Chandre : I agree with Chandre and how he explains how the plot had an influence on the setting. I also agree with how he explains how Dina had such high hopes for Tokyo, and nothing happened the way she thought it would happen. 

Israel : I agree with Israel the author had to have some type of fascination with Tokyo by making it the main plot of the story. She expresses her love for Tokyo through her main character Dina.  

Parker's Setting

The setting in the story "Geese" played a big role in Dina plan to move to Tokyo to make a lot of money. Dina's plan didn't go as planned it wasn't as easy as she thought it was going to be. Her plan did not go as she wanted it to. Since she had a job in the US she thought it would be better opportunities and easier to find a better job in Tokyo. But it was honestly hard for her because she was American. By her being so far away from home and not really having anyone was the reason she became a prostitute. The location was really the main cause so many men in Tokyo has a lot of interest in her cause she was different she was African American.

Life event

If I was ever to write a story or a poem depending on the topic I choose a life event could really affect it. When you go through something in life it is easier for you to write about it or to express your feelings about it vs if you never been through it. You really can't speak the truth on something you never been through or you can't write truthfully about a specific topic. You can only go so far with just thinking about or trying to connect with something you never been through in life. It would be easy for me to write a story about hurricane Katrina because that is a life event I went through and had to deal with. It wouldn't be easy for someone who didn't experience the hurricane to write about. It wouldn't have as many details to it or in it.

Author's Life of Doc 1

In Doc 1 the author of the story I used is Gail Godwin. Godwin is a woman she knows the wife duties and she knows how a wife well a woman should treat her husband and her child. By Godwin being a woman she knows sometimes things get rough and she also knows that women tend to always have a lot on their backs and some aren't as strong as others. By Godwin knowing these things she could easily switch it up and a happy wife into very tired miserable wife. 

Faulkner's Plot

When Faulkner did the plot for "A Rose for Emily" he did not use or put it in chronological order. Instead, he used the original way. He didn't want things to be so obvious and for his readers to know what's going to happen next. The plot was mainly about the struggle that Emily went through. When her father passed away she suffered badly and she had no one that could compare to her dad and how close they were. She lived her life like her against the world. The textbook says after her father passes away she became enlightened. With the plot that Faulker used it was a lot of twists and turns you really had to think to figure out what was going to happen next it didn't come to you immediately.  

A Rose for my grandma

It has been a year going on two since I lost my grandmother. I'm finally finding myself again and gaining my strength back. My grandmother was like my second mom she was always there for me and always lifted me up when I was down. When I lost my grandmother I didn't know where to turn or how to really deal with it cause I never lost someone so close to me. I know she's watching over me each and every day. She's gone but she will forever live on in my heart.
