Image: Complexities of Life

This picture looks like someone took it on their vacation. They water looks like our water "UGLY" maybe if i was there i would say other wise. The Building next to the water seem like a restaurant or a place for visitation to read or to just relax. This place doesn't look like from USA. But then again, i havent' traveled the world. The water looks cold and the weather seems cold because the person laying doen is where light winter clothes, and no one seems to be in the water. This erges me to be in that setting because its looks relaxing and i need some relaxing time from school.


Im on the top of building where no one can see me. I want to jump in the water but i don't know if the water is cold. There is a man laying on sand but how did he get there. I think him and his wife got in a agruement and she foreced him to leave. After he left his home he visited a bar where he drank till he couldn't walk no more. while he was walking out of the bar he bumped into a big macho man where there started a big fight. The macho man picked him up from the floor and through him outside the bar window where he lays in the sand uncounsious.

Midterm :((((((

Our Midterm is due wednesday and we have to write three essay respones. I have already started on them but I feel I need to learn more about constructivist and traditional teaching to answer the question appropriately. I say this because I felt it was hard to write an essay with little knowledge. I made my point clearly why i feel which is constructivist and traditonalist and gave evidence supporting this but i still feel i need more input on both this teaching. Sometimes teachers can be both its just a matter of how they are teaching.

Identity as a Writer

When I was in Elementary I did not see myself as a writer, as a matter of fact, I hated it. Writing was used as a punishment so, when i wrote I felt I was being punished. This sort of change as I entered High School because my english teacher told me I need some practice to become a fluent writer. I transfered to a different high school my freshmen and the school i was at had seen my writing as above average. So transferring was a huge transition to becoming a writer. After working with my teacher I became comfortable with writing. This soon changed when I entered college, I say this in regards to Grammar class. I use to free write and I enjoyed it but after that class I officially hated writing. As of now, I am barely getting into the grove finding writing as a fun activity father than a punishment and a grade. Overall, I can say I am a writer! :)
