Thanksgiving

  Thanksgiving. One word that can hold so much meaning. It can mean a lof of things, to a lot of different people. For some, its about the food. All the traditional stuff that you've known your whole life. Turkey, mash potatoes, rolls, stuffing, and pie. To others, its about the family. The people that are around you matter on holidays such as this one. So Thanksgiving. What else does it mean?

  This Thanksgiving of 2012 was well spent, in my opinion. I travelled 6 hours worth of time to Spokane, WA. Which is where my mom's side of the family currently lives. I had an amazing time tasting cranberry sauce and drinking apple soda once again. You'd think that eating one specific meal every year would get old or tiring, but it never does for me. I loved spending time with my 3 cousins, who are very close to my age. I also loved seeing my grandparents and staying at their home for a half week. Thanksgiving is about being thankful for what you have, no matter where you are in life. I am thankful for my family, whom I get to see more than once, every year. I'm thankful for all the food I am blessed to eat. As well, I am thankful for life in general, because if I did not have it, I would not be able to enjoy and experience these moments in life that we all cherish so much. Be thankful more than once a year! Enjoy the holiday season!

Technological Literary Advancement?

Many elder generations whom did not grow up in the world of technology find it to have tarnished the so called good name of life's offerings. We could sit around and argue all day about if new technology is healthy or not for our society, but honestly, there is no point. Life moves in a forward direction, never back. Every aspect of everything we know is changing, including our world of writing. Nowadays, information is at everyone's fingertips. It is able to be retrieved in seconds. It is no wonder how that changes the way we write. If anything, it has made it more competitive. Since information can be so quickly created, published, and retrieved thanks to the internet, becoming a fully functional writer has gotten much more difficult of achieve. However, this does not mean that the internet has not aided with such a goal either. It has become much easier to get your works out there. You can post, create websites, and contact others in the blink of an eye. All it takes is a ...

Thursday Thoughts

April 18, 2013 So, this week I edited and finished my cityscape/urban project. I definitely took a bigger risk with this project, especially when it came to editing. I also became surprised with some images that I wasn't too happy with in the beginning. I edited lots of images to make them more strong and bold. I loved doing this project so much. As far as critiquing goes, I didn't get much of a chance to do very much of it this week. Although, I did help Zac out a lot with helping him choose which pictures stood out more than others. I thought it was cool how bold he was in this project.

Genders And Writing

It seems like a logical, but ancient idea that our genders influence the way we write. Someone might say that women write more emotional and men write more logically and factually. While in some cases this may be true, it cannot be said for men and women writers as a whole. The truth of the matter is that it is our culture that influences the way we write. If we grow up in a culture where men are not emotional and women are, the roles will be assumed by each gender. This is not because they simply feel they are emotional or not, it is because they want to fit into society and not be deemed a strange and unique person. Gender roles and personality traits are simply just a part of culture. Honestly, men can be very emotional, and women can not be at all. It all depends on the individual. This is what makes writing so beautiful. The individual gets to speak, not the gender, the race, the country in which they live, but them. The one person gets to have a voice different than anyone else...
