Letter to Kat

Kat I like your essay about the bitter sweet tough love and hear my thoughts of what I think about your paper. You need to show more contexts from the book. You talk about what happens in the book but I want to hear it from the Author said of the story.  You did a great job tying in the connections from your personal experience and the character personal experience. You should be a little bit more specific because I felt like you kind of like stop after your idea but didn’t keep exploring.  Also claim it because I felt like you were getting their but didn’t uncover some of those idea’s. On the 4 page first paragraph you should of put so context from the book to make that paragraph solid. The risk you took was putting a little bit of your experience more try to balance it out.

Your paper was interesting! I felt like I was reading a book. It reminded me of nicks essay when he just gave a story rather than being blunt. Was it a true story? Who was the girl? What was going through your head when you made this. I had previewed your thesis before and it totally changed Why?

This paper “A Hidden Life in Familiar Places,” was probably the most intriguing paper I read so far. I like in the paper how you discuss how everyone has culture, but what really makes their culture is their personal background and how a person comes of age, and in all actuality how now one really knows each other’s culture if they do not take the time to understand. I like your stance in how “They Poured Fire on Us from The Sky”, expresses how risk is the main element in how someone survives, and how our way of survival is just as much as survival in the book, but only on different terms and circumstances. In how you relate your favorite song to the book makes it more captivating in realizing the epiphany of being insightful, and how a little more passion will always outweigh previous mistakes or even an stuck up arrogant personality. Your storytelling made it feel like I was reading a novel, especially in the intro and conclusion. I think I can agree with you about how sometimes with people, including myself, are sometimes consumed in ourselves and cannot remember the important issues that help us understand culture to better situations. In understanding your paper I would say, even when people can or can’t figure out our culture, it’s important to open up then criticize. Good paper.

Scotty VS. DBZ?

Letter to Scotty



I really found it interesting to have a chance to read your paper because of the vivid images that you wrote in the book. First off how you made the clear connection to DBZ, do you remember the battle between Goku and Frieza? And remember when Goku went super sayian? Everyone at my school the next day was hyped over that episode on Toonami at around like 4pm. Those images painted a real vivid picture of when I was a kid. Trying to remember childhood memories gets harder slowly when you get older and older. Sticking to childhood events are somethiing to be treasured and I would love to read anymore comparsions that you woud come up with in the near future of your writing techniques. Scotty, in the near future, I hope your writing develops into an even stronger structure than this. Always fight for the top spot and never settle for second best. Capture the readers attention and never let them go and do the same exact thing with your music. Captivation is the key to your success in your music career.

I really liked your voice and strong stance throughout the entire paper, as well as your thread between yourself and the book with the use of good examples. I strongly enjoyed the questions in both the introduction and the conclusion. They both really got me, leaving me wanting more, which is something that I might try.  I truly think you did a really good job.

To Zane

I liked how you started off your paper with a question, I feel like not many people do that. You have a good relation to the book throughout the whole paper. I feel like you should have talked about yourself sooner on in the paper, yet it is still a well written paper. I like how you end the paper telling me to read this book; it actually makes me want to read it now. Overall the ending is strong, and I liked it.

HENRRYYYYY! this is for you...

Dear, Henry

In your paper, I was very impress that you have played another role on this assignment. I know you have took your time working on this, because it is tough to answer the questions that you ask. Or maybe it wasn't, but I don't know, and you really had but in your imagination towards your response. And I really like how you put it in an interview formation, because it really did seem like I was reading an actual article. Well, keep up the good work!
