’The Highwayman’ and ‘Typhoid Fever’ Comparison.”

"The Highwayman" and "Typhoid Fever" are similar because in the story both of the female characters die in the end. They are also similar because in both stories the characters fall in love with each other but they couldn't be together. In "The Highwayman" the characters weren' allowed to talk to each other because of the girls father and in "Typhoid Fever" the characters weren't allowed to talk because of the nuns. In both of the stories the characters fall in love but can't to be together because people won't allow it. It is important that Frank hears the ending of "The Highwayman" because after Patricia died he could relate back to the story since both of the girls die in the end.

"The Cold Equations’ Marilyn’s Point of View.”

The title of the story is “The Cold Equation” and it is told in third-person limited. The readers only feel and think like Barton because the story is told by his point of view. If the story would have been told by Marylin’s point of view it would be real different. One reason is because if the story was told from Marylin’s point of view we would know how she felt when she was saying her last goodbye’s to her brother and also how she felt when she talked to him. Another reason the story would be different is because we would know and more details would be embedded in the story to tell us how Marylin felt when she realized that she was going to die and never see her family again. The final reason is if it was told by Marylin point of view we would be able to understand what she is thinking and how she is feeling about the whole situation.

Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel is one of the books that caught my interest because of the flow it had to it and the rhythm.

Chilean Miners Rescue

In San Jose Mine, Chile on August 5, 2010, thirty-three Chilean miners were trapped in a mine with few amounts of food and water. They had no way to get out the mine due to their only opening being blocked by rocks and dirt. They had to wait and share their food and other things with each other for approximately two weeks. After being found they were given supplies and food by a small opening that was made by rescuers. The thirty-three men were trapped in the mine for sixty-nine days until yesterday, Wednesday October 14, 2010 they were rescued and taken to hospitals. Worried is how I would describe my feelings about this situation because nobody ever knows what could or is going to happen to these workers. I was worried not only for the workers but also for their families because they would suffer too if something occurred to their husband, wife, son, or any of their family members. If I was in the miner’s situation I would panic but also try to stay calm and find a way to help all my other co-workers so they could get out safe and go with their families. I would panic because many things could go wrong and sometimes miners aren’t found and are left abandoned, alive with no food or anything to keep us alive.

"Autobiographical Narrative Reflection.”

When it comes to writing I can do a great job only if I try and put effort into it. On my Autobiographical Narrative I wrote about my experience in Juvenile Hall and how miserable it was. I wrote on how I felt at the time at that time and all the emotions that were going through me. I also did well at giving details and describing how people and the place looked. The last thing I did well at was put myself back at the time of my horrible experience. I didn’t do that well on this paper because I felt like one week isn’t enough to write a narrative that will earn above grade level. I also procrastinated because I wasn’t going to write it because I felt like I wasn’t going to get a good grade. The last thing I will do different on my next paper is brainstorm and give full details. On my next paper I will put forth effort into writing it to earn above grade level.
