Short Stories

      The three short stories I read were "Hills like white elephants" by Ernest Hemingway, "The sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty,  "Occurrence at Owl Creek"by Ambrose Bierce. I chose to  do the sniper beacuse i thought that it had a literacy trait that was important. This literacy trait is setting.

       I think that this is an important trait because if we weren't in this area we would didn't have this brother vs. brother. The theme of this book is war can turn anyone against each other even Brothers.
I missed the day when we went over this in class and i am really confused about what exactly we are supposed to do. Though I get the basis.

Setting

    For the story of Harrison bourgeon the literary element of setting is one of the most important factor to the story. Though there is was little about where they actually were.There was a lot of social setting. This was extremely important to the story.

   This is true because if you didn't know that this place was meant to be equal then how would you know that HArrison was't just some jerk or that his father wasn't just some retard. SEe if you didn't know the setting then you would have never known that those people were created like that. You would have thought that they were just stupid and mean.

My Goal For Next Quarter

    I think that my participation this quarter was fairly good. I took notes during all of the lectures that Dr.D  give in class. I missed few homework assignments. I follow through with most if not all of the providers we were required to do. But i do have room to improve like everyone always does.

    This upcoming quarter it is my own personal  goal to become a bit more organized with all of my materials. To achieve this I must completely empty out my binder. Then put all of the documents back i some order. Wether it be  in chronological or  any other order. But that is my goal to have a more organized.

What Powers Would You Have?

        When you were young you probably watched movies about super heroes.  And you probably got asked if you could have a power  what would it be. Well in the book I am reading The Power of Six which has many moments surrounding around powers. As i am reading sometimes I go back in time and ask myself that childish question.

         What power would I have, when you think about it this question it is probably one of the smartest question a four year old boy can come up with. thIs question actually revels the inner most being. The  power that I would want would be is being able tho breath under water. Because I  have never  been able to swim well this would allow me to swim quickly.

Writing NOW

        My life as a writer is now this year has become a lot more involved than in previous years. These blogging assignments are the main cause of this influx of  writing. I truly believe that this influx may help me improve my writing capabilities. For in the moment I am not the most advanced in literacy.

         In the moment and in the past few year I have begun to realize that I am a writer who doesn't correct my writing well. I am a person who thinks that their writing is just fine the way it is. But as a future goal I and going to get better. I will begin to realize my mistakes. I will fix my grammar problems.
