Experience

I think personally I have grown in the past year. I've grown to understand English and how to compose and analyze things more clearly. I have learned to use context clues to give me certain answers. But theoughout the year I have grown most in my skills as a writer. I am able to incorporate ideas from my past and make them sound highly intelligent and to make it the best essay it can be. Or at least to my extent. This year I have learned more than how to write I even learned to create games out of my own lessons. And I spoke in front of people. I grew soo much in a variety of things. On the ap exam I am positive that I didn't excellent on my argumentative essay. I Don't know why but it's easy for me to argue and the way the prompt was set made it easy for me to know my side so I felt and had soo much time and was ready for that essay. The area I was least ready for was the multiple choice. The answer and stories made me lose interwnt and become distracted and feel the need to sleep. They didn't make sense to me so I gave up when I should have kept on trying. I feel as though having taken this course I've grown soo much as a student and it has reflected on how I act I think others can tell that I am more mature and know the subject I am good at when I speak about it. Because with science I am just soo slow, and when it comes to English I can just go on and on they get annoyed of me. Taking this course had made me more aware of my options and I feel like will help me in my future to compose better essays no matter what my job in the future will be. It will make me have more options as to what I am able to do when I grow up too. I think the most enjoyable book we've read is the great gatsby, I think we are able to relate more to it so it gives us a cling. Like we all want the American dream but not all of us have figured out that we can or can't obtain it yet. My least favorite book would be the things they carried. For some reason nyrder and mystery don't really excite me. Because they are typical stories. We all know scary and frightening stories that end and begin this way. It was just typical and didn't really matter when I read It. I would like for you to know that i Will miss Being in Your class and heading Your stories!!! You are one if not my favorite teacher Whom i feel like i can talk to, you have encouraged me to Strive for moré academically and that means a lot. I think you are a great teacher and I'm going to miss you when I'm not sitting in the back of the classroom not talking because of my shyness. 

inside of my head

  What I carry with me always, I always carry my bracelet and my ring.. The reason I always carry them and never take them off is because their real and were given to me by very special person. My mother gave me her bracelet one day and it resembles our heritage and where we are from because when your born in the Virgin Islands you usually get one that resembles your personality, but I lost mines 4 years ago so she gave it to me. My great grandmother had the ring and gave it to my grandmother, then she gave it to my mother, my mother then gave it to me. This ring is important to me because it's a symbol that I have family who don't depend on recent and more current things that even though I'm young I can carry around something that has been around for a while with history to it. I think if I lost it I would feel that I have disappointed or really didn't have any background knowledge of my family or my own hometown memories.

 In my life The dream I have is to become a pediatrician. I want to become a pediatrician because I love children and I want to help them and make a difference within their lives. My goals are to take all the medical classes in high school and then go onto college pursuing my dream take the courses and hopefully land into medical school. My goals are providing me with guidance because I have to achieve what I want on my own I can't always depend on others for my own personal needs. 

If I had to choose one person who has always been there for me it's my little sister Bella. I always think about how she is and why she is soo kind. I am not the best person yet she never says anything to judge me nor to bring my mood down. She's my one true inspiration because with her being so young and understanding and able to be soo amazingly smart and interactive with me it inspires me to be a better more caring person to influence her correctly. She impacts me soo much because I don't know how she got to be so experienced about these things. She's one that will make you smile no matter what your mood and will show you the most love and make you feel like your the most important person in the world. Like you already found your person this is why I love her. She's my person. 

To describe my personality I would say I am candid, imaginative, and thoughtful. I would like to think of myself as these things because I try to be a good person and although I may not always succeed I do try. I think of others as their own person we are all different and can't all live up to the expectations others uphold so why hold others to expectations. I think that my personality has allowed me to be an exceptional person for myself. I can't really strive to be more than I am but I can accept the person I am and who I can't be. I am a good person, and I can't change who I am. My personality represents my ability to strive for what I want and skip what I don't. 

