Blog #5

I say the fact that I was able to share out my dream of wanting to become a vet and others get to read about it and how it possibly started. I liked how I was able to choose something that wasn't human or wasn't alive because I was able to make a college that I'm working to get into as my American icon. I also like how others are able to choose someone/something that didn't make such a major difference in America, which is how I was able to choose a college, UC Davis. I say that Using action verbs is a helpful writing tips to use. Using action verbs makes the writing more exciting, for example instead of putting "The monkey climb the tree to get to the bananas" you'll put "The monkey climbed the tree to get to the bananas."
It was hard to fit everything into only one page because I had a lot to write about, yet I was only allowed to put in a certain amount. It was difficult to shorten everything I was trying to get out in one page and fit the requirements. I think that the M.M.E (make meaning early) was quite difficult for me to use in the artist statement. When I read over my paper, it didn't see any paragraph where I used M.M.E.
"James Herriot, known as James Alfred Wright was born on October 3, 1916 in England. When he was 23 in 1939, he qualified as a veterinary surgeon and in 1940; he took a small job at a veterinary practice. He soon then wrote 8 famous books about vets and animals. Sadly he died in February 1995." I was wondering if, should add more to this part? If so, how? Explain more about him being a vet? about his practice?
