(Blog #6) Ipod World: "The End Of Society"

I think that the author is trying to make a statement that alot of us are way involed with our electroincs than with what is happening around us. A lot of people have Ipods, Iphones, Cell phones, and computers. I know for me I am always on my computer or Laptop and it really bad because I have a hard time taking my eyes away from the screen to do something else for a bit that is more important than my ipod or computer. I love how the author said that at the end he lost his Ipod and realized that it was not the end of the world and that he didn't need an ipod for music that there is muisic all around us. If we just open our ears and look around us we can her birds chriping, construtions builders working, people talking or sing or hear a water fall. A lot of people don't realize that being on Electrioncs for so long can give you headches and make your eyes blood shot looking which can cause you to go blind or have to get glasses. I think that if we were to realize all the bad effects that electrions can to do to us phsyical and metal that a lot more people would try to not use electrions so much or stop using them.

(Blog #5) Why Don't We Complain?

I really like what William F. Buckley Jr. talks about how a lot of us get to scared or nerves to ask like a moive thearter if they can fix the movie screen because its to blurry and its hard to see it. The reason we are to nerves to go ask is because we don't want to make a fool or have them get mad at us. A lot of the time we think that other will go ask or complain but that doesn't always happpen because they could be nervoues to ask to. But if we take the courage and go ask or complain about something that is not right then others might get the hint hey that person complained or ask if they do something about the problem. I know that I get really shy and don't speak up because I think that someone will either ask the question that I am thinking about but that is impossible because none of us can read each others mind. I have had to learn to stand up for myself and ask a question that I have so that I can understand what is going on but maybe I have help some else out. Also by us asking questions helps us not to be so nervouse when we have a problem and don't understand something and having someone explain to us what they are talking about and what is going on. Will help boost our confidence there are different times when asking a question would be nerver racking and your not sure if the time is right to ask it but hey it dose not hurt to ask the question as long as it at an okay time and stuff.

(Blog #4) Negative Capability

The picture is an old fashion picture, It's a black and white picture, four men are wearing hats, two men are overalls, there is a grocey store, there is a tire, one man is wearing nice clothes, one man is holding a shovel, two men are not wearing socks,there is an old time gas pump. The three main things that stand out to me first the five men because of the way they stand and also the men are wearing different clothes. The second things that stands out to me is the tire on the vechile stands out to me because it's a really white color where as the other white color's in the picture's don't jump out at me as the white tire does. The third thing is the gas fuel pump because you see bricks on both side of the picture then you have this black gas fuel pump in the middle. There is five men standing outside of the grocey store. Also it looks like the five men are relaxing outside the grocey store. One of the men are sitting on the bar stool and holding a shovel. Two of the men are baseball players and it looks like one of the baseball players are holding a Cocoal bottle. Another man looks like he is holding his hat in his head unstead of wearing it on his head. The vechile looks like like it is a ford truck with black and white tires.

(Blog #3) Shitty First Drafts

1. I think that Lamott is saying when she refers to "The fantasy of the uninitatiated" in paragraph 1 is that people think that it is so easy for writters to come up with ideas and start writing them down on paper. But that is not true it can take a write from a couple days to a couple of years to to write a book. Also I think that some people think that writers don't have to stress about when they are going to get there book due and that they have all this free time to write there ideas for there book that they are going to be publishing someday. Some people think that writers have to worry about making money because they are rich but if they are having a hard time writing a book and it take them longer than it could hurt them but people don't think about that.

2. I think that in pararagraph 7 that Lamott is refers to her own experinces on how she writes her drafts due to writing for such a long time. She nows has a method on how to write her first draft and then what she does before writting her second draft.  Also when she says she does more or less. It means that she freaks out more than less.

3.I don't agree but other may agrees may agree with Lamott that there first draft is a product but when I do my first draft it is usally a proccess. Then my second draft is usually is the product because I have gotten my process all done and now what I am going to say and stuff.
       

(Blog #2) The Price of Reading

There are many great points in the Article. I know that when I'm reading a book that I have to be interseted in the book or I will not read the book and I know that there are other people who are the same way. I know that if I have read a book over and over I can start to see the misspelled words and then I have to read the misspelled word until I can figure out what the author meet to spell. In some of the books that I have read I don't agree with the other killing good people off in there book. It makes me so irrated and i would like to ask the author why they kill that character off. I think that it is a good idea to share our thought about what we read it can help us understand what the author is saying and what we want to get out of the book.

(Blog #1) A memorable experience that I have had in an educational setting.

A memorable experience that I have had in an educational setting is when I was in 10th grade. I had a English teacher that loved to read books. When I came to her class she had a huge book self of books that we could read. I didn't know that she would make us read and write down what book we read and a description of it. I told her that i hate to read and have always and that every English teacher i have had could never get me to read the only books I would read are picture books and i would read them over and over. But that all changed when she told me she thought that she had a book that i might like. So I said I would try and read it. Once I started reading it I could not put the book down it. I had never had a teacher give me a book before that had caught my attention and this book was so addicting to read. I found out after reading the whole book that it was a series. I have now finished the whole series and can say that I absolutely love to read. Thanks my high school English teacher who took her time to find something for me to read that she thought that I would enjoy.
