Sandra Cisneros Reflection
Reflection My piece Eighteen going on Four was a remodeled after Sandra Cisneros writing, Eleven. This writing was something I feel very emotional about because during the time that we were writing these in Creative Writing I had experienced my first very bad anxiety attack. So, as a way to express all those emotions I poured them out into this writing. This is probably the first writing that I put all my emotions into so I feel very connected and proud of this piece. I feel like I have never put more work into a piece then this one because I wanted it to be perfect. I wanted to have others feel the emotions that I felt during an anxiety attack and hopefully understand. I remember after I had finished this piece I never wanted to see it

    In her poem “Quinceanera,” Judith Ortiz Cofer illustrated a teenage girl who had just turned fifteen years of age. Also, as the author suggested, the poem’s speaker was the girl, narrated through her own voice and perception. Was she dreading the fact that she was about to transition to being a young woman and will have more responsibilities as an adult? On the other hand, was she excited and looking forward to being regarded as a more mature individual? Consequently, the former was precisely accurate of what she was feeling at that moment.…

    Hi Kema, awesome story and even greater courage might I add. Your paper clearly has one of the three topics mentioned in the rubric, the ideas are clearly developed and connected, it held my attention, has an effective beginning and ending and also has closure. Its not confusing or leave me wondering, it describes a particular character, setting, event and place. It has an authentic voice and the description goes far beyond common place, typical and mundane to create a convincing, creative, perspective from the narrators viewpoint. This piece had very vivid, figurative language that possessed concrete nouns, active verbs, and adjectives that made the piece interesting and held my attention as I sat on the edge of my seat.…

    The House On Mango Street and “ Only Daughter” both prove that being an Mexican- American women is a struggle. As Cisneros shows her first hand experience, and as well shows it through story telling. Yet without telling a biography and going straight to the point she shows emotion by using literary elements. Sandra Cisneros Chose to use metaphors and imagery to express the hard ships of being a Mexican- American women. If Sandra Cisneros did not use literary elements to show the lifestyle of a Mexican-American women, the points that she showed in both the texts would not have been as powerful as they were.…

    In the rock cycle igneous rock is formed when rock melts and the resulting magma or lava then cools. Sedimentary rock is formed when rock is weathered and eroded and the resulting sediments are compressed to form a new rock. Metamorphic is formed when rock is subjected to intense heat and pressure underground. Through these processes, each type of rock can be converted into either of the other two types (Withgott, 2011). Over time, wind, weather, and physical damage can erode rock into gravel, sand, silt, and clay particles. Once rock has been broken down into small components they can be deposited, often in or along water features in layers. Over time, these are compressed into layered rock, called sedimentary rock. This, too, can erode back into smaller fragments. Igneous or sedimentary rock buried underground and exposed to extreme forces of heat or pressure can change form into metamorphic rock, which may be quite different from its original form (Biology). Sedimentary rocks form by breaking down other kinds of rocks into small particles and washing or blowing them away; metamorphic rocks form from other rocks and igneous rocks form by melting other rocks. Thus rocks are always changing form and are redistributed as part of a giant cycle of renewal (Tauxe).…

    Sweat slowly trickled down the side of my face. Every second brought a sharp “tick!” from the clock; every second caused my stomach to sink lower and lower. I started to feel the pressure increasing second by second as time crept closer and closer to the deadline. Hastily, I wrote my introduction like it was nothing; a simple four sentence introductory paragraph. Words were flying through my head, channeling all the way down to my fingers. Abruptly, I looked at the clock and it was already 11:31 PM. I told myself, “I can do this. It’s a lot easier than I thought!”. I felt the adrenaline rush kick in as I started to write my body paragraph. I craved the euphoria that I felt as I wrote my essay; the pressure that overwhelmed me was simultaneously fuel to my mind.…
