Fantastic, I really new things for me to know about writer history of the united state.
It over a hundred authors featured here represent the evolution and flourishing of American writing.
Most of the book really interesting and was very readable. And now I know to become each book it really difficult, because those of book writing by typewriter so it very difficult to erase if you type something wrong. Also, I really surprise after I saw old typewriting. 

Americans Writers Museum



Our visit to the Americans Writers Museum with all my classmates and Professor. We saw many interesting things there. When I went there, I realized that how writers shared their feelings and thinking in words. And after their writings, how new technology displayed their writing in decoration pieces. Even in the museum, they make things easy for visitors. Now, every visitor can see their favorite writers books easily. The museum is very convenient in many ways. However, it's open to the public and near public transportation. It's such a good place in downtown, where we can go easily and learn some interesting things.

What I learned in this museum are new words, typewriting and more interesting is listened to a story in writers voice. I played with the words on a screen. It was really great with playing words and did the challenges with classmates. During playing I learned so many new words. I combined my words and wrote a quote on a typewriter. Which was really interesting and amazing. I haven't used a typewriter before, I used the first time and it was a great experience. In the last, I heard a story in writers voice. In the museum, they plugged the phone in screens to listen to the writer's voice. It's very easy to listen the proper words and learned how to pronounce hard words in the quote or story.

In Conclusion, The Americans Writers Museum is such a good place to visit. It helps to learn and know about writers and new books.

American Writers Museum

         The other day my classmate went to the museum, but I could not go, and I did by myself. The museum was a small place located in Downtown Chicago where you could see many writers of the ancient history of the USA. People in the ancient history of the United States fought for their human rights, for their Native Americans and for immigrants one of them was Vine Deloria Jr. One of the many things I learned from the AWM how the typewriter evolution was. It was about the typewriter of Keller Helen and John Lennon. They used a typewriter that was different. For example, Keller Helen had her special typewriter for blind and deaf people where she wrote many books and she also won an award for her books. Another typewriter was John Lennon where he wrote many songs with that typewriter. Another interesting of the museum for me was Word Waterfall. I could see many interesting phrases for the life and I also took a picture one of them. I learned many things about the old history of the United States.

American Writer Museum

The American Writer Museum takes place in the heart of the Downtown of Chicago on the second floor of a building located on Michigan Ave. Unfortunately, that building does not have any advertising sign on a street, for this reason, you need to pay attention when you are looking that because you could easily be lost. The crew from Museum is friendly and respectful and they give you all the instruction that you need during your journey. 

The American Writer Museum was actually the first museum I have read most of the chart in its exhibitions. At first, I read many writers in the timeline walls since Colonial Vision to modern concepts and I found out how those writers made details descriptions about different time periods using romantic, heroism, religions, patriotist senses and also modern’s concept such as vegan. Them, I exited when I was in front of word waterfall and I got some great phrases from there, in particular, “O, let me land be a land where liberty is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe”. My aha moment happened when I found out what was the first book sold by Amazon? because it was a book about Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought, I hope to do not read that book for a long time. 

In addition, I really enjoyed the section named “History of the day”, although I could not find a funny history and I only read phrases like “help me...” or “My name is”, I will not forget the great experience I had typing on the old keyboard from the typewriter. One of my first thought of that keyboard was how hard it was to write an essay to English 100. I plenty sure that I never change the keyboard from my age. I took my time in this section because I appreciated the challenges that writers needed overcame to write by typing. 

To conclude, The American Writer Museum is a fine place to spend the weekend and I have the opportunity to get another point of the history around the world, furthermore, it is pleasure to me to earn many voices from Chicago’s writer too. Finally, you make sure to come with desires to read.

American writers Museum Reflection

        In our visit to the museum I realized that this is an amazing place because it is very convenient in many ways such as the suitable place at downtown, we can lean about many writers who we do not have idea they exist, also we can learn interesting facts about important people in the U.S.A history.

We can see that the museum is very convenient due to it is close to the train station in downtown and almost everybody likes to spend time at downtown, it is not expensive, and it is a great place to have a good time with the family and friends at the same time we can learn. The exhibition is distributed in a creative and fascinating ways like quotations, games, time line, banners and the flipping blocks that it's not boring to read about many writers.

What I learnt is that they have information regarding  American writers since the colony period like John Smith, and interesting facts about important people in the U.S.A history like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin who were the main authors of the  Independence Declaration among others. A surprising fact for me was about John Lennon who wanted to become U.S.A citizen but for political issues it was no possible, also the fact that America has many female writers from different backgrounds like Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), Ann Lander (1918-2002), and Sandra Cisneros (1954- now 64 years).

To conclude the American Writers Museum is a great place to know more about U.S.A history and its writers in amusing way. I hope be there soon with my family.

 

Beyond My Expectation!

Beyond My Expectation!

Museum is not really popular in my home country. When first I heard about the visit to a museum, I felt so excited. Alhtough I had to pay some money that not small for me, I was still excited about it. I could not wait what I would see in the museum. Surprisingly, it was a writer museum and I really love it. I am a person that appreciate work of art very well including the art of writing. For me, writers are genius and I really thankful that I have the chance to visit this writer's museum and learn little things about many different writers.

