Taming of the Shrew 12/20-12/24

  

         I just finish reading the Taming of the Shrew. I was never a big fan of Shakespeare work. When I read Romeo and Juliet I though wow that wasn’t that great. Everyone always was saying that is one the most amazing plays of all time. Will that was big lie. When we started reading the Taming of the Shrew, I thought it might be a really good back. I was hoping the girl Katharina would stand dup to the men in the end and all the females would join her. No that didn’t happen in the end she becomes the most obedient pet out of all of them. What happen? Just because she lost some sleep and didn’t eat food awhile she gave up. That is the lamest ending ever. Shakespeare has no real respect for woman. He makes Juliet die, he makes Katharina become obedient pet and all other woman is lower than their husbands. This makes me think was really that bad back then? If so I’m so glad that I was not born back then. If so was I feeling so sorry for any lame guy who thinks he can tame me. I will kick his butt all the way to the next century.  Next year I hope we won’t read anymore Shakespeare next year. I’m not a fan of reading something in very old English and it isn’t that hard to understand but there are some parts your thinking “What is going on”. Will now I like Romeo and Juliet way better than the Taming of the Shrew. At least in the end Romeo didn’t make Juliet all obedient. Now I kind a like it now. Also I already said it ten times, but I hate making up our own ideas. We waste time sitting here thinking of an idea.      

music 12/20-12/24

   Music is one the most important things in my life. I can’t even think of a day when I haven listen to music. I love to listen to all different types of music. One day I will love one song and the next day I won’t listen to it. I can listen to one song a million times. I like to listen to music when I’m doing work because it keeps me calm and relax. I like to listen to music in the car and on the bus. The main reason I listen to it one the bus is because my bus is extremely loud and no one does anything about it. So I listen to block out the winy voices on the bus. People on my bus love to argue and try to start fights with one another. It is very stupid. I never listen to music that much outside my house because it always seems like my cd is dead or my headphones were broken. Will I listen to the stereo in our house a lot, especially in the morning before we went to school. I still listen to music in the morning one the bus. I think my least favorite type of music is the really deep country music, when the guy is singing about America and all that stuff. I don’t like that kind of music at all. But besides that type of music, I mostly listen to all genres. Will those are my reason why I love music so much and how I will have a lot of spare time on my hands if I couldn’t listen to music. I love YouTube for its many choices and how it is free. Another thing I would like to say is that I do not like making up your own idea for your blogs at all.   

freedom 12/20-12/24

                             Freedom is important to everyone. But let’s face it freedom isn’t as fun as everyone makes it out as. Sometimes it is easier to let someone have some control over you. In one more month I’m going to be driving. Some people get overly excited by just thinking about it. I however am not. I can’t just sit in the back and listen to my music anymore. Every time we go somewhere my mom is going to make me drive. However having freedom is a very good thing. When you have a decision in front of you, you don’t want someone else make it for you, especially if it is a very big decision. Don’t you want the choice to make that decision? Even if it is the wrong choice you can learn from it. If we didn’t have freedom today I won’t be allowed to have this blog or write articles on my opinions. In fact this class might not even exist, if we didn’t have freedom. In days world when you watch shows on TV and you see the kid sneaking out and claiming they have no freedom. This is just showing what some people have to fight for to get what they want in the end.  In the end of the fighting is it really worth it as you image it. I doubt it is. For now it is good to settle with the freedom you have in today’s world. Sure your parents may not let you do what others kids are doing. But when you wake up the next morning safe and sound in your bed you will be thankful. Sometimes when the parent s let their kids go out that may be the last time they will ever see them again. So for now be thankful for what you have. P.S Mr. Currin I hate making up my own topics.

12/13-12/17 poem

A New Day Coming

by Mychal Wynn

   When the sun announces the dawning day

Just flex your muscles and start on your way.

Go over, or under, around, or through

Any obstacles or hurdles that challenge you.

There's a new day coming.

   Cast aside the failures of yesterday.

Forget the peaks and valleys that have paved your way.

Wipe the sweat from your brow and the dust from your shoe.

Take a breath and relax so that you may begin anew.

There's a new day coming.

     Forget the burdens and obstacles that have held you back.

Focus on your dreams and prepare a plan of attack.

There are battles awaiting to challenge your success.

