The End

Final Blog thank god! Cm 1145 has been a great experience, I have gained a lot of knowledge about writing, knowledge that I will take with me through out the rest of my school years and where ever else the years take me. I can honestly say i enjoyed my english class it was a challenge and if i make it all the way through I will defiantly feel a sense of accomplishment. I really enjoyed having Kerri Cull as my teacher , she is very organized, helpful and if you were ever having trouble with anything she was always more then happy to help. Kerri and the rest of my classmates made cm 1145 easy to get through so thank you guys for everything and I hope everyone has a great summer and ends up where they want to be in september!

Now that my blog assignment is almost done i only have one more essay and a research paper due for cm 1145...  another research paper for sociology and a math assignment! I guess I have my work cut out for me  for the weekend, I will be a prisoner in my own room. There is no more time to procrastinate it is time to get thing done. Final exams are just around the corner and i can feel the stress of studying creeping up on me already!!  Stress is probably one of the worst feelings in the world but once it is relieved there is no better feeling. This has been a good semester and I'm not complaining but i can not wait for school to be over with!

Purpose & Audience

It is always important to know who your audience is when when writing any kind of  piece. The first question you should ask yourself is " who are my readers" this will determine how you will choose to appeal to the reader. How can i best get them to be interested. Make sure the reader will understand what you are trying to explain and make it appealing. We were given random topics in class and we had to made them appeal the a random audience that we were also given. My audience was an eighty year old african woman and i had to make a Big Mac appeal to her! The first think I would do is convince her that Big Macs are one of the worlds most famous burgers and its defiantly something you have to try before you die,  considering she is eighty years old. Also trying a big mac is trying food from another culture she could see how people from other cultures eat. The purpose would be to make a big make as appealing as possible to an eighty year old african woman that can be a challenge.

Coming to an end

I honestly can't believe this year is almost over already, I think the years start to go by faster as we get older. It has defiantly been a year filled with new experiences, i went to a new school with new teachers and friends. Now thats the end is quickly arriving I guess its time to make even more new decisions. I chose to go to school here at home this year because I can't even stand the thought of leaving home, its probably my biggest fear. I figured since I stayed here and extra year by the end of it I would defiantly be ready to leave, but here I am more terrified then ever. The thought of having to live on my own seriously gives me anxiety! If I could live home for the rest of my life I think I would. There is no reason for me to leave I have everything I ever wanted right here. I have my friends, family my own car, my own room, food and a roof over my head free of charge... life is just too good at home. So in september my life will make a complete 360, I will have no family surrounding me everyday, no car and probably no food. Im sure I'm thinking of the worst possible situation but i find it hard to see the bright side. Hopefully everything turn out better then i expect , if not I have a feeling that next year won't be going by as quickly as this year.

Rat dissection!

Last week in biology I learned something knew about myself, i learned that i love to direct things. At first i was a little skeptical about cutting open a rat but once I got going there was no stopping me. Some people may feel guilty about dissecting a poor innocent animal and I guess the thought of guilt passed through my mind for a moment but then it was gone again. I love the challenge of having to cut something so delicately , one wrong or aggressive move and you could damage something important. Dissection is almost like an art, you have all your different tools thats you use to create a master piece. The goal of this direction was to completely open up the rat and locate all of its inner organs and their functions. Its amazing that everything found inside the rat can be found in our own bodies. The way i think of it is the rat was already dead to begin with so by dissecting it you are actually making use of the of the animal instead of it going to waste. If we didn't use rat dissection for scientific research we wouldn't have made all the scientific discoveries that have helped and saved man kind.

Blog assignment

The blog assignment is defiantly a creative assignment and it might be a little easier if i were creative. So we had around three or more month to write fourteen blog entries and of corse due to my sever procrastination i am trying to get all my blogs done the last day! It would be so much easier if we could blog about things other than cm 1145. Last term I found blogging a lot easier because there were so many different topics to blog about, there was a new story or poem for every blog. This term i feel limited on what to blog about. There are only so many times you can blog about emotional appeals. On the other hand  I have learned to like the idea of blogging. Its a chance to express your own thoughts and opinions on whats going on in your life or in this case in your english class. There are no right or wrong answers when blogging only right or wrong punctuation. Making a blog can also help people deal with stress. After a long day were nothing seems to be join your way , you can relax and and release all your feeling in blog form! Blogging also keeps you in touch with other class mates you can view and comment on their blog and find out how they feel about the course. On my own i don;t think i would have ever decided to start a blog but I am glad i got to experience what its like to be a blogger through both of my english courses this year.

Logical arguments

Logical arguments are another one of many arguments we have learned about this term. These arguments are backed up with hard evidence. If you can prove your point with evidence there is a good chance you will win the argument. Logical arguments hold evidence such as facts, stats, testing, reasoning and common sense.  The first step to a logical argument would be to evidently choose an argument and then decide witch point of view you would like to defend.  Be sure to research your topic, make sure that you are able to provide hard evidence to back up each claim that you make.  If you are ever in a situation where you want to prove your point you can never go wrong with using a logical appeal.
