My Opinion Story

      School Shootings are happening lately and they have to be stopped. Guns are not a good solution for violence, abuse or harassment, making it worse is not an option. A school shooting took place in Parkland Florida on February 14, 2018, with 17 number of deaths and students injured mentally. Our President, Donald Trump wants everyone to be armed and ready for anything.      If Donald Trump wants every school and their staff to carry guns then they should make it a military school, that's not what people want. Trump has his own say, he's the president right, "  Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A “gun free” school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END! Attacks would end but it would be less safer for the kids and the parents would not want their kids to be around guns. Being safe is something that everyone struggles with these days an...

Personal Essays

1. "  ...winning a scholarship or finding the first spring bulb in your garden, make the frame wide enough to allow your reader to find parallels between your experience and theirs. " Like make them not relate to my story making them think that they have to explore and go through the same experience  2. "  Avoid using abstract expressions and phrases such as “the best day of my life”, “my happiest moment as a parent”, “I’d never known greater grief” to describe emotions of love, loss, anger, joy, satisfaction, etc." I really suck at being specific and using vague words, have to like use a dictionary. 3.  1. Make connections. If you’re writing about a global theme (poverty, unemployment, child abuse) bring the subject closer to home by relating it to specific, individual examples 2.  Check names, spellings, numbers. Two sources of confirmation are better than one. 3.  Watch your construction. If every sentence begins “I”, you need to rephrase to p...

Architecture Preview #1

1. This is La Pedrera and it was made in spain  and the building started in   1906 and was completed four years later.  This building was made by  architect Antoni Gaudí, this is not a private building you can go visit it, by tickets and everything. The architect  Gaudí , was hired by a man to  build their house .  I picked this building because it  sounded   interesting and I like Spain, I have never been to Spain but one day I would like to go. Spain is so different than other places, they have stuff in Spain, they do beautiful stuff, and it so amazing that is so different. 2. This building is a little different than the others, looks a little weird but maybe fun to be in. This is the Nautilus House in Mexico and the  shell shaped house was designed by Mexican architect  Javier Senosiain. Javier had  the idea that buildings based tradition and cultural r...

Sensory Overload

"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said. I believe this statement is true, everyone buys or places objects around them that they want to be around. Everyone likes and has to feel comfortable with what they are around and also feel safe. This makes me feel like my photography is actually me because when i take pics I don't place objects so they can come up on the photo, I just take them how it shows when it's not on camera. When I was looking through the images i did want to go there and see it myself and take pictures because it shows their environment and how they live and how they make something out of their lives. If I was a child working in any of these places , I would actually not hate it because they a...
