Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

… oops just realised I forgot to bullet point one of the lists 

Since Sunday tours of James Talbot’s home, Casa Neverlandia in Austin, Texas, are currently not available b/c of the Pandemic, we can take a virtual tour. 

James is an artist who built this home, himself. I’ve heard. It’s still a work in progress. This is the living room looking toward the front of the home.

Simply, the Red Room.

James taking tourists through. The house is also on the Weird Homes Tour in Texas, but you can’t just show up, b/c it’s his private residence. 

Kitchen & breakfast nook. He uses a gray water system and people are surprised when they hear that it has no air conditioning. 

The Record Room.

The Photo Editing Room.

2nd story area.

The Master Bedroom.

The bathroom has a toilet, but James has been using a compost toilet in the back for years. This is a picture of it in progress.

3rd story area.

Sewing room.

Tile making studio.

Bead making studio.

General construction shop.

The Moon Tower in the backyard.

The reason I've been taught is the Jewish Temple being destroyed. It's like that Temple was destroyed, but the couple now has an obligation to create a spritual one in their home.

The explanation to balance the joy of the wedding, and add seriousness to the occasion I think is based on that. (There's a story in talmud where a rabbi saw the other rabbis there were too excitable so he smashed a really fancy cup and they shut up and chilled a bit.)

I can’t believe Into the Spiderverse casually made Peter Parker canonically Jewish. I feel valid in this chili’s tonight.
