Reflect upon the ACT Reading test.. What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are? How can you approve?
By reflecting on the act that I took on Wednesday, I think my weakness is not taking tests well because when I get a test I freeze up and I go over and beyond of what I’m trying to do or solve. Within the reading potion of the ACT, I notice that I was reading the whole passage first then go on to answering the questions which is not a very good thing to do because I will not have enough time to read five passages within the given time on the reading potion of the ACT. Also when I was answering the addressed questions of the ACT I notice that I had to keep going back into the passage to find the questions to each question which also take time to do on the test. My strengths on the ACT reading test is that I will scan instead of reading the passage to get an understanding of the passage then go on to the questions that I was assigned to me which is a very good tool because scanning the passage saves me time on the reading potion of the ACT which I can use the addition time if I have any to go back and look over my answers and change some answers or bubble in the questions that I have missed. The thing that I need to improve on is scanning the passage to get the main point of the passage and go to answering the addressing the questions because reading the passage will not to much of my time and I need all the time I can get in order to have a good score on the ACT.

Reflect upon the ACT English test.. What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are? How can you approve?
By reflecting on the act that I took on Monday, I think my weakness is not taking tests well because when I get a test I freeze up and I go over and beyond of what im trying to do or solve.when I get the test, I know the information but I also lost it because I be thinking about how will it affect my life and gpa. another weakness that I have about the act is that on the english potion on the test, I don’t read the paragraphs twice and when I read it I will read the first question and then answer based on my knowledge instead of reading first and then answer the question which I make some of the times. My strengths is that I will do the easier questions first then go back and do the harder questions last. I will understand the questions by knowledge that I have learned and cycle in the bubbles and do process of elimination which I do best on most test that I do period. The thing that I can improve is keep taking tests every single day till I master or over come test problems because it will help me to focus better and do better on the test and understand the concepts more on any test like the ACT. If it was not more Ms. Fuller and the teachers that I had in other years then I don’t know if I will be where I am now and I wanted to thank all my teachers that I had in my life most importantly Ms.Fuller, thank you for all your help and I will be ready to take the ACT in December.

Classify Characters
Classify Characters: Characters in the Illiad show courage in different ways. What courageous actions does each of the following perform? What is your reaction and opinion to their courageous act?
The question that I will be addressing in this blog will be Classify Characters: Characters in the Iliad show courage in different ways. What courageous actions does each of the following perform? What is your reaction and opinion to their courageous act? One character that I will be addressing to answer this question will be Agamemnon. The courageous actions that he performs are that he uses every opportunity to make others feel the effects of his. He always expects the largest portions of the plunder, even though he takes the fewest risks in battle. Additionally, he insists upon leading the army, even though his younger brother Menelaus, whose wife, Helen, was stolen by Paris, possesses the real grievance against the Trojans. He never allows the Achaeans to forget his kingly status. However, he remains fundamentally concerned with himself, and he has the cunning to manipulate people and situations for his own benefit. He does not trust his troops blindly, but tests their loyalty, When he commits wrongs, he do not go out of control and frustration like Achilles, but out of amoral, self-serving cunning. For this reason, Homer’s portrait of him ultimately proves unkind, and the reader never feels the same sympathy for him as for Achilles. My reaction and opinion to Agamemnon courageous act is that he is character that act first and thinks twice before doing things because he is a determined person who will strive to win the battle with fewer risks that it will takes. To me that seems like a lazy way of winning the battle but it works for Agamemnon. His cunning and loyalty makes everyone understand him when he is doing things like thinking for strategies within the war.
The next person that I will be talking to will be Achilles. Achilles possesses superhuman strength and has a close relationship with the gods, he may strike modern readers as less than heroic. They say (Achaeans) that he has marks of a great warrior, and indeed proves the mightiest man in the Achaean army, his driven primarily by a thirst for glory makes him a courageous character because he yearns to live a long, easy life, but he knows that his personal fate forces him to choose between the two. Ultimately, he is willing to sacrifice everything else so that his name will be remembered from everyone including his friends, family, and loved ones. To continue to become who is, his bloodlust, wrath, and pride continue to consume him. My opinion or to their courageous act for this character is that Achilles is a person who will kill you for his pride and honor.he will help people and the ones he loved only to help himself, his courageous act is that he is the type of person who let his pride and honor gets the best of him every time he go to war with is brother Agamemnon and that’s why I think of Achilles a person who let his pride and honor gets the best of him.
