My Antonia
Chunk 1: In Antonia point of view it would be alot of more details in everything she see or touch. she would go into everything like how it works. she see everything as a good think.

Chunk 2: Jim pretty much knows Antonia enough to tell how she thinks and works. Antonia and Jim were close friends and could of been more.

Chunk 3 : She just wasn't any person to Jim. Antonia wasn't just a girl she was more. Antonia was Jim best friends. So that's why Jim rename the book from Antonia to my Antonia.

Concluding Chunk In Antonia point of view it would be alot of more details in everything she see or touch. she would go into everything like how it works. she see everything as a good think. Jim pretty much knows Antonia enough to tell how she thinks and works. Antonia and Jim were close friends and could of been more. She just wasn't any person to Jim.

The Effects of Setting

Author Willa Cather embedded literary devices, such as metaphors, similes, and personification, within her writing. 

"As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the colour of wine-stains, or of certain seaweeds when they are first washed up. And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running."

"The grave, with its tall red grass that was never mowed, was like a little island."

"Winter comes down savagely over a little town on the prairie.  The wind that sweeps in from the open country strips away all the leafy screens that hide one yard from another in summer, and the houses seem to draw closer together.  The roofs, that looked so far away across the green treetops, now stare you in the face, and they are so much uglier than when their angles were softened by vines and shrubs.


Chunk #1:  Comment the effect of the setting on the characters within the novel

  • For some it is a new life to start over but to another it could be death like Mr. Shimerdas. He didnt nothing in the new land he was living in but antonia saw everything she and family needed.
 
 
  • Chunk #2: discuss the effect a setting on you, including imagery (lots of adjectives) and a simile or a metaphor as you describe the land.
  •  
I like to walk around and seeing things. Makes me think and the air going into me feels so amazing like how a bird took off to fly for the first time.

My Claim
limiting body art on a person's freedom of expression.

Reason 1
Companies can limit employee's personal expression on the job as long as they do not impinge on their civil liberties.

Commentary 1
Like race, color, religion, age, national origin, or gender.

Commentary 2
So pretty much like making the buyer/whatever feel  unwanted in the store.

Reason 2
Can the person do the job? If they are sitting in a computer lab, not dealing with client, perhaps it doesn't matter what they are wearing.

Commentary1
Shouldn't care what the person is wearing if he/she wants to left boxes in the back of the store.

Commentary 2
Let them wear what seems nice to them to fill the job needs.

Opposing claims/they say
Do Americas want to be ask by a tattoo/piercings person welcome! how can i help you today? NO, we don't!

My rebuttal/ I say
That's profiling on a person. just because he/she has tattoos or piercings don't mean he/she been in and out of jail or the fact he/she had a bad post with drugs.

That's profiling on a person. just because he/she has tattoos or piercings don't mean he/she been in and out of jail or the fact he/she had a bad post with drugs. I think people don't know why people get tattoos or piercings. People get tattoos because it means something to them like my piercings i love them and them mean something to me all of them.

My Thinking
I think I'm a inductive thinker why? well I like to see my host and keep getting info about it. Till I come to a theory or some what like it.

Wounded Warrior Project

i think it's a good idea. Helping our soldiers out by senting them a backbag of our thaks for fighting for our country. that they fights and battles wont be forgotten and that we are happy that our soldiers would fight for freedom. it feels good to live in a great country as the one we are living in. freedom  is done by hard working dying soldiers.

WAR IS...

War is killing, taking lives
War is befriending, making friends
War is bloody, shooting bodies down to bits
War is forever, ending only in bloodshed
War is cozy, dying with your friends
War is unjudging, taking everything
War is living, unending battles in the mind
War is beautiful, metal disaster
War is loving, going home to your family
War is twisted, killing your bestfriend by friendly fire
