Monstress

Almost 2 weeks ago, the class had a retreat in Mira Mesa Barnes and Noble . I was driving to school, 6:30 , running late and the class was meeting infront of the library at 6:30 . As i arrived to the library i noticed that eveyone was already gone but all of a sudden a car raced the opisite way i was heading. I manuvered a fast U-turn to catch up to the car by the school exit stoplight. As i approched the car to see who was inside, i saw patrick and fernando in the back seat,  manuel in the front passenger side, and  gabriel was driving. They turned around and saw my face. I signaled them to turn down the window as they all grinned and manuel jumped out of the car becaues he had the directions.Finding parking space at the reading was extreanly difficult. Since it was a friday, everyone was waching the new premiers at the movie theater located in the same plaza. When manuel and me arrived inside the reading,  Lysley Tenorio had already started reading a short story from "Monstress." (to be continued....)

Rul Paul Replica

It has been a while ever since i made my last post about the revisions in class. Last week in class the disscused the video "Black to my roots" by Rupaul, a man who is a women imitator.

Rupaul describes "flat top fade" as "very contemporary".He uses and example of a hair cut and accompanies it with a commment. In class we were asked to dedicate a poem to someone using

"Black To My Roots," as an example.

When i would have a great big fall, my parents were there.

When i skipped class and walked through the halls, my parents were called.

Even though i hated to be punished, i learned the lesson that was spoken from my parents.

Thank you mom and dad, for not letting me perish.

Class Revisions

Last class meeting we had to bring a rough draft of an essay explainning the difference between topic and main idea. The essay had to state the difference between topic and main idea by using three songs as examples. In class, the teacher took all the pupils and formed them into groups, to help each other in revising and editing our essays becaues it is better to work in a group than by yourself. The teacher had insited everyone to bring the rough draft or not to show up in class. Several people did not show up in class becaues they did not bring their rough drafts. It was surprising for me to see that some people failed to  attend the class session.
