Prospering Man

In the dawn, on the field, where the willows flow with the wind
A man lay, tall and thin
On his face a long, broad grin
For he had finally taken time from his busy life
To appreciate all that was good and right

To stand would be a waste of good energy
If he moved he would venture out of serenity
To leave this placid, peaceful place
Could surely be classified as a disgrace
For he was the last of the human race



I used Assonance, End rhyme, and Alliteration.

This year has consisted of many impediments, some in the form of sports and others in the form of distraction and procrastination. Throughout my classes so far this year I have been struggling with english the most. For some reason I have trouble with grasping the material and problems remembering it when I do finally grasp it. Something about english class just doesn't entice me like the others.

I have learned to love math over the years and caught on quite fast, but I haven't been able to do the same with english. I hope that I am able to learn to love english in the future. In the future I will try to take as many precautions as I can to make the best grades and put forth my best effort.

Research

My research has been moving at quite a slow pace. One thing I have learned so far throughout this process are that writing a research paper is much more than just sitting down and typing, you have to write an outline and refer back to your sources. Another thing that I have learned in this writing process is that at first I thought that this process would be overwhelming but in truth it wasn't that bad. 

I think that the project and paper being a part of both World History and English was a good idea because we can get them out of the way now and not have to do two separate projects for these two separate classes. One thing I would like to learn more about is a good way to manage the amount of information that I put on my notecards. I think that the amount of information that I ended up putting on the notecards was a little insufficient. 

ADTPTI Update 2/6

ATDPTI is an amazing story thus far. It illustrates the troubles and hardships of a disabled boy. The author has found a way to make it a funny story as well as a sad one. With this in mind I enjoy every moment of reading this book and it makes me want to never put it down.

I think that Mr. P had a great point about how the community in the rez is just hiding away without going after their dreams. If I were in that situation I would want to get out of there as fast as I could. If I had the amount of intelligence that Arnold possessed then I would definitely go after my dreams.

I live about a two minute drive away from school, yet I never seem to be able to get to school early. I know that it isn't necessary to arrive to school early, but I would like to have time to get to my first class on time. I don't want to arrive right on time because that doesn't give me any time to get situated and figure out my schedule. I know that if I just looked through my schedule the night before that it would be much easier but I never seem to remember. I think that I think that I have all the time in the world to lose and I don't hurry enough. 

In the future I plan on trying to get things done the night before so I can move quickly and get to school with time to spare. When I am late there is a little bit of traffic on the boulevard that takes up more time, but if I'm early the drive is easy and the roads are clear. I'm sure that it's much more difficult for people who live about thirty minutes away because with traffic it would take a while to get to school.
