THE GRIFFPRENTICE
The Griffprentice was a project we had to do in Dr.Griffin's
class as a group. The project was we had to make a company to sell the novel we
got assign in class. My group novel was A Prayer for Owen Meany by John
Irving. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A TWO BEST FRIENDS, JOHN AND OWEN MEANY. OWEN A tiny dwarf, he has weirdly luminous
skin and an ethereally nasal voice. OWEN HAS A BIG CRUSH ON JOHN'S
MOTHER, SHE HELPS HIS GET INTO AN EXPENCE SCHOOL. HE BELIVE TO BE GOD'S
INSTRUMENT. JOHN A NORMAL BOY THAT THE ONLY THINK HE WANTS IS TO FIND WHO
HIS FATHER IS. HE MOTHER WAS GOING TO TELL HIM WHEN HE WAS READY BUT
UNFORTUNATELY SHE GOT KILLED. OWEN MEANY ACCIDENTALLY KILLS JOHN'S MOTHER, BUT
OWEN MEANY IS THE REASON JOHN BELIVES IN GOD. The novel was an interest book in my opinion,
that book it for only people who like to read and people who doesn’t judge the
book just for the first pages. The book wasn’t interest at the beginning at all,
but when you got in to it, it had a lot of details you never would've expect.
The project was about working in groups, we didn’t know we were choosing our
group when we’re choosing our novels. I didn’t have problem with that but I
just don’t like working with people that don’t work, it not fair for the other
people but this wasn’t the case this time. Dr.Griffin told us we had to choose a
rule/part for each person in the group. I was one of the workers at first, then
they put me as the novel manager because I was the only one who knew about the
book. But plans didn’t go as plan,
because I wasn’t here to present the project. I was about 36 week pregnant when
the project was assign, but I knew the baby would've come any minute and she
did. I gave birth to my beautiful angel Catalina during winter break. The week
we had to come back I had less than a week of just giving birth, there was no
way I could've attend. I was super upset because I knew I let my group down. My
group and Dr.Griffin knew there was a possibility I wasn’t going to be here and
there were understandable. I knew if I wasn’t here that they weren’t going to
do well in the questions because they didn’t know anything about the book. When
I come to school I heard they did kind bad in the questions. Like the person I
am with my school work I wasn’t happy, because the grade when to me to. I got an
email saying we got an C on the planning of the project, I never had a C before
so that made me upset because that was an easy A+. I'm the kind of person who
doesn’t like to leave everything to the last minute, I like to be prepare days
before. I think if I was here we would've done better. There no room for lazy
work in my calendar. I was in charge of doing the website, it wasn’t presented
because my group didn’t communicate outside the class. I know that was my fault but there was no way
I had to communicate with them during the break. To be honest the time I was
here my group lose a lot of time in things that weren't necessary or even about
the project but I wasn’t the president or the person in charge to say anything
or tell them to do their work. I didn’t get to see the Prezi or the questions.
I was disappointed in myself at one point. The project was a competition and we
got fourth place. The classmate were the ones voting with fake $100 bills that
Dr.Griffin gave them. He gave fake money
because he wanted to see what book the classmate would buy according to the
companies. It was upsetting I would say because we had the possibility and the
time to get first place and we didn’t, I don’t know why. When I was doing the website I toke time from
my free time to do it, my group didn’t do that they use the half the time in
class to do it the time I was there. I wish I could've been here and present
the project. Another thing is you can’t make a person work if they don’t want
to. When I came back to school I heard my team did horrible according to my
classmates. They left the Prezi to the last minute one of my group member told
me. To be honest this project was an easy A to get and to win if you put your
mind to it. I can’t change time and I couldn’t hold in my daughter if she
wanted to come out. I didn’t get the grade I wanted in the entire project but I
got something more precious and that’s my beautiful daughter so I there no way
I can be upset about that.
