“A Good Man is Hard to Find” Yulaisy Dominguez
In this story the constant intervention of a woman that plays the role of the grandmother takes her own family to death. She never notices how much damage she does to her family by changing all the decisions they try to make as a whole. The Misfit was affected by something in his pass and now he is obtaining revenge back by killing innocent people. Even though ,in the end of the story he shows some feelings feelings. The Misfit kills this whole family but when he has to kill the grandmother it becomes hard for him and for a second he thinks of not doing it. In my opinion taking revenge of your life over others lives is not right there is no reason for innocent people to pay for others mistakes.

"Fences"
“Fences” Yulaisy Dominguez
The drama “Fences” was written by August Wilsom. In this short story we have the following set of characters: Troy Maxon; Jim Bono – Troy’s friend; Rose – Troy’s wife; Lyons – Troy’s oldest son by previous marriage; Gabriel – Troy’s brother; Cory – Troy and Rose’s son; and Raynell – Troy’s daughter. These characters compose a family with many troubles. They try to stay together as much as possible but through out the play they all start going their own way until Troy dies and their get together for his funeral. Is ugly how for this family is not possible to stay together only doing it for such an ugly moment which is the lost of someone close.

“Oedipus Rex”
“Oedipus Rex” Yulaisy Dominguez
In “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles is easy to see the excessiveness of hubris and also the great message that leaves to all readers. Oedipus by having too much pride is awfully affected when he gets the news that he was married to his mother and had kids with her and, that he had killed his dad. Trying to escape their future was the first error committed by the queen and king and the of course by our protagonist. Our futures are already written and anything we try to change them is not going to work, one way or another our future is always going to happen.

Borges Dreams
Yulaisy Dominguez enc 1102
Jorge Luis Borges was a man of big dreams. This dreams he would always refer to he would turn them or use them in his stories. Also the use of animals and colors was a big face of his writing too. In the stories “Blue Tigers” and “The Zahir” he relates tigers, dreams and in one of them he focuses intensely in the color blue. “Blue Tigers” is mostly about a man following his biggest dream in life which were tigers, which takes him to a village thinking he was going to find a blue tiger but instead he finds blue rocks which turn to be addictive and in an infinite number which was uncountable. In “The Zahir” he is given for change this mythical coin which was said to be addictive. One of the coin’s faces had a tiger a beautiful tiger which would call anyone’s attention. Once he noticed this coin was dangerous he got rid of it but then the only thing he could think about was this coin which was taking over his memory.

Community Service Learning

The service learning I did on Saturday 14 at Westland Mall to complete my five community hours required for my ENC1102 class was an unforgettable experience. I got there at 12:00 pm and waited to be given an assignment. After a few minutes I started seen some movement. There was Miami Dade College staff as well as students from other classes and also from mine. We started giving out flyers and applications then they gave us some brushes and water paint, so we started painting little kid’s faces .I was painting flowers, butterflies, hearts, crowns, starts, and a little girl asked me to paint a horse in her face which was so funny since I had no idea how to do that, so I convinced her with a heart and flowers and she left happy and smiling. They had games for kids with music, prizes, it was a lot of fun for them, and their happiness was reflected in their little faces. The pod cast about Harry Potter came out perfect. Our professor was wearing a rope and a hat like one of the wizards from the movie and interviewed many kids while they were getting recorded. The pod cast is going to be posted this week online and I am waiting to see because I know it was great. This experience was amazing and I am very glad I did.
