Writing From The Darkness.

I feel sad what the author had to go through out her life with her family and writing. Everyone needs a supportive family, and that's why some people are the way they are now. Parents are abusing, raping and killing their own child which doesn't make any sense to me. bell needed her family for a backbone and they weren't, so she needed something else to rely on which was writing. I feel that she took her problem and turned it to a positive uplifting situation. Writing was dangerous back when she was a child, and so she was a brave person to keep her writing ongoing. Her past is what made her the way she is today and I applaud that.

KANYE WEST WAS WRONG!!

Watching the VMA's last night made me really mad. Kanye had went up on stage while Taylor Swift was giving her speech, then he shows up from no where and said that Beyonce was the best. He shed that moment away from Taylor and I feel like his ignorance is not a good look for young children who looks up to him. He should of been a better role model but that wasn't the case at all. I hope in the future this won't happen again because it was very embarrassing for him to do that.

Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover.

Last night my friend from work wanted me to go to get a couple drinks with her and two other co-workers. Yesterday was exactly her birthday. I didn't really want to go because the two other girls, I felt like I would never get along with them outside of work. So of course, Birthday Girl gets mad because I didn't really want to go. She ended up persuading to go which I did. I sat my feelings aside for her and I ended up having a blast!! The two other girls were funny and the whole time we sat at the table just cracking up. I learned a valuable lesson last night, even though I didn't feel like getting to know other people I shouldn't judge them because of my own selfishness.

Celebrities Do CARE!

Before I came to class today I was watching The Wendy Show. She is sponsering and donating some supplies to schools. Wendy is encouraging people to do the same. I feel like this is so nice of her to be so thoughtful to our young kids who don't have that much. Bookbags, pencils, notebooks, binders, etc, which don't seem that much but can really help parents who are in proverty. I feel that most celebrities never forgot where they came from and know how it is to struggle. As I watch BET right now, they are also encouraging young kids to graduate from High School. THANK YOU!!

Getting My Page Together....

Yay!!! I just spent the last forty minutes putting my page together. I'm not good with this computer stuff but it's kinda fun blogging. This weekend was very long for me, only because I had to work. On Sunday I worked a double shift.. which means I start seven o' clock in the morning and leave work eleven at night. On top of that I had homework to do. It's coming along well though. Labor day was relaxing for me, I got some time to spend time with my family!! I had a blasted overrall.

What should colleges teach??

I agree with the handout...professors should teach the subject that students need for their major. For example, if its a writing class, it should be all about writing. It benefits the students with the next level of writing when we know the basics first. If a student does not have the knowledge to write a resume or letter for a reference, then he or she wasn't ready to pass that class yet. I also feel that colleges should prepare students for future careers. While reading, writing, science, and math are all important, we, the students should be focused on things that are related to career also. Once college kids graduate, we will have a good training thought to make us knowledgable in the "real world."

what is bad writing?

It takes a lot of practice to make a writing good. This means anybody can make a mistake when writing. First, when a story is not focused on a specific subject, many things can go wrong, such as, making the reader confused. For example an author writes a cook book. He or she start off with cooking spaghetti, then gets sidetrack explaining how sugar are made and where they come from. Which leads the reader still clueless of how to make spaghetti. Second, is when a writer does not have a purpose in writing. Argumentative writing, is when the writer disagree about a situation. For instance, a writer agrees the law should allow abortions, but the writer doesn’t have any reasons why abortions should be allowed. Thirdly, I feel that if an author is not at all enthusiac about his or her own writing, the reader wouldn’t feel it either. Especially in the beginning of the book, the writer has to grab the reader’s attention, before the reader put the book back of the shelf. Nobody wants to read a boring book.
