Inspiration!

My inspiration would have to be either Lady Gaga, LIGHTS and Selena Gomez. Lady Gaga is one of my inspirations because I think she works really hard to be a singer. She graduated college at New York University(NYU). I am totally inspired how the people I look up to has a education. My other inspiration would also be Selena Gomez because she also works very hard to be a singer. I usually like to look up to the singers that sing songs that I can relate to. That's where LIGHTS comes in. She has songs where I feel like I wrote it because I know exact;y how he feels when she sings it.

"There's A Bat In Bunk Five" Essay.

What’s it like to go camping with just knowing one or two people or not knowing anyone at all? In the book “There’s A Bat in Bunk Five,” by Paula Danzigar. A girl named Marcy is going to a creative art’s camp. Marcy was invited from her former teacher and she will be a CIT. The book mostly followed Comedy of Mode of Literature.  It follows the characteristics, purpose and the plot line of Comedy.

The book follows Comedy in the plotline of Mode of Literature. The first point on the plot line is “Normal Everyday Life.” In the beginning, Marcy has a normal life. Goes to school, has homework, hangs out with her friends.“Main Character: cause a minor conflict/problem.” Is the next point on the plotline. What happens to lead into the problem is that Marcy’s former teacher invited Marcy to be a CIT at a camp based on all Art. Marcy is so excited. Later on she meets all the kids until, one of the kids, named Ginger is a spoiled little brat returns to camp. Everyone says she’s mean and rude. Marcy doesn’t pay attention to her because of how mean Ginger is. Well the problem is when Ginger runs away. After the problem has been stated the next point is “Conflict is realized.”  The conflict that is realized is when Marcy figures out were Ginger could be hiding. Marcy was freighted. Always thinking she could of been nicer to Ginger. Marcy saw all the money Ginger brought was gone. She could be anywhere by then. So the “Resolution,” is how Marcy found Ginger. Ginger was in a small town called Woodstock waiting for a bus. The town was right outside of the camp. Later, Ginger soon realized how she was being a brat to everyone and that everything isn’t about her. Ginger and Marcy walked back to the camp and all the way back to there cabin. Later on Ginger said she was sorry to all the campers and councilors.  After all that is cleared up, Marcy goes home and tells her parents about camp. Camp lasted the whole entire summer. Back to “Normal Everyday Life,” School is about to start soon.

Even though the story follows the plotline of Comedy, it even follows the characteristics and the purpose. The purpose in the book was to make us know how to solve our own problems. For an example, Marcy is fourteen, same age as me. For the whole summer she goes to camp without her family. The characteristics are that threw out the story it was realistic. It almost felt as if I was at camp as Marcy or I was even a camper. Marcy was a CIT, I can relate to her because this summer, I will be going to camp and I will be a CIT. The other characteristic is that Marcy in the story is in control. Marcy has another councilor live with her named Corrine. Corrine in the middle of the book gets poison ivy and she is sent home. So it was up to Marcy to take care of all the campers living in her cabin.

The book I read was “There’s A Bat in Bunk Five.” I thought it was based off Comedy out of the Mode of Literature because it followed the plot line, characteristics, and the purpose. The purpose was mainly about how Marcy had to take control of the camp and take care of herself and the people around her. She needed to learn to be a adult, is not just being off on your own but it’s also about being mature and be responsible.

Animals are all around the world. We have birds, snakes, lions, elephants etc. When we go to a zoo, we see all the animals. In a zoo you can find penguins. Penguins usually need a cold habitat and the zoo keepers usually have them eat fish. The reason to have them live in a environment there so use to is so there not scared. You want the animals to feel at home. have them feel comfortable. For an example if you had a lion the probably live in a habitat where they can run. Have little ponds and grass, probably even trees. That's what the have in a zoo.

My favorite childhood memory, was going to one of my brother, Nick's wedding. He lives in Denver, Colorado. He lived with me for a little while that I can remember. I met his wife, Chelsea one year for Christmas. When I got to know her, she felt like a older sister. She took care of me as if I could also been her daughter. Right away we started to treat her as family. Nick and Chelsea were together for about 4 years, till we got a call and it was official they were getting married!


My older brother Nick hasn’t lived with me for awhile. So I miss him. For about 4 years I knew his wife, Chelsea. When I heard they were getting married I got so excited. My other brother Ryan is all ready married but it was before I was born, when he decided to get married. I didn’t really learn anything from this experience. I know when, Chelsea was walking down with her dad. I started to get a tear in my eye. I loved the wedding it was emotional and fun. This memory is probably so easy to remember because my brother got married. Threw out the years when my others brothers get married, I will remember that to. My oldest brother, Dan is moving to Wisconsin. His fiancée, Emily's has family that lives in Wisconsin. In a couple years they will get married and it will be another memory I treasure.


