Pit bulls attack ::

I believe that dogs and humans should not recieve the same punishment for killing a person. Humans gte put in jail and dogs should be put to sleep. the penalty should be put ont he dog owner as well because they are the ones not treateing or caring for that animal right. if a dangerous dog it should be kept away from stray people, when you stop that you stop the attacks on humans. yes these attacks have changed my opinion about the dogs, when i see a put bull and it is growling at me i am going to run and try to stay safe i would nto want to be bitten by one of thoes dogs i understand their intincts and i do not want to be buried because of a dog attack. Dangerous dogs should have sings up of where they are staying to warn people. They should also be put on collars and chained up. That way no one can get attacked and if they do they are the ones provoking the dog to bite them and that is thier fault.

1. Sanders goes out of the way to detail the story so you can get a clear and vivid picture of how to build the wall. Each step is clearly stated like a blue print in your mind. Sanders does not want to leave any questions in peoples minds.

2. Sanders needs chronological to show building blocks for his steps . He brings history into his work as buliding blocks so when you tap back into your memory you can have each step with each past attached to that memory.

3. Dawn stones are the unworked stones that served as hammers in the old times. He uses it in this essay as a example of a great time leap our society has taken. Still having no great distance in design or imagintion.

News Prompt 9/23

Myspace/ Facebook in our lives.

I believe that the facebook problem is out of control. it is taking over our lives. I mean for it to go away the internet would have to shut down on us FOR GOOD! it is definatly going to be around for a long time, it is needed for people to go about daily activity.

Facebook is a good networker for people. It really does connect people together. For instance when i came to nova i applyed to the nova group and that is how i meet many people who i was going to school with. the down side is that when you are taking on a serious major your future bosses are pulling up your information and if they dont liek what they see you are not getting the job you really want and worked hard for.

I think the fact that people want to see what someone wrote to them or how many friends they ahve or see the amount of people who want to be friends with them is making this site addictive to many poeple. Facebook addicits people because you can see what all your friends are doing liek pictures and wirtting. It acutally is a freaky stalker website !

What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must “invent the university” when they write in college?

What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become “insiders” within academic discourse?

Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae’s opinion of these examples.

Answers ::

1. Bartholomae ment that students must find themselves when they write. The creativity lies within them as a person and when you dig down and reveal your true writting that bascially your classroom that you invented yourslef in.

2. To wirte and find out who they are and who they are not. The academic discourse is pretty much your personality or ways that make you tick.

3. The first essay was more about invintng the university but not truly knowing yourslef or your inner creativity it was just a surface scrape. The second essay really got deep into the person and brought out the creativity in that individual.

Revised Draft .. #2

Many activities in life bring you down or build you up. Life can change in a matter of minute or even seconds. The real question is you ready to handle what comes your way? Situations have made me stronger; the things thought I would never get over actually turned out to make me stronger and a better person. All the faults in my path made me a great person. My family you could say is a big part of my strength. They are a big unit that keeps me working toward my goal every day. When I get depressed or feeling like I can’t go on I know I can call my family and be able to get right back on track to complete my goal. You could say that what I believe in is strength. "Strength is born in the silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid Joy" said Arthur Helps is what I live by every day.
I believe my strength is the greatest thing I have going for me. My schedule is packed with tasks that must be done. I juggle being a successful student and a successful athlete. I have to make my parents happy with my grades, and then make my coach happy at the same time. There is no time for play it’s all hard work than right to bed for the next busy day I have to complete……….. I go to practice than class and when I get back from class I am off again to clinical rotations. I have hard days almost every week wanting to quit and just go to sleep. I dig deep inside myself and know that I have the power to continue the days and see the great game days or many beautiful days. My friends are sometimes apart of my strength and the reason why I question it. Moving down to Florida was a strength all on its own and living in a beautiful country Greece. Yes for sure it is very hard but I know I can do and be the things I want to be and that are strength in confidence.
Of course that is just touching the surface of why I believe so strongly in my strength. I have been brought down to the deepest bottom of the bottle. I have felt that I could not get out of bed. I had a near death experience. When I was snowboarding two years ago I went off the jump and did a 360 in the air. The only problem is that I over rotated in that 360 and went off the slope over a rock and into a tree. I had instantaneous internal bleeding and thought I was paralyzed. I couldn’t move for 2 months. I thought I was down with sports and life. I gained movement in my body and realized that I wasn’t going to let that happen to me. Slowly I started moving more and more than I was back playing sports so I was back to normal. My strength was the only thing that got me through the hard times! That why I believe in it
When I was younger I depended on my family. Now I realized that all I need is myself my strength got me to where I am today and I know that whenever I am down I can just depend on myself. It is the only thing I have to get me from one day to the next

