My first college English class

When I first started the Model Scholars I did not know what to expect. I fresh out of high school and tired from all my stresses from life. In your class I felt like I could be myself and at the same time learn. You taught me how to be efficient and how to not always worry. Ever paper I overthought and things never seemed to turn out exactly how I wanted them to. When gave us the option of having you for GE 103 I hopped on that train quick fast and in a hurry. You taught me there is more to English then just sitting in class writing and taking notes all the time. Our discussions were wide in their and often seemed like we were constantly getting off topic but nevertheless some how and some way you managed to tie it back to our topic at the time. It was a challenging and easy five weeks and even though I may never know how to use verb subject agreement, or comma splices and how when you gasp for air put a comma, and also how to write down my thoughts effectively and get to the point. You gave me one the best gifts anyone has ever given how to be fully dependent and believe in myself, and for that I say Thank You!!!! See you in the fall hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and congrats on your new house.

Violence in the Media

Violence in the media definitely causes aggressiveness, problems with social skills, ability to retain information. I am to closely related with this topic, my younger brother suffers from autism and because of this I have to extra careful with everything I do around him. His name is Donnavin he is 12 years old and just by looking at him you would think that he is a healthy young boy, but looks can be deceiving. Every morning that he wakes up he needs help getting dressed, making his breakfast and receiving his medicine, remembering to brush his teeth and gets his book bag before he goes to school. When he comes home the only thing that is on his mind is his Nintendo DS. His homework obviously comes first but to him he thinks he might be able to do it later on. Along with the Nintendo DS, my brother also plays XBox360,PS3,WII and the Kinect. He does not like going outside because the only thing that is on his mind are his games, when my mother and I try to take it from him he resorts to throwing a temper tantrum and crying and yelling. As far as violence within the media it is in everything that young children view on TV. Shows such as Dragon Ball Z Kai, Avator the Last Airbender, Power Rangers, The Boondocks, Pokémon, Adventure Time and Transformers. If we do not get a hold on what are children are watching who knows that are liable to become in the future.

1941-It all comes crashing down!!!

You gotta be kidding me!?!?

In this chapter Sula has died and everyone in the bottom is joyful because they no longer have to be worried about Sula Peace. A day after she died it was a brighter day then usually but then all of a sudden it turned a silver color. A heavy snow had fell upon the city of Medallion that stopped all trade of food. They could not get from point A to point B. Once the snow had all gone away and everyone could come out of their homes successfully Shadrack came with his bells rope, and childish stirring up a good time in the community. Not even thinking that it is National Suicide Day they joined in on the fun with him. It was not Shadrack's intention on having people kill themselves it was just something that happened. While they were all singing and dancing they walked through the white part of town and destroyed it and the bridge they were promised to help build. While destroying the bridge it collapsed and everyone died besides Shadrack, he stood at the top of the tunnel and just watched. This closely related to another character we know to well Sula. She watched Chicken Little die and she watched her mother burn to death.
