post 13 theme of my life so far

I would say the theme of my life so far is to get a higher education and while doing so make good connections. When its time for me to get a job or internship I will already be plugged in for the job. having people who can vouch for you and know you well will open up doors you never thought was possible. I also want to get a higher education so I will be able to pay my mom back for everything she has put into me. I would like for her to be able to not have to work anymore. It's just the way I want to tell her thank you.

post 12 theme of my favorite movie

I have a couple of favorite movies. Today I'm just going to tell you about one. In stomp the yard The themes were honor, learning from your mistakes, teamwork, letting go of who you were so that you can see who you are and influence whom you will become. Lastly It was about second chances really and redemption. These lessons helped me to become the man i am today. It taught me to never give up no matter how hard things get. I will have another chance. Don't let anything get in my path of success. 

Post 11 2 colleagues symbols they keep on or with them

 In SadieSae Siobhan said "my rings and my Jesus bracelet. The rings symbolizes that my mom gave me a heart ring and it means the most to me. I wear it on my right had middle finger. The second ring that I wear is on my left hand on my marriage finger.  It symbolizes the graduation ring that was giving to me from my God Dad. Also, the Jesus bracelet that I wear on wrist comes from my mother also." This says to me that she has good faith. She is close with her family. I can tell that by the way she talks about them.
In Akeryah's blog she said she keeps a army hat on her because her boyfriend gave it to her.She went off to college as her boyfriend went to the army basic training. she has plenty of bears and jackets so she can keep him close. She says he will now be in Korea for two years. I can tell she really loves and support her boyfriend. I can tell she will be loyal to him until he comes back.

post 10 something I often wear or carry and what it symbolizes.

I wear Sweaters because my grandmother Always brought me one every time she saw me. I carry a Bible to Show my faith in my religion. I always have my wallet which has pictures of family and friends to keep them close to me. Having their picture allows me to think of all the memories that was shared with them. Sometimes it may cause me to get sad or it may make me laugh out loud. My wallet is also special to me because my best friend sent it to me as a christmas gift. it meant he is always thinking about me. I didn't ask for it.

Post 9 response to 2 colleague's view of setting.

Shawnise said "Krebs town is very small and not a lot of things happen there. The rest of the story explains how Krebs just wants to relax and be to himself because he has had too much excitement during WWI." She didn't get the point that his time being over seas fighting is what caused him to come back the way he is. He is very paranoid and his family doesn't see why he is acting different. When you have seen enough of the blood, guts and dead people it all takes a toll on you after the fact. He realized after the lies he told people back home how much of a toll it took on him. He thinks no one really knows what they go through. Jaylen said in her blog "in "Geese"the symbolism in the setting in Japan was that Dina was out of touched with reality and she did not think about what you have to do or go through to get a pile of money. She did not have any type of plan before she left her hometown which left Dina in a world of trouble." She understood the meaning behind the story but didn't say much about the setting.

post 08 about the setting in Hemingway's story

Krebs left college to enlist and go to war for his country in 1917. He came back to the United States after after the group before him came back. He returned in 1919. He eventually returned to Oklahoma years after the war was over. No one knew why he decided to come back so late after the war. The social norm back then was he had to lie in order for his friends to believe him. Thats Basicly a double standard. It eventually caught up with him because he began to have flashbacks of what really happened. 

Post 07 Response to my colleagues' post

In Trayjon post he talked about how the author life affected the poem.The author was going through life being alone. He was alone because he lost his mother and a few others before this was published. I agree that if you lose someone near and dear to your heart that you feel like you all in the world by yourself. Sometimes I feel that way because I lost my grandmother five years ago.

In Monicia post her author is Gail Godwin from "A Sorrowful Woman". She at times didn't know what role to play as a woman. Ladies are still like that today. They are always indecisive. They always need another opinion before they make a decision. She is the opposite of her character in person. She has won award and things for her accomplishments.  She knows what she wants out of life and is going after the gold.

Post 6 how the author's life of your Doc1 story/poem affects the story or poem.

My author didn't use personal experiences to connect to the story. They used symbolism that could have multiple meaning. The way they decided to use it is how they probably felt. The symbolism helps interpret what the artist wanted us to get out of the poem.
