Stanley get really violent when he's drunk, but has a good heart for Stella. On page 39 Stanley got upset because the radio was on, while he was playing poker. On page 40 Stanley lay his hands on Stella. Even tho he laid his hands on her. Stanley wanted to apologize for his actions. On the same page Stanley yelled out Stella name, which shows his feelings towards her and how he cares for her. He does love Stella but when he's drunk, he's another person.

Blanche is a liar. She lies about her drinking habits. She tells Mitch that her limit is 3 but she drank more than that. She also lied about her age, when she's actually the younger sister. She also lied about the petition that could have made Stella and Stanley rich. Blanche's outfit is also a lie. She claims to be rich when she's really not.

Final Draft

   Achieving a 3.0 GPA for the cluster class is a small step to my main goal, which is to become a Psychologist. I know a 3.0 is more easier to get, but I've always like to start small and then move on big. Having a 3.0 GPA in college is something that no one in my family had. I want to not only be the first one but to show my family that their travels to the United States wasn't a waste.

  Getting a 3.0 will be a challenge because there is one area that I still need to improve on and that's my writing. Improving my writing will not only make me a be writer but it would eliminate years of frustration towards writing. If my writing hasn't made an improvement then my goal of a 3.0 would be a waste of my time. This is very important to me because many people that has achieved a GPA of a 3.0 or higher, are most likely to be good writers.I want to be one of those people, I want to achieve something and say that I'm a good writer. Maybe if I go to a tutor that can help me with my writing. It can help me achieve my goal for that 3.0 GPA for the cluster.

  Back in the 6th grade I was a 90 overall student. Over the years that has past I've become more lazier and my GPA has dropped. While I was in high school, my GPA was around a seventy five. I know I could have done better because I know I take school serious. But since my high school was one of those school that didn't motivate their students to do anything. I adapted to it and thus made me lazy and not care about the grades I got. In a way it disappointed me because I know that I'm better then that and how I could have done better. But instead I let the people in my school and the lack of motivation to influence me to not care about school and their academics.

   I want to be motivated about school again. Being motivated will keep me focus and less distracted about the little things. One motivation I had was when I doubted myself, a friend of mine always kept a positive attitude and that kept me going. With my friends positive attitude it always made me realize that I am that A student that I use to be in middle school. One motivation speech that my mother told me was "When it gets tough, you keep going". It sounds a bit corny but it always kept be going. So I will use that to accomplish my goal because at times I don't feel motivated to do anything. It frustrates me because I am a good student and I just need a little motivation to remind me of the big picture. 

  There are a couple of ways for my to help me reach my goal. First off I can take better notes. Taking good notes will help me be more organize and that's important. I can also try to pay more attention in class. Often enough I get really tired, not because the class is boring, its just I sleep late at times. So instead of sleeping late, I should try to sleep a bit earlier, so I can pay attention in class more.
If I improve my writing and get some motivation. I know in my heart that i can reach that 3.0 GPA. These may be small little things to some people, but to me it means everything. It would mean so much to me because over the years my writing was bad and I had lack of motivation to do anything. But once I reach 3.0, then I will attempt to reach a bigger average which is 3.5. But by that time I will be confident enough to know that I can do it and I know I'll have my mother and my friend to keep be focus. To do better and excel.

Blog 2: First Draft of Goals Essay

  In order for me to become a Psychologist I first must achieve a 3.0 GPA for the cluster. I know 3.0 could be a bit easy but its a small step for me and my journey of being a psychologist. But for me to achieve a 3.0 GPA I also must improve my writing because jobs for psychology requires me to to write a cover letter. If my writing isn't good enough through their eyes they can simply just throw away my resume out the trash. I think if I get a 3.0 GPA it would mean that not only my hard work paid off but, it would also mean for me to work even harder for the long run.
  One way for me to achieve a 3.0 is by improving my writing. Improving my writing would not only eliminate my frustrations towards writing but it would also improve my GPA. Writing has always been my enemy for years. I dislike writing for so long that every time I hear the word essay I just give a mean look about it. Ways for me to improve and writing is by going to the writing center if I'm ever in need of help. I can also do some free writing on my journal that I keep, maybe that could help me improve it.
  Another way for me to get a 3.0 GPA is by getting some morale support by either my family members or friends. Back in high school i was always one of those students who were just lazy to do any of the homework. I understand the work that was given to me, but since my high school was one of those schools that had no positive energy it turned me lazy. So with the support with someone close to me, it can motivate me to stay focus and concentrate for my 3.0 GPA. I can also make a bet that my English professor mentioned when she was in college. Placing bets are great ways to improve your GPA because, no one likes to lose especially if the loser has to do something embarrassing.
  Talking to my college professor could likely improve my GPA cause, their feedback can help me understand what i need to improve on so I can be a better student. For example if my English professor suggested I participate in class more, then I'll do everything in my power to improve on that. If I get a low grade on a test I can ask why I got that failing grade. It will also help me have a better understanding thus helping me get a 3.0. I should also take my classes seriously, cause if I don't I wont be able to accomplish my goal. So taking my classes seriously is another way to do well on the cluster.
  In conclusion now that I have achieve a 3.0 GPA for the cluster its time for me to focus on something even more bigger. Its time for me to achieve an even higher GPA. Since I started off slow and did everything at a good pace for myself. I can now try to achieve a 3.5 GPA, which means I have to work a lot harder and study more.

My Goals

  One goal I want to accomplish by the end of the semester is to become a better writer. I know by becoming a better writer it will erase the years of doubt I had about my writing. Also it will help me to achieve another goal and that's to become a psychologist. I know for a fact that part of me will try to avoid writing at all cause. But I have to realize that its beneficial for me cause getting a job in the field of psychology requires for me to write a 

cover letter, and my writing has to be good or I'll never get to do what I want to do. 

  Is improving my writing important to me? Yes it is. Its important to me because throughout my childhood my writing was never the best. My little brother and older brother were such great writers, while I was only good in math. Since my writing wasn't good I had to take some private tutoring or go to speech. It always hurts to know that your writing isn't good or good enough on exam. So by improving my writing and not think negatively about it over the years, I can not only be happy with myself but to know that I too can write as well as my two brothers. 

    One challenge I know I will face is avoiding writing at all cause. What I mean by that is sometimes I get a little lazy and when I get a little lazy it becomes me fully being lazy. A way that I can overcome my challenge is having someone to motivate me to stop being lazy and get a pen, sit down and just write. I believe with some motivation from a family member or a good friend, I can be motivated to write and learn to love something I've always had a hatred on. So if I can do all those things then I'm one step closer to becoming a psychologist and a better writer. This improvement will make me feel better about myself and that's what I feel can make me a better person.
