I think that us being able to use the computer has affected my work habits. I think this because I get more of my work done and I am able to focus more and now i won’t get tired of writing. Simply because writing is my passion. And when I was watching Back In The Habit: Sister Act 2. she sid when you wake up and all you think about is writing then your a writer and no one should have to tell you that. i feel that that applies to me because i love to write and it is one of the things that i am most passionate about. people take for granted the little things like reading your first book. but that memory of that book that you read for the first time last forever. which is why i think that this class has made me more focus.

i don’t find anything fustrating about this class. only thing that i find difficult is some of the things that i do on the computer, and it doesn’t work all of the time. but the rest of the class i find fairly easy because we get to work more on the computer. i help other students at times but not all the time. i do this most of the time i find it to be helpful to me. to know that i helped another student to achieve a goal. people don’t realize that if you took more time out to help others the world wouldn’ t be as bad as it is today.

I think that if someone was to visit my blog or website I would hope that they enjoyed it! That it appealed to them and if there was osmething that they didn’t like about it for them to let me know how I can make it better. Personally I would change the picture that I have on my website because it is very over powering of the page and not everyone like old school cars as much as I do. But other than that I wouldn’t change a thing about it. In the future I think that I will use what I have learned in this class on things like pojects that I may have and when I get older I will most likely use them to help me to keep organized. This class has helped me to gain a lot of knowledge as far as computers go. I guess its true you never get too old to learn something new.

I feel that I have all the courage in the world! You make ask well, what makes you say that? I say that because it took everything in me to get up there on that witness stand and tell the court that that “nigger” Tom Robinson raped and beat me. Not many women would be able to sit there and tell you all what happened. There are those people that make it h ard for you though like the Atticus! He was making fun of me the whole time I was on the stand. By saying things like “ma’am, and Miss. Mayella.” I was getting a bit nervous but I told  the truth no matter how many ma’ams he threw at me. He was trying to embarras the good Ewell named by making pa writng him name on the paper in front of everyone. But that didn’t help him none. It only helped to get Tom Robinson thrown in the slammer for raping and beating the living day lights out of me. I should have my own statue for that brave act that I put on for everyone!

Atticus:

I am representing a negroe by the name of Tom Robinson in a case in with a white woman has said that he rapped and beat her. People around town are calling me a “nigger-lover” and have Scout asking what it means. I think that people should see beyond the color of ones skin. Everyone asks why am I taking this case, I’m taking this case for me. No one else. I think that we have a chance of wining even though I know they will say anything to make this man look ten times worse than the situation already is. I believe that we can win this case if people see beyond black and white. In my eyes all peopel are of the same equailty. Maybe the jury will see this also.

Being a maid-Calpurnia

I cook and clean all day as well as tend to the children. They are very bright children and that Scout she is something. Day by day I am amazed at what she is going to do next. I work here in their house I am here with Atticus, Scout, Jem and this little fella named Dill is here for the summer. I shocked the children today when I spoke words about Mr. Radley. If I recall correctly I said, “That’s the meanest man ever God blew breath into.” The children where shocked because i’ve never talked that way about any white person. Today it snowed outside I reckon that it was going to keep coming down. It did but later stopped, the children didn’t have school today. So they went out to play in the snow since they had never seen it before. Later on that night Miss. Maudies house caught fire, boy was everyone freightened. Only Miss. Maudie would have burned her own house down so she could have a bigger yard. Now that’s ’bout the craziest thang I den heard. Yet that there woman do love to work in her yard and bake cakes for the children. I reckon her heart in the right place but her mind.. I don’ t know where it is. Today Scout said that she thought that Atticus couldn’t do anything like other kids fathers. I told her he can do lots of things. But I didn’t rightfully know what exactly.

My favorite thing about my web page is that we can put pictures on it. And people can go to the sites that I put on there as my favorite sites. It’s like a page dedicated to me and my personality. I have learned that by using computers in English that the class is much more easier. We can get more work done and its not hand written. Its important to maintain a webpage so that I know what we have done in this class, and to keep me on my toes about things I may have forgotten over the weekend. My website does represnt me well because I love cars and I am able to let everyone know that that visits my webpage.

A significant moment in my life was when i cut my hair. I was excited and afraid all at once. I wanted to cut it so that I would be like okay this is that moment that defineds that I’m not a little kid but a teenager,. So while I was getting my hair cut I was thinking,” Oh my God! what if it comes out ugly?” But it turned ut very good and I loved it. I like that I decided to cut my hair because it was like my time of awakening. And it helped my To be like okay now I can focus on what I need to do in school and nothing else. Now that its shorter I can do more with it in my opinion. May be I’ll grow it back out but for now its short.

This class seems different form other English classes because we get to be on the computer more than any other English class. I remember when they told us that we would be working on the computers I was so happy! I thought yes, no more writing long papers for me! With us being able to write all our assignments on the computer we will be able to get done with our work alot faster than usually. Most of my friends are jealous because they don’t have this class. With the advancement of technology I consider this a previlge privillage that can be taken away at any moment. So I will try my best to keep the computer I am on in proper working order.
