Process of Holler Paper
The first thing that I did when I wrote this paper is made the paper read like an outline. That told me my outline was good but the paper was not. When I was told that my paper was not written well, I felt a bit of disappointment. So, I took a base of action and talk to my teacher on how I should write it which helped a lot.
When I began to rewrite my essay on my chapter I reread my notes and put that plus what my teacher said together. I had a lot to say about my chapter since it reflects mainly on his relationship with his mother. As I was sitting their typing away I began to feel Tupac’s pain.
When I was talking to my teacher about what I should write and she gave me lots of examples, which helped write about my chapter. Since I did it wrong the first time I wrote it, I had to start over completely. Starting an assignment over completely makes me feel horrible, because I put a lot of effort in the assignment. On the other hand starting an assignment over is kind of good because you now know what not to do.
I also learn what I should put in the essay and what not to put in the essay. I decided to use some of the same things but not all. In my mind some of the things I said in my outline were quite accurate. I decided to keep my poem in because it goes with the title of the chapter I was doing. The chapter was very touching because of the type of relationship he had with his mother.
In conclusion, I think my paper turned out pretty good since I hade to write it twice. It made it seem easier since I knew what I should and should not put in. Tupac’s life was quite out of the ordinary at least for my taste of what a childhood should be like.

Was Tupac forced in the life he had or did he choose it himself?

I believe he did not have a choice because of the lifestyle he had at home. He was forced to become independent at an early age. I also, think that uit only made him stronger as a person. A he grew up he decided how he wanted his life to form. I believe you are the person runing your life. Some people say they rather let nature take its course and lets just see what happens. I believe you have to make things happen for yourself. One line I always hear is that you have to be your own advocate.

So, for my conclusion of what I think of this question I believe Tupac made his life the way he wanted it to be after he went through his horrible childhood.

Free write on the poem What Is It That I Search 4

In the poem "What is it that i search 4," talks about searching for a certain something and not knowing if you find it or knowing what to do if he or she achieves there mission. It says at least to me your heart maybe blinded as you figure out what you r searching for. Sometimes it may take years to figure it all out. No one knows why it takes that long it could just be the way of life. As everyone searches for the answer for what they are loking for there is a sign of relief when the answer is found. Why do people come to conclusions right away.
