Reading stratigies

Reading stratiges strait up suck. I am terrible at most english evaluation things so its not in my area of expertice. I have to read an article and say that its about and I can't do that. I don't comprehend things when it comes to mixed messages and why people say what they do. For my assinment I know that I will not do well for the paper because even when I knew what I was talking about in my last paper I still only got a C+.

Analysing

I don't like to analyse text. Im not the best person at it. Analysing papers is something that people do when their critics, I am not one of them. I am terrible with words, and can't wright about peoples papers because most the time I have no idea what I am talking about. When theres something I do know about I normally don't know what to say because I don't really care for telling someone what the papers about.

Editing my terrible paper

I had to go through and edit my papers for english about 7 times before I finally got it right. I went and went through spell check and had my room mate look at my paper. Editing and proofreading are not some of my strong points. I could comprehend and read really well, but when it comes to actually wighting the paper or words I suck. It goes the same way when I try to help proofread someone else's paper I just suck.

Revising

Reading your own paper there are few mistakes most people see when they look at there own papers. I know this for a fact, my papers are HORRIBLE!!! My group knows that. When it came down to it, it was sorta hard to let them see my paper just because I knew they would find so much wrong with it. I read their papers and I couldn't find but one mistake when my paper was covered in scribles =P. Well this part of the blog is about that I read that letting people revise your work could help you in so many ways. I know that it helps me because, honestly the people who helped me made my paper a little longer so yay! It helps to put in the little details in your paper so people know what your talking about instead of them just stumbling through your paper. Act as if they are someone who knows nothing about you.

There is a story called Mother Tongue by Amy Tan. Its about a women taking about how she grew up wighting with a type of people with strange English. People described as broken English and had trouble getting the same services Americans did.

Blah Reading....

I am not much of a reader or wrigter if you can tell. This part of the book was about wrighting and why people wright. It tells about speaking diffrent also.
The part of the book about the spanish teacher confused me a bit. I wasn't sure if she was mad at the students or just irritated becuase they didn't want to be there, but I don't know I have always been bad at preciving the point of books or poems. She would talk about how the kids looked at her with a obsidien look in there eye I had no clue what she was talking about.
The story about the girl living there as a little girl confused me also I don't understand hidden meaning very well. =P
