HOW I READ

My reading experiences have been pretty smooth and good. I believe that knowing 3 languages helped my brain develop and expand more which allowed me to learn at a more faster rate and make big complicated words much more easier to read and pronounce. I like to read in my free time or when I find a good book. I like to read books that are suspenseful but most of the times I will prefer to read books that I can relate to as a Mexican-American and of Mixteca descent. I get drawn to books that catch my attention and keep me interested, I don't like reading something that bores me after 5 minutes of reading it. For example, the textbooks here at school are very boring and dry. The stories have been the same for 15 years and they don't change. I think that stories that benefit us as students the most are books that we can relate too, that have something to do with each and every one of us and also something that connects to the whole world not just our surroundings.

HACK TO SCHOOL

Yes, I'm planning on coming to Back To School Night. My parents are going to come along with me. They are coming with me because they want to meet my teachers, see how I'm doing and because some of my teachers will give me extra credit. The people that support my success are myself, parents, aunts, uncles, friends and teachers.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES OF A HACKER

The Mentor's use of diction, syntax and tone effectively convey the message. This is because his use of diction is very sophisticated which allows communication and more people can relate to it. The diction is also formal and academic but, it also uses a variation of diction which allows a bigger audience to chime in. The syntax of the essay is unique because it doesn't stay with the same and traditional format of describing or stating facts; it has its own style of expression that captures the audiences' attention even more. The tone of the essay at the beginning is frustrated the, towards the middle the essay is defiant and at last the essay is inspirational. This means that the essay has a variation of tones which makes it more interesting and helps the author get his ideas across even clearer.

Consience Of A Hacker

The Hacker Manifesto was a essay written in January 8, 1986 by a computer security hacker. This essay was written after the author's first arrest when he was caught hacking.  The essay talks about how they point him and the rest out about being criminals when in reality the people in power are the biggest criminals there are. What is said and talked about in the poem to me is te truth because it states a lot of what goes on and what happens around us. The author of the essay spoke for everyone that faces the same issue that he faced of being put as the bad person for basically being human and exploring what the people in higher power don't want us knowing.

YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION

The purpose of language is to be understood and it helps you understand others. We aren't entitled to our opinion even though the Bill of Rights says we do. Technically, we don't have freedom of speech because there are things that we can say but will get us in trouble, prosecuted or even disagreements. The Bill of Rights talks about rights that we all have till we are officially a grown adult but don't literally state that we are allowed to do it.
