Part one
Mesa trail
Mesa trail is told from an interesting
point of view it is told from the first person point of view but not of a
person. The story starts off at the head of the mesa trail and it describes the
entrance to the trail. As you start this “journey” it describes the trail
itself the fact that it’s wide enough for a horse or for an Indian to just walk
but the experience is completely different for each person. It then continues
to talk about the day time and how it’s an open land with trees and flowers and
mountains but not much action going on. The author is extremely descriptive with
every detail talking about the flowers the mountains and as the story continues
he talks about the night in the desert and how the place comes to life. The desert
comes to life the owls wake up and the wolfs and coyotes come out to eat and it
goes into detail on how every animal is vicious and then out of nowhere it changes back to daytime
and you continue down the trail. But this time we find life but in the locals
who live on the trail and it goes into even more description of how they live
and there housing.
Polk Street
The story of Polk Street is basically a
recap of a day in the life of a local of Polk.it begins with a guy looking out
his window and he sees the streets booming small business all open everyone working
hard and making a living. When I thought of this I think of a market place or
the streets around pikes place in Seattle WA it reminds me of a marketplace. As
the story goes on the day progresses to the evening when saloons open and
people get off work and go drink and have a good time. Then it gets to ten or
eleven and the night quiets down. This story is very descriptive much like the
first one it makes you feel as if you are there looking out the window at this
bust marketplace on Polk Street. This story tells the tale of most cities where
every day is a cycle.
Place matters
A Place matter isn’t a story like the other two papers it’s
more of an instructional essay on how to create a lens. The writer talks about
how to take a random space such as my dorm room and make it a place make it
cozy make it appeal to every reader. This paper is about making the lens for
the average person seem interesting and worth the reader’s time. It says to
make a dark space into a bright place to transform the readers idea of the space
completely if they once hated it make them love it make them change their views
on that place. Give the reader a “sense of the place” be descriptive and bring
them into your view into your world. Make the reader feel as if they know that
place give them as many observations and descriptions as you can use scenery
details and make them love the space.
Chapter 14
Chapter fourteen was all about plagiarism a
how to get past it or to make sure you don’t do it. As a student plagiarism is
very common because it’s easy just copy someone else boom less work for you. But
it is wrong and can easily get you kicked out of any school or even get you
fired from your job. To avoid plagiarism
as this chapter says is easy make sure you site your work and take good notes
in your own words. The better the note the less likely you are to plagiarize and
if you do get accused to of plagiarizing then make sure you have your notes
bring them in and go back to the portion of your writing that aroused suspicion
and double check it if it’s very similar to the source site the source or re word
that section.
PART 2
All of the actual stories have pretty much the same view
they talk about a first person view but they aren’t from the view of a person. The
lenses could be told from any view suck as people because in the mesa trail there’s
a community that lives out by the trail and the Polk Street also has people who
live in the street so you can talk about what they see or what they think of
the places they live in and for what there a part of. The lens can be created
from any one of those descriptions from any one of those stories because they
are all very descriptive and full of detail you can picture the place it became
more than just words it became a place
OBSERVATION NOTES

Observation notes
When sitting here watching these
guys and girls lifting you break them into social groups pretty quickly you
have
1. Your
meat heads- people who lift for hours at a time every time you go to the gym
there they’re lifting and talking they basically live there.
2. Your
athletes- your athletes go there strictly for business they go in lift to be
better at a sport then they mostly lift alone but sometimes with a friend or
two
3. Frat
boys- Lift there just to look good look good to make the girls fall for their muscles.
Usually lift together in groups.
4. And
finally your guys or girls who lift casually for health and for fun. And these
are normally the big groups of people
The possible
lenses here would be through the eyes of any of these people or groups or even
through a broader lenses like social groups or see how a team or frat lifts
together like a family or community or even look through the lens of a casual
health junkie who loves there body and who lives to feel good.
Today I saw
another point of view in the weight room more than usual a huge group of girls
came in. yes normally there are one to two maybe even three girls in there but
today there were a ton of them just
lifting together and I really started to wonder what they were doing there.
I started to think
of reasons they would show up. Was it the actual love of lifting or for the
guys not really wearing much clothing making their arms bigger? It was a weird observation I would say.
The people who work
at the weight room in the src look pretty bored all they do is sit there and
occasionally walk around. There are signs posted saying they can help spot you
on a lift but I never have seen them do that. What do they see in that place?
Just a job? Or are they actually enjoying it
