I think that one thing that I did good on is the way that I decided to place my paragraphs. In my previous writing, my paragraphs were always messy and I didn’t really know how to place my ideas in an understandable order. But this time, I think that my order of my ideas made more sense. With this essay, I also think that my grammar had improved from our grammar exercises that we have done in class. One thing that I’d like to work on is the consistency of my ideas. I want to be able to write points without jumping back and forth between two ideas.
I think that the Help is a great book for people to read. It’s funny and has suspense in every chapter. From this book, I was able to learn that you never know what’s going to happen: Until you try.
For me, one thing that I am proud about in my narrative essay is learning how to use the rule of threes. Before, I didn’t know anything about the rule of threes, and wasn’t very good at using that rule when I tried. But slowly, I was able to understand it more and now I am able to use it in my own writing! Another accomplishment is being able to use quotations properly. I had already known how to use them before, but now I am able to be confident that my work is proper. One thing that I’ll like to improve on is my ability to write my ideas down on paper and have it make sense. Because of this, there are usually unfinished thoughts on my work that I forgot to complete. So, I would like to work more on my writing abilities. In the end, I think that I did an okay job on my Narrative Essay.
In this picture, it shows a world of people living in a snow globe called Automotto. There’s a fence that separates the people who live there and the factories with people whom are not as powerful or smart as the others. The government (people with the hats) are controlling the people inside and outside of the fences. People are being convinced to do things by the signs and the mascot/car. Inside the fences people are punished from being who they are (beliefs, identity, etc.). I wanted this picture to show how a dystopian world is sealed off from the outer world to maintain it’s ‘peace’. Also, even though you’re inside, you’re being controlled. So there’s the government controlling inside and whoever is controlling the whole snow globe.
In Alike by Daniel Martínez Lara and Rafa Cano Méndez, a father and a son are in a world that has no imagination. Everyday the two get ready for school and work, filling their bags up with books and papers. Everyone in the outside world is grey and show no emotion, while the father is coloured blue and the son is orange. Everyday when they walk to work and school, they pass a garden in the middle of the city that has a large orange tree. There’s a man there that is also coloured, and he plays the violin for everyone that passes. At school, the children all learn how to write their ABC’s neatly, while the son has a wild imagination and likes to draw pictures. Everyday at work, the father loses his colour as he’s being dragged into the status-quo of everyone else. As the video progresses, the son, slowly loses his imagination and colour and is unable to return his father’s colour. The following day to solve the problem, the father suggests that they go listen to the violinist. When they get there, they realize that he’s no longer there. As a final attempt, the father walks under the tree and makes the motions as if he’s the one playing the violin. This pleases the son and they both get their colours back. This video shows that in life, we all need to have an imagination and be able to find the things in life that makes us happy. We need to be able to explore what we enjoy and be able to break out of the status-quo.
