Motif

In the beginning of the year i did not even know what motif is! I was thinking to myself wow i feel really dumb. When i did the summer assignment i sort of got what it meant when we had to look it up and give examples but it took me a while. So when i found out that we were doing motif for To Kill a Mockingbird i didn't know what i was going to do since i didn't understand it.

To Kill a Mockingbird really helped me understand motif since you explained it a little more than it was to me before. I got to have examples and do it myself so it helped me really understand the concept of motif. The motif in To Kill a Mockingbird would be "Its a sin to kill a mockingbird" There is a quote in the book that says "Well it'd be sort of like killing a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" Which is referring to the possible bad things that could happen in a situation.

Life Lesson

One thing that my parents have always told me in always communicate, meaning that you should tell what you are doing and when so they know what is going on. If you don't tell some of these things then your parents may get worried because you didn't tell them what time you were going to be back from Oregon with your friend.

I thought of this as something to use because i have had it happen to me recently. I went to a swim meet and my mom just assumed that it was a home meet at evergreen, when it was in Seattle. So then when she was texting me she flipped out on me because i didn't exactly tell her where it was because she just assumed. So after that she always tells me to communicate more so it doesn't happen anymore.
