Technology!

Technology!

1) Online learning is absolutely more convenient than in person learning. I have taking a few online course and I would have to say that it depends on the course weather one is better than the other. I believe they both have their strengths and weaknesses.   

• ·         Online allows for more flexibility for the student.  All students are busy with life. Online courses create opportunities for the students that may not have been their prior. The flexibility can also create the weakness for online courses.  The lack of having to be punctual can create a sense of relaxation. That sense of relaxation can be seen in grades for some students.
• 
  
• ·         A classroom setting establishes an accountability factor that online just can't create.   The accountability does benefit both the student and professor.  This can create a bond that is tough to establish in an online setting. A bond between professor and student benefits everyone.  The classroom setting doesn't really allow for much flexibility and can be somewhat restricting. A student who is shy or doesn't feel as comfortable may not feel comfortable in a classroom setting. This could have an effect on his or her grade and learning outcome.

2) The challenges for me in taking an online English course are many. I'm not sure if the online factor has anything to do with that or I am just not that good. I do feel for me that a classroom setting would probably would have been a better situation for me.  The fact that English is a tough subject and an online atmosphere allows for me to be less discipline.

3,4,5) I thought  blogger was the most beneficial to me. It made me be more open-minded because I have to be honest and at first I wasn't a fan of it. The logical thinker I am thought, what is the purpose of this? I understand that it create a more personable environment for an online course and I liked it. I could put a face or profile with the reading and opinions. I have to say that I like blogger now. I doubt I will become a blogger or anything like that, but I won't be hating on it anymore. I get it and understand how it can be cool.

Reflection

Reflection on Course

1) This is going to be my last writing class so as far as any future classes the rest is bio and chem. from here, so I am not sure if my skills will be needed in those classes. In my case lack of skills. I have to be honest and say I probably don’t plan on using them from here on out. HA I say that jokingly.

2) The reading I have actually been pretty interested in. It is difficult to get me to read about something that doesn't interest me. Some of the readings were kind of boring and I really was just trying to get through them. However there were some really cool ones. I like reading Swift "A Modest Proposal." I enjoyed trying to get into his head. Winters Bone was a cool book. I wasn't to sure about it at first but I enjoyed it.  I can't say they Have affected me on a personal level but they're were some interesting readings.

3) As far as the learning outcomes, well if you're reading this it should tell you how I have met them? I am not sure if I have met any of the 11 but I do believe I am closer too then I ever was. I still lack the fundamentals to writing  which hinder my learning outcomes.

4) My writing process has actually changed a lot. I am sure you could see in my writing that I think I am getting a better understanding of analysis rather than summary. My blogs have been pretty stationary, but I feel my papers have improved with at least my understanding of them.  

5)I was faced with a lot of challenges in this course. When I am faced with a challenge in another class I deal with it a lot different than I do in this course.  Typically in another class I may spend a little more time studying or reviewing but in this class I don’t even know where to begin. I don't know what to review or study. I found myself spending time in this course and not getting much done, compared to math and Bio. That was probably the most frustrating.  I still haven't overcome yet, but working on it. depends what the Overall grade is to answer that. HA

Observation of A New Time

                Walter Kirns' novel, "Up in the Air," is a template for the film "Up in the Air," directed by Jason Reitman. Kirn establishes a tolerable first person narrative with Ryan Bingham. Bingham is a man who gets paid and travels from place to place as a career transition counselor. A career transition counselor is someone who tells someone else they have been fired or let go, then tries to help them find their next job. Kirn details Ryan Bingham as he is caught in a journey with little direction except for a few objectives; potentially being hired by Mythtech, the possible sale of a business allegory book,  and reaching one million frequent flyer miles.  As for the movie Jason Reitman makes quite a few tweaks and twist, but the core of the book is still apparent. Kirn even states, "the movie was not the book, and the book was not the movie, but they had the same genetic code" (Kirn interview). It is obvious Reitman creates Bingham to be a more likable and charismatic guy then in the book. It is easier though when George Clooney is playing the role as Bingham in the movie. Reitman's translation sweetens as  Bingham is falling in love with a women who has a similar lifestyle, but he is unsure of how to deal with the idea of actually becoming involved with someone. The variation in the plot is merely superficial in comparison to the changes that took place in American history from 2001, when the book was published, to 2009, when the movie came out. These were considerably different junctures in American history, the changes in; the political scene, the cultural perception of business or a businessman, the economic situation of the U.S., and the world events that occurred were transparent in the comparison of the book and movie.

