@unibcarlson I have learned many things being apart of this class but one of the things that has helped me throughout this semester is free writing before jumping into our assignments/essays.

@unibcarlson “In some unfortunate cases, doctors use the free-for-service model to do everything they can, no matter how pointless, to make money” (234).

I think this quote from what “Happens in Hell” by Charles Baxter is an important passage to get at his message: “‘No. The God does not care what you say, and he does not forgive you once you are on that side after you die. By then it’s over’” (143). #cmu111

This article talks about living life to the fullest and ways you can do that. This may include best the best version of yourself, self growth and looking towards the further and being positive. #CMU111 https://t.co/vztydpJMzD

Coates memoir can relate to today’s world in many ways. Coates talks a lot about equality which many people are striving for today. He wants to put an end to racism as we can see through the Black Lives Matter movement. #CMU111

@unibcarlson “The girls in my town have more choices, though some people might argue that when you’re young and poor and your own mother lives on welfare, those choices are hard to find” (176)”.

@unibcarlson “I sensed some connection to this desire to give and the raw poverty of her youth. I sensed that it was all as much for her as it was for her children” (145 Coates).

A book that has opened the door to a new world for me is “Shatter Me” by Tahereh Mafi. Her book is about a girl named Juliette and her journey of trying to survive in a world that tries to take her for granted. This book really focuses on stereotypes and self confidence. #CMU111

@unibcarlson Stand by You by Rachel Platten is one of my favorite songs. This songs inspires people to stand by those we love and those we don’t know, even when things get hard. https://t.co/4P1R6uetv3

This relates to Baxter and Munros essays because he is talking about what Hell is and what it means to him.https://t.co/rYaD3kqdEf. #CMU111

[Lainie @LainieCMU]

“The only way I can explain our future to speak of it was that there must have been a cloud around that word…”(Munro 18). #CMU111

My claim for assignment two was the meaning of life is having loved ones around even when things get hard. #CMU111

@payton_kuechler When I play softball, sometimes I am thinking about the past. I try to keep my head in the game and think about the present moments. I have to stay aware of what’s going on in the game and not get distracted by thinking about moments that have already happened.

For my second assignment, one of my topics is setting goals. Having motivation for the things I do everyday at school and knowing where this will lead me gives me a purpose. #CMU111

Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, BTS’s “Permission to Dance”, and Mirsky’s “Epilogue: Deadkidistan” all have something in common. They all talk about moving forward through rough times. #CMU111

@miaroman23 Searcy was demonstrating that this man valued that kittens life more than his truck. Even though he loved his truck he valued life so much that once he ended the kittens life he sold the truck.

[Lainie @LainieCMU]

I think the point Searcy was trying to make us to value life above everyday objects. He illustrates this when he runs over the kitten and states “… he never drove the truck again, and very quickly it was gone”(273). #CMU111

My writing process can be long and tedious as I brainstorm ideas and determine the right wording I want to use throughout my writing. When I have found what I want to write it all come spilling my out. Once I am done writing I always have someone check my work. #CMU111
