To Be Of Use - Christiana Rodriguez

The people I love the best
are active in their everyday life
and don't wait for things to happen,
but take charge themselves.

The people I love the best
are involved in sports, clubs, or hobbies,
and who don't simply sit around on the couch
watching t.v all the time.

The people I love the best
stand up for what they believe in
and don't back down to anyone,
no matter what.

The people I love the best
are not afraid to be themselves
and don't care what others think of them.

The people I love the best
don't hesitate to take risks, 
they live for today and not for tomorrow.

Those are the people I love the best. 

Jonathan: Drama

 In the past we as aclass have been maping the diffrences between drama, poetry, and novels. Whether it's emotions next to character development or length next to chapters, drama was the only form of writing which expresses the human emotion to the fullest. When I watch a movie that entangles a well known experience,being either a dieing family member or a child without a father, I quickly develop a connection with the drama I am more so becoming apart of rather than watching. What makes drama better than poetry and novels is that drama doesn't necissarily focus on the development of the characters rather the development of the audience. By doing this, drama insures that not only what the audience is watching will be memorable but will also leave the audience with something to enrich their lives with in the coming future.

The social outing

Our team took a trip on a friday morning to corky's diner for our social outing. It really allowed my fellow team members and i to connect with one another outside of the classroom.  We were not confined to discussing a peice of literature or working on a project in class.  We were able to just be ourselves and learn about each other and who we really were as people instead of students in an english class.  This brought our group closer together and actually made working on our class projects easier since we had a better understanding of who our team members were.
