Essay post game analysis

I think I did alright in this essay, I had to revise a lot of it and im happy with the way it came out. If I were to make it better I would make it a little bit longer and maybe add more content from the beginning and middle of the novel instead of just the required ending. I had a few references to other parts of the novel but not as much as I would of liked. Also I would have added the part about the monk who self immolation for his beliefs. And how that ties into the story. I believe I deserve a B+ to an A.  :)

Literary analysis 1

In wizards first rule by Terry Goodkind. Richard, a common woods guide stumbles upon a woman being chased by a group of men. Kahlan and Richard battle the men and kill them. Later in the book Richard is named the seeker of truth by his friend and now known wizard Zed. Richard Kahlan and Zed travel to a far away land to find an evil dictator who is trying to rule the world.  At the end if their travels Richard kills the evil lord Darken Rahl. Once Rahl is killed, Richard learns that rahl is his father. I think the tone of this story is an upbeat adventurist mood.


Characterization :
Richard: throughout the story Richard grows from being a woods guide too a leader and warrior.
Using the sword of truth and the magic that comes with it. Richard is unbeatable and ferocious, nicknamed the bringer of death by enemy soldiers.

Kahlan amnell: Kahlan grows a lot from the beginning of this story, she is a confessor. Which is the highest form of magic in the world. Kahlan soon starts to fall in love with Richard. But hides her power from him in fear that he will be afraid of her power.

Lit circle group

So today me and Nick went to the orcutt library and ready for an hour. Cameron couldnt make it. But we got a lot of good stuff from our conversation.
here are just some of the topics that were brought up that connect to this book
1. inception. Yes that confusing movie that makes you think and ask the quesiton; Is he dead, or alive? in inception the whole point in the movie is too implant a false memory into the mind of someone else. a Basic idea or question. to make that person question things. Now back to the book. Clarisse implanted a fundamental basic question into Montags mind. Why? That one question, changes montag. With that one question he Starts to wonder and think for himself. Which in this book in these times, are not something you want to do. But one thing me and Nick absolutly loved, was a quote on page 58. it says "Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but every everyone made equal."

The peeved pedestrian

This is definitellay a hard question. If bradbury wrote this book now. I would say he wrote this book because it's a possible future. The ideas in this book tie so well into our society, that i am speechless as to how the heck he knew all this was going to happen 50 years before it happened!? Like truely it doesnt say things plain and right out, but if you take the book one page at a time and then stop and think what somethings mean. It seriously just sounds like hes talking of the future in 15 years tops. Now, ill admit, i do not like this book. But i do really really do like the theme's and ideas that this book has in it. Me and Nick P. had a reading group and the orcutt library. It took us a complete hour to get from page 54, to page 70. And not because we are bad readers buecause thats not true. But because every page and a haf, to every two pages. We'd stop and reflect on it. This book truely is amazing. But why he wrote this book? i havent a clue. hopefully you (Dr. Preston) will enlighten us on why he wrote this.

I'm not a poet and Nick knows it! :P

   So the title of this post is a little defferent from what my teacher orriginally intended, but i like this one much, MUCH better. Todays assignement was to write one single poem. As i sat for 20 minutes I had literally 3 sentences. Poetry is NOT my thing. Hopefully at the end of this i will be able to write a poem :) well see in a couple of days.

Theme for English 3

Am i the person my teachers think i am outside of school? Well, last year i would say no. I let my grades slip and other things get in the way oh my schooling. This semester, hopefully i can say yes, I would say i am a very smart and knowledgeable person. With some talents that not only teacher, but also most of my fellow students did not know. Like my passion for music, i have loved music since i started playing the drums when i was only 5 years old. yeah do the math 5, 17 now. wow 12 years of drumming. yeah only a handfull of other students know this and not a single teacher. Now back to english 3 and away from me personally. Can i be myself while i persue knowledge and find my place in this world? Sometimes heck yeah. other times.. Definitily not. I am a very talkative person (when im not being shy) and in my classes talking a lot would be bad for my understanding of the lesson. Other times i can definitly be myself as i enjoy said class and teachings, giving my perverbial two cents into the conversation and lesson. Any one has talents, some might not be as cool as others but everyone has their own talents to bring to a classroom and enrich the learning experience. People keep many things privet, I know i have my secrets. But what would socializing and making friends be without secrets to keep and to tell. And if i told you what i kept privet, well then it would'nt be privet anymore would it? And it is most definitily possible for someone to take ownership of his/her learning experience. Some will shy away and slack. Others will shine and stand out. But thats life, if you want something, get out there and get it! If not you will just be a small fish in a huge pond. Make the most of what you have. :)

So im going for straight A's in all my classes and atleast an 1800 on my SAT. So the plan is to buckle down, and just hit the books hard.
