We All are Capable of Making a Change

  • How can you make a difference in the world? What stregnths can you have to make a difference? One way I could make a difference in the world is by starting a clothing drive for kids that are in need for clothing from Africa to homeless people people. The stregnths I can have to do this is being able to speak infront of people and have them know what's going on and why we need to make this change. I can collect the clothing that is being donated and put them into boxes and have them shipped to Africa and I could ship them myself to the homeless that are located where I live.

Think about What You Have

I read the book "I Will Always Write Back" I think the theme of this book was not everyone has what you have others would kill to have to you have but they don't. "...But then school does not have the funds to send letters anymore" what this pics of evidence is showing is whould kids in American schools deal with money troubles? Barely because the country alone knows how to balance money although the citizens of the country may not the offices such as the government,president and so forth know how to balance money in Africa. "Nation and I began working after school to feed our family" what this piece of evidence is proving is kids in America that are twelve or less aren't the ones that have to fend for their families it's their parents that do but kids in different areas may have to do that and balance school at the same time.

My First Memoir...

The book I read that is a memoir is called, "The Pregnancy Project" within this memoir the main character went through a lot of tough questioning. "Would this wreck what I'd built up over the years? Would teachers see me differently,grade me differently? Would my friends whisper behind my back? What role did others' reactions have on the outcome of my young mother hood?" what this evidence is showing is all the tough questions that Gaby went through before making her big decision about the project. What the evidence is also showing is the tough questions that went through her head to know if it was such a bad thing to go with or if it was something she actually wanted to go through.

Two Books That Have a Bit of Similarities But a Good Amount of Differences

The two books that I will be comparing and contrasting today for you are "I Will Always How One Letter Changed Two Lives Write Back" and "A Little Something Different." These two stories are both very similar and very different at the same time. The similar thing is they're two main characters in these books and they're both a girl and a guy in the book "I Will Always Write Back" the two main character names are Caitlin and Martin and in the book "A Little Something Different" the two main characters names are Gabe and Lea. What that paraphrase of evidence is showing is how they're two main characters from each other book and how both are a girl and a boy. But one thing that is different is "A Little Something Different" has multiple point of views and "I Will Always Write Back" has only two point of views. In the book "A Little Something different" when they had different point of views is when they would have the landmarks talk such as a bench or even a squirrel. But in the book "I Will always Writ Back" the only point of views they show are Caitlin and Martin. Another main thing that is different is "I Will Always Write Back" is a narrative nonfiction book which is told by both of the main characters and this story is based on the truth of what actually happened! While "A Little Something Different" is a fiction book but has special meaning to some of the readers. "I Will Always Write Back" gives the readers information based on what they went through and how their friendship was created.

It Takes Two Different Point Of Views To Have More Details

The book I'm currently reading is called "I Will always Write Back" what I am going to be talking about today is the multiple point of view is in the book. In this book there is two point of views from two different people from two complete different areas in the world. But they have similar thoughts when they write to each other it's like they think the same thing they understand each other but word it differently. They both knew them writing to each other was going to be the beginning of a very long friendship. "I felt giddy,like this was the start of something big." This piece of evidence is showing how Cailtin knew that them writing letters to each other was going to turn into something huge and she was excited for it. "I really hoped we countinued to write to each other" this is showing that Martin was starting to become friends with Cailtin and he hoped that she would always reply to him. They both knew or thought they knew that their friendship was going to grow. They just thought the same but with different wording.

Sometimes You Just Realize Things

I just recently started on this book called "I Will Always How One Letter Changed Two Lives Write Back" I am currently on page sixty but,before when I first started it at the very beginning of the book on page six I found that one of the main characters Caitlin had an Aha moment! She noticed that one of her cousins dressed differently from the people she knew. She than visited the school and saw what it was like and she noticed that's how they dressed and that made her realize that not everyone is the same,people dress differently and not everyone is the same. "I was struck by how different my cousin Carolan was from me" what this evidence is showing is how she realized and was shocked how she saw stuff differently. "That trip opened my eyes to other ways of living beyond my small town." This piece of evidence is showing how she realized it's different around the world and people are different not everything is same. 

It's Something That Needs To Change

My classmates and I are working on an Argumentative Essay. We got to select the topic that we wanted to argue about and just speak about and able to speak our voices. The thing about an argumentative essay is we write about what we believe but without using ( I,me,we ect) an argumentative is not based on opinions it based on fact after facts. The topic I'm working on is "Should There Be Single Sex Classrooms" the reason I picked this topic is because I found it most interesting because people have different completely different point of views. There should not be single sex classrooms because they're going to need to work with different genders in the future if they continue to be apart from genders they aren't going to get use to being with different genders. This topic is something I have done and worked on but that's when I didn't know more about argumentative essays  and it's going to be better and more informative.
