Blog Entry 7

Well, i think what i need is to improve on my grammar mistakes and try to finish my blogs on time. Also about the class, i believe that is very challenging, the proffesor gives a lot of material and homework which is good for this class because at the end i'll be ready for the final. The point is to be familiar with the test. what i need to know is how to develop a good essay by reaching the 400 words, sometimes it is hard for me to do it because i need more vocabulary or sometimes the topics are complicated to understand.

Blog 5: "Allegory of the cave"

 In the passage " Allegory of the Cave" ased by the Greek philosopher Plato is an example of how the humans use to suffer by being prisioners their entire lives in caves without knowing how the real world was. They had their hands and feet with chains facing a wall and at the back of them it was fire. The only thing that the prisioners were able to see and hear was the shadows and echos of people and animals when they were crossing a little bridge that was between the prisionersw and the fire. Once a prisioner were released and able to see the real world but the light it was too much for him because he had been in the darknes his entire life. After that he went back inside to tell the other prisioners how the real world was but the prisioners never understand because what they hear were echos and what they saw were shadows, the same things that they had been seen for the rest of their lives.

1) What i get from thinking about annotations was that it will really helps a lot when is time to start the essay. It make me feel more organized.

2) What i learned from writing annotations for "is google making us stupid" was that my ideas were more organized and that helped me to concentrate in an specific point which is good when is time to write.

3) What i learned was that annotating makes me understand better what the author is trying to tell us bout google.

4) I think that it could make me a better writer because i can concentrate in the main points of the reading and develop a good essay.