Essay 4 Intro

Image Source:  http://turnstylefilms.com/?p=75

Walter Kirns' novel, "Up in the Air," was used as a template for the movie "Up in the Air," directed by Jason Reitman. The core is still there between the book and film, Bingham flies around the country living in hotel rooms and racking up frequent flyer miles. However, The film is not a carbon copy of the book but is from the same genetic code or DNA. The book and film character differences are noticed right away. Kirn keeps Bingham away from the audience whereas the film allows for Clooney's'charm to come out. An immense amount of change contributed to the differences between the book and movie. The political conditions and economic status in the United States had changed drastically between the release of the book(2001) and the release of the film(2009). The culture of a businessman had morphed to keep up with the technologies of business itself. Nor to forget that flying was not longer commonplace and was forever changed on September 11, 2001. The transformations through out american culture impacted the evolution from Book to movie. 

Up in The Air, is right!

"Up in the Air" by Walter Kirn, is the story of a man, Ryan Bingham, who lives his life on the road going from place to place. A career transition counselor, Ryan is paid to talk to people who have just been fired or laid off. He tries to navigate them to their next job or opportunity.  Bingham is on a journey with no real sense of direction. His highest priority is to become a business guru and make money on the executive lecture circuit. 

Like Bingham the book lacks any real sense of direction, at least in my opinion..  The aimlessness narrative kind of matches the aimlessness journey Bingham takes.  I am not sure if that is what Kirn is trying to do. The book is pretty lifeless, and I was not jumping at the next chance to pick it up. I have to be Honest and say I caught myself more than a couple times skimming the paragraphs.  I felt the book never really developed into any substance, at least enough to allow me to have a good perspective. I needed something to grab on to, and Kirn just didn't do it. I think that is why I was skimming, trying to find something to grab onto. Bingham isn't really the kind of guy that I would like to read about for 300+ pages. Bingham seems cold with emotions hidden underneath, I kind of feel like that could describe the book as well. The book just didn’t warm me up and bring out any emotions kind of like Bingham. Like I mentioned before, I am not sure if Kirn is trying to mimic Binghams' Journey in the way he writes this novel?

Mid-Term

1) Biggest Challenge so far?

·         I would have to say my biggest challenge is an accumulation of things. I fell behind early which is never good in anything. I am not the best writer and lack the fundamentals to write well, so falling behind really hurt me. I have caught back up for the most part, but I feel my work as hurt because of it.  I know each and every paper has been a struggle for me. Not just the fact that I was playing from behind but papers in general I struggle with. The blogs I feel more comfortable writing but when it comes to the structure of writing a paper and I freeze up.

1a) Been my biggest success?

·         I  would have to say my biggest success would be my effort. I tend to not want to do things I am not good at and writing I am not good at. I have this urgency to want to get better which I thought would never happen. It doesn't necessarily mean I am getting better but I do not want to.  I guess that would have to be my biggest and probably only real success thus far.

2) How Have the Reading in the class affected me?

·         Whelp for the most part I have enjoyed all the readings.  As far as affecting me, I am not quite sure. I think Winters Bone probably has had the most impact as far as realization stand point. Doing some research allowed me to understand affects of drugs and the few pro's and many con's.  Maybe that partially has to do with it being most recent. The earlier readings I wasn't too sure about, at least while reading them, the affect they had. I am kind of a logical thinker so to think outside my realm is difficult for me.  Overall the reading have been interesting to say the least.

3) How is literacy analysis Different from other types of writing I have done in college?

·         It is the same in that I don't understand it! As far as being different then other types, it definitely takes more writing skills. I haven't done too much writing in college, probably just the required amount, and literary analysis makes sure you understand the piece. Whatever that understanding is, literary analysis makes sure you know it and if you don't it shows. The concept seems easy, but it's not conceptual , it's literal. It is Literal in the aspect of You have to know what you are literally talking about.

4) My goals for the second half of the semester? & what would I like to improve or accomplish?

·         A few of my goals for the remainder of the semester are attainable, maybe a few are not. I would like to find more time for this class. My family life may take over and it is easy to allow that, along with my other classes. I would like to finish the class with a B, preferably a higher B. I would like to improve my understanding of writing because I'm sure that will improve my writing skills. Ultimately that is what I want to do is improve my writing skills. I know I am not going to become an author, but I would like to be confident in it!

