Life

Let's see here as most of you it's our fist time blogging which seems almost close to Facebook. Which this seems really interesting to get to know everybody and what they are all about. I'm a person who like to talk talk talk, but I try to make a new friend everywhere I go. Life is a short haul sometimes but a very interesting one as well. I try to live life to it's fullest and just be greatful for everyday and every breathe you are given. I live in a small town here in Texas that doesn't even have a zipcode! It's really nice no loud neighboors the closest things to you are the wildlife and of course your livestock. I believe it's a great way to raise kids although I don't have any hopefully in the near future. Texas is a great state to live in the only one I've lived in, but have been to a lot of the states on the east coast and only Colorado on the west side of the states. I want to travel all over I think that will be a great way to learn different cultures. Especially being able to go to Italy where my Great Grandma and Great Granpa came from. I hope everyone enjoys this class and hopefully one day maybe we can be famous bloggers haha.. have a great day!!

1st Blog Assignment

Blog Unit 1
            Dying metaphors help bring a visual image that can be used without loss of the phrases.
            Using different words in order to make your statement clearer for people to understand.
            In my Unit 1 essay paper I plan on using his rules especially on making sure by where a long word is a short one will do just as good as well as cutting out sentences.
            Orwell’s argument against the English language is somewhat where he is trying to make people adapt back to the basics of the English language. Now they are just adding things that don’t make any sense. So he admits he’s guilty himself of doing this as well but still trying to prove his point and help people in their writing abilities.
            Orwell’s argument did persuade me into his way of thinking because sometime when I actually listen to myself talk or think about what I just said I’m wondering where in the world did that come from? It doesn’t make any sense! So with his words of wisdom I will try my best to shorten sentences and try to use short words instead of long words that I’m going to have to look up in the dictionary to find out exactly what they mean. Just a few simple changes like that can make a world of difference on an essay I believe. He did a great job of explaining the terminology of the English language.
