English 009 Blogging in the Blogosphere
ENGLISH 009
When you blog, in the Title, write your first and last name as you would as if you are turning in a paper to me. Then you do not have to write my name because I know you are in my class.
For example, one would write:
Kayla Marley
English
Goldenwest College
Post #1
Homelessness
In addition, for the title, pick the topic of discussion, grammar/ organization/ content lesson or reading/literature/article title that we have discussed in class. Write the posts like this: write #1 Post or #2 Post, so I can easily keep track of them and how many you write.
Of course, you are welcome to write more than several posts, and in doing so is another form of participation and does count in the participation grade. Perhaps, in class, you may not participate all that much but in the realm of the blogosphere, you can from the comfort of your own home,
- reflect on the day's class discussion, grammar, reading, writing, thinking, and life lesson or offer up an insight that you found particularly interesting, etc., etc.
- How does it change the way you think, reflect, and/or thought before on the subject?
- What actions might you take in the future? Anything is open to interpretation.
Of course, I need not go on and on about being respectful towards your peers' opinions and beliefs. If you disagree with another student's views be discreet about it: Do not say so and so is completely wrong because of this and that. Instead, say, I disagree with so and so and here are the reasons why I do. Go after their evidence and support and do not, I repeat do not attack someone else personally. This is supposed to be a forum for everyone to share their ideas and views.
I will enforce the blogosphere like I do the class if disrespect happens (either here) aimed at me or a fellow student as well elsewhere.

As stated on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism), Capitalism can be described as:
"Capitalism is the economic system in which the means of production are distributed to openly competing profit-seeking[1] private persons and where investments, distribution, income, production and pricing of goods and services are predominantly determined through the operation of a free market[2] where anyone can participate in supply and demand and form contracts with each other, rather than by central economic planning. Capitalism is usually considered to involve the right of individuals and businesses to trade, incorporate, and employ workers, in goods, services (including finance), labor and land.[2] In theory, production and distribution in a capitalist system are governed by the free market rather than state regulation,[3] with state action confined to defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market[4] though the state may provide a few basic public goods and infrastructure.[5] The most laissez-faire capitalist economies, as measured by indices of economic freedom, include countries such as Hong Kong and Canada."

ONLY DAUGHTER:
WOW what a great story. So many people can relate to this story, including me. Being the youngest of six kids not being the only girl, but having the expectation put on me such as she did. She wanted to be known to her father not only as his only daughter but a great writer. He invested in her to go to college with the impression that she would be able to find a husband there. She had different intentions; she wanted to become a great writer. She wanted her father to introduce her as “His only daughter the writer."
Everything that she wrote was about him even though he couldn't read or write English only Spanish. It was her way of expressing how she felt about him. She always said “My father represents, then, the public majority. A public who is disinterested in reading, and yet one whom I am writing about and for, and privately trying to woo." Finally a book she wrote was published in Spanish and her father was given the opportunity to read it, and he thought it was so great he wanted to make copies for the family. It was that moment that she realized the reason she was writing. She wanted her father to be proud of her and be looked at as an equal to her brothers. Don't we all wait for a moment like this in our lives?

