Big question: life after high school

Well I'm a Jr in HS so its time to think about life after high school. I'm already half way down with Jr year getting closer to Senior year. To think about that life after high school is kind of scary when you think of it. Most of all every hard when most of us don't own what went to do or be in life. Well for me I'm hoping to do Cosmetology and Barbering in  a school called Paul Mitchell schools in San Diego.    Paul Mitchell's it's every well know for there products. But why San Diego you might say because of its huge place that it has if you just see pictures about the place it looks like it should be museum. Yeah i get it, it might look nice but why not closer to home to your family? I love my family don't get me wrong but i just want to see if i can actually do this like its a big step i want to take in my life.    I might  not leaving right after high school, I'm gonna stay in my hometown for 6 to 7 months to work my ass off so i can collect mo...

Finals

The biggest part of the ending of the semester, what everyone freaks out about FINALS. This year my English teacher asked what do we want to have on are final. I've never heard a teacher ask that, it's usually them telling us what's gonna be on the test, study and then good look. I liked that he 's letting us choice on what will be on the Final. Instead of being a surprised and then being so lost, like when did I learn this. To answer he's question what I would like there to be on the final exam is Richard Cory, Right to your opinion, Earth on turtle's back, A dream within a dream, Vocabulary and I want it to Multiple choice.

"Immigrants in our own land"

This is about well immigrants that come to the land of there dreams. There getting asked questions checked by doctors. There excited to go work. But at the it ends up being worse then they old land. They start talking on how great there old land is and how better it is compared to this. Only earning 3 cents a hour. They see a  nice mew person come in all nice with a nice hair cut and everything owning that later he's gonna miss his old land like the rest working there.

What's next for me?

I've learned so much by just being in this class. Just on the new way of learning that we get in the course. I've learned about Richard Cory on how everyone saw him perfect when he was not and at the end he killed him self. On right to my own opinion where everyone has a voice no matter who you are. There's much more but I'm not just learning school stuff, I'm also learning things about the world. Things we will need in life. Like are Resume how they should be and look like. What they should have and not have. Little things like that come a long way.

Emerson for the young buck

The meaning of self reliance is  reliance on one's own powers and resources rather than those of others. T he individual may achieve such a relationship with nature and God through self-reliance. To be self- reliance  individuals must avoid conformity and false consistency, follow their own instincts and ideas, and remain true to themselves.

First paragraph on Self-Reliance

So far the first paragraph is not boring me to sleep which in this case is good. Besides not making me fall asleep, I really don't understand whats its trying to say I just read it 3 times and get more lost. I don't understand on whats  it's talking about well i kind of do but really at the same time I'm confused.

Something interesting about the book I'm reading

As you know the book I'm reading is The Dogs Of Winter by Bobbie Pyron.  It's about a abandoned boy on the city streets, why you might say because for some reason hes mother disappear. With little chance to live because of the harsh winter, unexpectedly he is adopted by a pack of dogs who quickly become more than just his street companions, they become his family. That's just from reading the back of the book and a couple pages in. What do you think does it sound interesting enough? Let's see what journey this new family takes.

The book I chose for my first literature analysis is THE DOGS OF WINTER by Bobbie Pyron.  Stay with me and see where this story takes us and how it ends. So far by just reading the back of the book it sounds good: "A small boy, cruel city and the incredible dogs who save him."

The tone of the story Young Goodman Brown is serious through much f the story. From the begging of the story you can tell because of the devilish stranger. He's uses of words like "evil", "dreary" and "grave" those words gives you a sense of evilness. Also he uses contrast as a way to see the village as good and the forest as bad.

Earth on turtle's back theme/tone

The theme of  Earth on turtles back is that even if your small you can do anything. Like the tiny Muskrat she brought Earth when none of the other animals could. The tone of this story is beautiful because it shows so much. How the world was made and being small does not mean anything and it should not stop you either. This story is meaningful.

Richard Cory theme/tone

The theme of  Richard Cory rich and has fame will not make you happy. You can have so much but yet it will never fill the emptiness inside or the feeling of emptiness. The tone at the begging is like wow all these people admire him. At the end the tone is sad and surprising because while everyone thought he was good and happy he kills him self. This story is filled with irony.

Earth on turtle's back

Just know that the meaning behind this story i love so much and is very true. This story is about a women that falls from the sky and the animals from the ocean saw her falling and catch her. They see that the woman needs land and they want to bring it up. Many try to swim to the bottom of the ocean to get the land but they couldn't. Then they hear this little voice speak up "I will bring up Earth or die trying" to there surprise its a tiny Muskrat. The Muskrat dove down and swam to the bottom. Even if she felt her lungs about to burst.

Richard Cory

Richard Cory talks about this guy that is very rich. Everyone wanted to be him, people looked up to him. At the end he shoots him self, no one knows why. He had everything, but was he happy? Maybe he did not show it but a person might seem okay from the outside and dying inside. He might have had so much but yet he might have felt empty inside.

Right to my opinion

Everyone should have the right to there opinions. People should be more open minded about it. Everything has a right or wrong but there's two sides to things. Not everyone has the same mind set, everyone has there very own and also there own opinion. Everyone should have a chance to be heard, no one should be silenced because what they have to say might be important just like what you got to say.
