FINAL ESSAY"how i've grown as a writer"?

"How i've grown as a writer"?
Since i came into this class i had no idea on how to do lit circles notes, double-entry journals,cornell notes(etc).The teacher would explain what would it mean and why is it important to do does notes.At the beggining i also had trouble doing essays.Doing notes and listening,paying alot of attension was really helpful to me.Going over the notes and handouts helped me raise up my grade.Reading and writing is what gets your reading level higher.

The in class essays,workbook notes,reflections,stream of conseciousness,connect to my life essays is the work we do in class.The read and response homework is what i do everyday when i get home,i write a page of what i read.Each chapter is what i read everyday for 30 to 40min.I work on my vocabulary everyday,so when we take test i know what every word means.When i dont understand a word i look up the meaning of it and when i go over it i understand it.But it several times that i read and dont get it.

So when i dont understand a phrase or a workbook question then i asked the teacher to help me and vertify the confusioness.Assessments we also do in class are the persuasion assessments.We answer questions after we read a rough draft.Learnng how and what to write is what benefits you the most.Beeing a writer is a career because it gets you to be famous and beneath the other things it makes you seem really smart.

The story that i think is really interesting and that i also like the most is "ALWAYS RUNNING".Unfortunatly i only read half of the book but what i read really shoked me and open my eye's.After i would read a chapter from the book,i would write a read and response.Writing what i read is better because i would write what i understood, and that would make me know what the book is about.Another reason why i like that book is because the author is"LUIS RODRIGUEZ"is a great person.He came to my high school and he shared his life with us and gave us examples of what he went through.He wrote about his life in the book and that is why i like reading his books.Him, besides beeing a writer his also a poet.

He was not embarrased of publishing his story life,it was the opposite he wanted to write tje book based on his life for people could see and know how his life was and everything he went through.He is an example of every guy who is part of a gang or justwants to join one.He is a great author that is why i love his books.

Found Poem

A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides-
You may have met Him-did you not
His notice sudden is-

The Grass divides as with a Comb-
A spotted shaft is seen-
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on-

He likes a Boggy Acre
A Floor too cool for corn-
Yet when a Boy, and Barefoot-
I more than once at noon
Have passed,I thought, a Whip lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stopping to secure it
It wrinkled, and was gone-

Several of Nature's People
I know, and they know me-
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality-

But never met this fellow
Attended, or alone
Without a tighter breathing
And Zero at the Bone-

final blog-literary trasure

Still I Rise
by:Yasmine Rodriguez


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise

When i first read this poem was when i was really bored and i just wanted to be reading poems for that instant moment.
The simplicity of it was beautiful to me. I wrote it down by hand so I could read it to my friend.cousins and family.
this poem is based on true things of the past.But it doesnt matter what has happen
in the past because the person that was affected still rises today.living behind terror and fear but still rising. It doesnt matter what they have done to that person, or that person had done something in the past but they still rising.

EXPOSITORY ESSAY!!!

Tittle:Boy Gets Girls.
A Play By: Rebecca Gilman

What is a stalker?And what kind of life can a woman lead when she knows she is being followed, obsessively and perhaps dangerous, by one?
This is the dilemma fecing Theresa Bedell, a reporter in New York, in Rebecca Gilman's tensely
fascinating new play when Theresa goes on an awkward blind date with a friend of a friend
she sees no reason to continue the relationship-but the man, an attractive fellow named tony,
thinks otherwise while Theresa is at first annoyed yet flattered by his continuing attention,
her attitude gradually changes to one of fear and fury when he starts violently to menace her and those around her. It brilliantly delineating the kind of terror a woman in full control of her
life feels when everything around her suddenly seems to be threat. Gilman probes the dark side of relationships in the 1990's with the rich insight and compelling characterizations that have distinguished her earlier plays and made her one of the most exciting young plays working today.

Narrative W/Sond Lyrics

My two parents are from Mexico so we always take a trip their every summer,
we usually go on the car. We normally have everything ready a month before because
my mom doens't like to be in a rush. A day before is an emotional day to me and my sisters because were so excited to see the family in Mexico. I had everything prepared for my self like; " WORD PUZZLE'S", "MP3 PLAYER", "COLORING BOOK" (ect)...
Is necessary to have all of those things because the trip could get long. If you go to Mexico on the car it takes about one day and ahalf to get their is a really tireying trip. When we get their is a really fun and surpricing moment.My family always goes around and the ranch and says(hii) to everyone. The first thing i do is go to my grandparents house and surprise them with my presence.They get really excited and it also looks like if they going to faint.When i talk to them in the phone i never tell them that in gana go for it could be a surprice.So when i'm spending time with them i tell them how i'm duing in school,how my grades are, and how i'm behaving with my parents.After,i leave and visit my friends that i have over their. They also get surprise when they see me because they didnt expected me to be their aswell. So i tell them how they been duing, and heve they been going to school. I love spending time with them i enjoy being in Mexico with my family and friends. We do parties and many games.Going to Mexico is the best thing i do during my entire vacation.

WHERE I'M FROM

I'm from the two mexican parents, two sisters, and one brother.

I'm from waking up in the morning with the smell of traditional dishes and being raised with always knowing and having a rich cultute.
From eating "rice" one day and"tacos" and "enchiladas" the next.

I'm from waking up early in the morning and getting ready, and walking down to school
sometimes getting picked up,but it only takes me a minute to school to the house.But walking
it takes me like 15 minutes.

I'm from giving better advices than actually taking it. I'm a friend that someone can depend on happy days,crying days, laughing days,or even rainy days.

I'm trying to balance the boyish side of me with the girly side.Whether it be batting a ball or shooting a basket, to going shopping ,going to parties, or drawing hearts all over my paper.

I'm from not liking to make hard decisions or choosing between two things. I like to think of a world with peace and make the war stop.Where problems would be settled by taking or arguing instead of fighting.

I'm from giving it all and help other people achieve and recognize their best asswell.
Making others smile because i know that i will, too.
