My Goals

On my next academic grades ,what I set my mind to is to get my citizenship grades better for the following courses :laguage arts and latino history. I have a C on those two and I plan for my attendence to get better because that made my citizenship grade a bit low for those two courses.My social or personal I want to be able to teach my son Noah 2 new words because he learned how to say "Go" and "Mamma",and now for everything he wants to say Go. :)

Final Review

What I enjoyed about the book A Piece of Cake was that this book was very real and I thought it was very interesting because Cupcake has soo much surreal things,like things that happen in the real world. Im usually not a big reader but ever since I came in to Lindsay I was very intrested in books, speacially Memoirs, like A Piece of Cake.I also enjoyed the fact that the book had very personal information,I never thought I could find a book that i could actually be so interested in.Last but not least I would recomend this book to any one in life who feels they need help and it could give them the courage to get the help that they need.

Responding to Cupcake's Memoir

2. Did this book change your life in any specific way, or perhaps, cause you to think differently about certain issues? If so, what and how?

I don't think this book changed my life in any specific way, I think it just made me realize how lucky I'm to have the life that I have,It did cause me to think differently about a couple of things such as hanging out with the wrong crowd at the wrong time, doing drugs, I mean we all have our ups and downs and our good and bad,but as I can see by reading this very interesting book is its all in your hands,you have the choice!Another thing i thought I had it bad in life,but as I see Cupcake's life how shes running up and down in her life with the drug use,abortions and getting raped was just another thing in life that I'm just very lucky that i have the most supporting people in my life and this work assignment has made me thank my mother in many sort of ways,Cupcake's life is so differently than mine and I appreciate so many things in life,and I'm so glad that I've met my wonderful teachers,I hope your reading this Dawn,I appreciate the hard work you do.

E.Coli was an outbreak of foodborne , a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration.

E. Coli is a eubacteria. Archaebateria is what you would normally find in extreme places such as undersea volcano vents, extremely acidic waters, and very salty seas (in the olden times, they were known to cause spoilage since eubacteria cannot survive these conditions). Eubacteria are the most abundant and the most common.

5.How is it diagnosed?

E. coli is usually confirmed by the detection of the bacteria in a stool specimen from an infected individual. Most hospital labs and physicians know to test for this particular bacteria, especially if the potentially infected individual has bloody diarrhea.

6.How is it treated?

Im not shure usually you have to go to your docter and get your stool tested and then see what goes on from there.

Characterization

Dot would be considered a subordinate character in this chapter because either way Cupcake said in her book that beeing the hustler she is,she sooner or later she'd find another way.A subordinate character means a less important character who he or she doesnt affect the plot.Dot was never a important character to Cupcake,she was more like a side dish to her.Dot is not important to the plot.

An example of a dynamic character would be a very important character in the book, which is her non-boilogical father who she calls "Daddy" I believe that he is a dynamic character because he changed a big role in the book,since in the begining from the book when Cupcake was a child

Cupcake's newest conflict

Cupcake's newest conflict is that shes living with her Daddy and three hos:Sam,Slim,and Wonda.She moved in with her dad and all they ever do is use drugs.I believe that the literary conflict for this chapter is person vs. society,because shes out there trying to change but the socitey and people she lives around with are a very bad influence.I think her current living situation will result as eather he getting a over dose or some one in her home dying and or just some thing real big is going to happen.I think Sam(her dads girlfriend) is hidding something from them.
