Hi guys!
Welcome back to blog assignment #3! For this post I got read a very emotional story called A Fable for the Living (Kevin Brockmeier). I totally recommend reading if you would like to cry! It is about a wife who is writing letters to heal herself. Now with that being said I was also asked to write a letter to my authors self and relate it to the story. Dear Myranda, How are you? Haven’t spoken to you in awhile. Hey, I know we don’t talk as much but maybe we should. Maybe we should talk everyday. Maybe it can be good for the soul. When it comes to talking with each other, I just never know what to say. It is always seems to be awkward between us. When we speak it always feels forced. See like right now I don’t know what to say to you because we have drifted so far apart. And I feel like that is my fault and I am truly sorry. But we are going to fix that. You see from now on I am going to go buy a journal and we are going to talk everyday. But you have to help and remind me! I can’t be the only one talking. I am going to tell you about my day and maybe we can fix this awkwardness between us. Here is my 3 step plan on making this better. First I am going to go to Target and buy a journal. Then I am going to write in this journal everyday and tell you about the good and the bad. And lastly were are going to fix this relationship! No more awkwardness and no more silence. We are gonna become best friends and I can’t wait to get to know you more. To my long lost friend.. I miss you and can’t wait to see you again. Sincerly, Hailey

Hi ya’ll, and welcome back to my blog! This is my second blog and we are talking about Multimodal writing. Weird word right? But I have some information for you. If you keep reading you will find out what it means and who created it. I will also leave you the links if you guys want to check it out yourselves.
Do you agree with Ball and Charlton when they claim "all writing is multimodal"? I do agree with them on that because in order to have good writing you need to capture that person. You need to make sure they can visualize what you are writing. What is a story without visualizing?

HI everyone! Welcome to my first blog assignment for my English 100 Composition course. Our first assignment is doing the The Proust Questionnaire. The man
behind it all is name Marcel Proust who is a French writer in the 1900’s. This is very much out of my comfort zone considering I do not like to talk about my self but here are just a few things about me. Enjoy ! __1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is kind of like what you would see in the movies I guess. The perfect happiness for me would to marry my boyfriend of 5 years, move into our dream house and have our dream jobs, and then having a couple of little nuggets running around! To me that would just be amazing! __2.__What is your greatest fear? My greatest would have to be losing the people I love. There so many people that I cant live with out so to have them gone. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Something I deplore in myself is that I tend to overthink a lot! And then I get extremely worked up and stressed out. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? A trait I most deplore in others is when they always have to be right. Everything you say is wrong in their eyes and never own up to anything. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? The person I admire the most has to be my mom for sure. She does everything in her power to make sure my brother and I are good. She makes sure we have everything we need. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance would probably have to be this year when I had to pay for school a new car and a laptop all at once! __7.__What is your current state of mind? My current state of mind is STRESSSED. I just really want to get done school so I can move on in life. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I am not sure I know what that means. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I hate lying, so this question is hard to answer. I think the only time you should lie is when you are surprising someone. Because to me if you have to lie about like going somewhere then you are being sneaky and I don’t like sneaky people either. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? What I most dislike is what I use to love them most and that would be my stomach. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? I despise rude and ignorant people. Like why do you need to be so rude? __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? I don’t think there is just one quality to choose. The qualities I most like in a man are to be funny, they need to be caring. They have to be loved by my HUGE family. They also need to be good with kids. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? Being nice to everyone. Not putting other girls down. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I don’t know Im hungry I am fine/okay __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? My boyfriend! He is amazing you know? Well of course you wouldn’t know but to me he is! Love that man! __16.__When and where were you happiest? When I went to Disney World with my mom for my 21st birthday! It was the best week of my life. We drank around the world at epcot! __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? A talent I would love to have is to be able to sing! I love singing but it is not the best.. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Definitely to be more confident in myself __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? Crushing my Disney world audition and getting offered a job! Unfortunately I was unable to accept the offer. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? If I were to die I would want to come back and be there but not actually be there if that makes sense. Like if my family members or friends needs something done or whatever I would do it for them. But they wouldn’t know who did it. __21.__Where would you most like to live? I would love to move down south or to Texas but I don’t want to move so far from my family! __22.__What is your most treasured possession? My memory box, that has photos and a bunch of little things in there. __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Probably being depressed.. Last year I was at my lowest point. I would always be tired. I would start arguments for no reason. I would get upset over the littlest of things, to where it started to put a strain on my relationship. It was awful and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. __24.__What is your favorite occupation? I don’t work there but dancing in Disney would be my all time favorite occupation!! __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? My most marked characteristic is probably being that happy, bubbly person! Everyone always says to me “You’re always smiling and in a good mood.” __26.__What do you most value in your friends? I don’t really have friends but something I value most in a friend is trust and they need to be weird, and have a sense of humor like me! __27.__Who are your favorite writers? __28.__Who is your hero of fiction? __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? Wow there are so many! First, I have to say my parents because they have done much for me and are there for anything and everything I do. Second would say my grandparents because without them I don’t think I would have been able to do half the things I did as a kid without him. __31.__What are your favorite names? Oh my gosh there are so many names I like. Some of the names I like are Harper, Penelope, Magnolia, Alexander, Bentley and Rowan. I like the different names. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? Something I dislike most is when people do not except others for who they are and judging everyone because they do not understand them. __33.__What is your greatest regret? My biggest regret was taking off of school for 3 years. I could be graduating this year. __34.__How would you like to die? Not that I want to think about dying, but I would want to peacefully die in my sleep. __35.__What is your motto? My motto is “ Trust the timing of YOUR life” I like this quote because its true. Not everyone has the same timeline. Yours is going to be different then the person next you. You can’t compare lives with someone else. |
