Post 26: two colleagues' posts about what they have learned

Ashley learned "The most important thing that I've learned is that it is always a good idea to get a second or even a third opinion on your paper, where they critique it for you. Since nobody is perfect there will always be room for improvement and good advice will help you get a better grade on a paper. I think that by doing this you can also learn from your mistakes and the next time you have a paper to write you won't make the same mistake twice. When I took AP Literature in high school, my teacher sometimes made us read others' paper and critique it, but I never understood the importance of it and why she couldn't do it. I now understand that your teacher/professor isn't suppose to tell you everything and that you should always be able to go to a colleague and get their opinion on something." 


Javorous learned "The most important thing I've learned in this class are DEADLINES. Although this wasn't a topic we discussed, but it was something that I had to pay attention to."

Post 25: Most important thing I've learned in this class

The most important thing I've learned in this class about our readings is that the answers wont just be there in your face, you have to think and analyze everything. You have to look for metaphors, symbols and many other things to help you under the story better and to actually understand what it's about other than the title.

Post 23: Role of women in modern family life

The role of women in modern family life is more on being independent. They don't wait until someone or their husband tells them what to do or how to things, they go out and do it on their own. Like earning their own more to help out around the house and taking care of their kids instead of  the husband doing all of the work.

Post 22: Plot of my favorite movie

My favorite movie is Remember the Titans and the plot of this movie when the head coach of the Titans was replace with an new African American coach, Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions are eased during the two-week training camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When players returned to Alexandria the players found the city in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. But as the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes. After the Titans' perfect season, the team and the city were closer than ever before.

Post 21: the setting of your favorite TV show and what the setting means for the show.

The setting of Pretty Little Liars is in Rosewood, Pennsylvania where all of the girls live and Rosewood High, where they all go to school at. The setting shows where they all grow up at and where most of the main events happen through out the series.

Post 20: that develops a metaphor about what you think about poetry.

Metaphors in poetry makes ideas more understandable and easy to read. It also can let you get your point around in a unique way!

Post 19: Metaphor in a song lyric

Life is  A Highway by Rascal Flatts
"Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long"
 "Life is like a Highway" is a metaphor that compares life and highway. Life, like a highway, is a long road with twists and turns, stop signs, and etc. but it doesn't remain the same forever.