This museum was not so big, but there were many interesting spot in this place such as word play section, typewriter spot, but honestly I was not really impressed with those spot and I just play around to touch their interesting panel. One of my favourite part of the museum was the Mind of the writer. I read many different quotes from many different writers. One of the most I loved was a quote from L. Frank Baum. He was a children's books writer. And that quote came from one of his piece and said that we should never stop dreaming just like the children because the power of the dream made us more imaginative about everything including how to be a better person or how to make this world even better.

The other part of the museum that I liked was the American voices where I found a flipable things and I found a pocket watch and a comb inside there. At the beginning, I felt the it's so unique and I know that things there. Yet, I was so lucky because I met Gabriela there and she knew about the story behind that. The story tell about a poor couple that try to buy a christmas present for each other. Yet, they had each sold their own treasures to purchase the presents. I was very touched with this story!

Did you ever seem these?!

Last Friday, I spend a great time with my classmates and professor in American Writers Museum. I really love the museum. Although it is not quite a big one, there still have some interesting exhibitions. I got interested in Maya Angerlou in the part of American Voices pavilion. She was a dancer in night club, but later, she spends her life to against the apartheid in South Africa.

Then, I tried to type something on the typewriter. I must to admit, it was much harder than I type on computer. If I am typing something wrong on computer, I can delete in a easy way. However, you cannot do such things on typewriter, so you must be careful the spelling while you type.

Anyway, I still enjoyed using such interesting machines. These are both the two coolest things I met in the museum: word waterfalls and the 50's Fender's guitar! I send the picture of guitar to my band's guitar player and he nearly becomes crazy! That guitar was belonging to Bob Dylan, the winner of the Nobel Price of Literature.

I must bring my friend to this interesting museum next time!

American Writer Museum

I have never been to this museum before. I really thought it was cool to see games and old typing machines. I liked how I could walk around the museum by myself with no tour guide. I learned about Bob Dylan, who I did not know before. I even saw his guitar. I used the typing machine and I really liked it it was fun, even if it stuck. I also played that word game. My sentence was, "I destroyed her forever."

AMERICAN WRITER MUSEUM

The American Writer Museum was like the most amazing place i have every went to. The museum have a lot of activities about writing, writers, and novels , like the Road scroll, real, working typewriters,story of the day,palm trees, word waterfall,affordability,interactivity of exhibits,public programming etc.
 
 They was a lot of places that i never got to go. One of  the most interesting part  about american writer museum was the working typewriter right next to Kerouac's scroll are a few working typewriters that i can write my own story on . I am talking old school machines, like what my parents and grandparents worked on back in the days.Today, typing is done by our thumbs on a tiny screen or bu our voice talking into that same screen, so its a much more tactile experience and ive found it forces me to slow down and think about what i am typing. There's no autocorrect or 'Edit-Undo". So take the time, sit down and appreciate how writing use to get done, whether it's a new experience for you or an all-too-familiar one.

The another interesting part about the AWM's was the CHILDREN'S GALLERY. Children"s author story times are held in our Children's Gallery,a space dedicated to those first book we read- or are read to us. There are exhibits designed for children that allow them to experiment and have fun with words, as well as physical copies of many well-known children's books. The centerpiece of the Children's Gallery is a beautiful mural of a tree painted by award-winning author and illustrator Paul Zelinsky i browse the author out.

American Writer Museum

Welcome to my blog!!
I would like to share about my experiences from American Writers Museum. To be honest, I have never had any opportunity to study and research from a writing museum before. I was really impressed by their exhibition and collection about historical celebrities. I had chance to read about famous quote, take some information picture, and type my story on classical typewriter machine. This was an amazing memory about museum. 

  1. American Voices

Inside Museum, my favorite place was “The American Voices”. I chose Abraham Lincoln who was a great President and reputable politician of American history. He was raised in poverty and self-taught. In 16^th U.S president, Abraham became an ambitious politician and a masterful speechwriter. Before his reputation blew up, he also was a store owner, military captain, lawyer, and congressman. President Abraham succeeded in liberating slaves and stopping the civil war in America in 16^th. In his entire life, he was nonstop studying and learning. “He read all the books that he could lay his hands on”, His stepmother, Sarah Bush Lincoln remembered. He took note every passages or quotes as well in his handbook to collect. By his studying talented, he became a leader, a politician, a master writing, an author and a greatest President in the world.

3. The typewriter.

This the most interesting in the museum. It was really hard to type on it because this machine kind of old now. Typewriter showed me how hard to create a text back in the day and make me feel more respectful to literature productions in history. I typed my experiences in my first field trip and how I was impressed by celebrities and stories.

4. Quote of American Masterpiece.

5. The Word Play.

I created my own sentence about love.

6. Interacting with in the Mind Of A Writer Section

In Mind of a writer section, I loved typing on typewriter and playing with tech word play. By the way, I also took the picture of James Baldwin who was my favorite writer. 

7. Quote from Gloria Anzaldua
