Mr.Neufeld's english 10 class has been a lot of fun but over whelming at times.We are doing this class all on our electronics but it takes a lot of work for that to happen.For the first week or so of this class it was very hard and confusing, we had a lot of problems with the computers and the wifi so it took us a while to be where we are right now. I'm not good with electronics, so I don't help out with that in the classroom. If I ever a problem with my comnputer I always go to Aisha or Abhishek, they always know what to do. I'll admit I can work on my attendance/lates in this class. At the end of fourth I always go to my locker, get what I need and talk to people for a bit. As I'm walking down the halls I also get very distracted with all of my friends who don't have fifth block so I always stop and talk to them. But when I am late I come into class without disturbing everyone and get right to work. I can work on that and talk less or take what I need for this class to my fourth block class. My effort in class I think is pretty good. I am a very talkitive and enthusiastic person, but when I need to, I can get my work done. I think I contribute to this class by answering a lot of the questions that the teacher throws at us. I don't really look up videos on youtube or stuff like that then post it on the wiki to help out everyone else because I don't know how to do that. You can always catch me talking and envolving the people around me. This class is very close, we all like to work together. The guys love when the girls answer all the questions for them. We have done a few essays but my favorite one that we did was the creative story. I love to write creative stories because I can be very creative. The story that I wrote was called "Always Check To See If You Shut Your Windows." This was our first essay that we wrote. My favorite thing about this story was how it was so mysterious and you didn't know what was going to happen next. Another essay we wrote was us connecting to three poems that we read in class and commented on. I connected to the poem called "To A Stranger" by Walt Widham. MY favorite line that I wrote in that poem would have to be " I have surely somewhere lived a life with joy with you." Even though it was from the first poem it spoke to me the most. In class I like to procastinate and hold off things until the end. I get it done but sometimes the night before it's due or the last minute. That is something I need to work on throughout this course. Overall, this class is quite different from my other classes and I have to get use to it. I like the idea of using computers it saves a lot of time and you can go on the website and go back and fix your mistakes whenever you want to.

Essay

Relationships. Everybody has a different opinion on relationships, there's healthy and unhealthy. In the poem "how is your heart" by Charles Bukowski he talks about the unhealthy kind ,and how your life at home is bad, you feel ugly and unwanted wherever you are. I can't say that I can relate to him, but I'm sure some of you can. Unentilted by Jenifer L'Hirondelle,I feel this poem is sharing her love towards her son ,I also can't relate to this because I don't have a child. The poem that spoke to me the most was “To a stranger" by Walt Whitman. When I read this poem I thought of a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship and how they were together for a long period of time, they mean everything to each other, there in love everything goes well, then out of nowhere they brake up and there strangers..? Yes, this probably happened to a few of you but I can talk about this through experience. You guys spend as much time as you can together text/call all the time have your inside jokes, you think everything is going perfectly then the day you never want to happen, happened. You guys are strangers now. No more goodnight calls, kissing, morning texts that say "morning beautiful<3" no passing each other in the halls on your way to class saying hey, or your having a bad day and just seeing them smile or knowing you have them turns your whole day around. You guys avoid each other. One talks behind your back, you don't even look at each other anymore, no texts/calls absolutely nothing. You guys are strangers. You feel like you’re nothing to him, like none of the time being together meant something. Were strangers now? Looking at that person all the memories come rushing back, and you think to yourself I have surely somewhere lived a life of joy with you.