Daring you to stand tall and to give it your best.

There's a new day coming.

   No matter how great the journey, or how heavy the load

How steep the mountain, or how rough the road.

When your arms grow weary and legs give way

Stop and rest for a moment, it will be okay.

There's a new day coming.

   As shadows spring forth from the setting sun.

Take a moment and savor the battles you've won.

Sleep peacefully tonight and enjoy your rest.

Awaken tomorrow and continue your quest.

There's always, a new day coming.

                          

I like this poem because it tells you no matter how hard today were. Tomorrow is always coming and it everything can change. It makes me think about all the difficult things people have to do on daily basics. Some people may had more pain then others. But everyone always get a new tomorrow. Some get more than others. Remember tomorrow can be the day where your life is beginning. That today is going be yesterday in few hours. It may take a while longer than others. This poem tells me today pain can’t hold you back for tomorrow.  This also tells us don’t worrying about stopping and just looking around you always have tomorrow to get everything done. Then again you don’t have all the time in the world. You will die sooner or later will die. I also like this poem it is telling you to focus on your dreams and goals in life. Put down your everyday work life for a day and work on your dreams. It is important to have a dream, a goal or you will not have any real meaning to your life. You will soon lose all hope for today and then you will give up everything you have. But one day when you finally come back from your little world. You still might have some time to complete your goal in life. You don’t want to let go of your dream no one does. Some people are force to give up their dream by their parents or husband/wives. Do you should be lucky that you are allowed to dream in life and try to get it. Don’t give up your dream no matter how bad the situation is. There is always tomorrow to get your dream and no one can take it away.

12/13-12/17 What is beauty?

   Now a day’s people believe beauty is what you look like. If you’re not supposedly “beautiful” then you’re not worth their time or you’re just not good enough for them, which isn’t true a person should not be judge on how they look. It just stereotypes that “beautiful” are the best people in the world.  Looking at a blonde and thinking she is dumb because she is a blonde. People need stop using their eyes and try using their words. If you talk to that supposedly dumb blonde for a minute or two you can learn their not at all dumb. If the prettiest girl the meanest person alive to you only want to hang out with her because she is pretty. Will let’s hope you like talking to yourself a lot or not at all endless you like being scream or being treated badly. Treating someone just because they look is on biggest mistakes some can make. You can miss out on a really good friend just because you thought they went “pretty” enough. How would you feel if someone just dismisses you because you weren’t up to their standards? You feel horrible. That’s why beauty is skin deep. Sure that sounds like a really old saying but it is very true. The most hideous person alive can be the best person you will ever meet. That is what beauty is not your looks it your heart. You got let people in to find out if their good person or not. Of course that is your own choice. No one can make you do something you don’t want to do. Yet there are always results at the end. Whether it was good or bad it was your choice you cannot plan anyone else but yourself. For the decisions you have made in life. But you can always change.  

12/13-12/17 learned about yourself as a writer

        I learn how to take criticism better. I learn how to read and catch more of my mistakes. I really don’t know how my writing process worked. I just think of something and start writing. It might take me awhile to think of something I want to write about and how interesting it is to me. I really don’t like to write plan old boring information and how you must have it in a certain format. Like the MLA style. I like to write about tons of things like adventure triadic and more. It makes a story more interesting if something interesting is going on not just to people sitting in a room talking. I like to write random things. Sometimes I just might get a random and write it down somewhere.  I know this class had impact my writing style. I know I still have problems with grammar and spelling. This class impact my way of setting up the store. Sometimes I just start writing then stop because they’re so many or so little directions I can go with it and I just stop writing that store. This class helps me think thing through before I start writing. Sure it is good idea to start writing without stopping. But if you don’t have a plan to continue your writing then you might just stop. This class has helped me a lot. First it taught me I should always have editor by my side. Secondly I should never make fun of certain people endless I’m my writing is perfect. Third is Mr. Currin can make a very funny mean face. Fourth be sure you have a clue what you’re writing about. Those are things that I learn from online publishing. To think I just took this class to fill up my schedule.   

When gnome attack!!! 12/6-12-10

I was wait for my bus as usual we have a substitute bus driver today. Ugh I’m going be the last one to get to my class. I want my original bus driver back at least she comes early enough. Then I felt something pulling on my leg. I look down and their standing next to me was a little gnome.

