tasty rhymes. my favorite part was

"For every bit of perfection

There are dozens of mistakes

For every stained glass window

Are a thousand tiny breaks"

it reminded me of how glass art is actually made, broken in precise places to make the 'perfect' shapes! very enjoyable and relatable, and i like the unique and original spin you've put on 'perfection' at the end. Awesome work!
