i think that the autobiographical writing went well because i didn't encounter that many problems that i couldn't fix on my own. i wrote my essay with multiple people talking. i wrote it as if the characters such as my mom dad and cousin were talking to them selves and of course i included what they thought about me. this aspect of the writing allowed me to expand on my paper. it made my paper longer and more fulfilling, i also included a big peice of my life and a moment that definitely caused me to continue to stay on track with my life and education. i think that My essay is good but i had trouble closing it out. i had trouble finding a way to finish out my ideas without leaving anything out for one and making it seem incomplete. i like these type of essays though because it allows me to be creative. being creative is something i love doing. i hate being kind of restricted to a certain form of writing. i like to feel somewhat free. writing this essay was a fun challenge. i tried to stay as detailed as possible. i believe that this is extremely important considering autobiographical works are filled with detail that makes the work good. without details the writing wouldn't be good at all. in these type of writings u are including key moments in your life so that's why i focused on it a lot. hopefully it is good.

this essay seemed to be pretty easy on paper but it really wasn't was very very challenging i hated working on it in a way because it was making my head hurt. i found the interpretive part of the assignment hard. it was hard keeping on track to. i wrote out all my ideas to so i was thrown off by hard actually was. i loved the film though and i usually don't like documentary because they usually are boring unless it is about sports. i did my usual brainstorming process. when i wrote out my ideas i looked back over them to make sure i had everything down on paper. i also looked up extra facts on Vargas, i found Vargas very interesting simply because of the situation he put himself in. i also looked at myself as what i would do in his situation. i think that's why i liked the about the documentary as well. i also included facts about immigration codes which cause immigrants to have a very hard time getting in the United states. i feel overall i did ok i did try my best though. i feel as though establishing a thesis was difficult because it was hard to pick one. i eventually wrote my thesis on how immigration affected Vargas,which it truly did , it kept him from seeing his mother and everything. that could really mess a person up mentally and the fact that Vargas succeeded is great. he was able to find success through the dim chance that he would find success,which is another reason why i admire Jose Vargas. he never have up and that's what i rreally talked about in this project. it also allowed me to include more detail in my paper which in turn took up space in my paper which is a good thing, a great thing actually. this was where my Paper started to flow when i went back over my brainstorming process soi could include more finer detail. i look forward to ending the year on a great note by getting a grade on this project and the upcoming ones

thoughts in Documentary

i think the documentary is very good it is also well organized and very interesting. i like how it is also an emotional appeal as well because thats my favorite part of the documentary because he hasn't seen his mother in twenty years. i think this documentary has a very special meaning because they're a lot of people who are not from the usa but have been contributing to our society. they are also illegal but that doesn't mean they arent human. this is what the documentary is existing for. Jose wants to draw attention to this important cause cuz he is one of these illegal individuals, i believe that immigration laws can get ridiculous at times. this needs too change quickly because many more people can Contribute to our economy but they can't because their in a line to get in our beautiful country and that line is decades and decades long. why stop all these people from entering if they can work and pay taxes just like we do. i am also taking notes on the documentary so i can write my essay on it. this will help my Paper come along smoothly instead of tryin to remember what happened in my head, bcuz that would just be to hard ..i want to start writing it as soon as we end the documentary. i really wanted to get my thesis correct to. i really liked the part in the documentary when the dreamers were introduced. i believe in equality.that's why i liked them.

this project was a little challenging it caused me to really truly think.susan griffin is a great writer and the way she writes is kinda hard to read at times.  i kinda got a little frustrated because it made my head hurt too try to always read between the lines. i think overall this made me slightly a better writer because now since i have read her material i am now able to differentiate between material. i love how she compared herself to himmlers' family,  well compared her family to his because it allowed her writing to be more in depth which is always good. the project also was good because my writing process made it easier as well, the project was difficult therefore i went ahead and brainstormed to get my ideas into motion.i wrote out all my ideas so i  can write out my paragraphs easier. i also used my peer feedback as well. i not only used it because my grade,i used it because it had good details on what i needed to improve on. this in turn helped me to turn my paper a great piece of writing

I also like how Susan Griffin talked not only about WWII but himmler.  my paper was about how children are Affected by their parents actions. these actions and the way parents raise their children can make Thier children make certain decisions. in himmler case, his whole mission was to always show how tough he was no matter if it meant killing Somebody. i enjoyed reading about him. i really want to read more about him in the future. the project also challenged me to organize my paragraphs better too because susan Griffins writing was so complex i didn't want my ideas to be scattered everywhere throughout my paragraphs because scatterd paragraphs confuse the reader and i didn't want that. next time i think i can work on delivering a better introduction and a better conclusion because introductions are very important to a paper as well as conclusions because it gains the readers attention. conclusions are what u need to work on the most because conclusions sum the whole paper up and i need help doing that because i dont  want to seem to repetitive. i know this would make my paper seem boring and then my grade would in return decrease. i plan on going to the writing center for help on this because i need to get better at this especially if i want to major in journalism, which requires a lot of continuous writing. overall i liked my work even though there is still room for improvement, i feel like there is always room for improvement just like everything in life.
