Maritza's English Blog

 Today we watched 2 trailers, both of them being about Emily Dickinson. The first trailer was about Emily's love life, about her sister in law. The second trailer was more about Emily's writing and how her Father and other people said she can't be a writer and she's not good enough. Mostly because she was a woman. We wrote about if we would be interested in watching the films and I said yes. Both seems very interesting and I would like more about Emily Dickinson's life.

 Today we read another 2 poems from Emily Dickinson. We also wrote about if we ever failed something before and it gave us motivation to work harder to succeed.

 Today we read two poems made by Emily Dickinson. She was a women who always stayed home and always wore white. She never finish college and she wrote but it wasn't her job. The first poem we read was 280. It talked about mental illness and how someone is losing there mind. The second poem we read 260, was about being different.

The video we watched makes me think that the probability of life outside of Earth is likey. We can't be the only life in peace. My reaction of seeing the image of Earth from Mars is that it's crazy how small we are from Mars, a planet next to Mars. The audio of the black holes impressed me, I find it cool how it has a sound and it's sounds scary. This whole thing put my life in a perspective, a perspective that there's a lot more out there then Earth itself and I never think about how small we are space.

 We continued our origin myth story today in class. My favorite part about this is the creating the characters. I find it very fun and it helps me get more of an idea of who I'm writing about. My less favorite part is the rising action. I'm not good when it comes with coming up with ideas for a story since I don't write.

In today's class, we started an our origin myth story. We have to write a page and a half or 2 in pages of our story. We started on the characters, setting, plot, rising action, climax, and ending.

 For today's lesson, we built a character and created a 12 sentence story around that character.
