Twelfth Night (cont.)

We have continue to read Twelfth Night. There's Viola who likes Orsino and change her identity to get close to him. Her plans went another way when she started working for Orsino because Orsino is using him (her) to help him get with Olivia which sucks. Viola went to talk to Olivia and she fell in love with him (Viola). It's funny because you can tell that Viola is trying to get Olivia fall in love with him instead of accepting Orsino's love. I really like the play especially when we get to act it out sometimes it's really funny. For homework I decided to retell, respond, relate every scene in the play. I haven't really had the time to focus in my inquiry project, but I did read this article that talks about an autistic couple. The article talks about how hard it is for autistic people to be in a relationship with each other. The problem is that they don't really know how to communicate or express there emotions. I like the answers that I have been getting for my question. Another thing that happened this week was that I got accepted to Biola Univeristy:)

Twelfth Nights

This week I been working on getting two of my applications in. Azusa's and Point Loma's. We also started reading "Twelfth Nights." I have seen a "novela" I don't know how it's called in English, but it's almost the same as the play. I seen the novela a couple of times and it's really cute. I'm excited about this play I have a feeling I'm going to like it. We cast the characters in the play and some people came out with good matches. Another thing we did in the beginning of the week was to write our first essay on our first book. I actually liked the way we wrote the essay this time, because I like talking about my topic so writing about it like I would on a blog was easy for me. I didn't finish because I took to long on my first paragraph and I was not able to finish one of my body paragraphs and the conclusion. I'm looking forward to read my next book. I'm not sure which one I'm going to be reading yet, but I'm sure I'm going to like it.

Emma

Yesterday, we got to see a comedy romance musical play of the book "Emma," by Jane Austin. I really liked the play in general. The actors/actress were really good and that's what made the play good and nice. My favorite part was when Mr. Knightly was about to tell Emma what he felt for her but Emma discouragement him and took his hopes down and he walked away. But then he turns back and tells her he loves her. It was so cute I wish I was her right in that moment. I learned that sometimes when you look for your partner you go really far to look for him when really his not too far away. Anyways, I have been working on my inquiry project. I been listening to the interview I had with Stephanie and I'm typing what she answer to my questions. I have to finish my book "Look Me in the Eye" by Tuesday so I'll get on that. I also did some research on experts in autism and I found this guy named Stephan. Stephan was diagnosed with a stronger autism and the doctors suggest his parents to institutionalize him, but his parents disagree. With the help of teachers, friends, and professionals Stephan was able to learn just like every child. Now he's about to complete his Doctoral degree in special education. I'm really excited to learn more about Autism.

Week 5

I have been getting loads of information about my topic, autism. I'm almost done with my first book "Look me in The Eye," and I love it so much. The book is loaded with information about asperger's which is tied up with Autism. John Elder Robison the author of the book is an aspergian, so reading a book that comes from someone that is diagnosed with Asperger's is really helpful. Reading about his life with asperger’s helps me have an image of what it’s like to live with asperger’s, and I can say that it’s not that easy. John is smart but he doesn’t have the social skills to work with people, like in a work or at school. He also talks about how he struggles to maintain conversations with people. I also got to interview Stephanie one of our staff here in HTHI that takes care of Anthony who has autism. The interview was really interesting she packed my head with more information about Autism. She talked to me about what it’s like to work with Anthony. Stephanie Lytle told me that it would be interesting to interview Anthony himself, and I’m really looking forward to do that.
