Week 5
In class we went over telling and showing writing, the professor went over a story called The Glass Castle. He began to read part by part and ask the class what type of writing we thought it was. As a class we discussed the first scene of the book, our professor showed us how showing writing can be drawn. By drawing the scene on the board it made more scene to me on what showing writing does. The second scene he had us close our eyes and listen to the music that was said to be playing in the book, while reading her description of how she was feeling. Im sure that gave our class the most insight into how a showing scene should be written.
After we finishing, we then went over our assignment that was due. Which was another story called The Miracle Women. The professor briefly went over some showing and telling scenes, but mainly focused on what was the context, text, and subtext. Which explains the theme and the approach, We also that in both storied were juxtaposition which two things being out together in a contrasting way.
My home life...so my neighbor overdosed and was rushed to the hospital and two days later taken out in handcuffs by six sheriffs so that was interesting. His mother watchs Mya while I am at school so I had to be there for her. In my opinion I feel bad and everything, but it was bound to happen! I am still trying to diet and exercise in my head hasn't physically worked out as planned, hopefully in time I can get a good routine going. I have committed to one smoothie a day in place of either breakfast or lunch, not to sure how this is going to work with needing my iced coffee everyday! Other then that I went to my grandmothers planning to come home that night, ended up staying that night and getting snowed in the next night, ugh. They honestly drive me nuts, definitely have to take a break from there, I keep saying it but never do. It was just so much yelling and complaining and my daughter is so bad there, because she knows the reactions she gets from my Nan and Father. So today I went to see my psychologist, I need to change to another! Every time I go there she refers me somewhere else, for example when I get really nervous I break out in hives, she told me to go to my family doctor, so I did and they looked at me like I was nuts. I told her about some things today and she told me to see a neurologist, like what the hell.
