"Of Mice Of Men" Lennie and George

I think that Lennie is dependent on George because Lennie is a little slow.

Lennie is a special needs person, however he is not too mentally retarded but he is a little

sick in the mind. Lennie also seems to have a short memory and he never seems to think

straight. George is his backbone in a certain way. George always is there to remind him of

things, for example: "dont drink to much water from that river or you will be sick like you were

last time". He is like a big brother to Lennie even though he is bigger in size.

I think George keeps lennie around because he might be afraid to let him go because he

might get hurt or get in trouble. Another reason he could possibly keep him around is

because he likes him too, i think on the outside he is rude and calls him a bastard but on the

inside he really wants to protect him and keep him safe. He is definately worried about

Lennie too, he seems to always be concerned about Lennie and he is always there to help

him out in times of need too.I am pretty sure he likes his company, because he could have

droped him by now and let him go on his own. But he chooses not to because he loves him

being around. Thats why i think he keeps Lennie around.

"Interview"

Sofia
Sofia thinks that the relationship between Melinda and the tree is that she needs to get strong like a tree and grow from her experience.
Sofia believes that the student is the one that isolates themselves and not the school. Because the students piers need to relate to the student.
Sofia thinks that if the parents were more involved that she could actually get through her trauma and she would have a more positive attitude towards life. Because she needs support as a child.
Sofia believes that the book is very good but its a little bit depressing. Because she is so negative.

College bound

I discovered that my grade point average was not what i expected it to be, and it was a wake up call. I now know that i need to try my best no matter what my freinds do, my besties do, i need to focus on Desmond.I was very disapointed i know what i need to do now to raise my grade in spanish. But im glad diana and chris did this exercise its a big push telling us to do good while we can because we need to focus on our grades now before it realy counts in the end.I learned that the schools i wanted to attend were perfect. They were diverse, ethnic, and respectful towards the students.I was looking at rider university as my number one choice because they dont make you pa a grip of cash. i was looking at city university of ney york city because i love being in the heart of the city and subways surronded by office buildings. But soon i realized that this was not a good school for me it cost way over my budget and you have to take all a.p classes to even go there.. and thats not realistic. Im definately taking the "right" path to sucess i mean thats what im here to do... get my education. i care so much about my grades and where im going in life. This has been a BIG TIME wake up call and i will take it into effect and get my work done.

Sensory Writing "Touch"

Oh my when Mrs. Diana told us " You guys better roll up your sleaves, if you dont want them dirty." I knew that she was going to bring in something mushey.I was waiting hesitantly like a predator to its prey.Then she came over to my table and took my hands and dove them into the bucket like an olympic diver. All i felt was gooey, ozzey, jelly. It was like putting your hand in a chocolate fountain exept instead of chocolate it was brains mushed up. As i pulled my hand out i could feel the remains of the jelly on me, dripping off of my hand like water. Drip.. Dropp..All i could hear were people saying oh my it feels like mucus. I felt like a monster riping my prey to streds. I could be in comarison to Freddy Kruger or Jason. It was really bad. I felt some of the jelly drop on my pants, like bleach it stung through the cotton in my pants. I felt like i was in the jungle andi was trying to find food like tarzan. I felt like a lion eating a baby garaffe. Or a cheetah sleek as night, Eating away the remains of a zebra. Thats how it felt.

Sensory Writing "Touch"

Oh my when Mrs. Diana started to walk around and she said " Its going to feel weird, roll your sleves up". I could have died i thought that it would be like brains, or a chinchilla. When she finally made her way to me and she dove my hand into the bucket as if it were an olympic diver.I felt ozzey jelly on my hands. I could compare

"Sounds of toca beach"

The swift sounds of Toca beach sounded very relaxing. I love the way that she added the childeren playing and talking. It just sounded so realistic like i was actually there. The sounds of the waves linger through my head as i write. The sound of toca beach can put you in a daze and send you off to sleep, all the melow sounds that make up why we go to the beach to relax. It just reminded me. I have not been to the beach in a while and this sound clip just gave me that extra nudge saying " Hey maybe its time to let all your problems and stress melt away at the beach". This sound clip also gave me an idea of where to go for a vacation spot, i will definitely be coming to toca. Luis Antero is a great soundist and i love the way he captures every sound on the beach. He didnt edit, or cut-out he just gave it to us strait forward. He was "Real" with us you know?

True artist to me are defined by beaing true to yourself and not changing your art but to bring it to the world and not being afraid to let the world take it as it is. Thats a true artist and i belive that is what luis Antero is. I am actually glad ms. Diana told us about this assignment because it just opened up my mind to a new type of art. Thankyou...

"Mexican Whiteboy" connection with Danny...

I have had many times when i have felt like danny did. At my old school i had a whole bunch of rich or middle class freinds and they would spend money like it was nothing. We were at the mall and we would walk into stores and they would grab a bunch of items and buy them, and i was thinking to myself "are they crazy?" why would you spend your money like that? and when i saw something i liked in a store they just expected me to buy it, even when it was too expensive. I felt so excluded, and bare, almost like i was exposed or naked for them to see. It was almost like i was living a double life or i had an alter ego when it came to friends. You feel exploited and it doesnt feel good. i can understand why danny dug into his wrist.
