Week 4 Project Planning

I’ve chosen to do the “Think about a theme you see running through your life (failure is the best lesson, love is eternal, etc). Choose a reading that you think also discusses this theme (even if it reaches different conclusions about it). Explore connections between how the theme plays out in your life, and how the theme gets played out in the reading” prompt. I will be using the text “Self reliance by Whitfield”   and the literary devices that I will be using its “theme” and “tone” because I feel as if these two devices play a big role in this particular text. First I will identify the theme of the text in which it is not hard to discover. Second I will break apart the text so that I can put each line into a specific group. Based on how they were written that's how I will separate them. Then I will identify the tone in each of the broken up groups. Reading this text you can definitely tell that the  author's tone change from the beginning all the way to the end. And while doing all that I will emerge my life story in with the text and describe how the theme in the tone compare with me. I feel as if this text really defies me in a lot of ways because relying on oneself is a really hard to ask to accomplish however what people don't know is they can rely on themselves and no one else however there is a cycle in which no matter how much you want to depend on yourself there will always be someone there with you. It's also makes me question to text in which I will add how God  can be there when you are by yourself but no one else can.

Project 2

In the stories “ The Creation” and “ Coyote Cooks his Daughter”  there is a big theme of trust that is portrayed in both stories. I feel that both show a great amount of trust between friendship and family. “The Creation” is about a couple of friends Earthmaker, Coyote, and Meadowlark who go on a journey creating Earth. On this journey they all help each other and trust each other's decisions when it comes to making the planet. Now in “ Coyote Eats his Daughter” it's  about how a daughter is eaten by her own father. Trust is the most important thing between any relationship if you can't trust someone then you don't have any stability of Truth to rely on in which both of these stories uses a great amount of theme and tone to discuss the ways of how trust can be looked upon. The tone of “The Creation”  is very friendly because you have these friends who go all around trying to create land  and they're doing it together. In the story tone helps set the theme of ...

Time Strategies

When it comes to time management strategies I always think ahead. Like some people will wait till the last minute and cram everything in just to make the deadline. Me on the other hand I will cram everything in when I first get the assigned so that I'm home free until the next assignment needs to be turned in or is assigned. So for example if an assignment is due on Friday I'm going to do all the work on Monday and Tuesday so that the rest of the week I don't have to stress about getting my work done on time. My schedule is pretty tight this semester because I'm taking four classes which are 12 units and I do have work on the sidelines. I do like the weekly calendar because it lets you know ahead of time  when something is due. Also love how all the week's worth of homework and projects we're going to do is already laid out so it's like you can work ahead and get everything done early. As for the extra credit part I don't think I'm going to need to d...
