Literature Analysis #3

The Tent by: Gary paulsen


This book is about a father being very sick of being poor. He cant stand just scraping by day to day. One day he comes up with the idea to start to preach. He figures that he will get money for preaching religous things at people and it will make him rich in the process. Throughout the book steve ( his son) starts to notice that it is wrong  to preach the word about god when you have never been to church, let a lone never reading the bible.This is what the story is about.

The theme of this bok in my opinion would be, "you should be happy with what you got and who you have". and you probably shouldnt start any fake church's. Steven is pretty skeptical about the whole church thing. In the begining of the book he even says to his father "I don't think it's that bad." Steven doesnt really care about money, just being together with his dad.

The authors tone is pretty sympathetic about the situation of being poor. "And it had stayed bad until this evening, when he listened to his father go futher down that he'd ever heard." "Then the factory had closed and gone to another country-- Steven thought mexico-- and even his father, who had been a foreman of a whole shift, was terminated" " We live in a ten-year-old rented trailer in a trailer park,". yeah throughout the story it is pretty sympathetic.

"I'm sick of being poor" This is an example of indirect characterization. "no not illegal at all. We're going to help people." this is another example of indirect characterization. Steven is a 14 year old boy. this is an example of direct characterization. Him going along with his fathers plans is another example of direct characterization.

There arent any changes in his tone when he talks about the characters. they basically will stay the same. I didnt notice anything different through out the book.

The protagonist is a pretty round character. He realises that all the things him and his dad are doing are bad. He was just happy with him and his dad just living in there trailer at the trailer park. he didnt mind not having a lot but he was happy to have his father. (his mother had left because she was tired of living that way)

I feel like i have come out meeting a person only because i know a few people in that kind of situation so its easy to understand his feelings and his dads feelings. The situation being that they are poor and need money. "Steven shrugged. " I don't think it's that bad"" Steven doesn't care that they are poor. he just wants to be with his dad.

THIS IS ONLY A TEST

for my test i decided it to be on how i can become a veterinarian. I found out that you have to have your animal science degree from college, intern for about 2 years, and then you have to take a test from an national orginazation. if you pass these then you can become a veterinarian.

IS THERE AN EXPERT IN THE HOUSE

Hopefully if an expert does visit my blog that they will be able to give me some helpful advice about what i should be doing to be on the right track to becoming a veterinarian. They would hopefully give me some way of contacting them so that i can get full feedback on everything i have done and any advice for good topics to write about. So if there is an expert out there. please give me some feedback.

Benchmark Project

Benchmark Project

I have decided that for the masterpiece project that i would do it on what i am most passionate for at the current moment. At the current moment i am most passionate about becoming a veterinarian as my professional career. To me this has been a passion of mine for quite a few years. I first wanted to become a veterinarian when i was just a kid. It sounded really cool to be a doctor for animals. I didn't really like the idea of being a doctor for people. So i went with animals because i prefered animals a little more than people. So i really liked the idea of using this for my masterpiece project.

I have been using all the information gathering skills that we have learned and it has made my work a little easier. also some of the office skills that we have learned like writing and creating public networks have become pretty useful too. I hope that any other skills we may learn down the road will be very useful. I want to be the best at my career that i can and i believe that through this class i will be able to achieve it in a satisfactory manner.

For me not to feel like i have regret about the school year, i think that i am gonna need to put my name out there more and i am gonna need to start communicating with more experts in my field of study. If i can do this, i believe that i will open up more doors than i already have available to me. If i can do this, it will make my job a lot easier.

I think that through all the skills we have learned through the course of this class and the determination to succeed in our certain passions we will show the audience that we have the critical thinking skills to excel in our certain fields of study.

I can further my education into the field of study that i have chosen, which is study of veterinary science. I believe that if i can keep in contact with professionals and keep a closed mindset i can accomplish this goal and move it past what-if.

For some of the experts that i would like in my network would be the veterinarians that go to moorpark college as professors. If i can keep in touch with them i believe i will be making a big step forward. If i am lucky i might get some help from them. This can improve chances for me to become a veterinarian by an immeasurable amount.
