Projects and fire-works self evaluation

Response: For my project I’m not the proudest person, I was a little disappointed that I wasn’t to my goal of proficiency, but if I look at how I used to do things, then I do feel a little better. I have learned how to do showing not telling, because even though we already learned about it, I didn’t quite understand it. But this has also taught me how to make a blog/padlet. I always thought it was pointless to have something like a blog, but now I understand, because I still go onto it sometimes to look back at the few words that I made a meaning for, and use it in some situations. I really hope that through these years, I’ll because a much better writer, and proceed with the story I’ve already started, and maybe change a few things, just to see how much progress I have made.

I chose to do Autism Awareness Month. I have learned that about a quarter of a century ago, they went nation wide with getting help with Autism Awarness. Some people are not accepted if they have autism, just because they are different. And how thousands of people getting diagnosed with it, it is tough to stop the people that down autistic people. When someone has autism, they don’t exactly understand everything the way someone that doesn’t have autism, and that makes it a lot easier for them to be a target with bullying. Sometimes they don’t even know if they are being bullied or not, they could see it as a few friends playing around with them, but this could cause a lot worse problem if the witnesses don’t say anything, because as the victim goes on with life, it may be hard for them to understand the difference with “Playing around”, and “Bullying”.  Even worse, it could cause damages to their body, and be severely hurt. My brother has autism, and I never knew how hard their lives are, and to know that it is a huge possibility that he, and his fellow classmates, friends, and anyone around us could have gotten picked on just for having a disability that they have no control over. Most of the time,it is like crying wolf for autistic people,because sometimes they make a joke, but say it in a serious voice, but then it happens, and nobody will believe them. So there would be no evidence to what really happened, unless there were other victims, or witnesses.

I see the best of people, and I guess you can call that a hobby, because I always try to jump to conclusions about everything. Including if you are nicer than the White House on Christmas, or if you're even more mean than a robber stealing live pets for dinner.

When I stroll along, just minding my own business, then it hits me, I'm staring at someone, trying to figure out how they act around different people, etc. I always think, that if I get to know this person more, without reacting with them, then I can figure out all of those things. Because some people can be nicer than the white house on Christmas night, or they could be as means as "forgetting" your wallet on a date

Today I worked really hard with page 10, and I think I'll be done with it next class if we get enought time.

"Knowing that sun goes down around 7, they stayed longer than they needed, and started walking to a park. They were dangerously jaywalking to get to the park, not knowing that the light ahead of them turned green, and cars started viciously pounding on their gas pedals to speed up, and Amanda walking backwards talking to them at last second noticing a car zooming bye."

From my story, I was thinking of doing a cliff hanger, but I realized that Trixy and Amanda need to tell Kassidy about the move. I've decided to make it where they tell her about it when they get to the ER, when Amanda's mom gets there.

Conflict- A conflict is basically like an argument. In a story, if people, or any of the characters period, are disagreeing on something, then that means that they are having a conflict. For example, if Amanda (from my story) and her mother were fighting down the road, pretty much about anything, but I am going to say about her going to Cost Rica to do a casting (since she will be in drama class, she gets assigned a role), and her mother doesn’t approve, that would be an argument, which would connect to conflict.

Summary- A summary is when a story is shortened down to the main facts, just like the saying, “long story short”, it is pretty much the same exact thing, but for this situation, it would be for books, the stories you, or someone else wrote, etc. For example, my story is about a girl that doesn’t have a father there with her, because he ran away when she was very little, and the rest of the very little family she has, misses him, but never shows it. Her mother can be selfish, but everyone in this story has their times, but almost all the time, she’s at her work night to day, just so she get have enough money for all of her family. Amanda is being bullied at school, but she has two best friends that are with her through thick and thin. But her girlfriend, who is one of the two, moved. She decides to join drama class so she can get things off of her mind. She ends up going to Costa Rica doing a shoot, and then she meets her father.

Bibliography- The bibliography is sometimes a link to what you used to get information for your piece. But other times, you could be making a movie, and you can add credits to all the people that helped with it. For example, if I was getting information from an author's, blog sight, I would put down, “Credits to http://laurenoliverbooks.com/biography.php”

"When I go to school, there is someone waiting at the door for me, to either walk with me to the lockers and talk, pick on me for no reason, or with the person picking on me to be there for me, and to shoo off the bully. I guess I have good friends, but some of them just come back to me when we need a shoulder to cry on, but other than that, we almost never even talk. But I got used to it, it’s all part of my routine, nothing really matters, I’ve tried to talk to people about it, but they never listen."

This part of my story really hits my at home, and to know that I know all the information that is supposed to be known, it really shows there are some things that I personally know that I can put into my story. At school, my story, later on, will have a big role for this. It's not just for Amanda's blood family, it's also for her "school family". Most teachers say that your school is your family. So that is what gave me this idea for the title too.

Synonym- A synonym is the same, or at least close to the same to something. Antonyms are the exact opposite to each other, so that would mean that antonyms are opposite to the thing that you are putting it up against. For example, if you are using something alive, like a plant, and someone would ask for the synonym for the plant, you would get the same, or close to the same thing. But if someone asked for the antonym to the live plant, you would get a fake plant, or something similar to a fake or dead plant.

Dialogue- A dialogue is for when two or more people are having a conversation in a story or some sort like that, and they use quotations marks for the beginning and the end of each person talking. Then, at the end of every quotation set, they would add a dialogue tag. For example, if my friends and I were having a conversation, and somebody decided to put it down into a story, every time we would stop talking, or someone else starts talking, then there would be another set of quotations, and even another tag.

Characters- Almost all books have characters. If there’s dialogue, then there will be characters, because whoever is talking is a character. For example, if I made a book with animals, and people in it, they would all have their own part, even if they don’t talk.

Theme- The theme of a book can be almost anything. But it basically means the meaning behind the story. No, it’s not like zebra print theme, but it could be animal theme, where it is all animals on the story. For example, the “Ice Age”’s theme is animals, and later on in the years, it’s never going to change over to humans or anything, because it’s so popular right not, to where it shouldn’t ever change.

https://thisismybrave.org/blog/writing-poetry-through-pain

After reading this, I’ve finally noticed the pain that people go through everyday for their loved ones. From the poem “You Can’t Know”, only the people that live the whole pain for not only themselves, but for others are the only ones that could actually understand what they go through everyday. From the text,

“You’ve felt the chill

Of seeing

I Give Up

In his eyes

Yet again

You can’t know”

This is coming from true pain that many people go through. And

“You’ve sat with him

Hours, weeks, months

During confusion

You can’t know”

And my proof that this is not only something to write about, but somewith to live with your whole life. This blog has showed me that there are many different pain going around with terrible vibes coming from something that has been hidden for the longest time so others don’t know what they go through.

But anyway, what I have learned from blogging style, is that you can’t really change the subject that easily, because blogs usually have a unique style, and most people stick to it the whole time they blog. For example, if you would make blogs about animals, you wouldn’t really jump to poems, unless it’s about that topic.

http://laurenoliverbooks.com/biography.php is Lauren Oliver’s web page. This inspired me to show what I’ve struggled with, but also to show the fun of everything. (She didn’t show the struggles that she went through, but when she said she had to move, I knew that it had some hard parts of leaving everyone) I really like how Lauren also added how she first started with all of this. What she liked about it, and what brought her up to doing all of what she loves to this day. I will hopefully doing that too as I grow up, because I’ve been loving to write even more by the day.
