Second 1/3 Date & Time

 

Second third of date and time

 

Date and time by Phil Kaye is a book or a story telling that describe Kaye childhood in uniquely way on what he experience when he was growing up. And the way he tells his story is unique is not like how other authors tell. The way he organizes and the fact that he uses poem to tell his story. Every book has a beginning, middle and end but Phil fell like it wasn’t necessary to write his book in that order and that was something that put his book unique.  Reading the end of the book first and not knowing what happened first   or in the middle, that give me the wanting to keep reading. in the end Kaye mostly talk about his family relation.  the fact that he was Japanese American his father being   Jewish while his mother being Japanese living in the United States. and the fact that his father and mother got divorce when he was too young. “My parents left each other when I was seven years old “(Repetition. 32)

 

Thought the second third of date & time Kaye experience many things when he was growing up and the one that impact him the most was  being  bully based on his physical appearance with the  people that he’s always surrounded with on his daily mostly his friends were the one that keep bullying   .” your legs are too puny you can’t be Aladdin” ... “whoa- you’re a skeleton “, “have you ever done a push-up in your life?”(strength, in four parts.) all of these were the things that he faces daily that lead him to start changing who was by doing things he doesn’t want to do,  so he can impress everyone around him and show everyone that he fit  in  even though at the end he realize he was and accepted who was “ I think is true I am just weak  ...I have learn fitness is not a success”(strength, in four parts. 45) .

what I learned this semester

  Its not just what I learned this semester through this class, it's the experience, the motivation, the literature, and the content I felt coming to this class every Monday and Wednesday. I learned alot through this class, first, I learned to be motivated, through Dr. Ellis’s constant uplifting and motivating comments, I actually learned to be more confident in my work and produce better papers. Through the presentations and class discussion, I was able to attend a class that had fostered such a comfortable space for students allowing us to practice our speech and discussion qualities. Through these discussions, I was able to be prepared for the next assignment due, not only that but I was able to go back home after class with a fruitful amount of new knowledge. English, reading, and writing used to be something I was genuinely afraid of but through this class, I have learned that there is more to it. Literature holds so much meaning in a student's life as we continue to study...

What I learned this semester

 This semester I learned there are multiple ways to interpret the text. Such as The Waltz, where some people interpreted the text to be about a father and his abused son. Others interpreted it as friendly interaction between father and son. These interpretations are bought on by the person's experiences and past experiences, making every analysis unique. I once thought that there was such a thing as a right and wrong analysis, now I've learned that any analysis is right as long as it can be proven. I'd say more than learning, I found this course an experience. An extremely good one. Just as thrilling as falling in love with a new song on the radio. Its thanks to my classmates but also to Dr. Ellis for enabling and hosting such a space where we can have the amazing conversations that we do. A safe space to learn and grow. The feel of a home or a small little book club of friends.  Literature can show a person's way of thinking while also expanding upon it. Literature is ...

What I Learned This Semester

 Among the different things I learned this semester, more specifically in this class, probably the most interesting and inspiring were by far were the different works based on vocation. This included Red Palm by Soto, When I Consider How My Light is Spent by Milton, and the interview with Father Kolvenbach. For this reason I wrote my paper on their writings and have integrated their thoughts in some of my other classes and extracurricular activities, at times even quoting them, and there are multiple reasons why. Among these are the citations that the yoke we carry doesn't always need to be the most strenuous for us to be accomplished, but oftentimes it just needs to be the right one. And even so God, nature, the greater good, or whatever one would prefer doesn't need our specific talent in a messianic sense, but instead blesses us with the ability to serve it's purpose. And to avoid serving this purpose in the end would only be to sell ourselves short.  Kolvenbach first to...
