Mint Snowball




     I could appreciate that Mint Snowball was very well written even though it wasn't my favorite thing to read. The narrative described a longing for something that the wrier had never had but yet so deeply desired. She describes the way it made her family feel and the way the rest of the town reacted to the special recipe of the mint snowball. She wants to taste this mint snowball so bad and she feels like she can't be complete until she has it.


     Almost anyone can appreciate how well written this narrative was. It went over the background of the mint snowball, then it described the action, and then it describes her ideas on the events. Her word choice made the entire story flavor-filled. She was very descriptive on her emotions while describing what she thought about the whole thing. This narrative was very well written and almost picture-perfect.

    The way you described the narrative was great! I liked how you found positive aspects of the story even though it wasn't your favorite.

strengths and weaknesses

I think that one of my strengths is providing vivid imagery for the reader.  I think I have also gotten a lot better at analyzing different aspects of literature. I think that I have gotten better at this mostly due to Purple Hibiscus work but also due to the literary analysis we wrote on LOTF. I thought that I got a lot better at analyzing especially diction. I got better at thinking about why and how an author would use a certain word in a sentence and what affect that would create. I think my biggest weakness in writing so far is my diction. I do not have the best word choice and it makes my writing sound bad. One of my other weaknesses is my bad transitional phrases. It makes my writing sound kind of choppy and hard to follow. I will work on this by practicing them in casual forms of writing such as short blog posts just to gain experience.

One of my favorite speakers during launch day was Erin. I thought the way that she presented was very engaging and interactive. It was a new twist that I found to be very cool and innovative. I liked the way that she did not try to force us to believe in her opinion but instead presented the facts and the arguments for both and left it up to us to form our own educated opinion. I thought the arguments sounded well made for both and I had already had my own opinion on the issue and the debate was still very entertaining. I also enjoyed Graham Frazier's presentation on the affect a powerful opinion can have on marketing and more specifically the Stockmarket. He explained what exactly the stock market was as it can be a point of confusion for many people. Then he gave us examples of how the stock market has changed based on the opinion of popular businessmen or other important people. I overall thought launch day was very interesting.

March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while. This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.
