  • The basis of this story is talking about the end of what is seen as the continents, hence the title. 
  • It starts talking about the equinox, the equinox is "the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator" also, day and night are of equal length.

Introduction to my life

Hello everyone, my name is Evan Karwowski and I am currently attending my second year at Los Medanos College. I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration. After my third year I am going to transfer to San Francisco State University to obtain my bachelor's degree. On top of college I am also obtaining my real estate license. I will be a buying agent and a listing agent, with the help of my dad. Originally I was planning on being a filmmaker, however that became more of a hobby. In high school I made a western short film called "A gunslinger's tale" and in our school showcase my group and I ended up winning 5 awards, 3 of which applied to me. The 3 that I was awarded with was best cinematography, best sound design, and best overall short film. The reason I am not pursuing a a degree for film is because if it was a career I wanted, I would not really need a degree.

Week 4 Analysis: Sarah Eleanor Royce

Project Brainstorm

Topic 1: p ick a subject: love, work, freedom, etc. Then choose two selections and discuss how that subject is discussed in those selections. Use literary devices to help frame your discussi on.   The reason I would choose this subject is because of the opportunity that writing this has. What I mean by this is they are very open subjects that speak volumes to me. Using literary devices I can most definitely meet the requirements for the posts when speaking about love, work, and freedom. To me, I feel they even all tie together which is why I feel a connection to it. I love love, I love work, and I love freedom, they are all things that I am passionate about and they really speak to me. Topic 2:  From a piece of fiction (short story, section of novel, or a play) choose a female character on whom to focus, and create a project that discusses some of the following questions:  What is the author’s attitude towards her? (how can you tell?) What is your attitude towa...
