Assignment #5 Miles

1)For me, I felt that writing a personal essay was one of the most challenging and interesting things I’ve done this year. It was challenging in the fact you had to find a story in your life and put a theme to that story without just saying it. I found doing that extremely hard so I had to find my own way to "Get Her Done". I enjoyed the fact that it was telling a real life story in short story format. I can’t name any weakness with the genre. I can only tell you what my weakness are that how they don’t fit the mold of what is need to write a personal essay. It compares to fiction in that if you didn’t know that the story was a true story did reads exactly like fiction. Would I ever voluntarily tackle it again? Only if I had a good story to tell other then that no, I wouldn’t.

2)Learning how to read is like learning how to walk. And once you have learned how to walk, the vast world is open to you and your mobility. Just like when you learn how to read. Without knowing how to read, how much you write? None. Someone can learn how to walk and never run but no one can ever learn how to run without learning how to walk. After learning how to read you now are able to use your “Reading Mobility” to explore the vast literacy world. Now one can learn how to write what they feel others should read.

3)
What is your favorite piece that you've written? Talk about why it's your favorite piece.

My favorite piece of the year has to be “Did I every Say Thank You” I had a lot of fun writing it and it was the most creative thing I personally think I’ve written this year. I like it because of how it was told. Having the End of the story is the beginning and the end explains the beginning was to “Sweet.” Also the use of foreshadow was fun.

Assignment #4 Miles

1. One principle what guides my life is Family. I value having strong ties with my family. My family has made the largest impact on my life and I need them in order to make it through each and everyday. Life lessons I’ve learned came from their teachings. With the life lessons they taught me I am able to learn from life experiences without falling into the traps of the world. Without my family I don’t think would be who I am today. Having them around has been a blessing because of how hard life can get.

2. An event that made me think was the Vtech shootings. Just thinking about what could drive someone to that point. That point where you don’t care not only about your life but you decided you have a need in killing other people because of the pain you are in. The human mind and all it emotions interest me. After hearing about the Vtech shooting a sat because and thought about what kind of mind set someone would have to be to take some ones life. I also thought how can a person just get up on day and kill random people that they have never met. It made me sad to think about how much hate is in the world we live in today.

3.I don’t really set goal at the start of the year. The goals I have are life goals to do some thing worth while with my life and hopefully become something hopefully. If you want to honestly pick a goal I have for this yea (2008) is to graduate and head off to college. Not say I’m not going to graduate. Ha, maybe I might not you never know what can happen in life. Another small goal I have is to do well in math, but that has been my goal for a long time not just starting now.
