Shitty 1st drafts

Is an article by Anne Lamott, she uses this Shitty Drafts to discuss the need to let go and write those " shitty first drafts" her work leads to good clarity and sometimes brillance in our second and third drafts. She talks about the fact that some of us just need to let go and write about how we feel, sometimes what we write can be really shitty. But sometimes the ideas and clarities that we produce are filled with good information and sources.....

Personal Writing

From the 1st day we were told to pick a research topic, i decided to choose the war in Somalia as my research topic. I choose this topic due to my interest in the Wars that our country have taken place in, and the events that many of us have forgotten. Somalia was a war that affected the United Nations, and affected the lives of many people that lived in the United States in 1993. We decided to enter Somalia, and liberate its people to restore food, and order since the government was overthrown and killed. After starting my research i found a lot of good information on many topics that gave me information, and addressed the problems that were exactly taking place in Somalia in 1993. I also found reliable, and many real life accounts of incidents, stories,and clips that were collected by the CNN new journalists that were stationed in Somalia during the war. I decided to use military interviews as my collection of research methodology. I also will look into newspaper articles online that have been collected from 1993. Many of my personal rewards have been a better understanding of the War in Somalia and accounts that many American soldiers had to face while in the city during mission's.

Paraphrase

• Quotations in the final paper are one of the most important things to remember. People tend to plagiarise paper and forget to quote important facts that the authors addresses. Striving to limit yourself within considering the amount of source materials, is always a hard task due to the materials that you always must need to address. Even though 10% of your paper should be quoted, be careful not to include to much information based on the results you gather.

Social epidemics...? To help believe that many ideas, products, messages, and behaviors we find in society can be characterized by their rapid, exponential spread through our population. To allow ourselves to clearly understand the messages that are presented to us in society and learn to cope with a general understanding of the messages. Gladwell throughout his book talks about many different social phenomena's which give a basis for the messages that he was trying to present throughout his book. Secondly, there is a particular moment in time when these epidemics break loose from being contained within a small population and begin to spread. This is what Gladwell calls a tipping point. Gladwell used these spreads of population to lavish his personal ideas and begin social epidemics in society.

Chapter Three, The Stickiness Factor, Discussion Questions
2. The Power of the context seems to build in society in sensitive and stressful ways. People look at the environment different from each other, in the aspects of war, crime, violence, disaster, and events that effect us daily . Social content tries to help explain who we are in society, and the things that we all fight to achieve throughout our lives. We govern ourselves on what we learn is right and wrong, and follow our emotions into ideas in life that we either accept or learn to change. The environment can only change your behavior if you give in. You can stand up for yourself and make decision's that might not always be right, but then again we all learn from our mistakes.
5. I believe that if we in proved the living conditions in prisons it would make things better for our prisoners. But at the same time, there always going to have the down fall of no hope, and the aspect that life will never be the same for them. We have to derive a plan to allow a prisoner, and his mind stable and learn to feel the same in prison, as well as outside the walls.

English poems Conf, 2010

I had the opportunity yesterday to watch an English conference with panel eight in room 105. Two seniors presented there poems to us in which they had written. The 1st poem was written about the young ladies father who recently passed away. The poem caught the rooms attention due to how sad it was, and the usage of words to catch your minds attention. The young lady didn't cry as she read the poem, but you could tell it was a difficult read for her. She wrote the poem to remind herself of her father, and the great memories that she had while he was alive. I noticed the way she phrased words throughout the poem in which she wrote, she included her personal feelings as well as her inner thoughts, and sad memories. The conference was good to learn about different styles of writing, and to see the different aspects of poems that you can trans end. We also held questions at the end, and discussed the different ways in which you can start writing poems, as well as different styles that you can define in writing literature.