I could not relate to this story. The reason being is because I have not been put in that situation where I had to do something amazing or where I had to impress someone. I don’t know if this counts, but my brother made a mistake in the end that did not allow him to graduate from the Health Academy. I had joined the Health Academy as well, and did not make the mistake my brother made in the end. I did what I was supposed to to graduate in the end. In order to graduate from the Health Academy you have to complete the required courses and complete 50 hours of community service. My brother completed the courses, but forged the signature on his last few hours of community service he had to turn in. I had finished my hours my junior year, and was left to complete my required courses. When I found out my brother did not graduate; it seemed as though it was up to me to be the one in my family to graduate from Health Academy. I saw how my brother was struggling with the last year of Health Academy, and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to graduate as well. In the end I passed all my courses needed to graduate from Health Academy, and got a red rope signifying I graduated from the Health Academy. Looking back at it now, I’m glad didn’t back out and finished though to the end. She said “being an only daughter for my father meant that my destiny would lead me to become someone’s wife”. I chose this quote not because I’m going to be someone’s wife, but I was supposed to finish Health Academy. I chose it because I was supposed to finish Health Academy to teach me of my capabilities I never thought I had, to teach me about responsibility, and improve my skills. I was supposed to finish because my parents wanted one of there children to graduate from Health Academy, and I happened to be that child. I’m glad I did finish because if I didn’t I would not have that extra piece to help me get that good paying job in the future.
Amanda, you were really touched by the story and that brings about your epiphany that everyone waits for this once-in-a-lifetime happening. You are right that Sandra waits her lifetime for it.
We should all be so fortunate.
Nick, you discuss seeing your brother and learning from his mistakes. Good read, definitely, but how does it relate to Cisneros' story? Is it about redemption? It might be. We will discuss it in class.
Good work both Amanda and Nick. There is a juxtapositional view that both of you take that opposes each other in terms of relating. Nick, you are a man. Amanda, a woman
However, both of you took time to anlayze Cisneros' _Only Daughter_. This start is a good one.
Next?
only daughter
Wow this story is a great it talk about the life of girl who writting about her life and her kids.She talk about how she writes poem and stories without her family advice about what to write. I can't relate to this story but i don't write as much as her i really don't like to write unless the story is instead to me. This story was okay but not the best i have read the story could have little more deatil i think. She talk about how she is disinterested to public and reading will i can't read that well but i try. The story ending was not will put out in my mind i think we they could have had more deatil about her or his life and example a little bit more about everything.
Good effort Christine.
Thank you for being honest.
It goes back and forth in terms of what you (dis)like about the story.
I even get an idea of how your thinking works--back and forth--that is.
I do not grade on grammar as I see all your sentence run together.
Try focusing and simplifying your thoughts before writing.
Good effort though!
Happy Post Halloween Day All!

From the section of "Only Daughter" that was given to us, it seems like an non-fictious autobiography. I have also read "The House on Mango Street", which she talked about her child-hood, and upbringing. I can relate with Sandra Cisneros a little bit, as that I'm not female, nor from a big family. The reason I can relate is that I myself, want want to become someone that one could be proud of, so that my parents could say, "That's my son". During the end of "Only Daughter", she finally realized that her father appreciated her work. Having the story that Cisneros's father read translated into Spanish, a language that Cisneros's father understood, he finally realized that her years of college education wasn't a waste.

Only Daughter:
It is a great story. I cna relate in a way. Being the youngest, not only my parents but all my brother and sister expected a lot from me. On the othet hand, I'm not like her on the part she wanted her dad realize her dream as a writer. One who paid for her intuition to go to school. I don't have that. I have dad who lives with me was never there for me. My mom and my sibling was there to support me mentally and financially. There was part where the story talks about her dad want her to go to school hoping she was going to find her soulmate. My parents don't believe in that. They don't want me to get married. And if I do I have to take a lot of time to get to know this person. At the end of the story, her father finally realize her work. He was proud of her. Personally, I don't know when I can make my parents proud. All I know is that I got my license in Medical Lab Tech. I just don't have enough confidence to let my parents know. I know what to expect from them.

I can relate to this article of "only daughter." My parents look up to me. Im the future to take care of my family. My father is very proud that I graduated. He did not got to school and my brother did not finish school. One is just happy that i graduated. I want to be known by father as the one who steps up in the family. I dont know if he is proud of me. I want my sister to look at me at the same level she is at because i know shes really succesful right now. I choose to be who i am right now and im going to make it.

This article was eye opening for me. The main character was the onky daughter in her family. That i hard for me to imagian because I have 2 sisters.I never had to fight for attention with my father. All of my sister and I were involved in sports so my dads dream had already came true. So being the only girl isn't very hard me.
Haveing a father think that thr only reason your going to college is to get a husband i sorta of funny. Thats how poeple did it in the olden days, but not now. Her father was raised to believe that so he wants his family to believe it. When she writing and trying to move up in the world her dad just blew her writting off. Her dad thought thet her going to college was a wasted of education. When she saw it as a good investment.
The christmas when she went back to Chicago changed everything.
Through out her life she only wanted to be reconized by her father. She was excited to see what he would thing about the book she wrote. The moment when she saw his face have some kind of hope that her book was actually good, was the moment she finally new that all the hard work paid off.
I really like how we made the test questions, to this story, in class on monday.

