A Little About My Self.

       Where can I start? My name is Bianka but I go by Ebelin, I am the only girl out of my siblings; which means I have always wanted a sister but in reality that never happened. I am the second child, I and my older brother were brought to the US when we were at such a young age, born in Mexico, Salamanca Guanajuato, but raised in the US. My parents brought us here to have a better life than what they did, years after, my mom delivered my two younger brothers. I’ve never really had a real memory of where I was born but my parents say that is a very beautiful and peaceful place but that was back then, time has actually changed because now is not that peaceful anymore, there’s a lot of dangerous crimes going on; But where I was Raised I know a lot!. Is such a basic place where I was raised and that would be Houston, TX, I mean don’t get me wrong I love it and all but the only thing I hate is how bipolar the weather can be or how bad the 290 freeway can get. I was raised in the Spring Branch area where most people know most people. My mom would tell me that when I was little I would always brag on how I will be a doctor when I grow up because I hate seeing her when she was at her worsts.

       During my school years I considered myself a tomboy believe it or not, I personally do not hang out with girls a lot because they are too girly even though I’m a girl I’m just not into all the girly and women up stuff; I would prefer wearing whatever clothes I want, I only dress up like an actual girl(dress, makeup, etc) if it wasn’t for my mom and my cousins I would always be on my boy/basketball shorts and my hoodie and let’s not forget about my long socks. I love doing a lot of things and love being competitive. One of my hobbies is playing the piano for fun, I play it when I have nothing to do or when I have time on my hands. People would never see me playing in the orchestra but I surprisingly played for five years and I wasn’t in the intermediate orchestra I was in advance orchestra, played the viola, you can say I’m a total dork now even though I was never smart in school. I love the music and that is a big part of who I am, I listen to music 24/7 I honestly can’t live a day without it. Being good at something it takes passion and love, to be that good at it; one of those other things is me playing Tennis, yes I play tennis. Played Tennis for 3 years and was in the varsity team, top five varsity girls number two to be exact, as you can see I like to brag a lot. Another thing that people would never see coming from me is that I LOVE playing video games, one of my favorite games of all time since forever is Call Of Duty, Black ops 2.

      My goal after Blinn is to become a firefighter and save lives, I’ve been wanting to become a firefighter ever since I started working at H-E-B. Every weekend fire stations will come to my job and sometimes all of the sudden they will get a call and that inspired me that no matter what is going on and what is happening you can stop and go help. Well, that in my self and my life, I don’t really like introducing myself but I just did!.

Charles M. "Blows" Thesis.

 In Charles M. Blows "Library Visit, Then Held at Gunpoint", he knows how to really get into people’s mind and make them feel what he is feeling by delivering a successful thesis. In the article "Library Visit...". the perspective of the student and parent are frightened. The student was frightened because he did not know why he was being detained, the parent was frightened because they didn’t know if their son was going to be in danger. This makes people feel at home because it makes them show how the parents worry about their child’s safety. In the article, the article states in the title as “Held at Gunpoint” but in paragraph one he states that “He had been accosted by a campus police officer, at gunpoint!”, this comes to show just how fast he comes to put another strong word and really change the tone of the story. 

    Later on, in the article, it says "The officer raised his gun at me, and told me to get on the ground. I stopped looking at the officer looked down at the pavement, dropped to my knees, and laid on my stomach. I got up slowly, I was scared, my legs were shaking." This quote comes to show how it brings suspense to the article and brings it close to the thesis.

    Overall in my opinion Blow had a more successful way into delivering his thesis statement because he really knows how to get into detail within the topic which is good for what he’s trying to prove about the topic. He really knew how to make us think and wonder, it depends on how you want to view the story.
