He is my childhood friend and he speaks honestly whenever he is with me and he can be trusted with anything. He is a calm and levelheaded guy when it comes to things outside of school but other than that he is always paranoid. On the other hand, Red represents the one I hold dearest to my heart. Ha Kyoung Cha is passionate, courageous, determined, and a born leader. She is more out going than many, especially Andres, but she likes to relax, enjoy her free time, even when she has none, and loves to watch some Korean dramas. Although they are different, they tend to get along pretty well and with that being said they kind of seem similar in some rather simple ways. As many tell him, Andres is a smart man, he has he writing skills of a master and he is able to think beyond that of anyone else I know. He is the type of person to think outside of the box whenever the situation gets complicated yet he is the opposite when things are simple. Throughout my life I was never the type of person to write but when the time came to do essays or research papers, I always looked to him for some assistance.

    Becker 100). Soto exclaimed that he was marginal kid; this means that he could have either ended up in prison or easily graduate from college. He put forth more effort in other things than school, such as girls or work. As a child and teen Mr. Soto was never interested in his schooling but he tried his hardest to find work. He never realized how important school was until after he graduated from high school with a below average grade point average at a 1.6. After he finished high school he attended a community college and got inspired to start writing poetry. Mr. Soto felt as if he had a knack for writing, so he transferred to a Fresno State in California. After he finished college he wrote and won awards for a book of poetry at 24 years of age called, “The Elements of San Joaquin.” Mr. Soto is a very talented writer in adult writing but in the late 1980’s he started to tackle children books and succeeded. He currently writes poetry books for all ages and he manages to have time to be a full time English lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley (Needham). I believe that Soto’s work in poetry and books can be humorous, serious, and very moving and the way he describes the scene in his writings help contribute to his talent as a writer.…

    Rodriguez begins with straight-forward sentence structure (in paragraph 95), writing: “Cesar had an excellent mind.” He is simply stating a thesis, thereby setting up the reader for supporting evidence.
