describing Gloria Anzalduas writing and conrtrasting similarties

Gloria anzaldua’s writing to me doesn’t make sense really, this writer throws me off the bat, in terms of understanding her metaphores, similies, overall what she trys to express. The fact that she has a very high vocabulary makes it even more difficult, however, only because hardley understand her writing does’nt mean she not a great poet, in reality she is. She really digs deep to express her innerfeelings with a unique style and form. The usage of metaphores and similies are greatly used within her writing to express in a broad clear way toward readers, which creates this feeling of being in her story’s and , therefore causing them come alive right before your eyes, in a sense. The writing structure greatly impressive and kind of unique.

Similarities between my writing form and Anzaldua’s are; we both tend to use metaphores and similies which is nothing new among writers. Were both excellent at writing. Differences between us are; she comes up with unusaul metalphore, similies , and interpetations that can become a challenge to grasp on, she is also upsess with writing.

Difining the word “border”

What does border mean to you Alex?  To me it means a boundary which lays out a line either geographically or just in our minds.  Geographically, states, counries, cities and so forth, border isn’t just something we can see physically, its also how we recognize mentally. example ther are borders drawn upon us on the limition of our behavior by the law and if we dont comply there will be consquences. Borders are everywhere around us eihter if you see them or not, for certain reasons.  They keep society more oraganized in certain differen’t ways.  If there were no such thing of borders, people would be doing whatever they wish without anyone regulating them. example no borders within counrties millions of people would enter the united states since its looked upon many people and ,therefore, we would face some severe problems, so thats why this is very important.

MLK vocal opinon

People can influence other people by vocal opinons, for an example martin luther created big time influence to people, which led to justice among the black people across the united states. He was such a great speaker, therefore, led people to follow him and consider him.  Alike Martin, Hilter was also a terrific spaker, which caused people from Germay to follow him, but unlike Martin, Hitler influenced violence, brutality among jews, homosexuals, and others he didn’t approve of.  Martin influenced peace, equalness for everyone as he believed every human being is created equal.

“Environment concerns and solution”

          There are a variety of factors that have affects on our environment, the natural environment in this case, where people’s actions contribute to bad unfriendly environmental consequences.  One of my concerns is deforestation, which means destruction to the rainforests by wiping out basically the whole rainforest by lumberjacking the trees by human actions.This practice is done to supply lumber, paper products and so forth, things that come from wood.  Lumber had become a much demanded natural resource that society needs, that’s why we this practice on the move.           I think this issue is becoming worst as time progresses since its always occurring.  To this day rainforest take up about thirty percent of the world’s earth, which use to be a higher percentage before?  If this act continues at the rate as right now it’s estimated by experts that nothing can be left of rainforests within about the next century.  Sure were planting new trees to make for the ones destroyed, but unfortunately this cant help with the rate of one being cut down, it’s a very slight contribution.           Deforestation has a bundle of negative affects on our environment.  Habitats of a large biodiversity of species are obviously being destroyed when rainforest areas are wiped out, therefore, resources for them can become scarce and they can die, possibly become extinct.  As in “Jared Diamond environment essay”, the author states “Bringing matters to a head was climate change.  Deforestation certainly had a severe impact on our climate and weather.  Trees play a role on absorbing most or at least some of the greenhouse gases, therefore, by having less trees a larger amount of portion of these gases accumulate in the atmosphere and create more damage to it, increasing global warming.  Rainforests also help perpetrate the water cycle, moister making its way to the atmosphere.           My opinion on fixing this issue if of course the only, to stop, decrease this act.  With human population dramatically increasing, the resource is going to rise in demand even higher then currently in the future. I doubt it, especially if businesses doing this are receiving piles of money from deforestation.
