Multigenre Reflection by Freddie Blondet

Multigenre Reflection by Freddie Blondet

All my multigenre entries are about the novel of the autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Therefore, all are focused in the institution of the slavery; in which the black people was considered property without rights and without control over their life. I decided to do ten different Multigenres entries, like a challenge to myself. I did a personal letter of Miss Jane, a timeline of slavery in the United States, Schedule about all the things that I did, and need to completate about the novel of Miss Jane, a power point representation of my part, a journal entry about the slavery present in the novel of Miss Jane, a comic strip of a scene that was not present in the movie of Miss Jane, a cluster of Miss Jane, a Venn Diagram about slaves and their masters, a poem of slavery and a collage of the slavery of today, that apply to all the races, ethnics and all different colors of skin.

Of these Multigenres, I enjoyed make, more than any other, the collage. Because this is about the slavery of today; that does not exist legally but prevails. Because the capitalist system permit that workers work during their functional days of life (30 years) and then, they are thrown away. Furthermore, the advance of technology does that less workers are needed to work; doing that every day increases the unemployment more and more. This reality affects the life of great percent of families that fall in poverty without money or work to sustain their own families; causing that this families become in dependents of the state.

Because of this, today most of the people are slaves of work, addicted to gain money; which carry them to concentrate all their energies in this goal since no one want to be poor. The money is important but is not the most important thing that exist in this world. Because there is so much people in the world, that have more money than the money they need to live; but despite of that they could be very unhappy.

The happiness is not something that can be bought, or found. Happiness is something that everyone constructs every day; either doing the things that make you feel good, or share with your friends, or completing your goals, or dedicating your life to discover your own soul through meditation. The recipe of the happiness is individually for everyone. Because everyone of us has their own ways to construct their life. Therefore, any persona can create their own way to achieve their happiness, which is full of smiles, joy, cheerfulness, pleasure, satisfaction and complacency. But the goal of making money, not always will conduct you to the happiness that you really need because following this goal can transform you in a slave of work.

Blog reflection by Freddie Blondet

When you come to feel proud about yourself and the things that you did, you come to learn live in freedom. For that, is very important to be the arquitect of your own life; creating the best future that you can imagine. For this reason, is very important to learn new things every day; to improve yourself learning things that you don’t know. But, what means feel proud about yourself and about the life that you carry? In first instance, you can say that to feel proud about something, it is necessary to have gained that thing for your own efforts. But to feeling proud of oneself, it is necessary more than your own efforts. Because it is necessary to live for all your plans, believing in yourself and in the things that you visualized for your future; and create those things in your future world. That types of feelings and thinking, makes the people become winners. Knowing this, this reflection is going to explain: how to learn and do this blog, got me more close to my goal of learn to think in English.

I always have positive mind, because I believe and trust in me, one hundred percent. For that, no matter the challenge, I will be prepared to affront every defiance that life put to me. Because for me the more important thing is to do your best, no matter how difficult or easy the event is. Like everyone, I have a lot of goals, and one of them is learn to think, write and speak in English. For this reason, every day I work to achieve this goal; and making this blog was one more step to be more close to that goal.

I say this, for various reasons: First when I arrived to the University of Puerto Rico I did not understand anything; not even the questions of the readings in English. But the coupling to my new reality, in which all the books were in English, the pressure of not understanding anything, the good professors of English that I had in my first year (in which I took including English laboratory) and my big desire of overcoming, took me to learn to read and write in English a little bit. Therefore, the constancy of writing in the journal, do reflections and create my blog, help me to correct my grammar errors; principally the creation of the blog. Because its creation, make me take my time revising my documents that I wrote with antelation to rewrite them in the blog. 

Until now I feel comfortable with the advance that I have achieved in my goal to learn English. But still I have so much to learn. And for that I arrived, to the conclusion that to improve myself in this goal is necessary, to put myself, a big challenge. For that reason, I have decided, going to study medicine in the United States. But before to start I will go to live and work one year to this country with the purpose to achieve this goal before to start studying medicine. For this I will continue practicing my English grammar and learning new vocabulary, since this is vital for my other goals and the future that I visualized to me. In conclusion learn of our errors permit us improve to big steps; and this blog help me learning of the grammar errors, that until now, I can detect while I am revising my writings. And this make me feel happy and proud of myself, since every day I will be more close of this goal of learn to speak, write and read English language.
