Hello Advanced class! For your first assignment, you will describe your shortcomings. In literature, a shortcoming of a character is called a character flaw. A character flaw is "a limitation, imperfection, problem, phobia, or deficiency present in a character who may be otherwise very functional." To start, look at the bottom of page 39 in your Summit 2 book. Then, once you've reflected on your possible shortcomings, reply to this post as a comment and write 2 or 3 of your shortcomings by Monday 1/24/11. We will then use these shortcomings to complete our first project on Monday. For more information about Character Flaws, please click the link below. It will open on the same page.

I analized exercise from book and realized that few problems from the book might be also my problems.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting angry easily - this one is for sure my biggest problem. Another one is probably low self-confidence. Sometimes I don't belive in myself.
Marta- I think a lot of people who come to the United States have confidence problems. I think this is directly related to the lack of knowing the language spoken. However, it surprises me that you don't believe in yourself sometimes. You always look so in control. I get angry easily too. What do you think you could do to stop getting so angry so quickly? Some people say you should count to ten, but I find this hard to do.
