9th Time Volunteering

So I didnt go volunteer for a whole week because I got really sick so I missed two days that I was suppose to go. I emailed my mentor to let her know that I wasnt going to be showing up and she just told me to come back when I felt better. I went back on February 18 which was Presidents Day, I went on that day because we didnt have school so I used it as an advantage to make up some hours that I missed when I was sick. For me I thought that, that day was kind of slow they didnt have alot of patients. I was talking to the nurses and they asked where I planned on going after high school and stuff like that. They all gave me great advice about where I should go and they even gave me some websites for me to check out.

I also went to the clinic on February 20th. I got there and at first I was with my mentor looking at patients. After they didnt really have patients so I was just talking to some of the nurses they are really friendly. After some patients came in some needed some shots so I followed the nurses to give the shots to the patients.

Welcome to Oceania

I think Winstons biggest conflict so far is that he started to write on a diary and thats illegal were hes at because you can't write your thoughts out. One day he opened his door, he was scared because he thought it was Thought Police and he thought that they were there to arrest him. I think thats his biggest conflict so far because he seems likes hes paranoid about writting his criminal thoughts on the journal, because he knows hes not suppose to. Oceania seems to be a place that everybody follows one person almost like they have one ruler. Winston has a telescreen and its always on. The Thought Police uses the telescreen to monitor what all the people living in oceania are doing. Makes them have no freedom they are always being controlled by the Thought Police. Something that is always said in the book is "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" and that is true because everybody is always being watched.

Stranger than Fiction

          To be an author it means to write a story or a book. To be a narrator it means that someone reads a story out loud or who reads a book out loud. The two are very different because reading a book or story is not the same as telling a story out loud. In the movie we watched in class Stranger Than Fiction mostly the thing was a narration, because the women was telling the story about the guy. Most of the time she was the one talking and like in the movie when he would get up in the morning while he would be brushing his teeth she would be the one saying it. In the movie she would be writing while narrating his whole life. As he would live his life she would be narrating it.

            After writing my paper I noticed it’s not that easy to be a narrator, because you want to write about a lot, but you also want everything to fit in right. For me it was hard to decide what to leave in my essay because I found a lot of interesting information but like an author you have to know what fits and what doesn’t. In my paper I talk about not only one specific person, but more about different types of people. I think writing about groups of people is more interesting than just talking about what person. Talking about groups hopefully makes my paper more interesting.

7th Time Volunteering

This past week I went to volunteer for my project two times. I went on Monday January the 28th and Wednesday the 30th. It was the same as the weeks before. I got there then i follwed my mentor for a while, but then she left so i had to follew the other doctor. There was a patient that had hurt her foot and i went with the doctor in the room after he examined it he called me over to show me what he was looking at. After that the nurses asked me if I wanted to do the stuff I always do which are the height, weight etc.

Next time I go im going to have question for some of the nurses to answer.