Winters Bone Essay

Anthony Martinez
English 102
Professor Cline
March 25, 2012

 Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive stimulant drug that affects millions of people worldwide. Winter's Bone was a story that showed an intimate glimpse inside the lives of those who are affected daily by the world of meth. The story described a lifestyle that not many people know about. The people involved in the world of meth include: the cookers, the sellers, the users, and the family and loved ones of these people. Each day these individuals face challenges in life that are unthinkable to much of society. They live lives that others may be fearful of, however, they may be amazed at how when it comes down to it, they are just human like everyone else. Unfortunately, they have had methamphetamine introduced into their lives, either by choice, or by association. Daniel Woodrell may have used Winter's Bones to portay his experience of living around this world that is devestanting to watch as it hurts innoncent people who care about their families, despite their choices and lifestyle. Growing up around a the world of meth, Daniel Woodrell saw firsthand how it directly affect everyone around it. However, it seems as if it was a growing experience for him, and he recognized that it takes a lot of strength to face the power of this devastating drug, but it is not impossible, and Woodrell described this type of strength in character of the Ree Woodrell. Ree Dolly, the young lady in this story, never once showed an ounce of weakness to her younger siblings. She realized how much they enjoyed living life each day, and their innocence shown through the smiles that they kept on their faces, even when they were unsure of where their next meal would come from. One thing that many people can relate to is the warm and loving feeling that is experienced as they remember life in the eyes of child. All that a child knows how to do is rely on, and love the family that they have. They do not know better to see whether or not they are living with people who are meth users. The Dolly children live a very tough life, a life that many others would not think is possible to survive. They are unfortunate in many ways, yet in retrospect, they are fortunate to have the sister that they do. Ree is stronger than most adults, and more of a man than most when it comes to taking care of her family. Her own father left her to hold an unthinkable amount of responsibility on her shoulders, with few resources for any help. Although most people would see this as being despicable behavior, Ree kept a respectful attitude towards her father because as far as she knew he was doing what he needed to do, as if he had no other choice. There was almost never a point at which Ree had a 'poor me' attitude and the author used that as a way to describe the kind of strength needed to survive and not let meth take over a person when they grow up in a life that is indulged in meth. Most people do not realize that they may have the kind of strength that Ree Dolly has, the kind of strength that never allows selfishness and weakness get in the way of doing what she needs to do in order to survive and provide for her siblings. This kind of strength is hard to uncover, especially when a person's life has been touched by meth. This is why the author shows that Ree Dolly portrayed selflessness which showed what a strong young woman can accomplish when faced with the challenge to either sink or swim in life. In this story, a teenage girl was able to accomplish extraordinary tasks, these were tasks that many men would not the amount of courage that is needed to accomplish. The author seemed to use Ree as an example of a person who has never had anyone to rely on in life except for herself, yet ironically, she is relied on in many ways, to a number of people, and she never feels sorry for herself. She realizes that there is nothing useful that would come out of having pity for herself, and she has the bare essentials needed to be able to get the job done. Her attitude about life seems to be that she has to do what she has to do because that is the way that things go. Another strength that the author describes in Ree is that she is not intimidated by hard work because she is such a survivor. This young lady is described as a warrior who does not go out asking for help, however, she is smart enough to know to take the help that she needs when it is offered to her. The only way that the innocent siblings of Ree stand a chance in life is in her hands. This girl not only realizes this, but is willing to take on the responsibility of raising her brothers as if they were her own, while caring for her mentally ill mother. The amount of challenges that Ree Dolly experiences is almost unbelievable, there are not many adults that know what to do when they are faced with the threat of losing the roof that is over their head. Much like there are not many adults who believe that they have the strength to fight against the power of meth. Fear is nothing more than the unknown, and the author shows how an unexpected child faces the unknown during the battle to save her family's home. In this story, meth is much like a virus as it spreads through people, families, and in this case, an entire community. The power that is in this drug is able to turn ordinary people into selfish, heinous individuals who would do anything to protect themselves, their money, and their drugs. With nothing more than the strength of her heart, Ree sets out to find help in her extended family to help to locate her father, whether he is alive or dead. She is able to except the way that things are in her life and what has happened to her father. Her only motive in risking her life to find her father, or his remains, is to provide a home for her mother and siblings so that she has the means to continue caring for them day in and day out. The author also shows how this girl is so desperate to provide for her family that she trust people, who would be willing to kill her, to help her find her dad. Ironically, her disparity made her put a lot a risk much like her father's disparity put his life, and loved ones at risk as well When people think of meth users and families the first thing that typically comes to mind is that they are dirty, scummy people that live hideous lives that are filled with crime and suffering. Unfortunately, many people do not give recognition to the children who are forced into lifestyles that involve meth in some way. Daniel Woodrall grew up in with meth around him, affecting his world in some way. Through Winter's Bones, he has uncovered the life of the innocent who are involved in a world with a very powerful drug. The author has shown that the only way to face the challenges that meth bring is to be a strong person and believe that overcoming the drug and the effects that it has on families is not impossible, however, there is nothing easy about it. The people who live a life that involves methamphetamine are no different than most other people in the way that they have family that they love and they are trying to survive life. Though, those who are involved with meth in some way are faced with even more challenges than the average person, whether they choose to be a part of that lifestyle or not, it is evident that life is going to lead down a more unstable path when the drug included in their life. Woodrall uses Ree as a metaphor to show that strength can be found in some of the most un expected places. Who would think that a seventeen year old could first of all take care of herself in the circumstance she had been given, let alone, be responsible for an entire family. The author used Ree character to show that not only can someone survive in the kind of world that is full of evil and poison, but they can pave a path for others to stray away from the temptation to fall into the devastating world of meth.

