fall semester final essay prompt

They use ethos, pathos, and logos in their each creative way that catches the readers attention. They use ethos for the credibility for trust so the readers can trust the author and what they have to say. Then pathos for emotions of the readers to get them attach to feel what the author wants them to feel and imagine to use their imagination. Lastly logos to use logic to back up their work and give them reasons to trust them consistency. These things come to my mind when reading something, like how could I apply them and use them.

The students have intrinsic to do good in school and to help them self in life to make people help like their parents or extrinsic to prove other people wrong who doubt them. The poets show extrinsic motivation, because they are motivate by the world to shape it and point out fraud and name the unnameable are needed by the world. I'm intrinsic about sports to be the best to strive but for school I'm extrinsic for my parents to make them happy and that I'm doing good in school. Students also  want to be the best in their class so they are self motivated to make their teachers and parents happy. Or they are motivated by something out of school that they need to do good in school to be able to do what they like.

That was me being a poet and saying what I learn and know. Showing what I have learn and connecting it to my life in some little way. Also how my mind thinks when reading a book or a quoteT from an author there are all these little things to look for because they have meaning and the author chose to write that way. That is how I could put it what I have learn.

something interesting

I found out that Jimmy Santiago Baca wrote the screen play for Blood In Blood Out. It about 3 young men who are from East Los Angeles which are part of a Mexican gang and face the hardship of the life and having very little and also the death of friends and family from drugs and gang violence. Also the struggles when they went to prison and had to survive by any means. That something interesting that I found.

Like An Animal Poem by Jimmy Santiago Baca

This poem talks about how he might turn into someone the "real" him and that he scared that it a animal blood thirsty that prison has made the "real" person come out. The outside looks good compare to the inside who knows what it might be maybe a killer because he has blood on his fingernails. That prison made him think like that, because in prison there mostly killers and he is group in with them to maybe survive. So now he has become one them so he is scared now of what he might become the animal that is lock behind the bars.

Poetry Analysis: Immigrants In Our Own Land by Jimmy Santiago Baca

During class our journal topic was what if all these things happen to us like we couldn't read or write and we had poison rattlesnake blood and we went to jail for drug possession. That sounds crazy already, however that did actually happen and that was Jimmy Santiago Baca who went through all that. He learn how to read and write and ended up writing poems and his poem Immigrants In Our Land which never made it seem like he never knew how to read or write. The poem was serious talking about the immigrants struggle coming to a country and how they had to go through all these things which was changing them into the "new world" custom the country they are going to and leaving their "old world" behind so their country leaving behind their customs. Also talking about the hardships that they all have to go through and them being categorize already into what they are and I like the poem because it didn't really say nice things like it said all the real things that actually happen that sound and are bad. I like the poem, because some people could relate to him and the things that he wrote about may have happen to them. He had similes and metaphors in his poems that were use really well and the imagery to was good that we could actually picture what he is talking about.
