Veil of Fears

The Genre is the world culture and it is about a culture war. The purpose of this piece of writing is to set up an argument of what is right for the Afghan culture to do and what is wrong. The message of this article is should Afghan culture and the woman of there culture be treated like they are, in having to wear a veil over there face and things like that. Even though it was part of there culture. The world view and assumptions of this would be that they believe this is very strange and that Afghan woman should not have to wear a veil over there face. Also the world view of there culture makes there culture very strange. It says that in some Afghan tribes woman don't wear veils over there face because everyone is in there inner circle. But then the woman in other places wear the veil because that how it is. It is enforced by the Taliban like that. The Taliban is fading and Afghan woman are gaining more freedom and as they gain freedom does it causes changes in culture. But will the culture ever change.

How my Personal Narrative went!

My personal narrative was hard to write. It took me a while to think of a topic to write about. I couldn't think of a story that really just change my life and taught me a lesson. After much thinking and brainstorming I thought of my childhood and sports in my childhood. That help me think of my story and how I had games on Sunday I didn't play in and set an example for others. In my personal narrative it was hard to think of ideas that needed to be put into the story and what ideas I should use. The read over my writing many times and the peer editing help me with things I should do with my writing. The peer editing also help me by reading others I found out what my writing should be like. I like the writing and the story I came up with and I did my best on it so I think it went pretty well.

Personal Narrative Writing

My personal narrative is going okay. It just tough to write sometimes because it hard to think of parts you need to add to the story. I have a pretty good topic I am writing about it just hard to write and put into words. I have a good begin to my story believe but it hard to add details to make it sound like me, and add voice to my writing. It is also hard organize my writing and to have an ending to it. I always have struggle with this in writing. But hopefully if I keep writing it will come to me.

Response Paper 2

The story Excerpt from Night was a shocking story to me. It really gave me a picture in my mind of the things that went on in World War 2 and how glad I am not to live in that kind of circumstance. I have heard story like this about World War 2 but this just puts these story in to picture and the things that went on. I wonder how I would have acted in that situation what I would have done. Would I pray or what would I do. This story was for interesting to me, because you see what the Jews were doing in this situation and how they were praying and shaking. I have not had an experience in my life where I was this close to death and I was shaking so I don’t know how I would act. This just shows the wrong that was going on in the world with Hitler and how bad the life of Jews were. It definitely made me appreciate my family and my life more, and this story makes me very grateful of the things I have and the place I live. I also I’m glad I haven’t seen the things the author has seen in the story. That they burned people and he had to see that, it made me very angry though and I just wish I could have done something for those people in that time. It is very neat to hear this story of Jews from World War 2 and how fortunate those people are to survive this tragic and terrible thing so we can here there stories.

Response Paper

The story called Lift Up Your Voice in Why Write I thought was very interesting to me on what they said about showing voice in writing. I agree with the author I believe there is voice in are writing and we need to find are voice in writing. In my writing I know I haven’t been the best at having my voice heard in my writing. I just never really knew how to write and I knew if I wrote how I talked it would sound weird. I like in the article how is said that we can hear the voice and know who it is by reading a conference talk and find out who it is and how our writing needs to flow like that. I also like the story about U2 and how we need to be able to recognize are voice in are writing. The evidence of how to write in the article is what the students are saying in the article that we need are voice to be heard. I like in the article how it said “But the problem is that I knew what Walcott was a poet in a million; he had won the Nobel Prize for literature. The Nobel Freaking prize!” I like that line in the book because it showed voice. I also like the quote writing without voice is wooden or dead because it lacks sounds, rhythm, energy, and individuality.” This applies in studies in class right now because we need to show voice in are writing that we write to make the writing seem more alive. The text help me understand how to put voice in writing better, so I can write better papers.