Victims of meth

Victims’ of METH

Locked away in a cell

When you’re out life is hell

engaged in the life of the local drug game

Concerned about none, even the Dolly name

A depressed mother who is withdrawn

Strong as an OX Ree Responses

Fighting to keep  her family afloat

While they are rocked by the drug that is ether injected or smoked

Destroying the home and tearing the family apart

Protecting  the children and that’s just the start




Scratch and claw to find their dad
What will be the end, Happy or Sad ?

Melville Essay

Fight the MAN!

            Herman Melville has attempted to capture the daring efforts of a hero in the short story "Bartleby the Scrivener, A Tale of Wall Street."  Melville writes a story of a lawyer, an elderly man who works with mortgages, titles, and bonds, who employs a man by the name of Bartleby. An incredibly passive and quiet man, Bartleby models obscurity. His reserve personality intrigues his boss, initiating a connection. Bartleby is explained as a visibly weak looking man, even the lawyer explains him as "motionless and cadaverous" (Melville,15). However he demonstrates a strong will and  mental toughness throughout the story. Standing tall with a fearlessness Bartleby is the hero of Melville's story in his refusal to participate in a workplace that represents the sad, dreary atmosphere of a bureaucratic, industrialized society.

            The generation and placement in the story helps construct some of Bartlebys' courageousness. The 1850's Wall Street was becoming the Mecca of financial activity for the United States. Melville uses Wall Street as a symbolic reference to capitalism. The production for profit scene back then would have typically engulfed someone with Bartlebys characteristics. Whereas today's society is more suitable in accepting contrasting personalities in a uniform environment,  the 1850's wasn't. Somewhat of a modern day sit-in, Bartleby was forcefully removed and even arrested. Fed up he became combative against the industrialized society.  The bravery of Bartleby is now exposed in the story. Never straying away from who he is, the introverted person, he calmly refuses to do what is asked. The lawyer, his boss, is taking back. Uncertain what to do with Bartlebys gritty response," I would prefer not to," he does nothing (21). Unafraid to shine his true-self Bartleby simply reacted. His reaction equaling a heroic opposition towards the economic control of society.

            The profession of a scrivener offers a significant platform to view Bartlebys fortitude. As a scrivener there are not too many positions out there that are less desirable. Employed by lawyers, a scrivener would copy legal court documents by hand.  If that wasn't bad enough Bartlebys' window faced a brick wall, signifying the imprisonment of bartlebys surroundings. “At first, Bartleby did an extraordinary quantity of writing. As is long famishing for something to copy, he seemed to gorge himself on my documents. There was no pause for digestion. He ran a day and night line, copying by sun-light and by candle-light.”(18). Enough was enough, Bartleby was finished with dreary workplace. Adjusting his stance Bartleby resigns the firm, as the firm has abandoned him. Poised in his stance he response mildly, "I would prefer not to," to any and all of the lawyers request(21). Echoing his opposition, Bartlebys' backbone is protruding and no longer hidden.

            The lawyers internal battle within himself demonstrates bartlebys heroic imprint. The lawyer, a safe and peaceful man, is convinced "the easiest way of life is the best"(3). It's clear the narrator, or lawyer, is a bite self centered. Holding dear to him is the fact he once was employed by John Jacob Astor . He describes himself as a " unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury…but in the cool tranquility of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men's bonds and mortgages and title-deeds."(3). A sense of tenderness and kindness is lacking in this man. Compassion and empathy are not oozing out of him. However Bartleby pulls some humanness out of his boss. When the lawyer comes upon Bartleby living in his office, he says " for the first time in my life a feeling of overpowering melancholy seized me"(89). Between irritability and mercy the lawyer battled through his emotions he had for Bartleby. With little change the lawyer continues with his life until Bartleby is threatened with  imprisonment, literally. Charity rearing its head as the lawyer offers Bartleby to stay with him, in his own home. The lawyer is now struggling with what to do with Bartleby. A sense of compassion can now be felt in the lawyer. Bartlebys influence was valiant on the lawyer. Bartlebys stamp can be seen on the lawyer as he often visited him in prison and showed genuine kindness towards him, "Ah Bartleby, Ah Humanity"(251).

