I feel like this class was fun, well at the end at least. I enjoyed the professor on certain days just as I'm sure she felt the same way. I met some new people and I've come to meet new friends and so and so. I think it kind of was stressful trying to learn a full semesters worth of work in five weeks. Thats a lot of information to process in ones mind all at once. I feel like this experience gave me a starter mind set of college and only gave me a sample of whats to come in the years later. This class has showed me ways to write my papers in a more proper way and taught me how to proof read over other papers including my paper itself. I really think that i'm going to like college a lot but all I need to do is keep my head in the books like the professor is trying to make me do already. I enjoyed the class a lot and the teacher also. I feel like to a certain extent, that she is just like us, just with more authority. This time that was spent this summer in college have prepped me for the fall and I am ready.

Library Experience

When I walked in the library this morning, I was thinking that we had an easy assignment to turn in or work on, but all we had to do was search for resources that would help us with our argumentative essays that are due Wednesday. Looking for the books was the hardest part of this experience. We had to find the right books that suited our topic and was made for the information that we needed to put down in our paper. Its like all the books that we needed were right there in our face but we just didn't know which one was the one that we needed to check out for information. I have never had that much trouble looking for a book a day in my life. I'm use to just looking based on authors last name or the books title or something around that area. I never actually had to go and look for a code then travel down at least 3 rows of bookshelves just to find out that the book that we needed was already taken or just misplaced and put in the wrong spot which makes it harder for us to find the book. Overall, this library experience wasn't all that I expected.

Argumentative Essays (Part 2)

today we talked about how to write our essays and make it strong. Some helpful information was given today that I think is gonna lead me down the right track to make a good essay that's going to be informal. Things that I have trouble with is keeping my essay on the same topic throughout the whole paper. I can keep in on the same subject but I just can't keep it flowing. We were told about the issues of Definition meaning to give us the exact prompt that you are going to follow by. That's something that I needed to know because sometimes I can't give exactly what the prompt is, but more of a sample. Then we talked about the issues of Causation and Evaluation. The issues of Evaluation is when you argue whether something is good or bad; right or wrong; better or worse. I can follow that one because I can argue good depending of if its good or bad. Other people may have an opinion and say opposite but that's how I feel. Then the main thing that we was told was "Support your argument with evidence."

Argumentative Essays

When you writing an argumentative essay, make sure you remember to not worry about trying to win the argument, more about trying to get your point across to the audience and whoever is hearing or reading your work. For example, I'm doing my essay on War and the things that war can do to the people around you. When I say war, I'm not basically directing it to war in the fields such as military wise or group wise, I'm saying war in general. People can be in war with themselves mentally dealing with issues that the people around that one individual can't see is going on with them and that could be a problem in the long run. War is basically a conflict, not physically, not mentally, just a conflict. It can be between two groups or simply one person depending on whats going on in their lives that we, the people around them, cannot see. I've been in war with myself and others but being at war with ones self is probably the worse, because even if you win, you lose if you think about it because someone has to lose in this situation

Burned Out Minds

In our society today, technology is taking over with everything that we have. Its crazy because children are growing up with the wrong impressions, soaking up the wrong information to grow up with. They watch television and look at the wrong things which makes younger children without the proper mind frame, soak in all of the wrong things. I think that children can't control the way that they act depending on the things that they saw on television unless there was a parent involved in making sure it was okay... and still even with that, it still could be harmful. I just think that children should stay in there rating because media does this for a reason. I've been in situations where I played a 7 year old in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 ONLINE! That game is nothing but killing and blood and everything a 7 year old shouldn't be exposed to. The crazy thing was that he was talking as much shit as I was. Kids need to stay in the PG rating that are younger than thirteen. Never go above your rating because it may damage your mind in the wrong way.

1965 A Year to Remember

this is the final chapter to end this amazing book. I liked the way that it ended to be honest. i don't think that this book could've ended any better. Well the chapter starts off good. Turns out that Shadrack is alone and lonely since Sula died. the reason that he feels alone is because Sula was basically the only one that came to see him at his house. she enjoyed being his company even when it wasn't for sex. Sula was basically the only friend that Shadrack had and since  she is gone, there is no one left for him to be with. Nel ended up going to talk to Eva because she wanted to see how she was. While she was at her visit with Eva, she realized a whole bunch of things that made her mad at herself due to the fact that she took the situation to a whole other level and didn't really take the time listen to what Sula had to say to her. Sula told Nel that Eva was mean and crazy but Nel thought Sula was lying just out of spite and wanted to get rid of her and that's why she put her in the nursing home but that really wasn't the case. She found out that she went her life thinking that she was living a good life, but in reality, she was living a bad one. She was glad when Teapot drowned and she was the first to joke about it which was mean because we all thought that she was the good and innocent one.
