iExamen 2-Robbie Beach

For this assignment, it was hard for me to get results. Not bragging or anything but I am always kind, useful, and true lol. Although my emotions might get the better of me at times, I am always still useful and true (it takes a lot to make me angry). So, most responses I got to my actions or languages are skewed in a way of people hearing from me not what I am saying.  

I am very bad at texting. Usually, I only text people if I need something or they text me first. So, after high school when we went our separate ways most people did not stay in contact with me. So, after reading this assignment I picked up my phone and texted many of my old friends from high school. All the responses were typical “How are you”, “How’s school going”, etc. I can’t go see anyone since all my friends go to college out of state. 

The texting didn’t go as I hoped so I went to get lunch at a fast-food place. I was in the drive-thru at McDonald's when I decided to pay for the person behind me. This is something I do often because it is a little thing that can make someone's day, plus I like to see how people react. It was nice and heartwarming to see the person go to hand over their money only to be told they don’t need to pay. The person behind me smiled and waved thank you. 

Now one of my best friends from high school still are very close. So, he called me up because he was having relationship problems with his girlfriend. It is no surprise if I am honest, that is how I am, I don’t sugar coat it, I call it as I see it. That’s one thing that makes my friends respect me and come to me for help because I will tell them the truth or how I view it without holding back. And although the truth might not be nice it is at the same time. I am helping by addressing the problem and helping without beating around the bushes. I think being honest is one of the nicest things in a relationship. After doing this assignment I didn’t learn much from what I don’t already know.

Leonidas Tsirigotis Date And Time

Leonidas Tsirigotis   Prof. Ellis   14  September  2020   English 101   Personal Blog 1   I personally enjoyed  On Starting  because it seems inspirational.  The idea that a stream flowing with many fish and each fish is an idea and if you catch it, you receive an idea is  as rewarding as a “wide eyed and fat” fish. The idea of catching fish with your bare hands is also cool, since it brings the  idea that you are independent and work for your ideas . At the point of reading the poetry compilation /book, the motif that Kaye is trying to show is to go after what you want.  This is further supported  by  Strength, In Four Parts  where at age 30 he says  that he feels like whenever he does weight  training,  he keeps failing . But later  he  states,  “fitness is not a success but rather a constant state of failure a despair so basic the organism has no choice but to grow”. Meaning the idea of the beginning of Kaye’s book is finding one’s  self and growing from the failures that one would

Poem Analysis (Jackson and McDainels)

Ainsley Jodlbauer English Dr.Ellis 11 November 2020 "Anthem for My Belly After Overeating" by  Kara Jacksons' is a poem meant to emphasize the societal outline that is given to women, particularly black women, on their self image. She discusses the problems that arise with where we are at today in regards to one's self esteem. Women today are told that to be wanted, to be pretty, to be valued; they must fit into the cookie cutter shape drawn up for them. Jackson uses the metaphor of a full stomach to bring awareness to the expectation on women to have the “perfect body”. Always remaining slim and fit, a thin waist yet thick thighs; using this as if all women’s bodies are the same and have the ability to shapeshift to these standards. Jackson writes this poem to shed light on the effects these standards have on women emotional, mentally, and psychically. When women are told that their bodies aren't “up to par” with what's expected it destroys their self confide

iExamen 2

  Well I learned that throughout the day if I start off in a good mood what I say to others is for the most part kind or useful. I know that this morning I woke up with a bad migraine and I looked outside and it was rainy and I was super tired. I decided to not go on my phone right away because I knew that if my head was hurting and someone texted me, my text would come off annoyed or angry. Throughout my day I really haven’t interacted with that many people, I dog walked twice during the day and I talked to the older lady and the people I passed by. Overall I didn’t think that my communication was that different except for at night when it was time to go to work. I work at a very small restaurant that has some policies that many customers don’t like. This being said, on a normal day there are always rude and mean customers. I told my co-workers that for English I had to only say kind, useful, and truthful words and they just laughed. I knew the minute I told them that they would laugh
