5th blog

        Hello everyone. I'm so glad it's Friday. This week has been very busy. I'm getting ready to research for my next essay for English class. The topic is Crime and Punishment. I think my topic is going to be about the Death Penalty and Casey Anthony. I don't know how I'm going to put everything together is my essay but I'll figure it out as I go along.

        On Monday my English class had to come up with topics for our next essay. We came up with some good topics. Once we said enough topics our English Professior let the class leave early. We also talked about the Death Penalty. The Professior asked the class how they felt about the Death Penalty. The class was divided. 50% were for it and 50% was againist it. I think heavy topics like the Death Penalty is hard to talk about.

        My first grammar schmammar is due today. For anyone who don't know what grammar schmammar is it is a group of grammar topics that we have to research. Than give aleast a 10 minute presentation/video. My Professior keeps encourging the class to do a video but no one has done it yet. My group was given two topics not by choice but by numbering. My first topic is Subject-verb agreement and my second topic is who/whom. That's due on April 15th. Wish me luck.

       Guess what everyone I'm finished writing my eassy. All I have to do is finish typing it. On Monday and Wednesday we went over our rough drafts in English class. We had to go into small groups and read to each other our rough drafts. I liked doing that because we gave each other some positive feedback. My first group had 4 people including me. Two of them picked the same topic as me but different scenarios and ther one chose fast food and obesity. I thought fast food was a good topic. Than my second group had a lot of different topics. Again of group of 4. There wasn't a whole a lot of people that day. One person wrote about dog fighting and the other one wrote about not having enough fundings for school activities. I thought that was a good one to. I can't remember what the other person wrote about. We gave each other a lot of positive feedback we didn't think about before. The one who wrote about dog fighting she showed us her picture of her dog. I didn't realize that I had a lot of grammar I had to fix. Reading our rough drafts in small groups helped me out a lot.

        Happy Valentine's day to everyone. Go out and enjoy yourself even if you don't  have an significant other.

3rd blog

     This has been a long week and today is only Thursday. I'm looking forward to the weekend even though I work. I started preparing and writing on my essay. My friend Tanya who is in my English class is helping me with my essay. We are helping each other. I would be lost if it wasn't for her. Our rough draft for our essays are due by February 11th and I just found out we don't have have class Friday. Yeah!!!! I can work more on my essay. I want to have most of the essay done by Sunday. My problem is citing an essay. I'm glad Tanya knows how to write it. My essay is about violent video games and how it effects youth generation.

     Yesterday my English Professor wrote sixty topics on the white board about Pop Culture for anyone who don't have any ideas on what to write about on their essay. I was glad to see my class interacting in a positive way instead of a negative way. My class likes to disagree on a lot of things. We started out on the wrong foot and that makes an impression about someone. It's like judging a book by it's cover before you read it. At least I know my class is opinionated and not shy!!!!

       I am so glad my English class came to an agreement about our argumentative essays. It took two English classes. I guess it could have been worse. Our three argumentative essays are: 1. Pop Culture. 2. Crime and Punishment. 3. Education. I think I'll be alright with Crime and Punishment and Education. My English Professor can't believe that the class agreed on education. There's so much stuff you can write about.              

       I'm so glad my friend Tanya is in my English class and math class. She said she understands how to write our essays and she will show me how to write. It's nice to have people your own age in college. I believe that their should be colleges. One for kids getting out of high school and the other college for people that are older and wiser. I started a family first and than went to college. Being older you see things a lot different.

       On Wednesday my English class finally got a grade. The class got an A. It was a quiz grade and we discussed the questions in class in small groups. The sad thing about going into groups is I never sit with my friends. But we got an A.

       Does anybody have suggestions on what to write about Pop Culture? Once I get started on my first argumentative essay I think I'll be okay.  English is not my best subject. Math is my best subject. Who would of thought writing any kind of essays would be difficult. I also want to thank anybody who has commented on my first blog.

1st blog

This is my first time ever blogging. My English Professor wants us to blog once a week about what we discuss in class or what we read about. So here we go. In class we have discuss two stories that we had to read for homework. The two stories we read were called: The Question of Originally by Jane Hirshfield and Writing and the Threshold Life by Jane Hirshfield. The two stories were about how to start writing, be creative and taking the next step on how to be a good writer. In class we also have to write three essay. Our English Professor gave us nine topics to write about and the class has to come in a agreement because we all have to write about the same topic. Let me tell ya it has not been easy. Every time the class gets close to coming into a agreement someone has to say no. Our topics are Education, Gender, Pop Culture, Race/Ethnicity, Religion, Environment, Family, Sexuality and Crime and Punishment. We finally picked one topic out of three. It took almost thirty minutes. The class is only fifty minutes long. The first topic is Crime and Punishment. If anybody has any ideas what to write about Crime and Punishment please comment on this blog and let me know. I was thinking on writing about Casey Anthony and how I think she was guilty. Do you think she was innocent?
