End of the Quarter Reflection 10-29-15

1.) What strategies have benefit you 2.) How have your research skills improved 3.) What have you learned from the world 

One of the strategies that I have used to help me is going over the list of things that I had to do for homework every night before I go to sleep so that I do not forget anything. This has helped me by limiting the times that I forgot things at home. It has also help not to forgot to do  my homework. This has also helped me with my organization because I have to keep everything in different sections so the process is much easier than if the papers and work were discombobulated. This strategy has also helped me see that preparation and organization can help you have everything you need and that it can help you be ready for what you needed.

   My research skills have improved in many ways the first being that I have founded easier to find information that is more accurate. I do this my finding the web address and seeing if the website is a .com, .org, or .net if the website is .org it is the most trust worthy while a .com is the least trust worthy. I as well get information from more than one website to compare and see which information appears the most.  I also make sure not use website like yahoo answers and I only use wikipedia if needed for extra information. By doing this I have been able to use better information and have the most accurate work I can do. 

My blogs have been steadily improving since August in a few aways the first being that it has become second nature once again. Since for over a month I had not done a blog I had trouble having ideas on how to write because it had been so long since I had written a blog. I have also been able to incorporate the vocabulary words into my writing even more so it become easier to diction. I have also started to read over my work so it become increasingly better and there are less grammatical errors.  These are some of the way I have been able to increase the quality of my blogs.

 

Ripper 10/14/15

Prompt 1.)  What have you found boring about what you’ve been reading? What made it

boring? If you were the author 2.) Describe the most important event. Give at least three reasons why you think it is the most important event. 3.) Describe a character that you would like to meet (which doesn’t mean that you think you would like the character, but that you think the character would be

interesting). List 4 questions that you would ask.

Pages 0-140

                    In the book Ripper most of the chapters are very intersting, but their are a few were our many character Carver is just looking for clues in a library and they can turn out to be boring. In chapter 19 where Carver goes to the Federal Immigration Station where records of immigrants that came to the country, are stored. Carver enters the building and he asks a worker if he can help him find the document where the names of the immigrants that came in the 1889 to lower the number of people that the counter literally pulls strings. This concept seems intersting, but the idea was not used to it's full potential making it seem dull intested of intersting.

                     I believe that the most important event to have happen in the book so far is Carver finding a letter from his father in the orphanage's file storage. The first reason I believe that this is the most important event in the book do to the fact that finding the letter makes him want to become a detective even more.  The second reason that I believe that this is the most important event in book do the fact that finding the letter propels Carver to join the Pinkerton detective agency. The third reason that Carver finding his father's letter because he uses the Pinkerton resources to find his father which leads him to get caught between a killer and the Pinkston.  

                     The character that I would like to meet is Hawking because is the mentor to the main character Carver which means he has the most experience in being a detective. My first question that I would ask to Hawking would be what would intersted him in being a detective? Then I would ask: What was the most intersting case that you have worked on and how did you solve it if you could? Next I would ask if Carver was the first person he had "taken under his wing" if not than who was it before him?  I fould finally ask him how many cases has he solved and what was his hardest case to solve?

                      

Comin Home

"Comin Home"

It hurt my brother and me too

 see our parents struggle

Living in a desperate time, 

among a desperate people, 

among war 

among famine, 

among epidemic

There are only a few of them left now

thirty years of war made sure of that

My father started to wonder

DOES GOD HATE ME?

DID HE CURDSE ME BEFORE BIRTH?

I went back to the homeland recently

 to my family,

 to help

our separation was over.

"For today, 

we are not refugees, 

we don't live in adobes. Now we live back

 home among our people

 and we celebrate our 

new year,

and we dance.

They talked "Even stories fail

 me as I tried recall

I told them "Here, too, is money

With Money, you can do much. 

But exercise great care

 As I left my father told me 

remember your country remember us
