End of the Road
I feel that the synthesis essay was the most difficult die to the fact that I have trouble grouping the documents together also because it was hard for me to transition to the next person. The argumentation essay was easy because I didn't know what strategy I was using for my outline but once I linked to the strategy and got more information how to better it I found it more easier. The Fall of the House of Usher was one of my favorites because I'm into scary stories and because he is very good as far as imagery and diction. Sleepy Hollow was my least favorite. I think your the best teacher ever and you've helped me as far as writing even though I'm still progressing but also I would like to thank you for your dedication to your students. You truly are the best Mr.Thomas!

Things They Carried
The vital physical items I carry is my purse and phone, both are two things I can't leave the house and not have with me. If I don't have both, all hell breaks loose especially if I get into trouble and can't call anyone or if my money is in my purse. My goal is to become a successful OBGYN and move to California and pursue my dream. I myself is my own guidance to achieve that dream. My mother is my role model. I've seen her sacrifice EVERYTHING for me and my sister and I want to learn what and what not to do based off her and throughout it all she is the strongest women I know and love. Outgoing, friendly and nice. Mostly everyone says I'm pretty cool and at times mean but they say I have a big heart also. I try to help people to a certain extent because I can't force people to do anything but I try not to be a mean person unless I have to. When I was in middle school and got evicted right before Christmas, we had no where to go and everything was rushed, because of this we barely got anything for Christmas and after that day I told myself I was most definitely going to achieve my dream of becoming a doctor and it showed me how much my mom sacrifice for us but also how she will make sure we have what we need even if she just have twenty dollars to her name.

The Fall of the House of Usher
Creating a story without using gory details. For example, the death is tragic and not a murder scene from the movie saw, also I would keep it original with the girl coming back from the dead and not something on the lines of voodoo is the reason she came back from the dead. I would even involve incest, but I would make it to where it wasn't straight forward, you would have to decipher the story or clues given to you. Using imagery would help you to describe your surroundings exactly like Poe did in the story too describe a day in Autumn. Even Poe makes his stories seem perverted (weird) would also be beneficial because it intrigues its readers.
Is there a third option?
Quite frankly I consider myself as as using both my ways and my family ways. There is nothing wrong with with adding your taste to your life but as long as you remember where you came from and remember that no matter how hard you try to distinguish yourself from your family culture, deep down that part will always remain inside you till the right moment. I don't think you have to choose one, you could just use both at an equal state.

Anti-Hero
Ichabod Crane is similar to Namor from the comics because just like Ichabod, he is arrogant, and selfish, but Namor uses his powers for humanity, but he still uses it for his personal gain. Ichabod, on the other hand, likes to manipulate people and use them for his personal gain also he is a gold digger too.

The Occult
Ju-on: The Grudge has been just like any other occult movie, with all of the haunted houses, supernatural, etc. Basically the movie is talking about a house with the supernatural still lingering on the inside. Directors now and days find the kick out of making movies based on the occult, only because America likes a good scare and also because directors like to keep them on the edge of their seats. Every horror movie is mostly based on the occult, not just Ju-on The Grudge but also Amityville Horror, An American Werewolf and so on and so for. They even have shows discussing the occult, for instance, I was watching TLC and the show I was watching was saying how Louisiana has vampires an in my head I'm thinking how could that be so, but that's just one of America's fascination with the occult world, but even then being obsessed with the occult still scares us senseless into believing all of these things movies portray is real when in actuality its just what we make up to keep us scared.
