Strong Independent Thesis who don't need no man

As of lately in English we have been studying thesis statements. I know that would be an obvious statement but I can never come up with a good first sentence. Three of the outside reading books I have read are The Sniper, Hills like White Elephants, and The Return. In these stories I think that my best bet for making a good thesis would be on the story Hills like White Elephants for no reason in particular. I just feel as if I could connect better to the story as a whole. The only good thesis statement I could possibly come up with for The Sniper is just something really stupid like determining if the sniper had wanted his brother dead or not. In my opinion I think that that is horrible so that's why I'm going with Hills like White Elephants.

Things I have noticed in this story that stand out from other stories is there are no nouns or a direct conflict. The whole book is written out using pronouns like he and she and they never necessarily say what is actually going on. According to Dr.D the conflict was something about the girl being pregnant however I think that that could be wrong. During my first read through of this book I came up with the conclusion that they must of been crossing their countries border to go to freedom which would be a much more supported conflict due to the amount of alcohol being consumed which is horrible if you're having a baby. It also explains why they were packing their bags and heading on train and how most of the drinks they had were of Spanish descent.

I just had come up with a new statement involving both of the conflicts listed. Maybe the girl could of been pregnant but was coming to another country to have a baby just for having citizenship. She could obviously care less for a baby if she was simply using it to gain citizenship which gave her an excuse to drink alcohol and would explain why it was only two people because they were the parents. The two of the main characters could be drinking as a way of saying farewell to their homeland simply trying to enjoy the very few seconds they would have left. More evidence can be backed up from a small argument between the two. The girl being the mother was saying they could start a happy new life but the boy being nervous and hopeless about being a father was on denial that their life would change and it would get worse. However considering they are in Barcelona I also believe this may be during a war as well but that is just a side thought and probably has no relevance to everything else I am saying.

The Evaluation of Participation

General Procedures:
    I would say that of recent events I am more of a person of actually being ready for class although I have always had a pen, place to keep handed out papers, and paper to write on.
Lecture, Announcement,  Whole Class Discussion:
   Note taking is a thing I have not been very active on this year (if not ever). I'm always listening just not usually in a manner as someone who takes obsessive notes is. I wouldn't say I ever really do much contributing to class discussion unlike in middle school when all I would do is talk 24/7 and most likely distract everyones attention. Also, I do use computers appropriately in the rare occasion I have one in use during class.
Individual and Group Work:
   For me, individual work is greatly preferred over group work mostly because it doesn't require me to write what I don't believe on paper simply because it was the greater vote of the group. I do stay focused although I also don't commonly interfere with others with my arguments.
Growth:
   Something I should change for this next upcoming 9 weeks should be probably just my work at home. Email and online assignments is something I still have to catch up on. Other than that I don't think I'm really doing anything erroneous or other such fancy words. I'm horrible at remembering things now for some reason. No matter how many times I'm told something I always end up somewhere else losing all track of thought revolving around the subject of what needed to be done. I just need to do my homework but I fall asleep too much. I don't know what I can do to change this. Maybe write some stuff on my hand.

Reading Response BUT with amazing plot structure

Unfortunately currently I am not reading any book with a certain plot in particular so I suppose I wil base this off a book I have read in the past. A nice book I've read is Mr.Popper's Penguins in third grade. I can't quite remember it totally but I will try my hardest to remember so it may just add more of my confusion to this blog which is never a bad thing. It's more like having a cleft chin, it just makes it special. 

So in Poppers Penguins we start off with living the simple life of a house painter but it grows up to more than just living in the everyday life of Mr.Popper. It soon grows to Mr.Popper not only gaining intrest in the Arctic but in fact buying his own penguin. May I say, Mr.Popper had put himself in one sticky situation when that penguin laid eggs. Off course Mr.Popper being the responsible man he is he didn't just turn on the stove and have a nice breakfast but he had decided to take care of the penguins because as his father told him "Any boy can have a baby (penguin) but it takes a man to take care of him" which is very wise of him.

Later on in this story the big events start to happen which, you probably didn't guess it, the penguins get involved in show business. But here's where this all falls down to mush. Mr.Popper goes to jail for reasons unrememberable to me. Then he escapes prison and this is one major part in the story! The downfall ending begins when Mr.Popper returns the penguins to the Arctic and ignoring his fathers advice but he said "They are old enough to live on their own anyway." In the ending most of the children start to cry because that is like humane animal abuse to children. Just abandoning those poor penguins. I have lost much respect in you Mr.Popper. Much respect indeed.

The Present is the Tomorrow of Yesterday Where Your Troubles Are So Far From

For this assignments, I was asked to complete the sentence "I am a writer who...". That seems easy enough. My answer would have to be that I am a writer who changes drastically as the week goes on. By that I mean, if I write something one night the morning I wake up I will have a totally different feel about what I was writing about. Later in the day I may find even a different view on certain things. Does this happen to everybody? It would be of no surprise to me if I was bipolar. I just laughed at my own joke. You might not of but this is my enjoyment time.

Me and a friend of mine Chris actually had a conversation today about why great writers sometimes commit suicide and he said it was because they read their first song. Which I thought was a pretty good joke but you got to be a writer to get it. Chris is a whole lot different of a writer than me though. He's the kind of person who likes to read romantic love novels and watch girly anime shows. I only do one of those two things but I am getting off topic by now. The main thing I'm trying to put out here is that I will write different at different times. That and I love to watch K-on. It's not something I can keep to myself. It's the most kawaii thing you will ever see.
