How I Read
October 8 The Mona Lisa was made with strokes of the brush to where you can’t tell where one stroke end the the other one starts. Amateurs love what they do. They don’t get paid for what they do. Professionals do even if they do the same thing. Don’t just read but understand. Get lost in the story Fall in love with the plot.
Letter to Member
October 3 Dear Mentor, Hello my name is Dayanira. I’m a junior in Santa Maria high school, almost to the end. Although I still have a year to change plans I’m very confused. I’m stuck between following in my sisters footsteps and disappearing, not be heard of and not coming back or staying someone close, where I can come for the weekends or vacations car driving weeks. I can still see the kids I helped raise grow up and they won’t forget my name or if they even have a sister. But it’s it’s good for me then that shouldn’t matter right? I need help I’m still confused. With Respect, Dayanira A
How to get along online
October 16 1: be open minded 2: Have constructive criticism 3: contribute to the conversation and let it flow. Three things that should help you keep conversations online, they’re not in the order you should follow me then in but they’re good.
Literature analysis #2
October 2 The story Fahrenheit 451 is a scientific novel by Ray Bradbury, the novel shows a futuristic dystopia and opens some parallels between our world and theirs. The novel explores the ideas of censorship and how much it affects our everyday life Anyone can wonder and ask about what they are curious about. In the novel, the citizens aren’t allowed to know anything unless they’re told. The character Mildred is an example of this, she is only known to what she is told. Mildred is only attached to the characters on her tv screen and is unaware of her surroundings. In the book, we are taught that there is no speed limit, but drivers aren’t allowed to drive slow. The more you read the more knowledge you receive even if it isn’t much. By banning the books, the characters in the story were limited to what occurred and what is occurring. We are not as limited, as a society, about the things going on around us.
First impression of a dream
September 30 My impression on this poem was captivating. I can only understand so much from what Alan is trying to say. Is he trying to grasp the dream, making sure that it is only a dream and nothing more? I can’t see him nodding his head to these theories but I would love to know what he is trying to tell me instead of taking this poem and ruining its meaning.