     “Help us we are being attack my evil dog name spot” it said

       “First off, that’s my dog; secondly he isn’t all that bad. Go and do whatever gnome do and leave me alone.”

         “Come with us NOW us have no choice”

          “Really I have no choice what are you going to do?”

          “We will attack you.”

           “Oh really I just can’t do this”

             I left up my leg and kick the Gnome 20 feet away from me. It landed head first in the dirt.

         “Get her” Yelled the little gnome who had his head still stuck in dirt.

             Out of nowhere 20 gnomes appear. They all came charging at me. I keep kicking them away.

           Then I decide to pick one up.

           “Ok what do you guys really want? Tell me right now or I’m getting my dog out here.”

            “Ok ok don’t hurt me. We thought you might have cookies we can steal from you”

          “Seriously you attack me for cookies. Then again it isn’t like I never did that before. Also my mom doesn’t buy us junkie food, so you guys are out of luck”

            “NOOOOOOOOO” They all scream while running away.

12/6-12-10 favorite childhood game

  My favorite game I use to play with my sisters, cousins, and neighbors were Hide n Seek. We use to invite are neighbors and cousins over who use to live across the street to play with us. They usual came over when are parents weren’t home. We would hide throughout the house and the couch was the safety. There was no puppy guarding. We had this opening in the wall and we would jump throw it and on to couch. Once at my cousins’ house we were playing Hide n Seek and I laid perfectly flat on my stomach in laundry room they had. No one couldn’t find me at all. I could hear people walking in front door and look in then they walk away. No one was smart enough to go fully in and look for me. I heard my sisters yelling my name looking for me. I eventually gave myself up everyone else was found and I was getting bored just lying their looking at the cloths that surrounds me. That was the best hiding place every. The second best hiding place I had was behind the door. We were suppose take a stuff animal and hide with it. I pick this huge lion animal to hide with me. But it was too big to hide behind the door with me. So I ended up ditching it. My sisters couldn’t’ find me forever until I believe Sarah found me hiding. That was one my favorite games to play when I was younger.      

12/6-12-10 favorite childhood television show

                 I had many favorite televisions when I was a kid. But I got to say my favorite show out all of them was Sailor Moon. Yes it is a little girly but it does have fights in it and that’s made it interesting for me. I always wanted to be Sailor Moon because we both had blond hair. My sister also wanted to be her to. We always got in argument over who is Sailor Moon. To this day I believe that the argument was never settled. If the argument ever came up again I will still fight to be Sailor Moon. I think the reason why I like the shows was not only because of the fights because of the power they had to. Also Serena was walking down street looking at poster for Sailor Venus video game and she was wishing that she could be someone like that and of course it happen. Yes I do remember this. I still love the show to this day. I was very sad when they cancel it on television. My sister and I always watch it in the morning pretending to be the Sailor Scouts. This show was one of the best shows around when I was younger now they got a lot of dumb kid shows playing. That’s why Sailor Moon will always be one of my favorite shows. I had a lot of favorite shows as a kid. But this one beats all the other shows hands down. Until they change the person who did Serena voice. That was just horrible.

What is art? 11/29-12/3

          What is art? Many people have their own opinion on that question. Some thinks it just an artist in a room painting a bowl of fruit. Art can come in many forms. My opinion on art is that it can be anything that your mind lets it be. If you just stare at a painting of a chair in a corner and say what is the point of that. But if you let your mind wonder and think of up a story for why that chair is their or think of a message behind it then that to you can be art. If you can think of something about the story, painting or drawing and find something beneath the surface it can be art. If you want it to be art it can be art. It there is a pile of junk in corner and you think why the heck is this junk here get it out of here right now. You aren’t trying using your imagination. If you can look at that pile of junk and find message or maybe see a creature shape out of it. Then you are using your mind. Art can be basically anything if you let it be. Some people stick with the strict ways and don’t use their imagination. If it’s a paining hanging on a wall and you just some “Ohh it’s a wonderful peace of art”. Without even looking at it, you have no real reason why to you that piece of work is art. Then it isn’t a real piece of work to you it just a painting on a wall you just think it is art. You have no connection or any thought behind. That is my definition of art you must have message, story, or even a thought about it for you to consider it art.