Technology

The news article informed us about how peoples lives are being taken by the advancement of technology in the world. Its is very bad for a study to be done about how many poeple died because of a tool people thought was better for communicating to eachother, texting. That is a trageity. I do believe that when the advancement of technology is so big that much work should be done to check if they are afer for our uses. I mean the mircowave is a wonderful invention but i dont want to have it if it is causeing brith effects for pregante women. Technology is great and im sure that we wouldn't be where we are today if we didnt have the many things we have. Its just terrible how the things we come to survive on every day of our lives end up hurting us in the end. People need to wake up and be smarter about thing. Of course you shouldnt be texting while doing something thats common sense, but for the other things only trust the technology you really need and is safe. You dont need a mircowave you can use the oven or stove. Technology only gets the best of us because we allow it to take over our lives and hurt us.

comment on in the news prompt 9/11

the main question was to be how could you support the troops but still stand to america and say that bush is not doing justice as president. Policitics is a crazy business. For you to believe in one thing and lead the country your family should believe in it to. Since you are one unit its best to tackle situations feeling the same other wise you would have a conflict of intrest in the whitehouse. It was wrong of mrs obama to say that to the world because no matter what you should always be proud of your country not ashamed because they werent doing good under your husbands "presidential hand".

It was amazing to see that both candidates who are totally differnt in their belives on lead the world come together to stand as one on american soil. They aggreed to stop all their tv ads and show that terrorists will not get the best of america. The 3,000 who died on this horrible day were remebered on this day. Obama oldy called apon americans to " renew the spirt of service and that sense of common purpose". he remined america that the terrorits responisble for the killing are still at large and must be stopped before there next horrible plan takes effect.

1. Smiley belived that it is not what you are forced to do by your parents its more of what you want to do that makes you into a better worker. She describes this by showing that she loved doing all the hard work for taking care of the horses. That impact would be significant to the story , it would make the purpose of the writting.
2. Her evidence is house chores or her husband. Her husband would wish he wasnt doing thoughs chores and dream that he was finished or do something else. Smiley was loving her horse chores and gettin joy out of doing all the hard work. No she is not athouritative she is informing us of her opinion and how chores worked for her. Smiley's audience is the intetion of gettin the parents to stop puttin chores on the children and sooner or latger they will find to do it themselves.
3. She uses the rehitroical questions to get the audiences mind thinking about how chores that are forced do no good for the work job and showing not so good work ethic doesnt build a better person. Her questions got my minf thinking and showed me her point of view and i do agree with it

1. Goldberg wanted to show that writting is not a format that you follow each time. It is something that comes from within and allows you to write freely. The best writting comes freely and thats the only way it comes out good on paper.
2. She had the audience of young people who are in the format of wrrittting in ceritan styles they are forced to.The audiences who are english majors would benifit. The ones who could care less about writting are the ones that will not be affected by her writting.
3. Writting freely is her subject in writting. She does not like a strong format , loose writting is the way to write a paper or get your feelings out on paper. She feels very strong about her topic or subject she is describing about in her writting.

Answers ::

The teacher had my class read a book and do a report on it for a midterm grade so that is why i had to respond to the reading i did in writting for a grade.

Writting is the best form for me because it helps me get all my thoughts and feelings on paper so i dont know miss what i am thinking about at that exact time. It helps get all my toughts organized. when you discuss something with another person you tend to take on their opinion as well as yours when you are writting its one view, your own view.

The type or writting i use was opinion writting. i used it to show how i felt about the book i just read and it showed my point of view not in a possessive way just in a way of expressiing my views.

My audience was my teacher and i wanted a friendly coffee talk in my writting. I didnt want to write anything to stern that it would throw off my view or make it unthinkingable to other people reading the book. My objection was get the point of how i felt about the characters and the situation they were placed in by the author.

My purpose was to show my teacher i had well understanding of what happened in the book and what the characters went through durring the chapters. I feel that i did accomplish my goal in making my teacher understand my point of view and my feelings towards the characters.

I drew onto the culture of poverty and starvation. It made me get into the authors head and really understand the pain the characters went through each day of their lives.

The rehitorical thinking for me is differnt i have never written that way before so when i did now it changed my opionion and view. Itg made it more structure rather than a free writting with ni purpose or thoughts.
