Why koda is a complex character

 Koda the complex character of a dog  Dogs are the most prominent companions of humankind. They can be fluffy, short-furred, long-furred, curly-furred, big, small, pricked up ears hanging ears, long legs, short legs, long fluffy tails, skinny tails, different color dogs. A particular dog that I am talking about is Koda. She is a cream-white, short-furred dog with a grey-black nose and paws. She is only a couple of months old. For a surface-level cute puppy, what many people do not realize is that dogs will improve lives. Yes, you heard me right: the puppy will enhance someone's life by helping them with coordination if they are visually impaired. On a surface level, a fun puppy that sleeps goofy on her back and paws up will occasionally lightly bite you because of her teething. Sometimes, She will approach you and put her head in a way so you can pet her. The same puppy will lead the person in need, behind the cuteness, the loyal companion that will help their owner in need. B...

Read or dont read? Thats the big question.

 Face it we all didn't meet the reading goal.  Or maybe it's just me.  Throughout the week we have talked about meeting our goal to read at least 2 hours a week. But let's just face it, most of us are either near the end or not only halfway done with the book.  Personally, I am going to rat myself out on this one but I am halfway finished with my book, don't get me wrong I absolutely love the book and I love the author who wrote the book, but I just haven't had time to sit down and enjoy the book as much as I want to. I don't like rushing through the book so when I found out about the deadline I was kinda iffy about being able to finish the book. I could either finish the book by spending all night reading or b read another new book parallelly to what I am reading now, but that would require me to go to the library and check the book again. Overall reading a book 2 hours a day seemed like an easy task, but that was not the case. I found myself to be exhausted to...

Why do festival rides make me think of books.

 Why festival rides do make me think of books? This thought came to me when I was hanging upside down on the famous fireball ride at Troy Daze.  When I went to Troy Daze (on Saturday aka yesterday) I was very nervous and scared because I hadn't yet written my blog and had no idea what to write. So as I was standing in line for this ride called Fireball, it was not exactly a rollercoaster but it was close to it. The ride process is going in a big circle that speeds up and goes in a loop and backward and then forward and it keeps repeating in that same pattern. So why exactly did this ride make me think of books and English. Well, the process to be exact. You see when you read you go through five stages of grief and happiness just like with rides.  Stage one: You choose a ride. Like you choose a book. You choose by how the ride looks, the appeals of it like the lights and what people are saying about it, what are the emotions of people who went. Just like with the book you ...

It has been a while

 Catch up day Wohoo SO... Yay, we are back to blogging, I missed this so much. Anyways, let's talk. "Know my name" is a book that I am currently reading. The reason I chose this book is because of my curiosity about the American court system and how society really is.  When I was reading this book I experienced sadness, anger, and concern for how society so hypocritically reacts and blames blindly without actually knowing the reason. In the book, the main character gets sexually assaulted by a college student. Chanel miller was unconscious when that happened, when the police report was posted on social media, many of us would believe that after this awful event people would support Chanel. But, not everything is rainbows and sunshine, in fact, it was quite the opposite, the people were defending the assaulter, yeah, you heard me right they WERE TAKING HIS SIDE like I don't understand sometimes, all the evidence was pointing out that this dude who doesn't even dese...

Letter

  Dear Cynthia  Shit…It has been so long since we have seen each other.  Let's just say that the way we left things was harsh and not right. That's why I took a big breath and maybe a shot or two to write you this.  Ever since the company collapsed  I have been spending my last 8 years obsessing over any money like  five dollars to get my kick…funny right… Before you think that I am writing to you for the money. I want you to read this carefully. I want you to understand that I want to apologize, and I know,  I know,  you would probably think “Tracey? Apologize?” “No fucking way”  and yes I am also suprised since I dont know how to “let go” my grudges. After a long time of loneliness and drugs I have had so many thoughts.  I kept thinking to myself about my views that I had. It has stroked me that I have been wrong my entire life.  My actions : about our job and about the situation.  My reactions to everything collapsing coming...

Sweat

 The "human cost" of deindustrialization in sweat  From 2000 - 2008 something horrible happened in the United states' economy the "great recession" which is a play on the words for "great depression". "Sweat" the play is taking place during the  deindustrialization.  The story surrounds itself with a group of people that work in the same industry.  Each of them had experienced some kind of unfairness during their years in the company. Stan, for example, has worked on the floor with machines, one unfortunate time he injured his leg leaving him "cippled" and the company hasn't fixed the machine until some later years.  None of them have moved from the floor they worked on for more than 20 years.  It wasn't until Cynthia moved from the floor to management, at the same time Tracy found out that the company is planning to cut people off and hire new workers.  Sometime later Cynthia tells her friends that the magn]ment wants to sh...

Women were written by biases

Women were written by biases How does Fitzgerald show his biases in his book Throughout history, women have been viewed as objects. Women were obeying the "perfect" stereotypes of men.  For example, women weren't allowed to work the same job as men, they need "women" jobs that are usually low paying. Women weren't allowed to do "men" jobs due to thinking that women are weak and can't work. Also, women were much needed around the house, taking care of the kids, cooking, and staying quiet even if their husbands came home from late nights from "work" or drunk. Women needed to be pretty. If you are widowed people would not even look at you, if you are not in beauty standards people gonna look, if your husband is sleeping around you are the problem. Even when the new age became popular, women started to be more scandalous and try to break the stereotype.  Unfortunately, some of the books that were written to display new-age women have fail...
