I am responding to the story Angela’s Ashes is a Pulitzer-Prize winning memoir written by Frank McCourt. The struggles he and his family went through while living in poverty-stricken Ireland is a very sad thing to go through but him and his family want through it. I like this story very much because easy to see that the McCourt’s are poorer than most of the other local families. Also, children can be very harsh sometimes and tease about others that are less fortunate. In this particular chapter of Angela’s Ashes the author is still a child and that is made evident through his writing. He asks his parents questions about life and is curious about adult life, or as he calls them, “Big People”. He really wants to know was going on in life. He is also a very smart child to me. He was carouse about knowing a lot of things. I think this was a very successful and best-selling memoir that I have read. I feel like Frank McCourt wins over the audience because he is a helpless child while living in very poor conditions in Ireland. And people are curious to know about thing like that and what’s going to happened next. So I think he did a very great job. What is also interesting is that their family used to live in Brooklyn, New York before moving to Ireland

ASSIGNMENT #6
i wrote about one of my favorite club that i love to go to. As we are walking we see so many people walking, you see different fashion. Boys dressed the way they want and girls dressed the way they want to. And once you’re done with them they let you in and you see different light going off and on, entertainment venue which usually operates late into the DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded. Music is very loud and people jumping around and yelling across the room. You see the D.J on one side, a bar on the other side. Also what’s amazing about the place is that they have four floors with different activities going on different music each floor. One floor has reggae music, another floor with techno music, another hip hop and another one is call what you hear on the radio. You also se different cultures around the club, people from another culture talking to somebody from another culture. You see different color of light circling around the room. these where the amazing thought about the club. i wrote about the club because it looked very different compare to the other one's i attend.

assignment #2
The short story am writing about is “Inherit the earth/The Things They Carried the short is talking about immigrant crossing the Mexico border what they go throw when they are trying to crossing the border. People die while they are trying to cross the Mexico border. The people that cross the border they take a lot of unnecessary things with them fake ticket also they take fake ticket with them. Example from the text “to speak of an immigrant’s plight only in term of desperations fails to honor his or her full humanity”. What this statement is saying is that lot of immigrant is very desperate to cross the border and they die from all the heat that they have to go through to cross. So people are willing to take any risk just to get where they want to get to. Immigrants go through a lot something I think should be done about that. Also as describe in the short story “humane boarder provides water to address the immediate emergency, but its ultimate goal is, with other groups, to force changes in U.S. immigration policy-to “take death out of the migration equation, “as Hoover puts. Immigrate really wants the U.S. to come up with something for them to be able to cross the borders without any trouble. They want thing to be easier for them. Also immigrate want the death do be cut down people should not die just because they are trying to get across the border. I thing the story was original. I really like this story because is telling us want immigrate go through when they are trying to cross the Mexico border.

assignment #3
What inspired me to write this non-fiction story is because i was able express my feelings and I was very happy to say what I wanted to say. I love to think back about things that happened to me in the past and putting the words in a short story into paper felt like something good really is happening to me. My title of my story is "keep out of trouble and I don't like trouble". When any one is reading my story you can understand what is talking about. Also anyone that read my short story will get my point of view. Also anyone will understand what my points of view are. When i was writing the only people I had in mind were the people I was talking about in the story. Some reason I had my little sister in mind. I was thinking about time she almost got me in trouble by parent but I did not right about that in my short story I wrote about other people that tried to get me in trouble. Yes I wrote a short story before but normally when I write a short story I tend to write about was going on in my life. I was so proud of myself because I wrote about something different something that really happened to me and I didn’t like. Also writing a non-fiction story to me is very real. Is about you telling the facts and what actually happened and is very different from poetry essays because those can being made up and it don’t have to be the real facts. So that is why I think writing a non- fiction story is very easy because you writhing what happen to you in real life. So my experience writing a nonfiction story is lovely.
