The Lady or the Tiger

The Lady and the Tiger apply's to the packet in several different ways. The narrator of the story jumps back and forth between peoples thoughts and feelings and goes over the whole story plot. 3.a shows alot of what this story is. It is the choice between love and jealousy. The Princess was cruel and didn't want her love to be with another women so badly that she would rather him die. This shows selfishness and greed. The narrator displays betrayal in the princeses thoughts but never tells what door she chose. The narrator jumps from person to person in their thoughts and actions.

This I believe...

The Curriculum of my sheet apply's to the "this is believe" in 1.b Yellow. I need to know the forms of figurative language, especially idiom, allusion, irony, double entente, and metaphor to make my writing interesting and personal. I also need to understand the relationship between summarizing and synthesizing. I should be able to summarize a text to comprehend its main idea as well as to offer a succinct explanation to others. This will help me in the "this I believe essay" and will improve my writing and structure.

Introduction

In this course I expect to get prepared for the act's again. I expect to learn more about composition and literature. I expect to gain knowledge on writing essays and papers for college. I also expect to get prepared for English in college and the formats they use. I think that I will learn more about why people write and what they write about.

The skills I want to learn from this course is how to write a well formed paper. I have yet to learn the tricks to making my paragraphs flow. What I want out of this class is to be able to write a great paper with not much effort. I also want to learn more about literature and what inspires people to write such great pieces of art. I want to be able to test into college level English!

English has always been fun for me, unlike math, In English there is no right and wrong answer, you can have an opinion, where unlike math, there is always a certain answer you are looking for. I like the freedom to think about what your reading and having an opinion and ideas about it. I love to read, and write; I hope to get much better though. I still forget things such as where to put a comma or apostrophe. I would love to review these things. I think my strengths are that I enjoy reading and writing so that helps me move forward.

My weakness's are basic English grammar, simple sentence formations, and writing papers. I hope to learn how to do all of these things well after this semester so I will be prepared for college. Another weakness is that this class is on the computer so I'm not with the teacher every day to discuss these that I might need help with. I need help and I usually have many questions. I can call or email Ms. Larrenaga If I need help though.
