Genres

Over the last couple of weeks I have learn a lot about all sorts of different genres.  My favorite one is scrap booking, I really enjoy taking memories and making it into something that may last forever. I also really enjoyed graffiti, post cards, and many many more. I found it interesting how different people from class did their genres in their own way, it was kind of like their signature. My genre was graffiti and I really enjoyed doing my project, I learned a lot about the genre and had fun while doing it. I wish all English projects were like this. I am really enjoying my last English project as well.  I like doing the different genres and having my own theme for it as well.

Art

As I worked on assignment number three, it made me realize how much I love art.  I got the chance to paint a graffiti picture and it came from my heart.  I never knew that I enjoyed art, I love when you figure out something new that you love to do. I feel like school pushes me to do things that I do not want to do, but in the end I end up either learning something new about myself or finding something that I love to do. I am so thankful that I got the chance to do that project.  It made me grow as a person and will continue to make me grow through my art.

Graffiti

In class I had to do an assignment on Graffiti. Graffiti is truely a piece of art. I studied Graffiti and learned that the art comes from the heart and soul. I got the chance to do my own piece of work and it ment a lot to me, it has to do with the things that matter to me in life. Graffiti is an amazing thing to know how to do. What I like the most is that the art has different meaning to different people. The artist has a meaning of their own and all of the observers get their own meaning from the art.

My Weekend

Over the weekend I got to go home and see my family.  It has been about a month since I got to go home.  It was really nice to see everyone and spend some time with them.  My neices are getting so big this was the first year I didn't spend Halloween with my family.  It was really weird being away from home during on of the holidays.  Christmas is coming soon and I am very excited to be able to go home for more than two days.  My dog Blue was so happy to see me this time, it makes me sad having to be away from him for such a long period of time at once.  But college is worth it and it will fly by and soon I will miss being here as well.

Rocky Horror Show

Tomorrow I get to go to the Rocky Horror Show Play with my best friend Alisa. I am so excited to go to the play because I heard it was amazing. Alisa and I are going to dress up as one of the characters for extra credit. I am glad that I decided to go with Alisa we have so much fun together and get so silly. It is nice to have a friend like that so you can just let loose and that person will just be silly with you instead of thinking your crazy. Alisa and I also decided that we were going to dress up as one of the characters from the Rocky Horror Show for Halloween. I can't it is going to be a blast.

The Weekend

Next weekend I get to go home and see everybody. I am so excited I feel like I never get to see my family anymore. Being away at college has changed me as a person. It has changed me in many good ways. It brought myself out of my shell. I used to always be afraid of what people thought of me; and college has changed my mind I just dont care at all died I was not a bubbly person anymore and I finally got that back and I never want to lose it again. I cant wait to see what the next three and a half years will bring me.

Right behind You

One of my favorite books is Right behind You by Gail Giles. It is a wonderful story about a young boy named Kip that douses another boy with gas and lights him on fire out of jealousy. Kip was sent to a mental hospital for killing the little boy. After Kip was reabilitated he was released and given a new home and identity. The theme of this story is forgiveness and redemption. On Wade's journey to forgiveness and redemption he realizes that he must forgive himself first in order to find himself and gain redemption. Redemption does not come easily.
