Tabria: Beyond Class Activity- What's Funny About School?

On November 19, 2013, I went to go see a comedy show that featured three African American comics named Joe Torry, Arvin Mitchell, and Alex Scott. It lasted about two hours. Of course since it was a comedy show, they based most of their jokes on the college life and making fun of campus living. What I wanted to know was, what was their reason for making fun of college, why is campus living funny? The last guy Alex Scott, asked each person in the audience about their major and where they lived, only to make a joke about it. Some people think that college life is funny and a waste of time, but what they don't know is that it's totally worth it, when looking for a job. If a person is currently in college or has a college degree, it looks better on a resume'. If someone went to prestigious college or university that really looks good too. People say all around that college isn't for everyone, but everyone has a talent deep within them.

TSA: Essay #3

Essay three was very different than the others. This time we get to choose our own topic. I chose to use the story, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven." The actual topic I'm comparing the story to is sleep disorder. I felt that sleep disorder compares to it exactly. The protagonist has in fact expressed sleep problems/sleep disorders. We all know relationships have their problems, but why does the character experience bad dreams? Is his sleep being affected by his relationship or is his dreams trying to tell him something? This is how I came up to use sleep disorder as the main topic; he is losing sleep because of his violent and horrible dreams.

Tabria A: Elizabeth Bishop's Fish

Fish written by Elizabeth Bishop, who actually became an inspired poet since she was young. This particular poem reflected on survival and sympathy. The fish as a survivor symbolizes strength. His sympathy for the fish was some what strong; seeing the fish's weak expression. Somehow there was a line that was broken, and the fish attempted to get away from that. The fisherman realized that the fish wanted to get away, when he hesitated and eventually the fish escaped from the line. A sudden rainbow appeared and the fisherman realized that the rainbow might of symbolized the fish escaping from his problems or maybe the fish's life will end in another certain way.
