seminar 2

The points that were brought up in seminar was that everyone had their own opinion about how the songs had there own identity. I liked how each song had a specific style to it and everyone seemed to pull those things out in the seminar setting. I learn a lot about how to identify certain thing that are being talked about in a song.

Addition blog 5

This semester I took Professor Nicole Hancock because I had as my writing teacher before. I can honestly say I like her way of trying to get us how to understand how writiing really suppose to be. I still make a lot of mistakes on my papers but it not because I'm not getting what she is saying it is just that I have a difficult expression on paper and gather thoughts to put in my papers. I can say that it has gotten better and that I will continue this processing as long as I have to until it is great.

4th paper comments

In the movie the Rock Star At first I was a bit confused about who the band was until I went and looked them up on the internet and read about them. I found them to be a very interesting group. I did appreicaite some of their music. I also understood what the purpose of the movie was about.

Now me and my group or going to put together a paper on how we felt about the grouping the movie and compare to the real Judas Priest.

I never liked writing but I can say the teachers I have had has changed that. They have taught me that if you have things to say then its best to write them down and give good examples of how it makes you feel or exactly how things happened. In writing papers there is a lot of techniques with it and you have listen to what the teacher is telling you to do so you can write good papers with less mistakes and information.

answeres to the research question

1-2. Kids are just different in so many ways because the are so different in how they act and do things. I guess that's the reason boys and girls are so different boys on the other hand are agressive, stubborn and just have a hard time at learning things. Girls on the other hand just do want they need to do so that they can be sucessful. They have a way of just wanted to be successful. I am raising both genders and I honest see how the statics came up with their theories.



3. I think that having both parents in the house is good sometime because you have to people who are concern about what the kids are and must do to be successful. Being a single is hard because you have to be both parents and that can be a lot of stress on that one person.



4. Some of the single dads I know are doing a good a though it is hard for them they seem to manage pretty well.

recieving feedback on my papers additional blog 2

When we have peer review in class I like to ask my classmates to give me as much help as they can so that I can make my paper have lets of good details and how to make the paper flow really well. Make sure I have enough details in the paper to state my point and to give them an ideal of the paper

How I prepare for a paper that I'm writing additional blog 3

When I am preparing to write a paper I do all the things, I think about my topic, write things down on paper like the ideas that comes to mine about the topic. I then try to put all of those ideas to from a paper. A lot of the my paper come from my personal experience but if you know the topic on a paper the more your paper would be a good paper. I never realize how much can go into a paper if you just write about things that you know about or things that you have down a lot of research on. The more details in a paper that you the more it has a voice and the reader understand what the point of the paper is all about.

My Seminar
The article had me confused at some points and in other points I agreed. I did not understand the Bob Marley one at all even after reading it several times. I guess in ever heard the song how was this song so uninterrupted I do not know. The mean I did get was political but still confusing. I think he was talking about the Jamaican community and how it is. This was after I read the lyrics of the song.
I did not like how they bashed Elvis either, even though I’m not a fan I feel has is he made some good music rather he was a racist are not. What made him stand from any of the other artist that you call want-a-be’s?
In the song, “Johny Hit and Run Pauline.” I can see how the song is misinterpreted it is suppose t be a anti-rape song but truthfully it sound like he is raping her or has raped her and is bragging about it but the audience lone hear the beat off the song to make them like it.
I was honestly confused with the article at first but after reading it I can see why they feel that you should listener more to a song first by knowing the lyric of the song first and hopefully the song has a good melody to it. Some artist that you love can make songs that you would not like are would like simply because you love the artist.
I personally agree that music of many different genres is listener to and perceived in many different ways. When I listened to music I like the words that are being said and also the melody of the song. Most of the songs relate to what I have going on in my life at the time. Many artists make songs that come from something that involves their life or the society as a whole.

In writing class you are suppose to be able to write a paper with a lot of details and be able to put things in order as they happen and to have a mean to the paper in general. Your paper should always have a intro, details and a conclusion. You should also know how to structure your paper in the college form a not the way you were taught in high school. Writing class is supposed to help you to be able to write a paper that is well put together.

Kingswell Essay

My opinion on this essay was pretty close to the point. I thought that it was a little vague though because all it talked was how you can make if you try to be like other people. Me personally I don't feel like I should trying to be like other people and imaging yourself after other is surely not the way to be. I don't really want to one of those modern media icon because I would not like to be a role model for anyone.

submission notes for paper 3

To: Nicole Hancock
From: Anita Glen
Date: November 12, 2008
Subject: Paper 3

I did a paper on “Raising boys vs. Girls and I wrote a lot about my personal experience because they both are different in gender and the way they feel both emotional and physically. I explain how each one of my kinds is different in way the deal with their peers and with society. My kids don’t follow the status quo like the other does. I even look up some cites that would help me to support what I was trying to established to my readers.

I got a lot of feedback from the sites I went to and also from my peer reviewer. I tried to make the voices of my paper sound like a person who is experiment the difference of different gender children and I also tried to make it flow in the correct way so it want sound so bland. I tried to also state how each kid is different without the paper being boring.

Overall I tried to stay focus on my topic and tried not to have so many punctuation errors and not to run all over the place with my ideals.

research question

1. Why is raising different gender kids so hard?
2. What is the difference between raising kids as a sinlge parent vs. with both parents?
3. Why are boys and girls so diffrent?
4. Are men better single parents than woman are?

submission notes paper 2

As I was writing my paper I thought about what people would like to know. So I wrote about things that I thought were important to me and would be good to my readers. I tried to put as much details and content that I could in my paper. I tried to put qutoes whwere they needed to be and all of the other punctuation that I needed and when it was time for peer review I asked for the reviewer to give me help to make my paper sound good and to flow properly.

I took my peer reviewers Advice and did the revisions that I needed for my paper. I did not choose any specific style I just wrote what was in my heart and what I was feeling and thinking about at the time. My whole messages to my paper is to never give up on yourself no matter what you go through because you always have other options. I can say that I owe a lot of what I wrote in my paper to my grandmother she agve me a lot of encouragement.

I basically tried to stay focus on my subject and not run all over the place.
