AUTHOR IN PROGRESS

Due to my Emerson's writing I feel like I can really improve my way of writing from what I wrote Thursday. I think I would've done better if I would've read the article to the very end and had some ideas ready in my head. If I would've read the whole essay, I would have felt more prepared and know what to write. Other than that, I felt good about it. In my opinion, I think I did fair for my first actual "test."

MY AMERICAN VOICE

Earlier today, I wrote this in my journal.....

In my opinion, I think speaking up is right when someone is saying something wrong or insulting others. I don't like when people talk bad about others, especially when it's not true stuff. That's when I usually speak up the most than other occasions. I feel that it's my responsibility to stand up for others when the rest don't. I know I don't have but I still do. I usually speak up when I see someone taking out their temper, but I always think before I speak. I want to know what to say, and the right words that person should hear. The right words always help a person think differently about stuff. It's the magic of words.......🙌 The only times I will usually not speak up or mention anything about it, is when a person is cheating on their girlfriend/boyfriend. If mention anything about it.......I feel like I would hurt that person. Something about me, is that I don't like hurting others. That's something I would never do, that's is just not me.....🙂 Words can be kind, harsh, mean, etc.... it all depends what you say and when you say it.

I usually have authentic conversations with people when I know they really need at that time. I have them usually when a person is feeling down or just needs someone to give them advice, when I speak the words I say always come from my heart because I really mean it! Something about me that I really like is that I love making others happy by doing what I do every single day...... being myself. 

I can say that I don't really have patience for many things but I do when it comes to talking to people. I can be the most patient person when it comes to listening and talking to others. I hate it when others don't listen to what I have to say. Or when I'm talking and they just start talking about something else or totally ignore by looking at their phone and not listening to what I'm saying. Since I don't like it when they do that to me then why would I do it to other people? I treat others the way I want to be treated in return. 

When 2 or more persons are arguing and they ask for my opinion or who I agree with....... I always say, "neither!" I avoid taking sides when they bring me into an argument. The reason is because I don't want to have any enemies and to not really be involved between the whole argument. It's probably the best choice to make instead of saying your opinion towards a person or agreeing also. This situation is when you have to think before you speak. If you say the wrong thing then there goes yourself...... bringing yourself into the argument.

TEAM VOCAB

This presidential election has transformed into a battle, with venomous attacks from both aggravating parties. Hillary has remained stolid, and I personally wanna punch Trump in the proboscis. His supporters have slowly dissolved and the ones who have remained are hypnotized into believing America will be great again. This is a melancholy moment in American history because soon one of these candidates will be president. I earnestly believe that neither candidate should be eligible for office.

LITERATURE ANALYSIS #2

1.       Plot-

The novel starts of by Nicolette Antonovich getting asked by "Rascal" to attend his prom. She paid her best friend's older brother to drive her around to find the perfect dress. Yet two days before the big date, Rascal cancelled saying he’s going with his off-and-on girlfriend who just moved back from Arizona. That was just the great way for Nic to end her sophomore year *I'm being sarcastic*. But she had the whole summer to cool down and plan out how her junior year is going to start off as. She still loves Rascal even for what he did to her. She loved the wrong guy throughout the whole novel until she realizes that the right boy for her life is her friend’s older brother, Jared.

2.       Theme-

The theme of the book is to never let anything bring you down no matter how bad the situation was, even if the only easy thing you can do is to give up. The theme is seen in the novel when Rascal doesn’t take Nic to his prom because his girlfriend decides to come back. Nic experiences the theme of the novel in many parts of the novel. The bank is trying to foreclose on her home from which she has lived in since she was a child. Her father doesn’t help her nor her mother with that situation because he’s too busy with his “replacement daughter” like Nic says for him to care about what they’re going through. She might get kicked off the volleyball team just because of a false rumor that’s going around team. If she gets kicked off the volleyball team which will ruins all her chances of getting a college scholarship.

3.       The Author’s Morning Routine-

I feel like the author gets up early in the morning every day to get her day started just right. She seems like a person who would go to sleep early to get the right amount of hours of sleep. I imagine her doing yoga after eating a light breakfast, maybe like some fruit or something plain like a bagel, along with some coffee or an orange juice. I imagine her doing this due to the way she writes and how she expresses herself with the protagonist which is “Nic” in the novel.

4.       Diction

Diction- The diction of this book is probably informal. Informal because it's written in a way how you would communicate with your friends or something like that. The book is written mostly for teens.

TODAY I'M A GOOD HUMAN

Today I feel like a good human being because I've helped out my group members with their jobs in our group project that is due on Tuesday. I helped my group memeber ,the writer, by outlining the essay she's supposed to do. I started her off with the intro and gave her the 3 topics she's going to write about in the 3 body paragraphs. Not only did I give her the 3 topics but also 2 details/facts for each topic. I literally did her whole essay for her she just needs to add her opinions and more details. I helped my other group member (diplomatic engineer) by giving her all the events from American History for all the demands she was assigned. I feel like that had made me a good human being today🙃😄
Also..... I gave a friend (who I just met)  a birthday gift for his birthday when I could've not given him anything.

Other than that............ nothing!
