In my house a lot of conversation is surrounded around one single object. The television is something that most people feel causes loss of conversation and exchange within families. In my house the use this item is almost a life line to start conversations that could not begin without another situation. Once my mother and I were watching “The Maury Show”, and it was about out of control children. On this show the children were using vulgar language with their parents and physically hurting them. My mother and I got into a great discussion about how, why, and where there behaviors stemmed from. Television is something that you turn on, off, and change the channel. In many peoples life television can represent more talk shows, reality TV, and game shows.
Television is the one item that has no life but gives so much life. Television is a non-living thing can provide culture and substance to many different things and in my house not only is it a focal point; it has become important in family bonding. I work thirty hours a week and go to school Tuesday Thursdays. Needless to say time is limited and relaxing while spending time with family can become complicated. Every Thursday I come home finish all my homework and then sit down with my mom and cousin to enjoy quality time.
Thursday is Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and Making the Band. We eight O’clock hits on the dot the TV is surrounded. With my family encircled awaiting the drama, controversy, and debates waiting to happen. If I ever thought of it, the poor television gets yelled, screamed and carried at. A lot of emotion happens and at times it is directed towards this lifeless, spiritless thing. In actuality the television consumes the anger or even desperation coming from our conversations instead of directing it toward each other. Through it all the television is our outlet for stressful days, and upsetting people.

About Me

- Four years ago I was asked to write an all about me, I was sixteen years old and thought of my life as a blank canvas. I believed I had deep thoughts and dreamed beyond the horizon, I jump through hoops, ran past dreams, into the arms of me. I depended on air to help me breathe, while I trusted in god to provide that air for me. You tell me I can’t and I show you I can. That’s me, defiant of all odds in the pursuit of greatness. So far I have become the young woman I dreamt of being, only with life’s hardships and too many sufferings that followed me. I always find it interesting how people want you to some up your life in a page or two, when you’ve lived twenty pages; I guess nothing is fully inclusive. My father says that he has forgotten more now than I could know at my age, I presume that’s the point, to write an about me is suppose to be the great highlights of your life, from the many people you’ve known, loved and befriended. I love to think of my life as a blank canvas, a work of art never to finished, always willing, and able to add more. I feel comfortable ending this about me as the last, all about me is a canvas I'll spend a lifetime painting creating and contemplating.
Hey it's me Blake.
ReplyDeleteThe first sentence you should have used "a single object" instead of "one single object", it gets rid of repetition. Also in the third sentence you should of put "the use of this item". Also in that same sentence you should of put "that could not begin in another situation". Fifth sentence you should of used the word their not there. That is the first 5 sentences, you should just go back and fix the grammar and stuff. I like the premise around your blog though. The idea is good.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI think you had an interesting blog. You described the different view and gave a different argument. I really enjoyed reading your perception on television. I completely understand you not having enough time; I feel the exact way except I really don't even have time to watch TV. I don't remember the last time I did lol
Blake seems to have covered many of the corrections I wanted to make. I would also like to point out the lack of commas in many places that are necessary.
-Ex: "In my house,"
-Ex: "Every Thursday, I come home, finish all my homework, and then sit with..."
-Lifeless and spiritless is a repeated word.
-"People's life"
-"outlet for stressful days and upset people."
I hope that helps. I think all these grammar mistakes are minor, but they will definitely improve your blog. Great job on the topic!
I caught one grammatical mistake:
ReplyDelete"We eight O’clock hits on the dot the TV is surrounded." We should be When.
Nothing else was wrong with your writing. I really enjoyed reading about your experiences with the television. I too sit down on Thursdays and watch Grey's Anatomy.
