  • Having worked on a major project in small groups, what have you learned to take with you to future small-group projects? 
      The most important thing I learned from this project is that communication outside of school is a very important part of the project, using email can be helpful especially if you don't have open work time on a certain day. Being aware of future assignments that are part of the project can also be really helpful, it's able to help with timeliness as well as having more time to improve and revise over the work. The last thing I learned from this project was to try as hard as you can to get your group members to do an equal amount of work, I didn't have to do this at all with my group but I can imagine what it would be like if group members didn't do an equal amount of work.

       In future projects, I'll have to improve what I did in this one, I worked well with my group but there were things that I had the opportunity to revise and work on more. In future projects I'll also try to use the same methods of communication as I did in this and I will try to look at the future assignments in the project so that I'm aware of what my group and I will be doing throughout.

Weekly Journal/Blog Assignment 9/29/17

Ashwin Dev Dr. Cobos ELA 27 September 2017 Why did Marjane's parents decide to send her to Europe? Do you think this was the right decision? Why or why not? (Harrison, Kim. "ELA 2015-2016") Sending Marjane to Europe was the right decision, in my opinion. The decision only had benefits to Marjane and not her parents or the rest of her family members but I'm sure that's what her parents were meaning to do. As time passed, Marjane started realizing more and more flaws and different problems in the ways that she was living, as well as situations that would put her in danger,  began to happen in a way that would definitely affect her. An example of this type of problem was on page 132 when the guardians of the revolution find her with clothing that was based on American culture. Marjane would most likely be able to wear that type of clothing in Europe whenever she wanted to. The last reason for moving to Europe being a good decision has to do with what happen...

Blog #3: Persepolis - Ashwin

Ashwin Dev Dr. Cobos ELA 27 October 2017 In what ways did Marjane find it difficult to fit back into Iranian society?  It seemed like Marjane wasn't used to all of the change in the people and places that were in Iran. You can tell that she tried really hard to forget about the bad things in her past, an example would be on page 245, once she puts on the veil she thinks about all of her individual and social liberty that she had in Austria. Putting on that veil had already reminded her of things she didn't want in life (wearing a veil, not being able to wear the clothes she wants, not being able to have parties, etc.) and that was only one of the things. From the point of Marjane coming back to Iran, it seemed like she was expecting everybody to be the same or similar to how they used to be. Her parents and grandmother aside, most times that she had met up with her past friends and people that she knew, it didn't look like she was too happy with the way that some of t...

TBWCD: Blog

Ashwin Dev Dr. Cobos ELA 22 February 2017 Think through the uses of red-orange color on pages 210- 211: Every color that has been used so far is present throughout the two pages. The only difference is that the red-orange bits are cloudier than usual. On other pages the colors are used to fill things in opposed to being something that stands out from the rest of the book. The two pages are about the defeat South Vietnam had against the North, I’m guessing the red-orange colors were supposed to represent smoke or what was left after the South had been defeated. The defeat had caused a very large amount of people to leave their home country. However, the defeat was good for some people but then again, not for others, for example Thi’s parents, who were ex-patriots. The colors themselves didn't change but where the colors were placed changed compared to the rest of the book, as mentioned before, the colors were used to fill in things.
