My Modernist

The author I wanted to do my project on is Charles Bukowski, because hi poems seem so real and relatable to real life. Also because I am already a little familiar with his work and I wanted to go deeper into learning about his way of thinking, his inspirations, and the meaning of his poetry. Although, if he isn't a modernist author, I would also like to learn about Virginia Woolf. Virginia Woolf was really involved with women rights, and their need for independence, andI believe that was very important for women to take that stand and she was a part of that.

IM HERE

So this post is supposed to be titled I'm here, yet I actually don't feel that I'm completely here in this course. Overall, I know I could do a better job on keeping up with my blog yet I just feel like I have so many things on my plate that actually getting on the computer is one of the last things I do nowadays. However, I have out a lot of thinking and planning toward my smart goal, and it's actually looking like this goal might come true! My SMART goal was to go to Cal Poly SLO, nd of course this is one of the top schools in the state, so grades are a big key to getting in, In which my 3.5 GPA doesn't quite meet the standards, yet I've talked to my guidance counselor, and the Mrs. Derkus to see what I could do to help me reach my SMART goal nd we've discussed class that I could take for my senior year, nd I've also decided to take a summer class in Hancock for English just to get ahead of the game.
This course has really helped me see what I'm capable of, and has pushed me to always give things a try!:)

Essay Postgam Annalysis

Like every other in class essay, it was hard for me to layout what I wanted to write and what order I should put it in. Although I did start out with a pre-write, and it helped me with what I wanted to include in my essay, I just didn't know how to lay it out in an organized understanding way. I don't think I clearly showed my thesis, and I mainly summarized what occurred in the end of the story. Overall, I would give myself a C grade, because I don't think I organized my essay well enough, but I still got my message a crossed.

Parlor Poetry

In the scene where Montag reads, " Dover Beach," if I were in that position I probably would've read, "The Laughing Heart," because this poem express freedom and individuality. Where in the setting of the book this concept doesn't really exist anymore, everything is about technology and everyone follows the same life style. The Laughing Heart really connected with me because it expresses that you shouldn't try to blend in with the crowd, and that everyone of us is different and marvelous in out own way. For the women in the parlor, it didn't seem like they had a sense of freedom, and any spark in their  life, its like they were empty inside. Like in "Moment for Life" by Niki Minaj, she says, " Just because your living doesn't mean your alive."

idk how to post it?!:O
