Reading Notes Week 12: "The Joy Luck Club" Part B


For reading the Joy Luck Club “Lindo Jong the Red Candle”She seemed to have this type of sureness of herself.There is a word for this kind of sing but at the moment I can't really think of it. But this is what she said“I wipe my eyes and looked in the mirror. I was surprised at what I saw. I had on a beautiful red dress, but what I saw was even more valuable. I was strong. I was pure. I had genuine thoughts inside that no one could see, that no one could ever take away from me, I was like the wind.I threw my head back and  smiled proudly to myself. and then I draped a large embroidered red scarf over my face and covered these thoughts up. but underneath the scarf I still knew who I was.I made a promise to myself: I would always remember my parents wishes, but I would never forget myself”(58).After reading this quote she does seem like a strong woman because even in the bad times and all the hardships she will always keep her head up and keep her promise to herself. I don't know what this is called but she knows herself and is aware of her future. To be honest I thought this was so beautiful because some women don't have this strength and courage to move for like she does and I thought that this was a very touching quotes and inspiring.

    I love that there are a few of you who are reading the same story. I am able to get a well rounded idea of this story without having to read any part of it myself! I find it interesting how different readers see different characters as their main point of focus.

    Thank you for sharing!

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...
