Summary

I found an interesting article about some girl getting robbed and kidnapped, here it is link.

An Isla Vista woman was captured monday afternoon and the police are looking for two hispanic men that allegedly committed this crime. I think that this is crazy that there could be this type of crime close to me. I didn't know how dangerous the world can be. I could do something about it but i am just simple me. She was walking on Abrego road and was forced to her bank to withdraw her money. I think that is insane. :o

Paragraph

Knowledge, knowledge is they key to power tbh. I define knowledge with someone who is highly educated at something. It could be education, or a varsity player at a sport. They know what they are doing. Knowledge is basically what someone does that is higher above then someone. There could be education knowledge where you are really intellectual

Controversial topic

Anime, mmhh well first off I think that anime is the greatest thing ever created. That's just me some people might hate it with a passion, and that is their own choice. The things I can't stand though is when someone says they hate anime, but they have never even tried watching it . I'm like really ;-; that's not even cool that's like saying your at a dinner table and there is something new. You say you hate it, but you have never even tried it before. The only thing I can say is that you should at least try watching anime 

There are many different types of animes. For example there can be a sports anime like a soccer basketball tennis football baseball anime, there really no limit of anime there is out there. There is magic fighting anime just total awesomeness. I get that anime is not for everyone, but they should at least try anime. At first I thought I would hate it but now I've been watching a lot lately and it's kind of taking over my life :( but the animes are so much better then our regular tv shows in my opinion. 

Lit Analysis #8 essay choice

How do the generations differ in their ideas about love and family? how does each difference manifest itself in the way each generation deals with issues such as marriage, divorce, and child rearing?

    Marriage is a big deal now, shows that you are making a commitment to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. In the book the Joy Luck Club there is a lot of marriages. Not only that, but there are tons of different opinions about the topic of marriage. The different generations have their own thoughts about it. There is really no right or wrong answer about it.
    Take Lena's vase for example, she had put the vase in a dangerous area. She didn't do anything to protect the vase. Supposedly her husband Harold had built the table. unstable and wobbly. Basically saying that he didn't put enough love into his marriage so when Lena realizes this she does nothing. Ying-ying "accidentally" makes the vase fall and shatter on the floor. She tells Lena she should something instead of just standing there and let it passively happen. Not to be a standby.
    Lindo Jong is married her and her husband light a red wick candle at each end. If the candle were to blow out prematurely it would be bad. Lindo didnt want to get married so she blew it out during the night. One of the servants had relit. Later they all found out that the candle had "died" So Lindo gets herself out of the marriage. Lindo is creating her own fate by blowing out the candle. Showing that she is in control of it she had a choice. The candle is showing that it is a tradition, but know it is showing power.
    In the end marriage is marriage you get to control what happens so ultimately you can do whatever you want. Lindo had took matter in her own hands. She did that by using the the tradition of the candle to get out of her marriage. Lena on the other hand was basically a door mat. She let people walk all over her. She could've changed the marriage. She could've done anything, but no she just stood there and let her marriage crumble. In marriage the choice is all yours. There is no one that could guide you through it. It it just you and your partner. No one else.

Lit analysis #2

Of Mice and Men 

By: John Steinbeck

For the literature analysis, I had read of Mice and Men. The main characters were George and Lennie. Lennie was a buff guy that really didn't know his own strength. While George was very smart and very aware of his surroundings. Lennie wasn't the smarted person. George takes care of Lennie while they look for a job and find work at a farm. Lennie is a clutz. He always gets into trouble be he kills the farmers wife and in the end George has to kill Lennie.

The main theme was that to be careful of your actions. Lennie doesn't know what is wrong and what is right. He hurts things because of his abnormal strength. George has to basically be a baby sitter for Lennie since he doesn't know anymore. Throughout the book George has to constantly be watching over Lennie because without George he would be lost.

The protagonist, George would be a dynamic and round character. Reason for Dynamic is because he shows all of the emotion. George is a good person who had to make tough decisions. Lennies' very important because he is the one cause all of the problems that's George has to fix.

Forgiveness is significant. George always ends up forgiving Lennie. Reason for this because he understands Lennie doesn't do it on purpose. George is a very understanding person and cares very much about Lennie.

Reason I chose this book was because I read it in junior high. I really loved the book. I felt that I remembered parts of it and I loved it. Once I started reading I just lost myself in the book. I had finished it in one day. That's how good it was for me.

I think Lennie would be the closest character to me. Reason for that is because I'm really lost in school. I don't know what I am doing. It's not that I am strong or anything like that I am just very curious about the world.

Thing I will remember the most about the book would be the ending. Spoiler alert. When George is chasing after Lennie. George grabs the gun and status telling Lennie about what they are going to do with their farm. It gets rally emotional. Once he is done talking George shoots Lennie in the head. It had to be done. That is what I will never forget. Of Mice and Men is really a truly amazing book
