MYTH, MAGIC,OR REALITY !!!

Mythology has always been a part of our culture for centuries. We grew up on the stories of Hecules,perseus, and greeek gods and godessess. As the book explains we are all on a journey. The  journey throughout life encompasses so many trials and tribulations.

A MOTHER'S LOVE

We live in a society where so much love is present, but so little is given. I read an article the other day where a mother left her child in a  parked car then went into walmart. A shopper saw this and called law enforcement. the lady was charged with reckless negligence. This negligence is intolerable. I was watching this mother duck for 10 min and her chickies waddled right behind her and she damn made sure of that... That is a mothers love.. 

TRIUMPH, VICTORY,PERSERVERANCE !!!!

In our lives we come across many hinderances,and obstacles. How we get through them define who we are as a person. It had never been easy for my family,but I never waviered nor did I quit. Instead I went against the grain buckled down and weathered the storm. So my fellow scholars when life seems it going into a spiral Stop compose yourself and grab life by the horns......

SOMETHING IS" FISHY"

IN poem the "FISH" by Elizabeth Bishop she uses a great deal of imagery and symbolism to convey how in life we are just beat down yet, through wisdom, and overcoming obsacles in our life triumph prevails. Bishop actually takes me there on that fishing trip, I really felt as though i was in that boat with the fisherman and in essence can equate some of my many upheaval moments and triumphs to that of the narrator and the fish. There was something fishy about the symbolic meaning of the fish hooks left in the mouth of the fish. Bishop symbolizes them with medals or trophies that the fish endured throughout its endevors. This was no fish tale but an intriguing poem!!!!!! 

IMAGINE USING IMAGERY & SYMBOLISM

JOHN Lennon Once wrote the song Imagine. The lyrics are so astounding, and moving in that he uses a lot of Imagery to convey his message. Imagery helps us develop and form  a descriptive image of what the author is projecting. the vivid pictures of what is at stake almost puts us right there as if we are experiencing the Totalality of it all.So my fellow scholars the next time you read a poem or short story try to Imagine and just let yourself be absorbed in the moment. 

I WILL NOT GIVE UP !!

I will not give up on my document paper. I think the problem we ran into was a simple miscommunication in that the ideas were separate. and not on the same page. It is both frustrating and tideous not knowing what is  expected in a document, therefore I have taken every precaution to sit down with the professor and examine the logistics of writing a great document. I will never Give UP !!!

"VOICE" OF COMMAND

Voice is an intricate part of literature. It can be the narrator or a person in thestory such as a character. None the less voice is a key element that the write is trying to convey. Their style or voice will either enhance or dehance the story..depending on how well the voice speaks to the reader....

POEMS

I have felt that a good poem is like a sweet song that dances in my head. there are times when I constantly hear that delightful melody and it is stuck with me throughout the day. I try, and analyze poems as I do with short stories,or music, In which I find it facinating beyond comprehension.The beauty of critcally reading and analyzing short stories, poems, or music lyrics as well as literature is to exhilerating and helps to identify what the writer or artist is saying. The interpretation can bring out something in you or trgger a pleasant thought pattern perhaps.

PROCRASTINATION: A STUDENTS NIGHTMARE !!!!

Every one has priorities such as family life,children,work,and of course school. We have the tendency to put things off untill the last moment. Our priorities ought to lie within what is most relevant and important gravely. For so many years I have put off important issues and try to do them at other times. Never really getting around to what needed to be done. My message is that now I spend an aweful amount of money on college so it is detrimental to stop putting things off and take care of business.

LATIN LITERATURE: TWO THUMBS UP

Just recently, prior to reading the last two stories of our English assignment did I realize the magnitude of latin American literature.I learned that El Boom which was a dramatic social cultural shift during the 1960's and 70's produced some of the greatest, skillful, and well written literary works by latinos across the globe. It is both fitting ,and well deserve to say that the contribution of the latino community has greatly fall into the category of well named writers of the western civilization...

EQUALITY OR INEQUALITY:That is the question?

Equality is a word that can mean or refer to just about anything in this day and age. for instance back in the 19th century a black person was considered 2/3rds of a person yet our constitution says that all men are created equal...really !!! well even in mathematics their are inequalities. In the political arena today the republicans are being bashed of misusing the inequality of classes and status quo. Understand that Dr. Hamon our professor is not our peer because he has earned the right and title bestowed upon him by the board of which ever Educational institute he attained his degrees. The board of governors and the state recognizes this.Let me be clear however, that the good Doctor is absolute in every way, but not absolved of all things in anyway..

THEME..THEME..THEME..!!!!!

Give me a good theme and I'll give you a good story. Some stories have some spectacular themes, but most people misconstrue a theme with a plot. the plot is more less a summary of the story as oppose to a theme which is much more comprehensive and intuitive. It has a deeper meaning not so much a message or moral indication but a theme will allow you to explore, critically use deductive and inductive reasoning. I like a good theme that is not so obvious, thus a good story....  

TIME!!!!

 Time,the one element we have no control over.Albert Einstein once said " there are two things that are infinite,the Universe and man's stupidity". I believe it is not only foolish and stupid to waste time, but gravely unwise. We have so little time on this earth and we should devote every effort into making the most of it. Furthermore ,I believe that there aren't enough hours in the day to do each and every task I set out to perform, I equally  believe that through preservation and discipline I can accomplish this feat. As a scholar is my duty as well as my responsibility to take advantage of every bit of time dedicated  to my studies.So with that said let us stop procrastinating and get down to business, thus taking time serious...

THE IMPACT OF APA CITATION STYLE !!!

APA or the American Psychological Association is a standard of rules for documenting or referencing sources of your research paper. The beauty of APA citing is that you give creditability to your work,and of course credit to whom you are referencing. Yes, my fellow scholars I cannot stress myself enough as to say how important it is to make sure whether in text citation and or end of paper reference list. Remember if it isnt yours.... give credit to who it belongs to. I always try to keep in mind the more muscle the better paper..!!!  

CHARACTERS:COURAGEOUS OR CORNY?

In literature I am immensely awed by characters , mostly the underdog of the story. Although some people might chose the central character or major. There are different other types of characters that make up a story. As we learned earlier last month you have protagonist,antagonist   ,heroes,anti-heroes, and many more,but my favorite type of character is the stock characters..such as the geeky kid with horned rimed glasses with tape on them,constantly being bullied and rejected by society until they do something usually stereotypical in conjunction to winning the day.Then of course my favorite the super-sleuth detective always solving the crime and leaving his trademark words of wisdom to end the story.Characters help me to understand and escape for a moment into a world where....

What does symbolism mean to me?

Symbols have been incorporated in our society for many,many centuries. Since the beginning of time our earlier civilization have used symbols as a way of communicating. Representing a particular object,person,or even a  place. To me symbols are a direct way of communication either by visual ,sounds, objects,not to mention hand gestures. I wear a peace sign around my neck and have done so for the last 7 years. the gold platinum symbol of peace has the words engraved in them love, hope, and peace which mean to me our struggle in life.