            Through Bartleby, the lawyer views his world and humanity in a different light. Bartleby, a silent hero, made a difference with his decisions. Quietly asserting himself, in a fearless stance against the bureaucratic society, Bartleby never adheres to the official duties. Bartleby stubbornness to not follow the crowd allowed him to exist. Even after Bartleby had passed away his impression on the lawyer had infiltrated him. A hero always gets remembered

Melville

Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity!

The last line in Herman Melville's , "Bartleby the Scriveners," exhibits irony at its finest. The final line "Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity!"  illustrates the lawyers' flawed understanding of humanity(Melville,250).  The lawyers position and attitude toward bartleby is parallel to that of humanity or society.  The lawyer applies a similar route that the rest of society has taken against bartleby;"Since he will not quit me, I will quit him(Melville, 172)."  He did nothing more or nothing less then what humanity was already doing. Bartleby was pushed aside even avoided ,"I will move elsewhere," by the lawyer and  society (Melville, 172).  The irony displayed in "Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity" exposes the ignorance of the lawyer and society(Melville, 250). The lawyer, a nondiscriminatory position, was lacking objectivity allowing ignorance to be present in the story as well as in Humanity.

A Modest Proposal

"A Modest Proposal," by Dr. Jonathan Swift, has a wicked sense of humor to it. By 'wicked' I mean the Boston wicked. Exerting powerful irony and sarcasm, in "A Modest Proposal," Dr. Swift is trying to make a point, a very strong point. He uses this story to reveal the abuse and mistreatment of the Irish, by the English.  The impoverish conditions the Irish lived in prevented them from properly providing adequate care to themselves and their children. Swift calls out the English by merely suggesting, in "A Modest Proposal," to kill off the young Irish children. Allowing their mother to feed them until they are around a year old then selling the infant to be butchered. The infant would be sold as a nourishing meal to a wealthy or higher end family. Shift suggest this would help the poor and the rich, as well as the over population problem the Irish have. The needy and begging mothers would no longer have to worry about all her starving, poor kids, plus she would have money. Less mouths to feed and more money would allow these impoverished Irishmen and women to be bale to pay their "High Rents" to the Englishmen (Swift). This Proposal is killing(literally) many birds with one single stone. Dr. Swift was just bringing attention to the way the English treated the Irish. Treating the Irishmen and women like animals: "although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs(Swift)." Dr. Swift was just reflecting, with "A Modest Proposal," how the English truly felt about the Irish. It is a brutally honest way of bringing humor to such a distorted situation. Back-handing the English, while slapping the reality into the Irish.

Good Readers & Good Writers

"Good Readers and Good Writers," by Vladimir Nabokov, explores his vision of what it takes to become a talented reader. Nabokov feels a good reader has to step outside his or her normal world and refrain from building any preconceive judgments about the book or reading. He believes this will allow the reader to create a new world in the authors words, severing any ties with the known world. The gifted reader has now developed the authors world in his or her imagination. Nabokov believes this is when and only when the reader can branch off and examine other knowledge.  There are a few more staples in Nabokov's definition of a good reader. Essential tools are of course memory and a good dictionary. Emphasized By Nabokov's were imagination and a keen artistic sense, with both being synergistic.  According to Nabokov's a talented reader must display all of the above as well as have the adequate time to acquaint themselves to the book.  The criteria Nabokov requires to be a good reader seems logical, ironically Nabokov wish to cut ties with normal logic while dabbing into  a book. His views are seemingly flawless when it comes to reading fiction. To learn more about Nabokov click here.

                Being I do not consider myself a good reader or writer it is difficult to answer the question of what I believe qualifies a good reader. Lacking a lot of the characteristics Nabokov requires to be a good reader, allows me to see what I need to work on. I am more of a logical person which makes it difficult for me to begin a book with a clean and clear mind. I tend to be more of the reader that lacks the imagination and artistic sense. I enjoy reading but more for researching rather than actually sitting down, clearing my mind and reading a book. This will prove to be challenging, being my mind works this way, but it will be fun.
