Journal on '' Living under Circe's Spell''

This articles starts with a really catchy quote:"life is brief, time's a thief". The narration tells the acnedote of this man who suffers multiple sclerosis, and describes how has it been. For example he mentioned that when he was younger he used to play sports and was really athletic and even use avoid people that were in wheelchair. The author describes that at the beginning he used a cane , then crutches, and eventually a wheelchair; but he was in denial, he thought he would become a disable athletic, that he could still go to olympics for disables but things didn't go that way. Is even depressing how he mentiones that he feels he had lost his manhood because as he mentioned " the very act of sitting implies demotion", for him a man had to stand up for things. At the end as in the beginning he is still waiting for someone that can rescue him from the ground " waiting". I like the way the author describes the cycles he went through and use a cronological order.

English Club presentation

In the presentation we had differents speakers. The presidents gave a great speech I actually learned that we are the pirates , it was a good laugh. Our professor Calderin recite a really nice poem. The band presented and they were pretty cool. The Rap section was intersting even though we couldn't heard it really good. We had good performance like the one of Will Brown and Esquilo Preto. I met the club members. The club Spensor gave speechers and they gave her trophy for all her support she was really touched with they action and showed it. In general the presentatio was great a little long for my taste but it was good, we heard a good jazz, rap and other music and we were introduced to many people I didn't know.

Journal on ''The daughter''

I think this is a great reading because it narrates the feeling of a young woman that feel the pressuare of being the daughter of two immigrants. She tell how she feel , because her parents have being in this country for thirty years and she is an American, but does not feel like one. She feel she does not belongs here or there. In the reading she narrates how she goes to this place an they ask her name and she doen't know what to say, because she doen'st know how to say her name in japanese. She looks at the future and notices that is unceratin because she would have to marry a japanese man, and at school she has always felt that she doesn't belong , she treats evryone the same, but they don't treat her well.
