assignment 12

1. i didn’t really like writing plays. not my thing, an issue i had for sure was putting everything in the past tense instead of the present. i’ve noticed and heard that i’m very good at writing which is cool since i like it. yea i might wanna try my hand at other types of writing like the screenplays or scripts. limitations that i thought sucked was trying to tell the audience or describe the scene as it were on a stage, when before i could of wrote anything that i wanted and wouldn’t have to worry about oh how would i be able to show this on stage.

2. ideas that i want to talk about in my personal essay? i don’t know life it self. my own little journey that i’ve had all summarized. or maybe moving since i’ve moved around when i was younger and it sucked moving from place to place. leaving friends and trying to make more in a different area that i’m not familiar with. otherwise i’m not sure what i want to write about. could be who i am, how i’ve changed, school..or not school. i really don’t know what i could relate in a personal essay or how to even write it in the first place.

3. well my little sister is ten so i guess i give her advice all the time. like homework even know i can’t remember half the stuff she wants me to help her on because she doesn’t know how to explain things well enough for me to understand. and then later on in school what she might experience and what she has to stay away from. like don’t suck up to people to be friends all the time and stop talking so much you’ll get in trouble and plus it’s annoying. also keep up with your work cause then you’ll just fall behind. otherwise i guess i’m just waiting for her questions for me to answer them.

assignment 11

1. i think theme is important to a story even though sometimes it might take a while to even figure out what the theme is. i think writing needs to have theme or a sense of thought when you go into it and begin writing. cause otherwise it might look like senseless writing that has no point and made absolutely no sense. even when you think about things it's certain things that come across your mind, but also your mind could go completely blank. on the other hand you could write a bunch of jibberish without a point or theme what so ever. you just write what you wanna write and it could make people think of things that come to them. like art they see what they can see and what comes across their mind.

2. what makes great works last forever? i really don’t know. they must probably have morals that people can still take and use to learn from after 200 years. something that was written and understood back then but still relatable now, and able to have discussions comparing past and presents. could i see myself write something that will last forever? i highly doubt i could, something like that takes a lot of luck and skill in my opinion.

3. something to impact the world, i don’t know what would it be. because i don’t even know if the world would even get an impact from it now or later on. maybe to have thoughts that get people to think about everything going on in their lives. something written that’s able to get them to change or re-evaluate things. i’m not really an impact kind of writer maybe more of a thinking kind with some things i’ve written, but not an impact. though something important to me would probably be a thing that could change the world like hunger or in the movie V for Vendetta an impact to politics. how to make that impact? convince the people of what’s going on open their eyes on the issues that i’m trying to address.

assignment 10

1. something in this world that concerns me is starving people. huge issue but an important one too. i care about this issue probably because my mom cares about it alot. like in the philippines, if she could she would help out there and make sure that families who don't have alot and who are starving have at least a bag of rice for themselves and their families for like christmas and thanksgiving. so i guess it rubbed off on me. i can't say that i wanna change the world but i'm saying that i care about this issue.

2. a dyamic person i know is my bestie claire. she's pretty hilarious if you don't know her. usually after class when we're walking in the halls we'd come up with weird things at times yet funny. like claire making up raps or when we made up that snow dance. [p.s claire told me to write about her that's another reason why she's awesome]

3. a movie that has inspired me was the movie "pay it forward". besides the fact that i loved that movie it was very moving and kinda gave alot of believe and shows that even the slightest thing can help a person even if it takes little steps to achieve that goal. like when the son was tryin to help his mom stop drinking. it didn't take one day it was a progressive thing.
