I Learned Many Things From This Story Which Really Surprised Me. I Learned That Television Destroys Interest In Reading Literature . Also That It Came To A Point Were Reading Was Illegal ! And That Reading Books Always Tells You Something That You've Had Experience With And When You Read A Book Everyone Interprets It In A Totally Different Way Like For Example The Main Character Montag Read One Of The Book He Was Hiding To His Wife's Friend, Ms. Phelps & Ms. Bowles And Ms. Phelps Cryed After Hearing Poetry,  And Ms. Bowles Took It As An Insult, She Was Disgusted . That's Why Reading IS Good Because Not Only Is It A Benefit To Everyone But It Keeps You Away From Putting Your Mind In Something That Doesn't Help . (:

THEME FOR ENGLISH 3

I Think My Teachers Do Not Know Who I Really Am Because With Them I Am A Shy Quiet Girl, But With My Friends Or Family We Act Different In A Good Or Bad Way. I Don't Think I Can Be My Self As I Pursue Knowledge And Find My Place In The World.. At Least Not ALL Myself . A Talent That I Have That Can Enrich Learning For Me , That Helps Me , Is That I Love Doing My Own Nails And Being Creative And Doing Different Designs , I Can Use This In Learning By Thinking Of The Words CREATIVE And IMAGINATION It Takes Both To Find Learning Interesting In Our Daily Lives, This Way We Bring Creativity To Our Pictures, Presentations, etc. And Our Imagination We Use A Lot So When We Write Essays The Readers Find It Interesting To Read. What I Am Forced To Keep Private Is My Real Abilities To Do More Than Expected... My Role In Learning Is Actually To Do As Told And Demonstrate A Little More That Can Help In  A Very Efficient Way.

SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Yes Music Can Be Considered As Literature. We Define Literature As To Scratching & Scribbling It Is Based On Criteria Of Imaginative, Creative, Or Artistic Value. It Has Much To Do With The Real Life As Well As Your Imagination(: .I Honestly Say That There Is No Difference Between A Novel, poem, opera, symphony , or a rap because all of these were written and practiced and they all make a difference of everything on how we talk and think about.

LAQ's #2

GENERAL
1. My novel is called "Soldier's Heart" a fiction book. It was about a young boy named Charley Goddard who grew up in a small farm and enlisted in the First Minnesota Volunteers, he was barely 15 years old and he didn't really know what he was fighting for. Only that he didn't want to miss out on a great adventure. The shooting war as they called it meant horror of combat and the wild luck of survival. He saw things he wished he'd never seen, and wished he could be just back home but he stayed and never ran off. He was so used to the routine of the war that he was no longer scared as he was his first day of battle. He was just waiting for his turn to die, and when he got shot at his last battle he was sad but also happy that his time was over. Though he survived those shots he came back home different he couldn't hold off job's, his wounds didn't heal properly nor his mental anguish. He was elected for country clerk, but before he could serve his wounds and the stress took him and he died in December, 1868. He was only twenty-three years old.
2. The theme of this novel is about the boy Charley and his experience in the battle.
3. The author's tone is sad when he says "He sat, listening to the ripple of the river, watching the water go by, thinking of all the pretty things." definitively something that made me think. Also he was very regretful when he said "He was 21, just waiting to where he should be studying on marriage and raising some young ones.But it couldn't be that way no more."He was also very loving to his mother when he would say "He would write her letters every single day until there was nothing left of him."
 CHARACTERIZATION
1.DIRECT
- You don't know nothing as much as a slick-eared calf.
-He thought then realized he was screaming to them "Where's your damn yell now.?"
INDIRECT
-He started to hide himself, turn away
-Charley saw his partner dying and knew no one would come for help but didn't say nothing.
 My last impression of this character is that like every human being we all say things that were not afraid to say but then at time we quiet in order to not cause any misunderstandings.
2.The authors diction is actually always straight forward doesn't use cliches on what hes trying to say.
3. The protagonist is dynamic when it said " Charley nodded and was surprised to find himself crying. Hes a round character who shows his feelings and cares about people who show him good.
4. I Actually feel like if I met this character but who was older than his age its pretty amazing.

BIG QUESTION

Is It Possible To Touch The Rainbow.?

The Medium Is The Message

 I read the story and watched the video & there was many comparisons between the two. I was actually very surprised when I first started watching the video because it made much more sense. Even though I couldn't hear it I tried my best, just by watching it gave me a better understanding of what the story was about. I actually have a lot of comparing.
 The setting of Sleepy Hollow was lonely & spooky. Showed a shadow of hessian the non-headed man. The description of Ichabod was tall, exceedingly lank, narrow shoulders, long arms & legs, hands dangled out of sleeves, feet of shovels, huge ears, large eyes, & a long nose Same as in the movie!
He Would walk by houses and smell the food with delight. He worked as a school teacher at his own school house was lonely around and the saying of "Spare the rod and spoil the child" was on the board. He whipped children except the larger boys, he would go to there house and eat so much and asked for more & more. The mothers would tell him scary stories of goblins & ghost& the Hessian. He went walking home scared of every obstacle & shadows. Next day he was walking to go see Katrina and saw fruits and vegetables and he would see ducks, pigs and every animal as food, he would also think about it. He tried to conquer Katrina's love by teaching her how to sing, Brom Bones was angry. At school a kid gave him an invitation to the party. He got ready as ever thought about marrying Katrina & her wealth. He entered and many women gazed at him but he payed much more attention to the food. Brom wanted to dance with Katrina but Ichabod interfered and Brom was filled with rage. They gathered up to hear stories & Brom talked about his meeting with Hessian, that he beat him when he entered the church and Hessian vanished. Soon everyone left and went home on his horse on the way he was horrified. In a tree he saw a hanged man but in a snap vanished. Then he saw a shadow and it was Hessian he slowly tried going away and singing psalm tunes to get distracted but he kept following but as soon as he saw Hessian with a pumpkin head in his hand he on his horse tried escaping, but Hessian was too fast and caught up to Ichabod and he threw his pumpkin head at Ichabod and he fell off his horse, his hat fell, and he ran away. Brom & Katrina ended up getting married.
So I jotted all this down because it was in the story & the way it was shown in  the video (:
