Buy to believe!

I couldn’t study at all; I had so many things to do. I knew it was going to be the hardest math exam ever. Before leaving to school I saw a package outside of my house. They were finally here, the best pens ever! I had been waiting for them, for a week. I had heard they were amazing, from the comments I had read on amazon. I had to try them out straight away. I quickly grabbed 4 of them and left the rest at home. I got to school and went directly to math class. I took out my pens and I was ready to fail the exam. The teacher gave out the exams. I started to read through it and nothing-made sense. I grabbed my pen to start working. Suddenly I felt different, my hand felt powerful. The pen started writing by itself. In less than 20min I had finish the hour-long exam. I couldn’t believe it. The next day the teacher game the exam back and I got an A+.

The next day I was in English class, the teacher wanted us to write articles, in our notebooks. I had no idea what to write about. I grabbed my pen and an idea came right into me, I was writing about the amazing Bic pens.  I wrote pages and pages my hand couldn’t stop writing.  Next day I had another A+. All my grades were so high thanks to the Bic pens they told me I didn’t need to go to collage anymore. I was too  smart for collage.

That’s when I knew Bic pens are magical.

Hardest decisions of my life.

My birthday was coming up.  My mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I never thought that it would be one of the hardest decisions of my life. I wanted a new computer. I was searching for one on amazon, when suddenly I saw a picture of a banana slicer called Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer. I have never seen something so beautiful. I fell in love with it. For the first time I was going to be able to cut my bananas evenly and I wouldn’t have a problem adjusting my mouth every time I had big or small slice of banana.  My mom was only getting me one gift. I knew the banana slicer was going to help me and be a better tool. The computer just had to wait. 

Reflection of Blog

The blog I chose to review was "Top 10 Places to Visit" http://toptenpk.com/top-10-places-to-visit/. It talks about the prettiest landscapes from all around the world.  I chose this blog because one of  my passions is to travel and get to learn different cultures. The top one is the Galapagos Islands it consists of more than 14 islands. The water is clear and the climate is perfect. I believe its a great place to relax and get a tan while you are looking out on an amazing landscape. For a more active vacation you can go hiking in the The Grand Canyon. While hiking you can appreciate the surroundings. I really like how this blog add pictures to show how each place looked. While I was looking at the pictures I wanted to dissolve into them.  I believe any person that looks at this blog will want to go to these places and experience them and search more. The only thing this blog is missing is extra information about the places.

Reflection on my blogs

I started reading all my post. While I was reading them I wanted to correct many things. I believe that when I wrote them I wanted to be finished so quickly that I didn’t check them twice. I have a lot of grammar mistakes. I like my ideas there are not bad, still I can use them better and be more creative.  While reading the post their where many changes I wanted to make especially the post of “Igos personality”. My voice in most of them makes it clear about what I think and believe.  Especially on the post of “Women as Men” I gave my point of view. I believe that when people read it they know how I feel about it. Overall, I need to work on is my grammar and spelling. English is my second language so I still need to learn it better. I need re-read everything more than once.

The post I most enjoy writing was “My holidays”. I really liked it; it gave me a change to express my feeling toward my best holiday. I told people about my traditions, is something I really believe in. When I wrote it I was really exited because is something I really love and look forward every year. When you read it you know that I’m really happy and I enjoy talking about it. It may have a lot of mistakes but I think is one of the only posts I had fun and really wrote what I felt. I still can edit it and make it better.

Best holiday!

My favorite holiday of the year is Christmas. For me is so magical, being with my family and friends. All my family works and we don't have a lot of quality time. My Christmas starts the 23 we get all together in my grandma's house and prepare the turkey. All my cousins and aunt come and we drink fruit punch and make food for the next day. We leave really late from my grandma's house like at 1am. The next day we wake up late and start getting ready, for Christmas Eve. We dress up really formal. We go to church at 6pm. When mass finishes we go to my house, my mom’s family and my dads come over to have dinner. We seat we talk and then dinner comes. We talk about our year what were thankful for. When we finish eating we go to the common area around 12am, we start hugging each other and saying merry Christmas. When we finish we start praying and singing. Around 1am is gift time, we do secret Santa because we are so many and we want everyone to have at least one gift. At 2am we start dancing and playing game telling jokes we have leftovers. 

At 5:30am they leave, and my family and I go to bed. Next morning we wake up and go to the Christmas tree and see what Santa Claus bought for us. Something I love is Christmas feeling has never bean gone. Even though I'm the youngest and I have a 24-year-old brother "Santa" still come to my house. We have a small breakfast and watch movies and hear music. In the afternoon we go to have to left overs in my grandmas house. The 27th we normally do a family trip. This year we are going to a cruise. My mom, dad, sister, brother, brothers girlfriend and I are really exited for this year trip. We believe is going to be the best one and the hardest one because is one of the last time we will be ale to do long trips.

Women as Men

Women are not as capable as man, men are stronger and more intelligent.  All these are stereotypes were created long time ago. On where they believed woman were not as perfect as man were. Women were a deformation of man.  We can see how in Shakespeare play Othello woman were expected to be quiet and man controlled them. Men were allowed to tell woman what to do. We can see it with Desdemona and Othello, and with Emilia and Iago.  Women are expected to be poppets of the man. When Desdemona talked over Othello, he got offended and was something uncommon. In several occasions Othello tells Desdemona to leave the room she does it with out even questioning him. “O devil, devil! 
If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, 
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile. 
Out of my sight!” Othello tells Desdemona. We can see how he talks to her in a mean way with out even caring there was another person there, or if she was hurt.  Desdemona answer to him “I will not stay to offend you.” I think here it shows how Desdemona feels vulnerable and she knows she can’t answer back.  Woman were poppets of man and were expected to do what they said so.

In the play Othello they accused Desdemona of cheating on Othello. Othello was offended, and knew he couldn’t stay with his arms crossed. With out even asking or wondering he accused her of betrayal.  He called her mistress and strumpet several times. Desdemona was not allowed to speak her mind. There is a scene on where Desdemona and Emilia speak about woman cheating. It is interesting seeing their different points of views. Desdemona believe woman couldn’t cheat on their husbands. For her eyes woman were true and pure. Woman had to satisfy their husband needs. “That there be women do abuse their husbands 
In such gross kind?” Desdemona asked Emilia. Emilia’s answers surprised Desdemona “There be some such, no question.”   Emilia believed woman were capable of anything and woman could do anything they wanted even unrespect their husbands.

Personally I believe cheating is not acceptable. Not just in women also in man. Women have gained a lot of more freedom but still we need to work on it. Woman should be able to do what men do and even more.  What woman are not expected to do such as unrespect man or talk over them man should do the same things toward woman. Men should do what they expect women to do for women to do the same thing like Emlia said “Then let them use us well: else let them know, The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.”

Poem #1

Fairy-tale Logic

By A.E Stallings

Fairy tales are full of impossible tasks:

Gather the chin hairs of a man-eating goat,

Or cross a sulphuric lake in a leaky boat,

Select the prince from a row of identical masks,

Tiptoe up to a dragon where it basks

And snatch its bone; count dust specks, mote by mote,

Or learn the phone directory by rote.

Always it’s impossible what someone asks—

You have to fight magic with magic. You have to believe

That you have something impossible up your sleeve,

The language of snakes, perhaps, an invisible cloak,

An army of ants at your beck, or a lethal joke,

The will to do whatever must be done:

Marry a monster. Hand over your firstborn son.

I liked this poem, fist of all the title catch my attention “Fairy-tale Logic”. I started reading it and I thought it was interesting I read it for a second time.  I liked it because it was talking about how we see movies on where the main character face impossible things. “Tiptoe up to a dragon where it basks”.  The first lines makes me think how many times I wish I was on a fairytale.

She talks in a sarcastic funny way. At the end of the poem, the meaning of this poem clicked. “You have to believe on yourself and try your best. Figure out how to live in a way it makes you happy. I think that as a teenager almost going to collage, this poem is really adequate. “Marry a monster. Hand over your firstborn son.” Life is all about challenges and facing different things. You need to be strong and face them
