After Apple Picking

After Apple Picking

What is intrinsic and extrinsic motivation? Intrinsic motivation is when someone does something to benefit themselves. Extrinsic motivation is when people do something for their image. In the poem “After Apple Picking” by Robert Frost the poem conveys intrinsic motivation by using metaphors “The wood chuck could say weather it’s like his long sleep, as I describe its coming on or just some human sleep”. The message Frost conveys is that people can be satisfied in the beginning but might get tired in the end of life.

The poem explains how we should not go threw life doing what we hate but enjoy what we do in life. The poem “After Apple picking” uses metaphors to explain to us how we should go threw life doing what we love. “And I keep hearing from the cellar bin the rumbling sound, of load on load of apples coming in” Frost conveys a sense of exhaustion in his life by telling us that there are so many apples that have been picked over the season. Frost states “I’m over tired of the great harvest I myself desired”. Frost is saying he has worked so hard and now he is tired of the harvest he did desired a while ago but now he does not desire it no longer.

 In the poem “After Apple picking” Frost is explaining the way you can live life with some regrets and they might not realize them until the end.

If I could change

One thing I wish I could change would be my studying habits. As a student at ECHS I know how important it is to study. I want to be able to have good studying skills. Studying skills are important so that I can have prior knowledge before I take a test or quiz . I want to have good studying skills so that I will not be clueless on a test and so that I can get good grades. I know that it is going to take steps to a better studier but it will be worth the effort. Right now I would say my studying skills are not all that good but I still have room to improve. My goal is to be able to have all A's in my classes, I'm going to work super hard this year to improve.

My fav hobby

What is my favorite hobby ? One of my hobbies is performing. I am a performer, and I love to sing and dance. Singing to me is an expression of feelings. I sing when I am happy and when I am sad. Singing also makes me feel better when I am not in a good mood. As a performer I do not only sing I dance too. My dancing is an expression of emotion and rhythm it also tells a story. I dance ballet, contemporary, and hip hop. I do not know how other people dance but when I do I have to close my eyes and imagine what I want to dance. When I dance, it feels like an escape from the world like I am free. I feel like a bird soaring threw the sky. Singing and dancing helps me get threw the sky. Singing and dancing helps me get three hard times and when I feel alone. Performing is my voice my expression on how I feel.

Music 

Thalia <3

          There are so many different genres of music. I listen to all types of music but I can say my favorite type of music is hip-hop. I like hip-hop music because of all the different beats. As a dancer its important to listen to the beat of the music and the rhythm. Music to me is an escape from the world and all my problems. I do not have a favorite singer because I listen to so many different types of music it is so hard to choose. I listen to rap, classical, jazz, rock, pop, hip-hop, Christian, and many more. I can say music can heal a person. For many people music is an escape and an expression. You can find out many things about a person by listening to the type of music they like. Music is an expression of emotion it can make you happy, sad, or mad. I like the fact that I was named after a famous singer and I love music. I can say that I cannot live without music it is a big part of my life. Music is an expression and a characteristic that makes me, me.
