VOCAB I WILL USE FOREVER

To my understanding

Allusion: is something that will happen but don’t say it

Plot: events in a story, central ideas

Theme: what the message is

Diction: the choice of words author uses

Syntax: how the author puts them

Indirect characterization: how the character is in a story

Static/ dynamic characters : static is when characters stay the same the entire time & dynamic is when the characters change throughout

Symbolism: a things that represents something

Synecdoche: expression ?














Crazy year

This video represents how this class went for me. I was pretty confused about the blog post and Dr. Preston leaving us to decide how the year will go but over all at the end of the school year I learned new valuable things.

Carlotta’s masterpiece

Carlotta’s masterpiece
Why do we appreciate education?
School systems

USA.                                        Mexico
Too much homework.              Beg for homework
Not enough freedom.               Not much access
Teachers are mean.                   Ignorant teachers
Not paid enough.                      Teachers don’t do anything


Teachers :
They come drunk
They are rapists
Get to class late or don’t come at all
Careless
