MY ESSAY ESSAY

                                                        Young Goodman Brown was a man who had been good his whole life. As a result of that he thought everyone around him was good as well. One night Goodman comes across a road leading into a dark creep forest to then find the devil.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

                  The plot of this novel is to tell a story between race and medicine, a discovery of faith healing, and a daughter with a bunch of questions for a mother she never knew. One of the themes is racism in medicine, the author talks about how black people and white people would get different kind of treatments/medicine. She also says how black people had a more messed up medical system , they were taking advantage because of how uneducated they were, their boodies were used for experimentting new medicine. Based on my authors tone I imagine her as an early person who gets up and has her cup  of coffee. I think my author is the type of person to eat something light, like fruit in the morning out on a porch or somewhere and just start letting her mind wonder into her thoughts. The way she wrote the book in an organized and simple way where you know this is some real stuff but real enough were it isn't complicated and gives you a clear view of the novel makes me imagine

The Medium is the Message

               The way I choose my channel of communication is through texting. Through texted because I use my phone everyday and it’s a faster way to reach out to someone else. Maybe it’s not the safest way because there is hardly any privacy, but it’s just something in some of our daily lifestyles we can not change.

The Earth on the Turtles Back

            At first I thought this reading was going to be about natural and it was in a way but not what I expected. Before I got into the reading I thought it was going to be realistic and not non fiction. Other than that I enjoyed the story and it got me thinking of the meaning. I think the meaning was the balance of nature and humanity. I felt like the expression was take care of the nature/animals and they’ll take care of you in return. I think it was based upon kindness and how you have to give in order to receive, because both humans and animals play a major role in life.

The Making of an Essay

                                         My experience with essays are not always the best. Who really enjoys essays? When I heard the basic “essay due blah blah blah” it always sets my mood into annoyed, why would I want to give all my time into writhing an essay I have other things to do too. I’ve always thought they had no point like it was just a way to distract you and take from your time. My way on thinking like that didn’t get me anything or anywhere the only thing I got out of thinking that way was a bad grade in class. You later on start to realize, yea maybe it stresses you and it takes away from your time but it always helps you learn the techniques of writing. When writing an essay think of you and the way the essay may benefit you and how it'll help you become a better writer for yourself. Essays aren’t that bad if you don’t want them to be.

A Remix

                  A Remix is, to combine or edit something existing to create something new, the arrangements and transformation of a sample. Our whole life is a remix if you’ve not noticed. From old times to the new times, we’re basically living in the old but with new ways of living. For example now 2019 is no different than the old eras there was just upgrades of words upgrades of styles. Pieces are taken from different things that had happened around the world and placed into a new “generation.” Life today and all life is just a remix of someone’s old living.
