FIRST IMPRESSION OF A DREAM

Today, in my English class I read a poem called "Dream within a Dream." It talked about whether  the things in real life are really real. To be honest, I came cross this topic before. I don't really know what to believe because there is no real solid evidence that proves, we are really dreaming. Or if this is really real.  This poem really made me think about life. If this is something I am really experiencing. Or this is sending fake images to my brain while my body still laying unconscious somewhere.

MY ESSAY ESSAY

As we read the story"Young Goodman Brown." It talked about a young man named Brown, going for a walk in the night. Before he started to go on the walk he said goodbye to his wife named Faith. He walked in to the forest. He saw a old man that looked very familiar to him.  The old man started to say things about Brown's family members. How that helped him do bad things. Brown couldn't believe it. The old man started to talk, about the other people in his village. As the old the man told him  about the people he knew started to appear. Then one of the old lady said, " Devil."He couldn't believe what he heard. He started think about he bad things they done for the devil. He started calling them sinners. The devil started talking about his wife. He was so sure the that faith wouldn't commit such bad crimes.He saw his wife  wandering around the forest not believing his eyes.  He started shouting her name. He trying to reach her but it was to late. He saw his wife's pink ribbon. He got hold of the pink ribbon.Everything happened so fast, everything he saw disappeared. He got out of the forest and went back to the village. All the people he saw in the forest were acting like nothing every happened. He also saw his wife again. His wife came running to him and almost kiss him. Brown was lost soul.

 When I read the story and saw what happened

MY THESIS STATEMENT

You guys probably know, what a thesis statement means. If you guys don't know, it means the main idea or know as the topic of the subject. In my English class, we were asked what the main point is in an essay. To me it means getting the point across to the readers. In the last posts, I been writing comments about a story called 'Young Goodman Brown.' For this story writing a prompt would be easy because it will be easier for us to write an essay. Prompt means focusing on the topic but being asked question related to the topic too.

READ TALK UNDERSTAND

Today, in my English class we read an essay that my teacher called Dr. Preston wrote. He wrote about how students felt about writing a essay based, on the information he collected from each of his classes. The way he wrote about how the teachers looked at us when we say, " it's so hard, we don't have a lot of time, and it's stressful writing an essay." The way Dr. Preston  explained to us that writing an essay is not really about stressing and not doing it. He told us that essay stands for trying. He said that as long as you are writing the essay that's trying. I found it so interesting. It kind of changed the way I look at essay now.

YOUNG OLD GOOD BAD

In my English class we read a story called 'Young Goodman Brown.' We were asked what  the intention of the author was by writing the story this way. I think he was telling us that sometimes we shouldn't completely trust the people we know. I think the reason why Stephen King was affected by this story was because he was shocked, that all the people he trusted might not be who they really are. Our minds can be really powerful into tricking us in believing something that's not real. Sometimes we can't really know a person that well. Not many people are willing to show us their true side. 

YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN

Today, I read a story called ' Young Goodman Brown' in class.  We were asked to answer some  questions. I think the reason Hawthorne wrote 'Young Goodman Brown,' is to tell us that not all people are who you really think they are. The name of Brown's wife fit who she is. She seems like a really caring character just the way the author described her. I also think that Brown really believes in her. He thinks that she wouldn't do any thing that is evil or worship the devil. He truly believed her from his heart. In my opinion the pink ribbon that the wife always used to wear represents the wife's pure soul. As we read through the story Brown was surround by people he trusted. He found out that all of them did something evil and worshiped the devil.He was in the forest with the people he knew but as time passing everything was shocking him. In the next moment he was all alone by himself. As he got out of the forest he saw the people  but all of the them acted like nothing ever happened. He was confused. I was too, so I think that all of that was part of a dream. The old man that led him through the forest was the devil himself. According to the author, "The devil!" screamed the pious old lady." He gave us a big hit when the old lady saw the old man and his staff. The staff that the old man or so called devil carried. It represents the way Brown is. I think he is twisted inside but he just doesn't accept who he really is.  If he never left faith in the beginning he wouldn't have know that the people he cared, for worshiped the devil even his wife. He would have trusted his fellow townspeople and his wife.

Literature Analysis #1

The book is called 'Just Mercy' by Bryan Stevenson.It was based on real life story. It was about a lawyer who helped criminals that were falsely accused get out of prison. He later set up a program just for the people who were falsely accused. It was called the Equal Justice Initiative. In the book it talked about many people but it mainly focused on Walter McMillan. He was put on the death row. The theme was about having justice. The author who wrote the book, is the lawyer in book. I think he the type to wake early, get a cup of coffee, and leave early to get to work.The author used  characterization for the rich people and how they treat the poor. He says the rich disfavors, accuses and condemns the poor ones. Bryan said, "Each one of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done.We all need mercy, we all need justice."The symbol he always uses is mercy. He keeps talking about, how we all need mercy sometimes. That's how, we are going to survive.

THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE

So, today I will be talking about communications on online and security. Today, I was recommend to get proton emo for better security. So the conversation I would have, would be better protected from other people. Also when we talk too people, you want people to understand what you are saying. You want to have better communication with the people. So, when we post we things online you always try to check your grammar because you are talking to people that you really don't know.

