Journal entry #7
In this essay, Orwell suggests that the English language is on the decline because the people who use English are misusing the language. What sort of things does he mention as proof that the English language is in trouble?
The trouble english language is in is that many bad language like slang is messing up the language and english lacks the passion of lets say french or spanish.
Orwell wrote this essay almost 60 years ago. Do you think the English language is in a better or worse condition than when Orwell wrote his essay? Can you think of modern examples of how people misuse language?
The english language I believe is worse because of all the slang we have and lack of teaching in certain areas, texting is really hurting grammar of english language.
What do you think of Orwell’s list of rules to improve your writing? I dont agree with it that much maybe because i dont write like that but it could be helpful to some people.
What do you think he means when he suggests that one should focus on “pictures and sensations” before one sits down to put words on the page? Have you ever done this? Does it help you write better?
I think he means find a picture that shows how you feel and then you can pick the perfect word to describe it, I dont think it will help me write because I free lance then I put it together.

Journal entry #5
This essay was written in 1971. What types of duties does Syfers describe as being performed by wives? To what degree do you believe these are still done primarily by women? Have these or other things about the husband/wife relationship changed in the last 37 years?
Syfers explain duties that is done in a house regularly, like cleaning cooking going to work etc. There are women that are what he explain but usually they are higher socially and financially, and most things changed since he wrote it.
How would you describe Syfers’ writing style? Does she do things you would typically avoid in your own writing?
Syfers writng is writing that you read as a past time not really to do work or research on. She can fix errors in her writing and probably work on her grammar too.
Syfers was reacting to a social structure that she felt at the time was unfair. What types of injustice or unfairness do you see in the world nowadays that you think should be addressed? Syfers implies that men benefit from the servile position of women in the family. Who benefits from the injustices you see active in the world today?
There are alot of injusties that people benefit off of, like gun runners arm dealers that sell guns illegally to countries for they can kill people sometimes their own, and women situation in the work place greatly changed for the good but you will still find that prejudice because I dont think it will ever go away.

journal entry #4
What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must "invent the university" when they write in college?
Bartholomae means that students should be greatly involved in what they do at school and they should know everything by the time you graduate.
What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become "insiders" within academic discourse?
He feels students should write what they are thinking about or feeling because as a student they have the right to. They should take that right and take the chance and write what they feel.
Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae's opinion of these examples.
the difference between the two he examines is that one gets straight to the point and the other goes more into depth. His opinion of the first one is that its does what is ask but has no feeling or life but the other one you can feel the author opinions while you read.

1. Powell wanted to expressed how hard it was to come up from what he went through, his unfair advantages and racism. He wanted to make his audience know that it was not easy and he did have to work hard to achieve. I believe he wanted to inspire all the people that think they can't do it because of what they have or their disadvantages.
2. I think he wanted to effect the people that don't have a lot growing up and hardships, in a way to motivate them.
3. The tone of the writer is endurance, and motivation. Never having the will to quit but the will to keep fighting, and that is why Colin Powell is a great man. My respect for him is a great respect because he showed many people how to not quit.

Well I believe you should not harm a living creature because its a living being and deserve to be treated right. Especially with domestic animals like dogs cats etc. Killing a chicken because you are going to eat it is one thing but forcing animals to fight is another or harming it for no reason. I believe with the nature of pitbulls there not the ideal pet to have but if you raise it proper they will be good. Dogs being put to sleep is a hard choice but I believe it necessary. If all that dog knows is to attack then it should be put down to spare another human.

Social networks affect us in alot of ways. I know some people that actually found relatives on myspace or facebook. There are certain dangers to them also but that the respomsiblity of the people who are on the site. There could be sexual predators on the wesbsite posing as a teenager, but parents should know their kids are on the website and should make them aware of the dangers and how to use the site responsibly.

