The Final Why I Write......


  
Certain people tell you to write and tell you to do this does that. Well when the teacher tells too to write, what do you do? You don’t write, you goof off and then write the last minute and it’s horrible, but sometimes great. When I got into composition, I learned that writing doesn’t just take one day or four hours, it take multiple hours and days to get a great piece.
                I write because of one this honors class that I have taken composition. At first it was very hard and frustrating because there were papers left, and right. After the first semester was over I have gained enough courage to just sit and write, yes it was hard but I got in the habit of writing. Each piece that we have worked on has touched my heart in several ways. I can remember clearly the Crash paper last semester. That touched my heart because it taught us the values or racism and how we stereotype people without knowing them. The paper about us that was assigned with different ways of writing , I remember that one because I got to talk about my family and how I was raised and certain things that make me, me. If I could go back today I would do a lot of my writing differently and take my time and enjoy each piece Ms. James has given us.
                I write because I started writing about an old me that doesn’t exist anymore, over this school year a lot has happened and hanged me into a new person, more of a stronger person and writing about that makes me feel great because I have been knocked down several times but I’ve gotten up and written about it. Now as I sit hear taking this final I listen to all the keyboards pecking away and it makes me wonder if this will sound the same again, we have spent countless hours revising and looking at each other’s paper and now it’s time to say goodbye.  However one project I loved doing was this Multi- Genre project. We all took time and effort and put several papers together to make one big project and the thought of that seems scary but when I was writing my poem for that piece I fought so hard not to write it but when I sat down and was thinking words came to me, and I had written a poem that was worth it. One of my best poems that I will treasure.
                Most people would say I write because the teacher makes me, but the teacher doesn’t really make you, we choose to take this class we choose to write almost whatever we want and granted it takes forever to finish but we sit through it and work on it. I will say I’m going to miss this class and Miss Ms. James because she puts a lot of thought into this class and makes all of us pass and she may nag but her nagging is great because she makes us get the work in and we pass. Thank you Ms. James
               I write because writing is a stress reliever and it helps voice an opinion without getting in trouble, it helps you yell at someone on paper and the rip it up and no one will ever have to see it again. That’s why I love to write, it also helps me tell someone how I feel. I love to write even if it is a struggle for me.

Blog #7 Plagiarism

whats the big deal about Plagiarism anyways?  Yes i know it is a very big deal, the things people copy and paste as their own is unfair to the people that have made an effort and it paid off in the end, now they have teenagers stealing their work as there own.
       Mostly school have a source they can put the paper through and they can see if you have copied. one passage i liked what the article said about how easy it is to copy n paste.

Digital technology makes copying and pasting easy, of course. But that is the least of it. The Internet may also be redefining how students — who came of age with music file-sharing, Wikipedia and Web-linking — understand the concept of authorship and the singularity of any text or image.

Its easy to copy and paste. some websites have the protection on them where you can not copy and paste. Like the lyrics websites they have the protection where you can not copy what so ever.




Blogg 6

I liked the multi genre piece about The Wizard Of OZ. It was very good, i liked how the person had Dear Readers, to give them an introduction. I liked the poem Anameless world, the was a great title for it because how else do you know what to call the wizard of OZ. It is a nameless world in some points.
   He hits the heart with the poem about A Star Is Born. people would read that and can tell that something has happened and how the story is told.Everything about this project fits in  its like it lays in order, falling into place with each piece you read.

Multi genre blog evaluation

I have enjoyed doing this project, very much so that i want to make this big and exciting, things that i have done for this project i would have never guessed i could do. I have done a two voice poem, and for once that came to me and it sounds really good, i had no trouble with the poem, and i dreaded the poem for forever, once i got a couple lines down i got mostly all of them and it came out to be almost flowing. The other pieces i have for this project are coming together great, when you hear PROJECT everyone goes into hiding, however with this one i believe people love this idea and its grwat for an end of the year project.

I think if i could go back and do it again i would do a project about my family because my grandparents have stories like no other. I only chose In Vitro becasue its very interesting and hopefully one day i can help make miracles for couples. I have always loved science.........



blogg number 5 (MEMOABLE RHETORIC)

Looking back in time is very interesting because we never know what they have learned or when they experianced change. We experance change everyday, with all of the eletronics and the world, its changing everyday, we have a hard time sticking to one thing, and by the time we learn one thing a new item has came out that you need to learn that you have to have.
     
       Being sucessful at work, with reading, writing, speaking, all of the things that you use everyday. one passage i did like was......

Modern corporations have spent billions trying to hone in on which words will persuade people to remember and purchase their products. Their expensive studies have shown that the use of the figures “leads to more liking for the ad, a more positive brand attitude, and better recall of ad headlines.”
Why do they spend so much on telling the world about a new product? People honestly do not look up all the time, we have no desire for looking up, yet if some big company spends millions on one AD that lights up the sky, of course were going to look, why wouldnt we.

I also liked 

The most important figures for making phrases memorable are the figures of repetition, especially rhyme and alliteration. This key goal of repetition has been understood for millennia, hence the Latin expression Repetitio mater memoriae, “Repetition is the mother of memory.”

In the Future Dave Barry






I really enjoyed this article because it was interesting and very funny. It kept me entertained by his funny ways of telling us were waisting our time by going to college but we should go to learn something we will forget most of the stuff we've learned. My future holds a lot, however it has changed a lot but for every person that i get that tells me i can't do it, just pushes me more and more to make myself do it. I may not learn everything in college, or i may forget most of what they teach in schools, but me knowing i went to college and got a degree for something that is a waist of time. It will look very good at the end of the day. I will prove people wrong in the end and they will look up and see who is standing in the long run.

grammar second half



I think this blog website was fuuny, grammar like the first one. Telling us how to use grammar when they do not know how to use it, however when the people tell us they show us one way how to do it then tel us it wrong then when we do it that way they say no no do it this way. The article is very interesting but when it comes dowwn to grammar people stress because they do not know how too do it.
