Letter From Mom Reflection

JOURNAL ENTRY #1: REFLECTIONS ON PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS             The piece is all about a letter from a mother to her child. She said there how much she loves her daughter and explained things that her child might misunderstand for she is just about to start her life. She is also concerned about how her child will react to things that are not in line with what she is expecting for she loves her child a lot and can't handle the pain if her child is hurt. The mother emphasized that she is not just a friend to her but someone that understands her no matter what happens.              As I was reading the text, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I just realized a lot of things. I can feel the mother's love for her child because of the way she acts, it is also how my mother acts. I can't say that I am a good daughter because sometimes, I can answer my mom with an angry and loud voice every time I am pissed but God knows how...

KNOWLEDGE BEYOND MISTAKES: A Critique Paper

KNOWLEDGE BEYOND MISTAKES             In writing an academic written text, the writer must follow the properties. Ideas are the focal point of writing and these are the heart of the message, the content of the piece, and the main theme, together with the details that enrich and develop that they should be developed when a clear statement of purpose is present, position, facts, examples, specific details, definitions, explanation, justifications, or opposing viewpoints and must be logically arranged. The conversation is structured. The level of formality of the text is measured through the language use and choice of words which means you have to use appropriate words and vocabulary usage.

FLIP GOTHIC REFLECTION

                    Filipino's Great Culture                                       What makes us Filipino? What made us different from other races?             From the story written by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard, there is a big difference between American teenagers from Filipino teenagers. American teenagers are very rebellious, there are piercing their tongues, they dye their hair blue or violet for fun, they don't respect elders, especially their parents, and they don't value education. They just want to hang out with friends and do some vices. They dressed up liberated and don't give any fuck. And that is the reason why Nella sent his daughter to the Philippines so that she will be guided by her mother. When Arminda arrived in the Philippines specifically at Uber, her grandmother had difficulty with how Armind...

REFLECTION ABOUT THE SKELETON WOMAN

The Skeleton Woman: A Great Story             The Skeleton Woman is a story of a fisherman who accidentally brought the skeleton of a woman from beneath the sea to his skinny house. After I read the story first, it made me confused and wonder what was really the message behind it. I have read it three times before an idea came into my mind.             For me, the message was the essence of being alive. It is all about the importance of life and love. When the skeleton woman saw the fisherman crying while sleeping, it is when the skeleton woman felt how painful the life of a fisherman was. He knew that the fisherman suffered a lot. The fisherman cried maybe because he dreamed something that happened to him before he felt alone and had nothing to eat. As she drink the tears of the fisherman, the thirst she was feeling for a long time slowly vanished and the fisherman did not notice what the skeleton woman did. I think this...