My Thoughts
Only Daughter, by Sandra Cisneros, is a very up lifing story. I absolutly love the ending. How she over comes society, and her family, to fullfil her dream and passion. She realizes not to regret and fret on her unfair child hood, but completly turns her life around to one day become, what one could say, the father of her family. It is an amazing story, especially for women to read and believe in!
Absolutely, Kasandra,
There is a definite role reversal going on here. It really is something to see that the daughter and father switch places. It is a longtime coming, but some people wait a lifetime and never get the love and validation that Sandra finally gets from her father.
We should all be so lucky.

In class Mr. Hsiao told the class to blog for homework. However, I am not sure what we need to blog about. At first I thought we were suppose to blog about what we read, but i don't get it too well. now I'm just going to blog about anything. Whats been going on through my mind the most is what the class talked about on Tuesday. I feel the pain and send my best reguards with you, Brenda, and your friends family. I too have lost a loved one in my life. When i was six years old my father died of cancer. That is one of the most vivid memories I have to this day. I remember being in that hospital room when he died. I remeber seeing the man I admired most hooked up to a bunch of machines. Most of all I remember his face, his last words to me, and the moment he took his last breath. It's memories like those that one can never get rid of. However, one must try to remember the good memories. When a loved one dies that is all we have left to remember them by. I don't really remember much about my father, but at least i still have the memories.

Only Daughter
This is a very touching story. I may not come from a family with 6 brothers but I am hispanic and I am very familiar how traditional hispanic fathers are and what they expect of their daughters. Back then all they really wanted was for their daughters to find a nice hard working man who would be able to support them, while she was home taking care of the housework and children. Now most Fathers want their daughters to have an education and not have to depend on men to support them.
Sandra Cisneros would tell her dad what she wanted to become thinking he was proud of her eagerness for knowledge but really he saw her education as a chance to catch a nice husband.This upsetted Sandra because she wanted to show her father that she can do something good with her life and be successful whether she has a husband or not.
though out her carrer she does become successful and recieve many awards.She accomplishes so much yet the only thing she truly wants is for her father to be proud of her and be able to say "This is my daughter, the writer."
i really liked this story and was able to connect with it somehow.
Awe, I am falling aseep right now while im trying to finish my paper. I hope i can last through class tonight! Esspecially cause i'm not feeling to well.... See everyone soon.
Only Daughter was an okay story. It reminded me of my self in so many ways. First off, I myself am a writter. I have written a lot of songs and poems. I am currently working on a auto-biography. However, I was 1 of 3 sibilings. I had one brother and a baby sister. I can kinda relate to the story here because my brother played baseball. I was alway writting music and my dad when to his games. Wow, I guess I could relate better than I thought. Someday I would really like to make my dad and mom proud. I was completly dis owned from my family. Maybe one day when and if I publish my auto-biography, my parents will read it and see who I really am.

"So many Englishes, such a small world." I think writing about all the different englishes is a great topic to write about. There are so many different englishes that we don't even realize it. This essay really allows us to express who we are, where we come from, and why we talk the way we do. Everyone is so different, even the small group of people in our class. I'm really excited to hear about everyones different englishes, and why they change the way they speak towards different people. I know personally in my life there are three main enviorments in which I change my English, Work, Family,and Relationship. English is such a great gift that can be adapted, we don't even know it!

