Quater 2 Reflection

Quater 2 has been an expierence to me and really tested how much I could handle. I have learned alot for the past couple of months and I expect to learn much more after that. The area I have learned the most out of is writing. Back in Quater 1 I didn't understand the whole concept of the T.I.Q.A format until now. Writing has become easier using formats I never seen before. Right now I learned something else as well, I learned the A.N.T format. Writing about what I read got better making me more confident. Confident enough to join battle of the books for the first time! This has setup  a new goal for this quater and for the rest of the year.

In 2017 I have personal goals for this class. Although this year so far has been fairly boring, nothing has happened that is actually interesting. The only thing that has happened this year is I signed up for battle of the books. I think this is a huge accomplishment for me personally because I never thought I was a very good reader. Since I never really had anything that big happened yet I still have goals. Finishing the 20 book challenge will be one of them. Trying to improve my writing skills has also been on my mind this year.

The most difficult part about this quater was me not finishing work at home. I never really like doing work at home and I want my free time. But I tried to help this problem by not being so distracted by the littlest thing. Although I don't haave ADHD or anything it's just that when I don't enjoy something I never really pay attention to it. This year I hope that I will be able to concentrate more on work and less about free time. It may seem easy to some people but for me I like with more than 10 people in my house and about fifty percent of them are under the age of 8 years old. So having my own free time is pretty hard, especially when all the adults are at work until five thirty to six at night. This year will be different but it may be a long process but it's worth it when I don't have to worry so much about work.

The quater many have flown by but I have 2 more quarters left for this year. The 3rd quater would have changes and improvements. It's time to have new start, and mind set for this quater and work like I've never had before.

One really important difference is that the punishment that Jem goes through with Mrs. Dubose is not there. Mrs. Dubose was really important because it really showed a lot of impact on Jem and is maturity. When he destroyed those flowers atticus gave him advice that would help him control his anger. Withought it in the movie you never knew what made him change. In one of the plots in the film was racism and also disagreements about atticus taking the job to protect Tom. In the book it reflects a lot of that to Mrs. dubose and her commments about it. In the film it isn't as noticeable besides Mr. Ewell saying some racist comments.

I disapprove the film because it skips over many events that happened to Jem and Scout. Some of those events also bring a strong message but was never shown in the film. The events that were skipped were also part of the plot in the book. There are times when it just went to fast for some people to understand. They never explained who Boo Radley is exactly and how the kids were playing Boo Radley. If you never read the book Boo Radley will just be confusing. The presents that Boo gives them is also a blur since it only depicts only one time Jem gets something from the tree.

TKAM Quotes Poem

       In this country in which all men are created equal

         There's a lot of ugly things in this world

         Nigger lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything
         An ugly term to label somebody        
         As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men.
         White man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins.   
         White mans who'll take advantage of a negro
         There's nothing more sickening to me 
         Some negroes lie
         Some negroes immoral 
         Some negroe men are not trusted 
         I do my best to love everybody
         You never really understand a person,
       Until you consider things from his point of view