My memories can only tell a fraction of my life that is relevant to my life.. They are explaining how I am impacted and how I can be affected. My memories are more loving than regretful. I don't regret any of my relationships that haven't worked out because they all led me to become who I am today and to make better decisions for myself. When I look back I think Of all the good times we had and how we always imagined love but were young. My memories are with my family showing that my family is the most important thing in my life. They are always there helping you get through the toughest times. They are the ones where you go back to your sixth birthday and remember how happy y'all were. Or the day they got you another member in your family. My memories are precious because they are what I have to remember of people I care about. They explain the time I met my first best friend or got my first cat and then killed it, accidentally. They show what happened. 

Allen Poe

In Edgar Allen Poes story Fall of house of usher he uses incest, fear, goth, isolationism, and mortality.. Why would anyone use these contents to write a short story or any story at all, because it captivates the reader. Literally blows their minds.. We can never tell what is truthfully happening or what will happen in the end or in the story because it has so many types of ways to be told.. I personally would use these 5 themes because they are the one that caught my eye the most. Incest, like "woah!" A mind blowing theme to use because not many people are incestuous especially when it's in a haunted house. That's always adds some excitement... Fear.. Fear always gets someone's heart going. It's a theme that no one could be disappointed with, when it's in a scary or creepy story like the house of usher this was exciting to have. Gothic themes in a haunting story can only add suspicion to the plot. If I were to write. A story like Mr. Poes I would use goth because not many people use goth, and if they do they don't capture the story being told very well. Mortality, I would use, I love me a good vampire in my story and Edgar all Poe captured a mystical one. The way Madeline May have actually risen back even though everyone thought she was dead. Nobody could've known she even was back she could've haunted them. It would make into a great short story. Finally using isolation as a them!!! Spectacular idea!!! Have them cut off basically from the rest of the world where they lived in a house that was haunted itself and then all the haunting come after them. Any great story with a good isolation theme will get a view. If they are able to portray their ideas well enough the reader will get soo hooked! These 5 themes are all themes I would use if I were to write myself a great short story because they are all great themes if used in the right way. Explained correctly and unified as one they would explode with excitement from someone. 

Supernatural Captivation

 Maybe we like to think outside of our little box. Perhaps the idea of something supernatural is beyond our belief of reality. Maybe we like it so much because of how we get to include our image into something that's as scary and exciting as an occult. The idea of an occult is so real and unimaginable to say one thing because it can have many meanings to one story, especially if its supernatural we would have no clue if it happened in reality. We are fascinated by it because it can leave us hanging with one clue and we can make man different perspectives to how it could've ended. We see the idea of an occult in movies, books, television shows, art, and even on peoples choice of clothing, in their music, it has taken our lives and created a new history for its name, it has recreated everything we knew about the fictional, supernatural world. It has captivated our culture and is still hasn't seized to stop exciting us or our view of it.  It is such a hit in our lives that we are creating movies like Paranormal Activity and, art like werewolves on t-shirts or tattoos, some people prefer shows like Supernatural, or The Vampire Diaries. it has taken over and we focus more on the occult than other genres.. To me the occult was only created to make us guess everything we thought was true and to make us guessing and stay clueless. we made it popular with our own fascinations. Maybe it was the idea of being clueless or a never ending pack of unanswered questions, that made our generation lie the fascination of the occult taking over.

Joker vs. Crane

In theory we the Joker is an anti-hero and Mr.Crane  is the good upstanding guy. Why does  the joker have to be the fault. He is doing what he wants and what he believes is right. Isn't that what a person is supposed to do? Aren't they supposed to stand up for what they believe in? Mr. Crane is the typical military officer who follows and obeys the law. He does what hes supposed to do, but his life is just a law and not his own. The joker is a person who is willing to do what he wants and doesn't give a HOOT about everyone else's opinion. So if being yourself make you an anti-hero then why would anyone want to be a good righteous person like Mr.Crane whose life is probably lonely and unfulfilled. Today everyone is afraid to be themselves. No one should hide who they are. The joker and Mr.Crane are completely different, but if the joker is an anti-hero then what makes him an anti-hero? Is it being unstable? Is it belief? Having your own personality? Being your own you? Not caring about what others think of you? Who created you and set boundaries around who you can be?who said not to do what you want? If the joker is an anti-hero for being himself and Mr.Crane is anything but a Law man.Then which would you be, the Hero or the Anti-hero.
