Tanner Lebo Mrs. Jank English 2 9 February 2018 The Disposablility of Those in Poverty in America In today’s American society, poor people and those in poverty are viewed as being disposable. There are multiple reasons that a person can be led to believe this. One is that many people have developed stereotypes towards the […]
We took some personality tests in Interpersonal Communication. My results were that I was a Blue/Gold Beaver. I think the trait of being a Beaver really suits me well, because I am a perfectionist and am really hard on myself. I like doing things step by step by instructions, without much thinking. I know that […]
I really liked Hotel Rwanda. It was really entertaining and a great story of heroism and bravery. It really showcases the disposability that goes on within one society. It exposes the hate that was shown onto the Tutsi’s, by the Hutus. The Hutus have overtaken Rwanda, and see the Tutsi’s as disposable. They see them […]
This semester, I have progressed in the areas of speaking, thinking, reading, and writing. In speaking, I have learned how to make more eye contact and really connect with the audience in order to make you speech heard. I also learned that I tick a lot after a sentence, and I especially did in the […]
I got basically halfway through the book Moneyball. I think the story is now picking up, because now it is actually talking about how the A’s got to where they are, instead of just background. I thought it was cool because I got to see kind of what goes on in a MLB Draft, and […]

Right now in the story, it is talking about a man named Bill James, who essentially invented sabermetrics, a new style of selected and drafting players in the MLB, based upon on base percentage. He first started by creating a book called the 1977 Baseball Abstract. […]
I am reading the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. It is 3rd person limited, because the readers can see what some characters are thinking. It is about the story behind the Oakland A’s, and how they put together 90 and 100 wins seasons despite not having any MVP caliber players, top […]
“Hurry up Isaac!” Johannes’ dad, Jeff, screamed from the campsite. “We haven’t got all night!” “It’s just a night hike,” Isaac whispered to himself as he walked out of the camper. Isaac and Arthur were on a camping trip over Halloween with their friend Johannes, and his dad, Jeff. The group was embarking on a […]
Introduction: This is the rough draft of my suspense piece. I think this is a very raw version of the story, and it has a lot to improve on, including suspense, character development, and description. I want to make it more suspenseful, so that when the end comes, it will be a lot crazier and […]
