Ah, yes, feedback. Feedback is something that is so powerful to people, it can be so constructive, and even somewhat destructive. What makes good feedback is delivery. It is important for us as human's that have the growth mindset to have feedback, however, it needs to be delivered right. There are several people who give out feedback very bluntly, and it can come off as rude. When someone receives feedback that comes off as rude, they tend to reject the feedback that can be very vital to there growth. When we give feedback in a kind, and well worded way, we can help the person grow because they become less defensive. I think it is important to explain why you are giving certain pieces of feedback, to help the person understand further why you are giving them this kind of feedback.

(how can you tell?) What is your attitude towa...

The story I read this week and decided to write a Literary Analysis on is Coyote Cooks His Daughter .   One powerful literary device that was used in this story was the use of Imagery. As I was reading this story I could vividly picture what was going on in this story. I think what helped with this was the use of repetition. The way they would repeat several words, like “his ears he twitch-twitch-twitched”. This could have easily been accomplished similarly if the words “he twitched his ear” were used, however, it wouldn’t create the same level of imagery. When you are forced to read a word several times, it really strikes in your head the image they are trying to convey. With all of the repeating words in this story you can easily understand and picture the story. In this story, I feel as though there are 2 underlying themes; sometimes you have to do drastic tasks in tough situations, and actions will have consequences. The most important theme I am going to talk about is action...
