Labor journal 1

My first week back at school has been interesting. It has not been the best week to be honest. First day of school I came early to try and find free parking and make it to class. Little did I know it was the fourth Monday of the month. So I parked and when I went back to move my car I received a ticket. It kind of just ruined my day and my week and I still have to pay the ticket. The next few days have kind of been a blur. My paranoia of getting another ticket has pushed me to sleepover and just find overnight parking instead of sleeping at home in San Mateo. Because I have been driving to and from San Mateo to sf late at night and waking up early to go to class I have been getting really tired. Included in all of this is the fact that I still have work. Work is not too bad but it’s just annoying to have to drive all the way back to San Mateo to work. I’m hoping to move out here next year and find a job here instead. This first week of school has just been very draining and just need a little while to Try and find a rythm that works with my commuting and work and school schedules. I hope I can find it soon because I’m just really tired.

Email: Thank you for the response. I feel that the feedback is accurate. I have now realized that I completely forgot the works cited page as well as a 4th source and this was a mishap on my side. I plan to add the 4th source and a works cited page before I post it on my portfolio. I think that the book club this semester is very good. I enjoy my book. The only complaints I would have is that it seemed a little bit rushed for some reason but it might just be because we are doing it during the latter half of the semester rather than the first half. Questions I have for essay 3 is how long it would be, whether or not it should be longer or shorter than our previous essays and it seems like we have much less time to work on it. But I am ok with that. I am interested to know what the prompt for the essay is and how we will write it.

book club response 3

How does your author's personal life relate to larger social issues?  Is that an essential part of a powerful narrative?  Why or why not? My authors personal life relates to larger social issues because his life was surrounded by poverty and the issue of identity. The ideas that Trevor Noah puts forth are all very relevant to our social issues today. Many people have a problem finding their own identity and understanding who they are and it is exemplified in the book when Trevor describes his childhood and his life and how his race has affected who he is. I believe that the ideas that stem from his personal life and connect to larger social issues are all very essential to the narrative and move the story forward with good development and pacing.
