Animal Likeness

In Animal Farm, the animal that I think I am most like is Boxer, the horse. I think this because I am a very hard worker. Another reason is because if I were to do something bad to someone, I would feel really bad just like Boxer did when he kicked a human in the head while wearing iron shoes. I am also very different from him because I am more independent than Boxer and I am usually not as oblivious as him (but I can be).

Control Or No Control

Some areas that I do not have any control over in life is when I am asking if my parents could get me something. Usually, when I ask my parents if I can get something, I usually cannot get it unless I pay for it. Some benefits of having no control is that you do not have as much responsibility.
Some drawbacks of not having control is that you can't always do what you want to do and when you are doing something, you sometimes have to stop it and do what your parents want you to do. In my house, my parents are in control. If, I was in full control in my house, I would do whatever I wanted to do and I would do it whenever I wanted to. I would also

Part One:

1. Learning to Swim
2. Numbers
3. Ox Cart Man
4. Ozymandias
5. Part for the Whole



Part Two:

Of the five poems listed above, I liked Numbers because I like math. I did not like Ozymandias and Ox Cart Man because they were boring to read. I would choose the poem Numbers. I personally connected with that poem because math is my favorite subject.



Part Three:

I think the two criteria that will be the easiest for me will be physical presence and voice and articulation. I think the two criteria that will be more difficult for me will be dramatic appropriateness and level of difficulty.


Part Four:

I watched Stanley Andrew Jackson recite Writ on the Steps of Puerto Rican Harlem by Gregory Corso and William Farley recite Danse Russe by William Carlos Williams. These are successful performances because they both had good eye contact and body language.


Part Five:

In the competiton, I do not think that I will do very well because I am not very good at reciting things.

Atticus and The Trial

I felt like it was the right thing to do when the people in the balcony stood for Attcus because he was the only white person that would defend a black person. Everyone else hated black people and he treated them as his equal. The people in the balcony stand up because they were greatful for Atticus because no one would do what Atticus would do, and that is defend a black person. Losing a battle when you know your right is better than winning a battle that you know you lost because if you lose but you know your right, other people are going to respect you for being honest. It is bad when you know your wrong and you won because other people might look down on you for cheating or because you will do anything to win even if you hurt someone in the process. I once lost a battle like this when I was younger and playing monopoly with my sister, I won, but I cheated. When she wasn't looking I would take some money from the bank. After about the second time she found out and told my parents. She wasn't to mad but my parents wouldn't let me play for a while.

Jem's Sensitivity

Jem was sensitive at the end of chapter seven because Boo Radley filled in the hole in the tree with cement. Jem seemed sensitive about playing the Boo Radley game after being eager because he remembers that he filled in the hole in the tree and he was mad. Scout is very interested to learn more about Boo Radley and she tries to find out more by playing the game. Dill is probably the most interested about him because he made the game up.

Fear and Unkown

When I was younger, my friend and I would always play in some woods that were close to my house. The woods were next to many houses but we never saw anyone there. One day my friend and I went to the woods and we saw a treehouse but we had never saw the treehouse or anyone building the treehouse before.

We were both very curious to see if anyone was inside it, so we went inside it just to find out that there was no one and nothing in it. We ended up playing in it for the rest of that day. From then on, we would always go to that treehouse and see if anyone was inside it and it was always the same answer, no.

First Day at School

Some simularities between my first day of high school and Scout's first day of elementary school are that we were both very nervous. Another simularity was that we were both attending a new school but we both had people that we new that went to the school. Another simularity was that we both understood everything the teachers were teaching.
Some differences between our first days of high school and elementary school are that my first day was very good and hers was very bad. Another difference was that she got in trouble for knowing how to read and write and I didn't. Another difference was that all my teachers had been teaching at the school for at least a couple years and it was her teachers first year at that school.