I will always remember the time when I was a junior’s bride’s maid at Nick's wedding. A couple months ago in October, he and his wife Chelsea had a baby girl named, Kennedy. I still haven't gotten to meet her because of school but when I do. I'm going to love her as much as when I met Chelsea.

Electronics.


What's the newest electronic you have? Is it a game system, iPod or TV? A lot of people in the world have something that is electronic ail. The funny thing is that everyday, someone is inventing a new iPod or phone. Video games are played off the game system connected to a TV . Sometimes when you want to play something or watch something you have to connect it to other electronics. Electronics keep this world together. I can't imagine anyone with something with electronics.

The Secret Garden Essay.

The Secret Garden Essay.

By Helen Van Buskirk

   

Do you know what it feels like to live in a house that you don’t like and out of the blue you find a part of the house that amuses you? In the book “The Secret Garden,’’   by Frances Hodgson Burnet, a girl named Mary is a spoiled little girl. Mary’s parents, in the beginning send her away because she’s too hard to handle. So she is sent to a house where she has to live until, she is old enough to live on her own. The book I read mostly follows Tragedy of mode of literature because it follows the plot line and some of the characteristics.    

               

It follows the plot line of Tragedy. In the beginning, the first point is “World is in conflict for the main character.” Mary has an okay life in India. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. So her parents send her off to live with a different family. Mary is not so happy about the idea of the new house she’s going to live in so she's pretty upset in the beginning of the book. The next point on the plot line is “Rise to power.” In the middle of the night while Mary is trying to fall asleep she starts to hear crying. Every night, she starts to get more concern and scared. She asks everyone that lives in the house with her where it’s coming from but, no one seems to listen to her. Until one night she follows the noise and finds a boy in a bed crying. Later, on the plot line is the “Tragic flaw/ fall.”  It probably be that Mary gets caught talking to the boy. She wasn’t supposed to know that he was living there to because he was sick. There is really no death in the story. Really "The death" is that she finds out the boys mother died so that's why there's a secret garden. When his mom was alive she take him to the garden. Ever since she's been gone he's been sick. So Mary decides to take him in the garden    every once in a while. That's how the book follows the plot line of Tragedy.   

Besides the part of following the plot line, “The Secret Garden" also follows the characteristics and the purpose. Characteristic is that the main character is in control. In the beginning Mary is a annoying or stubborn girl. For an example she was so use to getting whatever she wanted. But, in the house she now lives in... NO ONE does anything for her. Threw out the story you start to see her not being so stubborn. Mary starts to think about other people and realizes the world doesn’t revolve just on her. In the purpose, you have to think about what the moral lesson is. Moral lesson is basically about Mother Nature. The boy that is sick had a mother, and his dad and him made the secret garden for the mother for one her birthdays. Everyday they go in the garden till the boys mother died. His mother loved flowers and with the love that was shown by the flowers and animals in the garden, was connected to the love his mother had shown for him and for his father by the garden. Flowers, the birds that nested there, the trees and plants were all symbolic of motherly love. Which bring us back to Mother Nature.

   

As you can see "The Secret Garden" best represents Tragedy of mode of literature. It follows the characteristics for when Mary is learning to care about others and not just herself. The moral lesson is about Mother Nature. It also followed the plot line.

Essay.

             What’s it like to have a wonderful life with your friends and family and out of the blue you have to move? I read a short story, “A Move That Changes Life,” written by May Alcott. The way I read the short story, I thought it followed Romance Mode of Literature. The story follows the characteristics and the plot line of Romance.
   
             In the beginning of the story is a minor conflict. Sara, that’s the main character has all great friends and lives a perfect life. She gets anything she wants. The miner conflict is her dad gets a new job. Sara is devastated but, Sara controls her feelings and decides this could be a fun move. Also the good part about the move is that she lives in New Jersey and she is moving to New York. Sara’s parents are happy that she’s not to upset about the move. After the miner conflict, there is a life symbolism. The life symbolism is that Sara later meets new friends and gets a new house. I can relate to the story because I move. I use to live in six states. Wisconsin id the best place, I've moved to so far.

             As the plot line fits in with the book the characteristics do to. The characteristics is that Sara threw out the story is in control. For an example, Sara helps her mom pack boxes, she helps un-pack. Her mom is so busy working that she decides to start cleaning the house. When there is a “Open House” to sell the house that is in New Jersey. In characteristics, the main character does no wrong. Threw out the short story Sara does nothing wrong. She helps her parents move and so does her friends. Her friend will miss her but, since New York and New Jersey is so close they can visit each other.

That is why when, I read " Move That Changes Life." is Romance it's based off the plot line and the characteristics. When, I was reading the short story. I thought it would follow Irony's plot line or Comedy's plot line. In the end, it mostly followed Romance.
