iExamen 2

 

For this assignment, I picked a Saturday to analyze the way I communicate with others around me because I never truly thought about analyzing the way I talk to people. Since I usually do not have to worry about school on Saturdays, and also because I got to work in the morning, it was the best opportunity to apply the activity with my co-workers. I am a new member of the group still trying to get to know them all, even though I thought it would be weird applying the activity to them, I noticed that no matter how intimate you are with someone, being able to be nice and say things that you actually mean it can be very impactful in people’s lives in a good way.

My dad has always said to me that all the positivity projected out there to the universe, one day it will come back at you in the same way. And for this activity, this concept was stuck in my head which inspired me to do this activity. I am pretty sure my co-workers thought I was super weird but, no doubt that they must have left work with this good feeling about themselves and excited for the rest of the day. For sure this is different from the way I usually communicate with people, even more with people I barely know because I consider me a shy person before becoming friends. My relationship with my friends is always making fun and jokes with each other, always making sure to not hurt anyone’s feelings though.

My friends obviously did not understand the reason why I was being so nice and kind, and I am not saying that I am not kind and nice to my friends but as I said, I guess that being goofy and playing with each other is our way to demonstrate how we care. Also, trying to be nice and kind all the time is a little bit difficult because there will always be something that will make you irritated and annoyed, and you may not realize but you happen to dump all of it on someone else that has nothing to do with it. Certainly, the activity helped me to not stress as much for stupid reasons, which made me think twice before saying what comes first in my head. Consequently, this leads back to the concept I mentioned before, being able to spread good things out to the world and to people, made myself feel better as well. I realized that life, in general, feels so much more comfortable and pleasant for me and other people.

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

  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
