Ella..

Well, i finally finished that Ella book. I enjoyed it, it was pretty interesting. It only took me 3 days to read that book!! I'm surprised it was that at the most. I thought it was going to take me longer than that because at first the book was very boring. As i kept reading their letters at the end it started to get hard to read. I was like "what did they just say". But i started to get the hang of it. I'm glad that Ella had came up with a sentence because their language started to get ridiculous! Ella remained strong throughout the novel. It was a pretty good book.

Tutoring today

Well today we had got another tutee! This is our third person we had! She actually in English 1010 but she came there for her sociology paper. Basically, she came there for grammar errors. She said she know that her structure is correct, which was true. Her paper was actually good, she just had minor grammar errors . So far, out of all the papers we looked at she had the best one and it was interesting. Since, we had finished early she asked us did we have more time so we can help her with a short paper. For that paper she just wanted us to check for grammar errors, which was not a problem. Today tutoring was not that bad! she was kind of weird though.

p.s. i am enjoying this beautiful weather

Ella

I read more of Ella. It is getting very interesting. That man Nate was sent away and of course Tassie gets sad. Ella's father is an alcoholic! This is like the second story we read in class that includes somebody being an alcoholic. He eventually gets banished from the island because of his slip-ups too! My memory is not clear but i think Ella's mother is sent away because of her slip-ups. Also, Tassie gets into trouble with the council because of the death threats she made to them. However, Nate comes back and rescue Tassie. I believe that Tassie, her mother, and, Nate travels to the states to escape that crazy town they are in. The book is getting very interesting!

tutoring today...

Today tutoring was very slow. Nobody came in for none of the tutors. So to use my time wisely i just started to do some biology work. It is a good idea to bring homework in when you have to tutor because you may not have a tutee. Anyways, we have a group assignment to do and i decided to do Psychological criticism. We are doing the critcisms off a movie called "Boys don't Cry". I had watched the movie over spring break. It is a very good movie. It's about a girl who decided to dress like a boy because she liked another girl. I guess where she from being gay is not acceptable. It was very sad at the end. Once they found she was a girl the beat her, raped her, and then killed her. However, the two men was sent to jail for doing that.

Back from Spring Break

Well, it's so sad to say but spring break is over!!! Now we have to get back to work, which suck!! Well over the break i was reading Ella Minnow Pea. At first, it was very boring and i hated it then it started to get better! It seems very interesting. What kind of stuff is that ? They can not use words that contain certain letters of the alphabet. I would truly hate that town or wherever they are at. That just seems so unfair and stupid. If they use a word that contains a letter that is not suppose to be used in their vocabulary they are sent away. I believe they have three strikes. Also, they are going to be reading some people's letters which is not fair and wrong. They town suck!

The reading assignment...

Last week for homework we had to read "Don't Delve too Deeply". Honestly, I have to say that this story was actually good! It was not boring. In fact, i liked it a lot! It was kind of funny! That man was so clueless about why his wife left him! LOL. It was pretty obvious that she left him because he was too clingy! He was also there by her side! A woman NEEDS her space!!! Even when she would go to the bathroom he would want to go! If that is not weird i don't know what is!! His father and his wife mother knew why she left him! That is why his father said "don't delve too deeply and leave it alone"! However, i do not see anything wrong with a man who loves to cook! But he always want to do it! He liked to do a lot of women things! He was kind of weird but i still enjoyed reading the story.

Tutoring Today!!!

Today, tutoring was not bad at all ! It was actually fun! LOL . We had another tutee today! This time it was a male. He was a sophomore. He was not in there for his English class he was in there for his Art class. He had an 8 page paper. Basically, he came in there just for us to make sure his paper was organize, his structure was correct, and to check for a few grammar errors. Honestly, i have to say that his paper was very good! His content, structure, organization,etc was excellent. However, he needs to work on his grammar. Other than that his paper was just fine! I'm glad his paper was not terrible!!! He was a very nice young man!