Project Draft 1
MY beliefs is something I hold on to in my life because your beliefs shape who you are. Hard work is something that never could escape me. When I don't work hard I always get mediocre results, and when i do work hard success usually follows. I take that mind set in everything I do like sports, and education. If you don't study your grades are going to suffer.For me there is no in between, either I do real good or I do real bad. Im saying that you can see a pattern that is drawn the more you work hard the better your results are. Hard work builds character for ourselves to keep us on the right path. Hard work also brings forth success which is important in all our lives.
Character is something that we all have, whether good or bad. Character moldss you into the person you want to be. Character is the front cover and first chapter of the book of your life. By your charcter people will tend to expect certain things, like high or low expectations, failure, or great success. Knowing this with good charcter you will position yourself to either succeed or fail. Good charcter makes choose from right or wrong, even if tempation is staring you in the face. Good charcter will not allow you to compromise your goals and beliefs over doing something that is not in your plan. With good character you will shape your life to how you want it, but you need more than just good charcter to meet your goals.
Hard work is something I hold as the number one thing that you need to succeed, although you need more like a blue print how you will work hard. Everybody have a level of hard work they need to do in order to achieve their goals. Some people have to work ten times harder just to make the same goal that somebody met without working hard. But what matters is just making it. For example One of my professors told me a story, he told me their was a young boy growing about the same time as Mozart but the boy work hard all day on the piano. Now at the time Mozart was writing symphonies already as a child but the boy just kept working on his craft. When the two were twenty they both played side by side on stage. They played so beautiful that no one could tell them apart musical skill wise. So the moral of the story is maybe you have to work six hours more than somebody else but once you meet your goal you will be just as good. the boy could of got discouraged that Mozart was writing symphonies already as a kid but he just kept working and it payed off at the end. So hard work in everything i believe in i believe i need hard work whether it is school basketball or being a child of God.

Journal Entry #2
Accomplishing big things in small pieces is a essay I found compelling. Before I even read it the title captured me and made me think about my current obstacle I'm trying to reach and piece by piece I'm knocking it down. The essay is about William Wissemann. He grew up with dylexia and he had to learn how to break down sentences in small pieces to get the meaning of it. Hearing the essay motivated me to stay patient because I know that if you want something to get it will take time, and that what I got from the essay. For the most part the essay follow the guidelines of the website and the tone is semi serious and funny to me. What I probably write about for project 1 is my belief in God and how by following his guidelines anybody can live a better life. I also might write about hard work because with it nothing promise but without you get nothing.

Journal Entry #1
Something that made me want to write recently was about the olympics. I heard topics about athletes getting competitive edge, and to me that is absolutely wrong. For example I heard Michael Phelps and some others swimmers are wearing different swim suites that actually make you swim faster. I think if the other countries don't have access to that apparel I think no one should be allowed to wear it. It just fair and if sports are not fair it takes away the competitive nature if every race or game the other team is a mismatch. My purpose for writing this is that every body can realize what makes sports is the competitive nature. Why people spend their money to go to the games is to see a great game not just a blow out game or a one sided affair.

In the news (Politics)
Well I believe what the candidates think and his or her actions is important but in the same aspect a family is a reflection of who you are or is it? There are many point of views yiu can take but I believe in our society family and their candidates goes hand in hand, you cant seperate them. Both have a direct effect on others.
The candidates stopping their campaining for 9/11 was great because that shows all of respect for the people that were directly involved and for the country. I couldnt imagine if one of the candidates stop and the other didnt that wouls of been a campaining suicide I would think. But that was a good move for both campaining parties.

FAMILY INFLUENCES ON POLITICS
The influence that families has on politcs is major, it can break or make the running candidate. What comes to mind when I think about families and politics is when I read on fox news website what Barack Obama’s wife said in an interview that she had. I was interested in what she said so I watch it. BEfore watching it I saw on tv all the diffrerent spins that the reports try to make it sound like she said, almost changing her words. And in politics one thing that people love to have is a advantage and they will try to get one any way they can. What I found funny was how a direct impact her words had on Brack Obama almost as if he said it himself. So the question arise to me why do in politics does family has such a impact on the candidates? Shouldn't only the candidates views, beliefs, and what he or she says should effect his or her chances? Does it matter to you if a candidate thinks one way and their family thinks another?

In the news #1
In sports the level of competitiveness is very high, no one likes to lose or be cheated or feel like it. So when the question of a unfair advantage is ask their can be many different opinions about the subject. I believe sports should be fair no matter what the issue is. No when comparing athletes some may have advantages whether in height or athletic ability or size. But what makes sports so intruiging is when some body is physically at a disadvantage and some how finds a way to excell with the odds against them. Well let me not say somwe how, its by hard work. hard work pays off in anything in life whether it is grades, career, or maintaing you health. If some one is allow to take something or to drink something to help them physically you taking out all the hard work and what sports is really about, the under dog. That is what people go to games to see. A team that is outmatched work together and hard to win the game.
