Graphing Yourself

Suppose you were to graph yourself on the coordinate plane, just like Tess graphs Lucia.  
As we discussed in class, none of us would have all positive points.  
What is one characteristic you would identify within your "Quadrant I" (positive x, positive y), and what is one characteristic you would identify within your "Quadrant III" (negative x, negative y)?
Expressed differently: what is one of your strengths, and what is one of your weaknesses?

A Bully?

Do you consider Richard's actions toward Tess to be bullying?  Defend your response, and include within your reaction an explanation of what "bullying" means to you.
If you were Tess, how would you respond to Richard?

The Writing on the Wall: Patterns

Why does Tess say that people have patterns? 

Are there patterns at Davenport A+?  What are they?

Are there patterns in other aspects of your life?  What are they?

Why do you think some parts of your life are predictable and follow patterns, while some parts are harder to predict and order?
