Reading and writing is something essential in today’s society. It is how people communicate without using spoken words. It is how we talk with certain combination of words that convey the message of what someone is trying to say. Essentially it is another way for a person to express himself/herself. For me personally I haven’t been the greatest with English. It is something that I feel I am not really good at, my writing has endless possibilities of improving when compared to others people’s work. I am not the greatest writer or reader as well. I feel that I can read fluently until I am halted by a word I have not seen or heard before. Even though have these shortcomings, I still love to read. I love to read material that has deep meaning or …show more content…
The poem in a gist is essentially saying that a person must face their challenges head on, and must control their own lives. It talks how we must fight and overcome these challenges even on the darkest of days. It also shows how even if we might lose you fight until you lose. It gave me such a realization for who I am. One of my favorite part was when Edgar Albert Guest says “You may fall, but fall still fighting; Don't give up, whate'er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish” 1 This was significant to me because even though you might be losing always fight to the end. I like this because it shows that a person may give up too soon but would not know the outcome if they had continue …show more content…
It has shown me that I must find meaning for everything around me and to value it because there is a reason why it is there. Through this poem I am now not afraid to encounter any challenges for I am ready to face it head on. In conclusion I feel this experience has changed my views on certain things in life and has definitely gave me an insight of what I have to do to survive

    In The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, the reader is led through the novel with a lot of uncertain thoughts and questions about the main characters, one in particular Oscar Wao. When I first started working on the assignment my topic was what and who is a real Dominican man? What characteristics does a true Dominican man have? Why isn’t Oscar like all the other Dominican Men? I found it strange that as I began to look through passages I was finding more of what the opposite of a real Dominican man was. The narrator seemed to mostly use the main character Oscar Wao to show the good and bad in Dominican man. In the first chapter we see that progression of Oscar Wao from being a “typical” Dominican man to miserably failing the “so-called” characteristics and personality of a real Dominican man. My goal of this paper is to examine certain passages to get a clearer idea of what characters fall into Yunior’s placement of a real Dominican Man. It seems as though the narrator is defining a real Dominican Man as one that doesn’t really care about girls and takes advantage of them. Also it seems that many people use the words “typical” and “normal” to describe a true Dominican Man, I wonder if they mean a typical/normal man is one that has the perfect looks and so called perfect personality. But to me it seems as though the personality part is defined as being a jerk. I am going to do this by looking through passages and interpret what I believe the narrator is trying to convince the readers.…

    The shift in images from the beginning to the ending of the poem served as a useful example in showing me how to switch the tone of a poem with grace (I was thinking about my condom poem in this instance) and how to structure lines and words in a way that make the reader think. All in all, Brewington hits the nail on the head with this poem by delivering a prepossessing story of life, death, and all the odd portions…

    Reading means the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message. How does a person that doesn’t know how to read make it through one day? Being literate is one of the most important skills to have. It’s something that is needed on a day to day basis. In the article “Superman and me” by Sherman Alexie, he shares his story about how he became a great reader and writer. He shows how important is to be literate in today’s society. While I recognized some differences to Sherman Alexie’s story to literacy at home, but I can identify myself with some parts of hs story at school.…

    When delivering a negative message the sender hopes to achieve a positive outcome; “the goals of an effective negative message are (a) to receive a positive response and (b) to maintain the goodwill of the message receiver” (p. 228). Krizan, Merrier, Logan, & Williams (2010). In early 2012 after I placed a buy for our local Country Music station, I received a phone call from the station owner directly. In all my previous dealings with the station, I had always dealt with the stations Director of Sales. While I personally knew the owner, I rarely did business with him. However, on this occasion…

    The mind is a powerful device. It controls the way we think and do things. It also controls how much happiness or sadness we have. Famous Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy said, “Happiness doesn’t depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.” I completely agree with this quotation for it is similar to the quote, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” We all see happiness in various ways, whether it being from money or from having family and friends.…

While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that things can change. This is one thought that came to mind when first reading the poem and this is what attracted me to it and as it relates to any hopeless situations it really does apply to all aspects of life.…
