Winnie the Pooh Character Quiz

Today, we were asked to determine which “Winnie the Pooh” character we are most like. After reading the descriptions of the “Winnie the Pooh” characters, I think I am most like Piglet. I am often quiet and a little shy, especially in new situations. I also believe that I am good at problem solving like Piglet. If I encounter a problem, I usually try to think of multiple solutions to the issue and choose the most logical one.

 

I took a quiz to determine which “Winnie the Pooh” character I am most like. My results are below:

 

You are Winnie the Pooh. Oh, bother. You are sweet, simple, and popular for your honesty and goodwill. Though you may be the biggest personality in the woods, you sometimes need the help of others in the brains department!

 

I believe that the quiz determined me to be more like Pooh than Piglet because my decisions were interpreted differently than I intended them to be. For example, one of the questions asked what I would do if I were served a type of soup that I do not like by a friend. I chose that I would eat the soup. I believe the quiz interpreted this response to mean that I was acting in hopes of being viewed as “sweet” and “popular”. It also may have reasoned that I was not acting in a very smart way because I did not stand up for myself by refusing the soup. When I responded to the question, I chose that answer because I value my friendship more than offending a good friend over a dislike. I would interpret my actions as choosing the best solution to honor my friendship, even if it meant that I had to eat soup that I did not like. The quiz interpreted some of my answers differently than I meant them to be.

 

The two results were also different because of the nature of the questions in the quiz. I found some of the questions difficult to answer because they did not apply to my life or personality. One question referred to throwing a big party when my parents were not home. I would not throw a party in the first place, so this made the question hard to answer. I would also not cancel a party at the last minute because it would be rude to the guests who were planning to attend. Though I would rather babysit as the question offered, I would not cancel a party on short notice because it is not proper etiquette. Some of the questions in the quiz did not offer answers that I would realistically choose, changing my results.

 

Though I do not agree that Winnie the Pooh and I are exactly matched, I can understand why the quiz determined us to be similar. It is an interesting concept to imagine being a character from the well-known story.

Class Update: 1/16 & 1/17

It is a day 3 today, but we have not had classes the past two days due to midterms. We have the history midterm tomorrow.

Class Update: 1/14 &1/15

The past two days in class, we have been reviewing for the midterm exam. We received a study guide. After covering any questions about the format of the exam, we reviewed independently. The exam will be on Friday, and we will not have regular classes again until next week.

Class Update: 1/9 & 1/10

Yesterday, we took a test on the Civil War.

Today, our Commitment to a Cause projects were due. We presented them in the library during D and C periods. It was interesting to see what our classmates are passionate about. Almost everyone who watched our video enjoyed it and took a flyer as well. The only problem was that the computer froze during our video and it was difficult to hear the audio in the noisy library. I thought this project was a fun way to connect English and History to real life.

In class today, we began studying for the midterm. We received review sheets and asked questions about the format of the test. We will be reviewing for the midterm over the next week.

Class Update: 1/7 & 1/8

Yesterday, we took a quiz on memorizing a section of the Gettysburg Address. After that, we took notes on the Anaconda Plan, and how the Union was using that to slowly take control of the Confederacy again. General Sherman marched Union troops to Georgia, using a policy of "total war" along the way, which meant that his army destroyed all resources that could be of help to the Confederacy. I do not agree with the policy of total war because the Union destroyed the part of the country that they were hoping to take back. I don't think this would make the Confederacy eager to join the Union again.

Today, we took notes on the end of the war. Confederate General Lee surrendered to Union General Grant at the Appomattox Court House, returning the Confederate states to the Union. This meant that the country would now have to figure out how to rebuild itself, especially in the South. The US may have experienced irreversible losses, but ultimately gained "Liberty to all," as was Lincoln's goal.

Class Update: 1/3 &1/4

Yesterday, we discussed the Emancipation Proclamation. Since it only freed slaves in border states in hopes of strengthening the Union army, some believe that it is not truly an important document. We also read a blog post about this idea, in which the author discussed the different views. I agree that the document was not as important as some think, because it only freed some slaves. We also read the Gettysburg Address, which called soldiers to continue fighting for rights for all, even though the battle was difficult. Both documents demonstrated President Lincoln's goal of "Liberty to all."

Today, we analyzed a sculpture of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, which commemorated the first African-American only regiment in the Civil War. After the Emancipation Proclamation, 186,000 African-American soldiers enlisted over the remainder of the war, accounting for the numbers the Union needed. The 54th Regiment attempted to capture Fort Wagner in the Charleston Harbor under the leadership of General Shaw. Though they failed at the hand-to-hand combat, it brought a new view of African-American soldiers and encouraged other African-American soldiers to enlist. As can be seen by these two documents, both greatly affected the Civil War.

Class Update: 12/20 & 12/21

On Thursday, we researched the Battle of Vicksburg. The battle was fought near the Mississippi River between the Union and the Confederacy. The Union wanted control of the river for transportation and so they would control the economy. After losing multiple times while trying to break into the city, the Union eventually laid siege to Vicksburg. Life became difficult for Confederate soldiers and citizens, and they eventually surrendered. The battle affected the result of the war by giving the Union a major advantage in the control of the Mississippi River. We then created a "billboard sign" about the battle explaining its importance.

Today, I was performing in the in-school concert and did not attend class. We have a writing assignment due tonight, though.