SO THIS GUY GOES FOR A WALK

I found 'Young Goodman Brown' interesting because it's similar to Adam and Eve. The way the author uses the snake in this story. It's weird how they use the name of the wife to represent a another meaning. The way he uses it is, like having faith in someone thinking they wouldn't do anything wrong. I also think the place it takes place in is so creep.

FOR THE WIN

Today we were told to write about something we were proud of. There is one thing in mind but i am not sure it if counts because I didn't do it good enough.The thing I am proud of is that, I got the guts to audition for choir. So I had to sing in front of the class. I was nervous but I managed to sing. I was proud of myself because I didn't back out. Even though I didn't make it, I was proud. It was something I never really thought I would be able to do.

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS

Time management is really something hard to do. I feel that people suffer from this and lose time to sleep. I am one of those people. When I start to do my homework I  do it for 2-3 hours and that just for one class.  I do this with my homework from each class. When I turned in the homework  I would get credit. For doing it  my grade doesn't go down but it doesn't make my grade go up by a lot either. I would get a stable grade letter. This also helps me have a better understanding of the problems I learned in class.

THE EARTH ON TURTLE'S BACK

Today in class we read a story called 'The Earth On Turtle's Back.' The story was very interesting. The way all the creatures were willing to help save the sky woman. I also found it interesting, the way the Naive Americans told the story. To make up a story to explain things they can't really explain. So they would tell stories on how they think the world was made.They kept the the story very interesting. They would also tell their kids and the kids would tell the story to their own kids. The way their parents told them the story.

TODAY I WAS THINKING

Today in class we were asked to think about what mindful means. I thought that mindful means being thoughtful of other people. Then, later we started to talk about concentration. Dr.Preston gave us time to meditate and let us get our thoughts' sorted out. So we can concentrate on the things we were talking about. It was really nice that we got time to tuck it away or let it be on pause for a moment.

I CARE ABOUT YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Today I want you guys to know that I am writing about wanting be understood. I want to talk about how slaves and the way the laws with for the color people. Most for people who are African american. The way they used the black codes to enslave African american.  Later on they gave human rights like the american. They were segregate. Would there was crimes they would imminently think the African american did it. They would put them in prison without any concrete evidence. The police could put them in prison because they can. So many African Americans were put in prison. They even put kids. There was stories where as black kid would be driving a car and the police stop him. The police ask him for his driver licence. So the kid reaches for his bag and tries to pull it out but the police thinks that he is pulling out a gun. So the police ends up shoot him. The police look through his big to try to get the big but just found the driver licence. They ended up killing him for no reason just because he was black they assumed he could be a killer.   

THE MAKING OF AN ESSAY

I feel that everyone has a hard time writing essays. Don't you? I have a hard time writing essays because I don't know how write out the ideas, I have in my mind out on a piece of paper. I also have a hard time with grammar. For me, writing essays hasn't been a good experience.  I also noticed that students really get stressed out because they would have to write a lot in a limited time. I hope that in the future all the teachers would consider giving us more time too write an essay.

THE FIRST FIFTY PAGES

I am reading a book called ‘Just Mercy’ by Bryan Stevenson. This book is so interesting so far. It’s talks about a young lawyer. Who had taken cases of people that were in wrongly accused of murder. He took this case about Walter McMillian. He took other cases before Walter McMillian. He talked about other two prisoners. One of the prisoners in prison were on the death row. He read the cases and one was executed. The another one was sentenced to death in prison. One got electrocuted. That person suffered so bad. The  execution was horrible because they didn’t do it right. They thought they set it up right but when it on. Only half of his body was burnt and the officers just found out they didn’t plug it in right . So they had to do it again. There was another case where they had to do three times before the prisoner died. That's what happen so far in the book. I hope you find this book interesting to read.

EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

Remix - is  transformation, combine, and copy
The first time I heard a remix was really cool. I also thought the animation for the video was really good. The way the combined different kind of animation together to make it into one was very cool. I found it really fascinating how they combined two different artist and actually make it sound nice. I also feel that the animation in the video really showed what it needed too. I find remixes kind of nice to listen too. I hope other people kind of like it too.

HOW I READ

I really enjoy reading books. I hope others do too. My experience in reading has been great so far. I like reading books that involves crimes and the laws. I also enjoy reading books that have comedy and romance. I really enjoy reading books that involves the laws because in some books, it shows how badly the the system works. Whether people tried to justify what is really right or wrong. Or let people go to jail for something they have been wrongly accused of. Or see if people really want to change how the law works. That’s what I find interesting about books that are related to the laws.

NOW I REMEBER

How do we remember things? To be honest, I don't really know. People have many ways of remembering things. The way I remember is by reciting  little parts of a poem or numbers for couple of times. Then doing the same thing over and over. In till, I remember the things I need too. Just like playing a song you like over and over. After some time you know the lyric's to the song.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

The experience I had in this class was fun. I found out some interesting things about certain people. I found out that there was a person that put, their milk first in the their bowl and then they put the cereal. There was another person that likes watches. I got to know things I never knew about them too. They also got know something about me too. I felt that the treasure hunt was a good experience because you go, around and ask people if they it's about them. It makes them talk to other people they would never really talk to. So this would make them social with each other.
