RECOLLECTIONS FOR THE FUTURE

This blog thing is neat! Maybe in a couple years I will look back at this blog and reminisce about these days. This semester is 5 days away from wrapping up so I have got to hold on just a little longer. I have learned a lot from my classes and how to survive my classes. This year was really busy for me. I learned to manage my time better and found some more intrinsic motivation to really step up with my grades. Usually the first semester of the school year is always harder so I am going into the second semester confident. With my writing in this class I have learned a lot. With using literary devices and doing a pre-write for my essay. Analyzing a poem or an essay is actually fun. The worl to come next semester and the prepping for AP tests should be fun.

SOME KETCHUP WORK

I never posted my presentation notes because really I should have just typed them. I took the best notes I could so don't judge me or my penmanship.

SOMETHING INTERESTING

I hate time. Time just seems to ebb on by with no concern of others. We can only live our lives by going by and reminiscing about the past. It sucks but when we look back a couple of years we see how great it was but back then we did not know. These days I can only assume that all my days are going to be seen with deep nostalgia from me. I know when I am in college I will be thinking about the good old days of high school. The only cure for this is to be grateful now and just be happy about it later. I get nostalgic now and look back when I was in elementary and mess around with my cousins. My solution to that was I spend a lot of time with my cousins and every weekend we just have fun. Time sucks but we can't do anything about it.

A quote from one of my favorite shows.

JIMMY SANTIAGO

Today in class i analyzed the poem some more. I read Jessica's blog and i agreed with most of it but there were some things I didn't agree with.
TONE- The tone is very clear that at first he looks at the hopeful side of things. He sees that before coming here there is a lot of hope in people. In the end he has described us the harsh reality of what really happens.
THEME- The hard truth about the "opportunities" America has to offer.
