Extra Credit that iam excusing!!

Week 6, Week 8, Week 11, and Week 4

Extra Credit: Voting

I voted on October 29 2008 in Ansonia, CT. I went to the City Hall and asked for an absent-t ballet. At first, I was confused because the direction were really awkward and I was not able to ask for assistance. The ballet was yellow and I had to vote for the president, congress representative, and Senate. Voting was an incredible experience especially when you know you made a new change for the good!

Reflection on readings

We read so many amazing excerpts and I honestly enjoyed all of them, but I loved Bell Jar. I was captured by the careful detailing in the story and how the story forced the readers to apply themselves in order to piece the plot together. The excerpts we read exposed various writing styles, cultural impacts, and faith based stories. I think all the excerpts are essential to Analytical and Persuasive writing and should be kept.I love this class so much and I am definitely going to miss the knowledge circle!

EXTRA CREDIT-- NPR

I listened to Monique Ferrer who was the ex-wife of a 911 victim. she tells the reporter about how her and Michael Trinidad met and about their two children. On the September 11, Monique remembers receiving a call from Michael. He stated that he just wanted to call for the last time; he told her that he has always loved her and asked Monique's husband if he can be his children's father. Her husband assured Michael that he was going to make it back home. Monique remembers crying hysterically and forcing her self to stay clam for the sake of her daughter. The day Michael past away is still remembered and she says that she would never forget him because their children resemble him in every way. She also tells the reporter that she has lost her best friend and love him always.

Her story brought me to tears, but reminds me that you will never be forgotten; that a persons' memory lives on in his or her generation!

PROJECT 3 REFLECTION/ ACTION

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

I have founded a song that relates to the agony of the Nanjing Holocaust

I have found a fiction book that speaks about Japan's denial and the effect it has on the national boundaries.

I found a artwork, which I made that exposes the horrors of Japan's annihilation.

I also found a film that reenacts the atrocities of the Nanjing Holocaust.

WHY AND HOW?
I feel that I still need some improvement in my book-- I picked a passage,but now I have to explain how the quote correlates with my essay and show pathos,ethos, and logos.
My film needs improvement-- I also choose a frame that was taken from the orginal Nanjing documentary.--------All this is done now!
