Hi everyone and welcome to the blog site. It was a pleasure meeting with you Thursday evening. I wanted to offer a reminder that you need to bring our book, Seeing and Writing 4, with you to class on Tuesday as we will be using it in our discussion. In fact, plan generally on bringing Seeing and Writing to each of our class meetings because we will use it in class as we discuss the readings together.
As noted on Thursday evening, your first assignment is to learn how to post a comment on this blog. Here are some pointers on getting started
Below this window, you will see the word "COMMENTS".
Click on it. Next, click in the new window that opens and type a few strokes then go below the window to where it says "select profile". When you move the cursor to "select profile", you get a drop down menu. From this drop down menu, select "google account". After selecting "google account", go over to the box labeled "post comment" and click on it. Since you are not signed in yet, you should get a prompt explaining that to complete the post requires a Google account. If you already have a google email account, sign in with it and proceed to post a comment to our blog. If you do not have a google email account yet, click the prompt to create one, proceed to create the account and then post a comment on our blog. I hope these instructions are of some help. You may need to improvise with them a little, and there is probably a way to do this that involves fewer steps that some of you will discover. We'll talk about it next class. Bring up any questions that you have then. See you soon, Paul Holchak

ReplyDeleteIntroductory Paragraph:
ReplyDeleteANTS
They say "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." but i never believed this saying until i stumbled upon the colony of ants that is being formed under the cup holder of my water dispenser. The massive quantity of accumulated bread crumbs, sugar and little pieces of food droppings that was already gathered by these ants brought only one question to my mind: how in the world did they do that? I only see maybe two of them in a day carrying some whitish stuff along with them. How did the gather this much without being noticed?

ReplyDeleteWhen one walks towards my bedroom door, they will see a door covered in decorations of various sports figures and memorabilia. Turn the knob to go inside, where to your surprise you do not find sports trophies, jerseys, or any association to sports at all. Instead your eyes widen to a room with pink carpet, pink shades, make-up, shoes and clothing sprawled all over the floor. As the saying goes, “never judge a book by its cover” which in this case applies to my bedroom.
ReplyDelete“A picture is worth a thousand words.”
ReplyDeleteTracey Baran’s picture, “Mom Ironing” is no exception to the adage. There is much to gather from her photograph, from the personalities of the figures present in the picture, to the message Baran conveys about the relationship between those in the photograph. Tillie Olsen’s story, “I Stand Here Ironing,” is another piece that conveys a great deal about a mother-daughter relationship. Although both pieces are similar in some ways, they communicate their message in different ways and are both distinctive. Tillie Olsen and Tracey Baran effectively express themselves through their works; both pieces vary in that effectiveness in different ways.
Hey! Sorry I coudlnt access my google account
ReplyDeleteconcluding paragraph:
ReplyDeleteAfter having gone full circle around my room, one is brought back to the door covered in sports figures and memorabilia once more. If someone would only look at my door and never open it to see its content, they would perceive me to be a complete tom-boy. However, once you step into my room it is evident that I also have a girly side to me. It is truly important to “never judge a book by its cover,” for you will be missing out on the content and the true essence of a greater picture.
Hello Prof.Holchak
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at the picture on page 363 and am finding it difficult to decide if it is man or a woman. I've tried the hair, the eye lashes but couldn't come to a conclusion. What would have helped is if i had seen an earring hole but that part of the picture is blurry. The last thing i have on the picture unsolved are the lips. It looks like the person is wearing lipstick, but is it really lipstick or naturally red lips?
ReplyDeleteAny with ideas would be helpful.
I mean "Anyone"
