An Earth Shattering Fart

My response to "A Sound of Thunder" was how crazy one little small change, can make a big difference. For example, in the story Eckels just got out of the pathway and stepped a butterfly in the past and when he came to the future, the writing was different and it changed the presidency. So all Eckels did was step on a butterfly and it changed many big things. I also found the story interesting because of the time traveling and hunting dinosaurs.

Something Interesting

Something interesting is that I'm trying to catch up on my blogs for this course.

WOW, THAT WAS QUICK

All I can say is that time goes by so fast. I still remember the first day of class, where we had to choose blogs or books and the final exam was a long time yet to come. Now we took the final exam and the first semester is almost over. I find it crazy.

"Immigrants in our land"

So today during English class I re-read "Immigrants in our land" by Jimmy Santiago Baca and Jessica  Para's analysis and I agree with Jessica. I agree on how the poem is saying how immigrants are leaving because of the bad things that is happening in their native land, but the place they migrate to is no different. Also, I think that immigrants have high hopes and probably get disappointed because, like I mentioned, it's no different.

Also, when my table and I were talking about the poem, we were talking about how we can see Jimmy Santiago Baca point of view when he was in jail. I can see his point of view when he says that his old clothes are taken away and how he has to wear an overall "mechanic wear". Another thing, is that he talks about what people were, what they did,  in the "old life"  and now in the "new life" (jail) "counselors" tell them what to do.
