The future of this blog I enjoy having this blog for Journalism, but I also don't know if I'm going to continue this blog because of lack of time to update. I hope that I can continue this blog on my own personal time since this semester is coming to a close on Friday. I have learned so much from this blog and have loved spending time creating it. It's just a matter of having time to update that I'm on the fence about . Between homework, lacrosse, and school it's just hard to find the time. Hopefully, I can find the time but I guess this is goodbye for now.

“Who is to compare us but me”
He is wanted to play, so I wish to play as well, He is considered one of the best, but then what am I? He is given more recognition, but I work harder, He has had more victory, but I care more, He has the medal to symbolize his hard work, but all I have are my dreams, He is considered the big thing, so I blend into the bustle of the crowd, I am older, but he has accomplished more, I see my future, but he is undecided and lost, I am the introvert, so he is the extrovert, Jealousy has influenced me, so am I truly myself? We are related, but who is to compare us except me? They are his friends, but who am I to judge? They are my dreams, so only I can make them come true, I cannot be the perfect daughter, sister, or teammate. I cannot compare myself to him, As he cannot compare himself to me. I am like an owl, wise but hidden in the ebony night. He is like a butterfly, vibrant and social. But who would compare the two, but me? I let my jealousy boil up inside of me, And I am forced to live with it, But why am I dwelling in this state of mind? I should be happy with who I am. So why am I upset that I'm not like him? The only person I should want to be is myself, I cannot be overwhelmed by the stenches of failure and jealousy, For I must forge my own path in life, Because the world is my stage, And I am the lead actress, So I must turn over a new leaf, And once I have forgotten, I can finally make something of myself, And also enjoy what I am doing, Instead of doing it only to please the masses To only please the masses But also to please me For who is to compare us but me? Some of the stylistic choices I chose to mimic from Baca were mainly structural elements like the sentence structure, which was almost all incomplete thoughts. In my authors mimic, I also used a lot of repetition to emphasis certain points like, “ please the masses...please the masses”( 34-35). Another was when I repeated the starting word of a sentence using , “ He is”. Figurative language was used in my authors mimic in the form of similes and metaphors. In my poem I used the simile, “ I am like a owl”(17), to show my introvertedness compared to my brother, the extrovert. I also used the metaphor, “ the world is my stage”( 28), to show that I can do whatever I want with my life. The theme of my poem is that jealousy can control you only if you let it be in control. This represents the fact that sometimes in my life I let my jealousy get in the way of allowing myself to become a better person in what I do. In conclusion, my poem reveals my emotions of jealousy towards my brother and also my self pity due to feeling less important, but then at the end I also become a little foolish due to me realizing how naive I've been. The Never Ending Cycle The wind whispers in my ear
the trees shed their golden and auburn leaves crisp cool air whirls around us and blows our hair around people head to the pumpkin patch to preserve autumn traditions families and friends are brought closer together in a time of Thanksgiving Yet the air grows cooler and snow begins to fall but the sense of family never ends as we enter the season of giving where to give is better than to receive and the Christmas spirit is in the air And now to enter the season of new growth where the flower bloom and the trees leaves are a vibrant green The season of new beginnings and new opportunities as the school year winds down and tranquillity sets in and now the heat and chaos is among us the adolescents are out of school and out and around in the social buzz the air is warm and the cool breeze is refreshing to the skin the grass begins to die and its the season of swimming pools and ice pops The cycle is never ending yet every season has its own guidelines they are never the same everywhere and they are always changing to show the beauty of Mother Nature Hey guys! I'm back from the dead ( well Hi Mrs. Krueger because I already know that your the only person that's going to read this but oh well). It's only been what a month since my last post on here? Sorry, but hey I am here now. Today my teacher gave us the prompt above and told us to post our response on the blog so here goes nothing.
I've learned a lot from Journalism and it's hard to pick just one thing but if i have to only pick one its definitely going to be photography. Before we talked about photography in this class all of my pictures were from one angle: straight on. But, now that we have talked about photography, I have learned some super cool new things that I can do with photography. Like the rule of thirds where you keep the subject out of the middle. Or leading lines where you pick a cool background to take your photo. So therefore the benefits of this are that I have now learned how to make my photos more interesting which makes my Instagram feed look BOMB! Oh and now the crazy has come out to play so I am going to end this post before I say something I regret putting out here. So buh bye guys and hope to see you back here whenever I decide to post next. Bye, Fredi Hi, how are you? My name is Fredi and I am taking Spanish 1 this year. I'm in freshman journalism this year and the first week of school feels so long. Your getting adjusted to the new environment and trying to find your classes. Your worried about being late, getting lost, and just plain the course load. At my school we have an accelerated block schedule so we only have 4 classes a semester. But overall my first week has been good, I haven't got lost yet, and haven't been late to class. That's a victory in itself. My school is so massive that the freshman have their own building. Pretty shocking right? That's what I thought when i first got here, I was like " WOAH this place is big." But overall its really not that bad, I wouldn't freak out to much if i were you. Some things to remember are to just stay calm and don't freak out. It's all going to be okay, and you'll find your niche.
Adios, Fredi |
