Of Mice and Men pt 4

      There were many similar things in the book and movie and there where many different things, but lets start with the similar thing. One thing i noted was that both had a bush Lennie had to go to when he did something bad. Another thing was that Lennie killed Curley's wife and his puppy. A similarity is all the characters said the exact same thing as in the movie as they did in the book. Lennie was also as good of a worker in the movie as he was in the book.
      Some of the differences were that in the book it was more of a countryish feel and in the movie it was like a 1920's feel. Another difference is that in the book Lennie makes it to the bush and in the movie he can't find it. Lennie is also killed in a more respectable fashion. By this i mean in the book geroge struggles to pull the trigger hes shaking and tearing up. in the move he tears up a little stands up and blasts Lennies brains out. In conclusion I think the book and movie are similar and different at the same time.

Dear George,
                I think your decision to kill Lennie was a good but challenging decision to make. Even though it wasn't  a good thing you did when others here about it I think that that was the only way to help Lennie. I know he wasn't dying or nothing but it was better for you to do it instead of Curley. I think this because Curley would have just shot Lennie repeatedly like Curley said "Imma shoot the guts out of this big bastard my self." I think you sent Lennie to a better place and hes now with his aunt and hes probably tending some rabbits.
                I also think it was a bad idea because he was like your brother and even though his in a better place now nobody deserves to die that way. I could tell it was hard for you because  your hand was shaky when you were trying to steady it. The part I didn't like was that you didn't tell the other guys the truth. The thing that you did that got me was after you did it you stared at your hand like you didn't wanna believe what was going on. overall i think you did the right thing.

Of Mice and Men pt 2

i think Lennie doesn't want to be at the house because of Curley. I think this because Curley hates big people so he gives them hell. A quote to support this is "He hates big guys." This quote is on page 26.The quote "Sometimes Curley's in here," she explained. this quote is on page 30. This shows that she possibly has interests on george and lennie which will cause problems between thm and curley. I think this because Curley already seems like a bad guy and a really unreasonable guy. I think beacuse of this Curley is going to try to get George and Lennie kicked out. I believe that Curley is going to end up hurting George or Lennie.

Of Mice and Men

1) Lennie is dependent on george for many reasons. One of the reasons is that george watches out for him. Another reason is that Lennie is really forgetful and george reminds him of stuff. In my opinion george is like Lennie's mom.

2) He may not feel like he likes lennie but he has some sort of feelings for him. he probably feels like a brother to him in a way. Maybe he has sub conscious feelings towards lennie. In conclusion i think george loves lennie as family.

Speak Book Interview

Elijah de la Cruz's Interview:

Elijah thinks as Melinda grows the tree will go with her.

Elijah thinks it's the student because its their choose to do what ever they want so if they isolate them selfs then its all their fault.

Elijah thinks if her parents get involve in a positive way then the outlook should become positive but I'm not sure about her social status 

Elijah says it is very realistic but I hate drama which means I also hate the book.

I'm College Bound

My GPA is 3.44. It shocked me to find out my GPA because I never knew it could be so low. Overall I was dissapointed to find out my GPA. I learned that in order to get into SDSU I need to raise my GPA because right now i am below average. In order for my to attend UT at austin there is no GPA averages avalible but I'm sure you have to have a good GPA. The same goes for the University of Notre Dame. The nexr step I am going to take is I am going to office hours to bring up my grade and so can get my homework done and won't have any at home. I am going to bring up my grades before it is impossible to bring them up.

Sensory Writing

I was feeling anxious to find out what we were going to touch and scared at the same time. I was shaking in fear that Diana was plotting to burn our fingers off. I was as shaky as a raddle snakes tale. It was a relief to realize that she wasn't as evil as a bad guy in a movie. When I reached my hand in to the vase i got chills. It was as cold as ice. It was as slimy as a snail. It felt as if i was reaching into a jar f hair gel but instead of beardly putting my hand in to get some i stuck it in all the way. It stuck to my hand. It didn't feel sticky though. It was just stuck to my hand like if it were a part of me. It was the weirdest thing I've felt in my life.

Sound Is Art

It sounds like an on going ringing noise. It is like your in a fun house and they are playing a creepy song. It's making a sharp ringing noise. Its sounds like a distorted wind chime. A dinging noise going off simultaneously. Its got a nice mellow ring to it though. It's calming and creepy at the same time. It sounds like it belongs in a scary movie when the character is waling through a hall while everything is silent. It sounds like metal pipes banging against each other. It's not wild banging its more like a musical pattern. Its got a good vibe it sounds as if someone is banging a wind chime in a musical beat. It sounds demented. like a noise of metal pipes being banged. The noise of the pipes is being played backwards. It sounds like background music.  Link to sound http://margaretnoble.net/blog/dave_smith_poly_evolver/

Mexican WhiteBoy Pt 3

I can understand how Danny feels how he cant fit in. He likes to be to him self and I can relate to that. this is because I always feel like i don't fit in and I usually don't like talking or attracting people just like Danny but some how it just happens. Like Danny i have a habit. I turn all my feeling in to a poem, but not just any poem a rap. Music is my release from everything that is going on it helps me be less nervous or calm just like Danny digs his nails in to his skin for the same reasons. I also like Danny feel like i don't fit in because of the whole race thing. In my case it wasn't like Danny where when he is with Mexicans he feels white and when he's with white people he feels Mexican. In my case it's just around white people. It feels weird around all white people I don't know because I feel like they all got a problem with me because I'm Mexican.

Mexican Whiteboy pt 2

I think Uno regrets hitting Danny and giving him a black eye because he is starting to accept the fact that Danny is better then him. The incident happened because Uno was jealous of Danny and he was really mad. I think Uno will not admit it to Danny because he still has a competitive mind set and thats just something in his jeans, but i think Uno and Danny will become friends and they will get to know each other because they are very similar but they haven't realized it yet.
I think Danny freezes up in front of the leucadia boys because he feels nervous and he feels like he has to prove him self. When he tries to prove him self he tries to hard and fails. When he is in front of the National City boys he is more laid back and a little comfortable. I also think he played well because Uno was taunting Danny and Danny had a sense to show Uno Up.

Mexican Whiteboy pt 1

When we read the Mexican White Boy in class I noticed from the start that Uno is "the man" of the col-de-sac. I think he always is trying to prove him self. He is the type of guy who has to be the best. Uno feels like he has a rep to keep so when a new kid shows up he has to be better. When Danny showed up he he was trying to keep to him self, but when Uno saw him with his cousin he though that Danny and his cousin were dating so he tried to be better then him. Uno was teasing Danny but when he least expected it Danny hit the ball far two times in a row. So the third pitch Uno tried to peg Danny with the ball, but he missed. The fourth time he though it inside. I think he was trying to scare Danny, but when Danny tried to swing the bat slipped and hit Manuel. This was the perfect thing Uno can use to take out his anger on Danny. So I think that the bat hitting Manuel wasn't the main cause of Uno hitting Danny but only a part. The way i think Uno was thinking was that I own this block, ain't no new kid gonna mess that up. So when the bat hit Manuel it set him off. Another think I think is that Uno inside is soft but he acts hard he tries to hide his true feelings and he had a sense of aight you showed me up but when you mess with my family you gonna get it. I know it wasn't Danny's fault but maybe Uno wasn't thinking straight and he probably had some rough times with his family so his in a state of denile.
