Hello everyone,

I’m Akia. I just moved to to Abington from Albuquerque, New Mexico. So far it has been a pretty smooth transition, for me at least. My family is taking it a little hard but they know it's for the best. My family also knows it is much safer out here than it is back in New Mexico. I came all the way across the country not only for the education, but for my love of softball. I've been playing since I was ten and have been playing ever since. I catch for those of you who know the sport. Making this big change is scary but so far everything has fallen in place. I have mixed feelings about everything, sad, excited, curious, scared. Sad because I’ve always been around my family my whole life. Excited because there is only opportunity ahead of me. Curious of what will be in store for me. Then scared of failing. This is a start to new things and for the time being I believe in myself. I believe I have a bright future ahead of me. I believe I can make my family proud. I truly believe in the person I’m becoming.

Genre Generator After experimenting with a couple genre generators online, many of them give certain examples of patterns to inform their audience that, their conventions are apart of a certain genre. By doing this, they both entertain and inform people about that topic and why its in that genre. These generators use several different types of genres to do this. When searching the web one of the examples I found was a memes generator. This generator took hundreds and hundreds of memes and uploaded them to their site. The main purpose is to make people laugh (obviously), but the jokes are only funny to people because they are relevant to the time and people can relate to them. For instance, there are memes with popular artist of today like drake and his music video, which will probably not be relevant 50 years from now. There is memes on this website that are religious as well, like the “Jesus says” memes. Today we are allowed to joke around with that but maybe would not have in the...

Elbow Article For my annotations of the elbow article I circled the main topics, or the main subjects that are being written about. The highlighted was everything that was important about the closest circled subject. The underlined part is when the author talks about what contradicts with what he talks about. The square is key word or words that I feel made the piece strong. Stars are strong messages messages I got out of the writing. I also make list for each subject. The pattern that I found when I write is, each annotation helps me distinguish what the author wants to say about he's explaining. Torie was telling me she highlight words or phrases she wants to look back on. She stars or underline points that she thinks are important and that will be discussed in class. She rewrites sentences that she wants to understand better. Jacob told me he also highlights or underlines what he thinks is important. He then writes questions in the margins to get answers in class.
