                                                            Reflective Essay

           Over the semester I have learned a lot of new ways on how i can improve my writing to a higher standard . One of the ways is making it interesting like make it so good that people can not stop reading. Like my blog post The scariest day ever. In this blog post , i made it very interesting and kind of scary so that when people start to read it they will be hooked on the writing and wont stop reading. I made a lot of new improvements to my writing but the one thing that i did not do was split my paragraph into many because they are all run on. I am going to try to do it with this essay and hope that i do it right.

         Blogging has had a huge impact on my life because it helps improve the way I write and it brings down the number of mistakes I make. Before I had no idea on how to use blogger but now I do and I can type faster. Also all of my work is portable on the web because blogger saves all my work in a mater of seconds. See for your self if I have improved on my blog. I started from really bad work to going step by step to improve my work. My blog has all that you need to see in order to believe me. Even though my work isn't perfect it is getting there step by step every day. The main influence was Mr. Sutherland because he is the one who gave me the little tips on improving my work. If it wasn't for him I would be a horrible writer. The first time I posted up a blog on blogger was the hardiest thing I had for homework because I have never used it before.

        All of my posts on blogger come from a randomly selected word off the top of my mind. After I have got the word I need I make it into a title and start to brain storm. It may take a while but at least I can think of things to write about. When I don’t know what I'm going to write about I think about my day and what happened to me. If I know what I am going to write about I cant wait for school to end so that I can take my laptop and start to type. Like right now I am making this up as I go so this is not going to be the best work that I can do. If a subject is interesting to me I will stay up all night thinking of how I am going to improve it. I look forward to making my writing better then what it was and what it is. The first post I put up was the worst post of all. I didn't have any of the requirementsn and it did not meat the dead line. There was no indentation and there was only about two hundred words when you need a min of three hundred. The only thing that I did right was give it a title and even
the title wasn't good so I completely messed up that post.           My favorite post that I did was The scariest day ever. It was my favorite because I pored my heart into it. It was the easiest post that I have ever done because I had some much to say about it and it really had an impact on me. The reason that I say that was because I had to witness the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. There were some many people stopping on a guys head and really messing him up mentally and physically. I think that people would agree with me if I said that this should never have to any human in the world no mater what. My least favorite post was the first post I put up because it had no meaning and only took me about ten minutes to make it. Tell me why I haven’t took ii off of my blog. I think that I am going to go to blogger right now and delete it right now. Some might think that it is easy to post two blogs every week but its not. The typing part it
easy but the rest isn't. The only thing that I don't look forward to on Fridays is that the posts are due. I can't stand doing them because they take for ever.
        I am going to end off this post with me thanking the people that read my post and commented. Its people like you that help others with there mistakes and help them improve. Since I hate to post long things on blogger I am going to ramble about what I am going to do next time when I post something. The first thing is going to be to indent my paragraphs and make them longer. The second thing I am going to do is stop posting stupid things on blogger. The third thing is I am going to start commenting on peoples work to tell them what they need to work on and what they have that is good. The fourth and final thing on my list is I am going to finish this essay before ten o'clock. All of these will end up helping my grad and help me improve on my writing skills. Thank you for reading and bye.     

of mice and men

                                                      Of Mice & Men.

In the story of mice and men it has a lot of interesting conflict going. The genre of the story is fiction. It is noticeable that the story is fiction because it has a lot of extreme conflicts that are very unreal. The reason that this story is called of mice and men, is because it looks like a man with a mouse's brain. The thing that makes this story interesting is that it has this very good description that pulls you into the story.

            The central conflict in the store of mice and men it's mostly about character vs. society. Lennie is always going against society because no one he meets likes him because he always makes a bad impression and people don't like bright people. Here is a quote from the story.

         Pg 11 “ Lennie knelt and looked over the fire at the angry George. And Lennie’s face was drawn with terror. “An' whatta I got.” George went on furiously. “ I got you!” You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get. Just keep me shovin' all over the country all the time.”

This issue with Lennie will never stop because they will continue to lose there jobs and Lennie will never mature. Thanks to his lake of knowledge and his mental retardation it's kind of impossible for him to change his dumb irritating ways.

        Lennie would never change and even if he said he would he would end up apologizing and say he forgot. Lennie is clearly not smart at all, he acts like he is a little boy with a big imagination. Lennie never meant to do things on purpose it's just that he has a way of doing things and when he gets scared he does those stupid things. Here is another example of what Lennie would do to piss people off.

      Pg 41 “ Well, he seen this girl in a red dress. Dumb bastard like he is, he wants to touch ever' thing he likes. Just wants to feel it. So he reaches out to feel this red dress an' and the girl lets out a squawk, and that gets Lennie all mixed up, and he holds on ' cause that's the only thing he could think to do.”

