Modernist.

My writing is different from five years ago.  The reason why my writing is modern today is because there are more words that we use. Also the way we are taught because now some teachers have a new way of teaching us. I have grown and changed from five years ago too. I learned a lot more within those five years. I also matured a lot sense then. The world has changed so much from five years ago. Now it's a lot about technology. These ways has changed my writing.

MY MODERNIST

I picked Langston Hughes, because we already read a poem that he had wrote. It was called Theme for English B. I though it was a very interesting poem. We also kind of went over him a little bit in class too.

My progress this course i think has been good. I may not post things right away but I make sure the things get done. My collaborating skills i think have got way better sense the beginning of the year. I also put more effort out in class. Like ask more questions when i don't understand them or help out another student.

Mildred's Parlor

The scene when Montag recited "Dover Beach" to Mildred and her friends was when they were in the kitchen just talking. Then Montag decide to come in with the bible. Then recite it.

A Sad World: By Gregory Huyette

The world is ruled by law and in a way that's so very sad.

It's not a matter of what's right or wrong or good or bad.

Facts depend on points-of-view and truth holds little sway.

Money and power are the arbiters of morality today.


Each one who still believes that what's good will win out,

Should receive praise and respect, but there's little doubt

That each day that bygone world becomes less the rule,

As each day, so sadly, each of these appears more the fool.

As each day, so sadly, each of these appears more the fool.
I would choose this poem to read to Mildred and her friends because it relates to Montag because you have to follow that law no matter what even if it is wrong. Also there are people out there that still believe.

my 451

A summary about Fahrenheit 451.
-It is about a firefighter name Montag who thinks his life is great. His job is to burn books. But one day he meets a girl named Clarisse and from then on she made him start to question the way he was living. If it has always been that way. He took a book from one of the houses he burned. His boss captain Beatty found out about it. They got called to out to a job and to find out it was his house. Beatty and montag got into and montag killed him and then burnt his own house. Later that night he was on the run but then met up with Faber. Montag found a group of old professor who were also on the run. his city was bombed.

I'm a poet and I know it

Clarisse had to ask me all these questions

now its time for my confession

I came to realize that I'm not really happy with my life

Here are the reasons why.

Theme for English B

Yes i think i am the person my teachers think i am. I'm serious but yet can be my goofy self and get things done and with my best effort. That's how i pursue my learning. Elements that i have to check before i enter the gates of my school is if i have all of my supplies that i need. Also if i have all my projects/homework done. Last if I'm in a good mood other wise i need to change it. I prefer to keep my personal life private from school so i can do better. I think it is possible to take ownership and control on my learning process. Well i only feel that way in one class and that is Dr. Preston's English class.

ESSAY POSTGAME ANALYSIS:

Lets just say I'm not good at writing essay. I know the book i have read it twice. One time from last year and then we read it in class. I just have a problem starting the essay. I'm not a good explainer as it is and to put your words in writing is hard for me. I tried my hardest it's not that great, but i did try. I at least give myself a C. I had to start over but when i did i think i got it that time i think but i never got to finish it.

THE PEEVED PEDESTRIAN!

In class I thought you told us the reason why Ray Bradbury wrote this book was because he was out one night taking a walk. When an officer had stopped and questioned why he was out walking around so late. The analysis of literary of technique that led me to this conclusion is the notes we took in class. One technique was how he uses irony in the book. An example of how he uses irony is the firemen are starting the fires not putting them out. Another was allusion. An example of that was when Dante wrote about hell. Last was indirect characterization. An example is when he talks about Beatty entering a room and taking complete control of everyone.

The Time of My Life

When Dr. Preston told us to use this time wisely and talk about stuff. It had me very confused. I just didn't know what we were suppose to talk about. I asked Dr. Preston what we were suppose to talk about. He told me that it was normal, because we are so use to being told what we need to do. This made me realize what i need to get done for this. I still needed to catch up on Fahrenheit 451. I also need to do my LAQS question, because i already finished my book.  That's how i used my time in class basically planning out how i can finish those things in time before grades come out.
