Last Reflection

This semester in English was totally fun. I had have blogs before but never took care of them but when we got our assignment to do a blog I had to post regularly and I really like it. Having a blog is like taking a piece of yourself and giving it to the world. Not only that but the class itself was a way of meeting new people, taking class with one of my best friends from all my life and remembering last summer in PSAE. I remember last summer and taking my first class which was English and seeing how completely different it was from high school. Meaning that no one spoke spanish only english. I remember I was so nervous when I spoke at loud but that help me so much for when the semester started. Now almost finishing my second semester of my first year I see how much I have learn: songs, stories,etc. One of the things I most enjoyed was the group projects. I love the group I am in.(Seeing Pedro in a skirt was one of the highlights of the semester.) My classmates are so nice and fun and I know I will continue with their friendships. While all this is happening in the class I was also working on the blog which was a cretive process. The tittle which I got from the Wizard of Oz (tigers and lions and bears oh my!) and the images are the two things I love the most from my blog. After that is the entry on The Storm. In this entry I did a connection with a song from Miley Cyrus (which I love) and I never had done the connection too. Now everytime I hear the song I remember the story. Nevertheless I am sad when I did not got the chance to do the play. I wanted to do it so bad since in senior year in high school for my English class we had to do a play which I wrote that was called Bleeding Love and it was a comedy, musical, thriller and it was so much fun singing to music by The Supremes and Elvis Presley which are two of my all-time favorites. Aixa was also on my group and we dance the jive and it was so much fun.I really was looking forward to doing it this year but I guess eventually I will have to do a mini play in college. In conclusion this English class was one of the best things that happen to me since not only did I learn but I also had fun while learning and for me this is the best way to learning. When a class is boring you will learn but it will fade away instead when you enjoy the class the things you learn will be stuck with you because you cared of the things you are learning. In my curriculum I do not have to take another English but this one will stay with me for the rest of my life and honestly I will miss it as I missed it last semester and I wish to be taking it like in summer.

Daisy Miller

Without a doubt I really enjoy reading Daisy Miller mostly because it took place in Europe. However I really enjoy the character of Daisy Miller. She is very complex and wrong judged. People like to judge and when they found someone who is not to their mold they tend to judge them harshly when they really do not know anything about them. In Daisy Miller we see how different character have different judgements of Daisy.For example:
Mr. Winterbourne said that Daisy's behaviour was because she was uncultivated.
Mrs. Walker saw Daisy as undecent and that she behave in a way to the contrary of those of society.
Mrs. Costello saw her as a girl waiting for trouble and for a man to carry her off.
Mrs. Miller saw her daughter's behaviour as normal.
Daisy from her point of view saw her behaviour as nothing out of the ordinary.
By this we see how in the novel many character differ from each other like in Lolita in Tehran which provoke different reactions
like:

Mr. Ghomi said that Daisy was the type of women that are revolutionary and they should be modest. He even said that Daisy is evil and deserves to die.
Mitra said that she envied Daisy's courage.
Mr. Ghomi also said in another class that she had paid for her sins with her life and that he did not feel sorry for her.

In conclusion Daisy Miller is a story that can provoke different reactions but at the same time be completely interesting and fun.

Reflection: Oral Presentations

Last Thursday in class we did our oral presentation about all kinds of marriage. Our group The Changeling Minds did our report on open, gay, Gothic, ghost and Barbie marriages. Mine was open and it was interesting to do research on this topic since I know of many persons who are practicing this kind of marriage. This marriage consists of a marriage in which the partners agree that each may engage in extramarital sexual relationships, without this being regarded as infidelity.In my opinion this kind of marriage are not functional because one of them is always gonna enjoy more the freedom and the other one the marriage they used to have. One of them is always going to end up hurt. The other marriage which I enjoy a lot was the Barbie marriage.Is absurd what people can do. In conclusion marriage is something sacred that we must treasure for all eternity the way that it was meant to.