Lennie is a terrified person because he doesn't feel right when he isn't around George. The only thing that George could do while he is present in a time were Lennie is in trouble and needs Lennie to let go of something.

         The quote keeps going on and on about the stuff that Lennie does to get them both kicked out. Half way during the quote George seems to get a little mad at Lennie because Lennie is truly the source where all of George's problems come from. George always says that with the money he makes every month he could go to the cat house or get really drunk and he keeps repeating it as if he really does want that. The only thing that Lennie ever thinks about is rabbits he always asks questions to George saying.

          Pg 57 “An' rabbits George.”

No place for rabbits now, but I could easy build a few hutches and you could feed alfalfa to the rabbits.”

“Damn right, I could,” said Lennie. “ God damn right I could.”

Talk about obsession of rabbits, that's all he talks about. The things that Lennie likes are shiny things or living furry animals. So when he gets a hold of them, he will not let go or if it's living he will end up killing the pour thing.

       Curly has it out for Lennie because Lennie crushed Curly's arm and killed Curly's wife. It sounds like he is a mad man, but he is not at all he didn’t mean to do any of it. The only time that Lennie meant to hurt any one was when George told him to. The thing that happened with Curly's wife was no one's fault but hers. If she wasn’t such a hoe bag, scaring Lennie until the point were he wouldn't let go of her hair. She kept struggling and told him nicely she wouldn't have caused her own neck to brake.

It's sad to see a man lose all of his brain's because he got hit by a horse on the head. Just for that little accident, he has the whole world looking at him as if every one wants him dead. Speaking of the dead, Lennie also killed a girl at the ranch they staying at. He saw Curly's wife in the rabbit house and he decided to touch her hair. When she told Lennie to let go he gets scared so he holds on, just like what he did in Weed. Any way he keeps holding on because there is no one to stop him, the girl gets really scared and tries to run off but next thing you know her neck is snapped and he dies. Causing Lennie to run off into the mountains were George told him to go just in case he gets into any trouble. So in the end George does what he has to do. He tells the story of him and Lennie living in a little house and turns Lennie to his back away from him self and aims the gun behind his head and pulls the trigger.

best movie

             The best movie on earth is Avatar because it was very expensive and it took a long time to make it. I watched it on the day it came out, i didnt think that there would be alot of people trying to watch it. So i walked into the theater and there was a huge line and I'm thinking that people are there to watch any other movie then Avatar. I go to the room were avatar was playing and i see that the whole room is over packed with people. I finally find a seat anhd sit down to watch the movie. The movie quality was the best ever and the movie was very long. Thirty minutes into the movie i loved it because you can see people traviling from earth to another universe trying to find creatures and hunting them down for there rear rocks. My favorite part was the Avatars were fighting the humans and the seround sound got really loud to the point were you cloud feel your chair vibrate. The 3d glassas made it the best experience because everytime someone would through something in the movie you could feel it because of how close it was. That was my first time ever going to bayfair so that made the experience really cool because from that day on i could never go to any other theater out there because the feeling i got from watching Avatar. After i watched it once i got hooked on it so i watched it yet again and again more then four times. Every time i would watched it i watched it in i max so it was better images of all of what was happening. i can tell that the people that watched the movie really liked it the same way that i did. If anyone who reads this post please let me know how your experence was like when you first watched this amazing movie. That is why i thin k that Avatar was the best movie that i ever watch.

facebook

Facebook is the most addicting thing that I can think of. For example every time I try to do my homework I get a email from someone saying get on line or you just posted on your wall. It is the only place were you can talk to all your friends that in no way is related to school. Since it takes me long enough to do my homework I get really board of doing it for like three hours so I go on the Internet to try to come my self down. Then when I'm on the Internet I all of a sudden log on to facebook and I see all my friends are on line so I talk to them and most of them are trying to get away from there homework. So I talk to them and one thing leads to the other and next thing you know I am gossiping about every one and I look at the time and I have been on the Internet for at least two hours then in the end I am two hours behind and try to make up all the work in a hour. Even thought I try to do it when I get home I always get distracted to it. Another example is when I don't bring my laptop because of the distractions, I pull out my phone from my pocket and start searching for facebook. I am kind of disappointed at my self because I really am trying to do my best in school and to become successful when I grow up. I always say to my self I'm not going to connect to facebook today because I got a lot of homework to do. Then I forget that I login automatically every day so when I open up Internet explorer and my homepage is facebook and I see what all the commotion is all about then I'm sucked in and i cant get out.I recommend that you take your work to your room and don't bother opening your computer if you can.
