The Lowest Animal.

I remember back in my childhood days where I always played outside in the parks where there were trees and games to play, but today even kids at that age don't all do the same. Some kids today just stay home and play with their gameboys(or even psps?). What I'm trying to say is that as time moves on, our technology will improve, and the more it advances the more changes it brings to our way of life. I know we have to look into our futures to move on, but soon it will become something we never wished for. I don't want to lose the life I am living right now today. I know technology is great, but so is our world. Our trees, our animals, our wonders of nature have been given to us by God, and we should always keep it with us to show God that we appreciate him for giving us all life. Taking it all away would just turn us into something else, something God did not meant for us. Let's keep nature with us forever to the end of time, shall we?

New Version of Huck Finn.

I think there shouldn't be a change into the story of Huck Finn because that would make the story less likely clever since back those years there was a lack of respect against the blacks. I know the N word is racist, but it helps make the story get more into its setting. Today, black people are not always called Ns...but back them they were.

Great Student Writing.

I can hardly remember any other writing assignment besides my latest which was called Run with a Price. This was my favorite writing assignment, but overall my favorite assignment so far is Transcendentalism. As my teacher went through correcting stuff in my story, there was rarely any mistakes(just mispelling). My writing is not perfect, but it is well skilled if you ask me. I could try improving it by looking at professionals' work of writing.

JIM

In the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", there is an african character called Jim. From what I've read about him, he isn't very bright, plus he is superstitious.

Scene#1: Jim is a man who is portrayed as a superstitious person as in the book. He acts as if he is able to talk with spirits of either the afterlife, either good or evil.

Scene#2: Jim looks more clever and caring in this one. He was like a slave, who is owned by another person and is obliged to follow orders or else pain or death could be consequences. Jim wants to escape to a free-state to begin a new better life.

Both scenes portrayed Jim very differently. They both had totally different personalities and duties.

Satire in Shrek 2.

1.) Exaggeration: To show something to be larger, smaller, better, or worser than what it actually is. Ex: When donkey keeps saying "No one said I have the right to speak!" (I think)

2.) Incongruity: Not in harmony. Ex: Fairy godmother's scene when she gives Fiona a bunch of many different gifts.

3.) Reversal: The change to an opposite direction of an action. Ex: When Fiona denies her fairy godmother's luxurious gifts.

4.)An imitation of someone or something with humor into it and comic effect. Ex: When the sleeping beauty was in deep sleep and just fell to the floor.

Kindred Project Questions.

1.) My favorite found poem is the one that starts with "The room seemed to blur and darken around me"

2.) My favorite picture was the group of Jasmine Sage. Some great art they put onto their poster.

3.) My favorite quote is "Seconds count when something is trying to kill you." This is actually from my group. This tells a lot from the story because it actually does show events in the story that have situations about life or death. The word "seconds" is important too because time traveling is the reason for the main character going through dangerous situations.

4.) After reading about the characters, I believe thinks could probably get worser from what I read. I think Rufus will be terribly raised by his bad father and turn Rufus exactly like him, which will lead to torture against slaves and perhaps against Dana's ancestors as well.

Slavery and America Today.

How did slavery change America? Slavery changed America by affecting the attitude towards true freedom to African descendants. Even though slavery is no more, there is still some hatred left for some Americans towards Africans descendants.
