Earth on turtle's back (more info)

In my class we learning that the story "Earth on turtle's back", uses some key ways in talking about the story. It seems like when the author tells the story he wanted the text to be very simple and not difficult to the point were you didn't know what the author was trying to say. In class I learned that this is called, diction. Diction means the words the author uses to tell the story.

song of the day!

Just some information before I start this new thing. So when ever my friends or just any new people that meet always at some point ask me, "what kind of music do you like", or "what is your favorite singer or band." My answer is always "I don't really like listening to music." I really don't like saying that, one day I want to say, "I like all kinds of songs."

Essay (Fahrenheit 451)

For my essay, I chose to do Option #2 Bradbury's language and syntax are used to convey how Montag's inner world differed from the world around him.

When Montag sees Mildred committing suicide Bradbury puts a mental image in our mind so we can understand what Montag is feeling and, how shocked he also is when the airplanes are going by. When Bradbury wants us to get a certain feeling or idea without us having to use much thought he shortens and makes easier to read were even a third grader can understand.  I'm going to be completely honest most of what Bradbury says and what we're supposed to understand I don't fully get it. Whenever Dr.preston reads a certain chapter from the book and then he explains what Bradbury tries to say, I'm almost always in shock, because I never know how he got all that from like one li...

Something interesting

Something Interesting today was when I went to a fast food place. I ordered a burger but I didn't want the bacon on the burger. Then, when the burger came, on the paper that covers the burger was a sticker that read 'special'. For any of you that don't know what that sticker means, it's when you get an order and you ask for the item to be a little different than what most people ask for, so if you get a cheeseburger and you ask for bacon on it, then most likely you will see the special sticker. As I was looking at the sticker I was thinking, how far or crazy does your order have to be that it's not even close to what you asked for?
