Short Stories Analysis

For my Free short stories I chose to read Araby by by James Joyce,Sucker by Carson McCullers, and The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty. I chose to read these three short stories because they all had interesting one word titles. In each story, the main character starts off pretty good but as they continue in the story, something goes wrong, contributing to the eventual down fall of the character.
  For my Literary analysis, I think I am going to analyze Araby for setting because there is a lot of hidden patterns and themes that I can work with. I am very excited to begin working on my literary analysis because I haven't written something like this before, and it will be something to add to my repertoire of writing styles. No questions come to my mind about literary analysis but if any come to mind I will be sure to ask you them.

The Comfort Zone Issue

      This week we were told to write a free post. Well I had trouble coming up with a topic for this one because I haven't really done anything exciting enough to write about, I haven't read any interesting books, like Alligient in the Divergent Series, and nothing embarrassing has happened to me. So I decided to write about something really exciting.. My first Journalism publishing.
      This semester I chose to take a class called Journalism, for those of you who don't know what that class is, it is the class that publishes the school magazine, the Boulevard. About each nine weeks we have to make a publishing of our magazine. Making a magazine is a huge responsibility, you have to decide on the topic, assign people articles to write, find pictures to go with the articles, get permission to use pictures, edit all the pages and finally get approved for web-publishing. This nine weeks, we are writing the Comfort Zone Issue. While I can't tell you a lot about the articles, I can tell you it comes out this week. Including in the magazine, is a scavenger hunt, for those few lucky winners who complete the hunt first my class will bring you a meal of your choice to the class of your choice at the time of your choice. SO GET EXCITED!!
