The author of debunking myths talks about how the ideal picture of the American Nuclear family is no where near reality. Although all families are created the same way, they react and behave differently towards each other. I think this is an effective article however, it seems long and full of fluff. Some things could have been cut out and she could have sumed her points up a little bit quicker.
I thought the essays we read in class were hilarious. The first one the author talks about how only capitalistic women work for that bigger house or the second car and how it is unneccessary for a woman to work. She says she is looked down upon because she is a stay at home mom but feels satisfied and has a wonderful family.
Ironically, the next essay is about her husband divorcing her. Her views on women working drastically change. And she realizes it is not greedy for women to have jobs and support themselves.
She was a good writer and used big words however, her first essay made me very angry. Today, it is crucial for women to have jobs as well. It is unreasonable for people to women should not work. We have every capability of working that men do.
I preview the introduction and the whole passage and the conclusion. Then I go back and read the whole passage. I make sure I understand everything I read and comprehend the whole passage.
I love to travel, I have been to Spain.
I’m majoring in international business.
I’m a ski lift operator at Boston Mills.
I think my organizational skills have improved the most since I have been a student in GSW 1110. A new type of writing was introduced to me, and in the beginning I had no idea where to even start. Now I feel like I have a good idea of how the department expects the papers to be written and it makes much more sense to me.
I still have a lot of work to do on this essay the next two days. My intro is a little long and needs to be condensed. I need to cite my sources and I need to get some more information on what constitutes winning a newberry award.
Essay 5 is very frustrating. I have never judged a childrens book to determine if it deserves a newberry award or not. There is a lot of research that has to go with understanding the characteristics needed to win a newberry. This paper is all very opinionated and there is no wrong or right answer. So it is hard to judge such things with so little background knowledge of the topic.
I really like my book, What game shall we play? It is very cute and clever. The illustrations are very good and explain what is going on in the story very well. The delineation of characters is very well explained. And the plot development is very clever.
Essay 4 was still just as hard as the other essays for me. However, gathering all of my thoughts and connecting each one to the next was a lot easier for me to do. I’m just glad to almost be done with the essay.
My essay could use smoother transitions at the beginning of my paragraphs. I worked really hard to put one in almost every paragraph.