Differnt Englishes
Well this was an interesting topic to write about. I never really payed attenion to the differnt englishes that i use to talk to differnt people. I think that i usually use "slang" english with my friends and even sometimes my parents because i dont think alot of kids are very proper when thay talk to their parents. the english i picked was relationship english. i wrote some of it out alread and im liking it so far. i think the girls will be able to relate to me more than the guys!
Jon,
I am gladdenned that you see the autobiography in the same light as Sandra Cisneros saw hers as a gift for her father and for their relationship. I just hope that it works out when you show them the book because see how Sandra waited a lifetime, and her father could have not liked the story at all. However, probably, because she was a great writer and she knew her audience the general public and her father and she studied the craft for over a decade she was able to tune the story to the tastes and mind of her dad.
Poignant and real
Mireya,
I have heard that before that my papers and assignments are hard, and I am glad that you got an early start to it.
Absolutely, remember that this is a forum for all of you to ask me questions about the paper.
There is a lot to it, and I bet there are specific questions you have in mind.
Good work!
Amanda,
You had a great start to your essay, and you followed the assignment's organization to a tee. Good work, and your paper should be an example to all even though I know you do not want that extra attention. Fill out all the details and follow through on the organization of it all and the quote as well and you should be fine.
Breaneka,
I can already tell that yours will be a story that most of the other women in class will enjoy because of what you shared with your antique pink Winter Formal dress. Yes, I do not believe you will ever share another story because of my incessant mentioning of it.
Flush out the details and fill in the gaps in thought and definitely follow the organization of it.
Kasandra,
I hope you feel better, and remember that you all have to take care of yourself as the temperature changes and we head into Autumn and then into Winter.
I am not your parent, but fluids, warmer clothes, and sleep is all important.
I will give the organization of the paper on the blog tomorrow, and if any of you have any more question, please do not hesitate to ask.
Do not miss any more IRACs all. No one can afford to miss more than one and even two. It is nearly impossible to recover.
Keep the posts coming though.
Jon, Angel, and Nick,
Would we not like to read your profile to get more of a sense of who you are?
I would then say fill out your profile: it does not take more than five minutes and find a picture of yourself as well.
Is everyone doing fine with the grammar exercises as well?
I have made an outline for the writing and yes, the grammar quiz is very odd. I use one way to fix the sentance and when i get to the next one i change my mind, and want to do it all different.
I have been drinking so much water I'm going to pop like a balloon. When i got home that night i had a 100 degree fever. I do feel way better now though!

My question about the pper is:
What is the difference between the thesis and the map sentence?
I really liked the way mr.hsiao explained it. It really helped alot. The writing process is not to complicated.
This is great paper to write about! We all have our own cave, and now we get to explain a little of why we are they we are. My paper is about the passing away of my father. What are some of you guys papers about?
Professor Hsiao:
If you are writing about four significant things in your life that have been affected by your cave. Three are interpersonal and One is physical, how would you transiston from a interpersonal trait to a physical trait?

The writing process for the Allegory of the Cave paper that I used was a simple one. First, I wrote down all the ideas inside a brainstorm diagram, which I did in class.
Then, I Started to write paragraphs on some about some of the subjects that were in the brainstorm diagram, which I did in class.
Next, I typed up those paragraphs, and started to add more, corrected mistakes. I also structuralized these paragraphs into the correct MLA format.
After all that, I ended up with a rough draft, and printed it.

So, for the paper talking about the future should all the paragraphs be in past tence except the third body paragraph?

Thank you very much! Is that all that is due, the final draft?

Socrates went through a great deal as a prisoner. It seemed that he was still a prisoner of himself. Even though he was released he did not understand he was not behind bars anymore. Glaucon did not understand right away what Socrates was going through. I do agree that it is better to be kept in captivity if you are going to still live in that mind set.

My first impression of this class was how comfortable I feel in the classroom environment. Mr. Hsiao creates a fun atmosphere for learning with his cool personality. I feel like I'm looking forward to opening up to a great experience.

I am really having a hard time with putting quotes into my paper. I think that homonyms is very confusing. I cant seem to relate my paper to it... ahhh.
After reading the Erosion of civilization I found myself thinking about how i really feel about war. I am not a fan of it and i feel like we are sending thousands of lives to help Iraqs people and no one is really worried about our people that are suffering. I know that sounds really selfish but I think that we have many issues here that need to be fixed first. when J. Dimond talks about world war 1 he says that " as the end product of this history, the former world center of wealth, power, and civilization is now poor in everything except oil. I just want to know how we can make sure that doesnt happen again when we leave iraq. Im just not sure that we have enough money and resources to correct all of their problems as well as our own. J.diamond states "that we can not take on the world militarily." I strongly agree.
