Sex Signals: And we get it.

I didn't know what to expect of the program. All I knew was that I was tired and didn't want to go. The only reason I ended up going because it was mandatory. I arrived five minutes late thanks to my husband but didn't miss anything. Once the two speakers began talking I started liking it. My husband on the other hand had decided music was a better choice than listening to two kids ramble on about mixed signals. It was his loss. I really enjoyed myself and found the rape case very interesting. It was a good arguement and thought of my English class and how we would be learning to argue. I had seriously thought the guy being accused of rape was innocent considering the victim had put the moves on first and kept giving him mixed signals. However, she said no and his permission to have sex with her was taken from him. Mixed signals or not she clearly said NO. I learned that no matter the situation you have that right to give and take away permission.

Twelve Angry Men

The movie was great. The way the case was put out in the beginning lead to believe that the boy being tried was indeed guilty. Once Mr. Davis starts questioning the case there is more doubt as to if the criminal is guilty. I thought that Mr. Davis uses logic and reasoning because he paid attention to details that no one else sought. His argument was very effective because in the end all the jurors declared the "criminal" innocent. There was enough doubt to claim the boy innocent than there were evidence to put him in death row.

Well Earned

I believe I deserve the A I have. I put effort into all of my work, and effort is the key to success. I pay attention and participate in class. I spend all of the time I need to on my writing and sometimes continuously go back to check it. I have not missed anything and made sure to keep up with my work.
This should be self explanatory as to why I earned the grade I have in Composition. I have put work into all my classes so it can pay off. Dedication and effort into the class reflect on my grade. Passing this class is an accomplished goal towards surviving and graduating college.

60's Rock and Roll history

Barry Drake presented a powerpoint of the music and major events of the 1960’s. He described what came about in each year of the sixties and how the music from then molded into the rock we have today. It was amazing to realize how many of the songs I have heard before. To think that artists I have listened to participated in some of the movements going on years. It’s interesting to know.
The preface was actually an assignment for Composition but I enjoyed it. I was feeling tired that night and had no intentions in going but considering it was mandatory I went. Once I arrived and the music played I eased up. There was a point during the slideshow that they started to burn incenses to create the atmosphere and I found it to be very creative. I think these type of event are helpful in meeting new people and dicovering their interests.

A story of Vietnam war times

I plan to write a story that involves having my husband in the Vietnam war. In Country will be my guide to writing a better story. My story idea is somewhat unclear. I might add or take some of what I already have out. After the draft revision I hope to have my story complete and ready to print.

I agree with Chiat, the internet is the one place where we are all just internet browsers. Whether we are chosing to be ourselves or someone else we have that power to choose. This is what Chiat is trying to emphasize when he quotes "The internet is our only hope for true democratization..." The internet contributes to our determination of the truth because it has become a powerful tool for communication. When you read things online and how others are responding you are able to determine your personal truth and not rely on the truth presented by those in power.

An experience that taught me what good writing was

The sunlight struck right through the window. It felt warm in the car but not warm enough to have the a/c on. Spring had just begun. It was a beautiful day outside and my mother, sisters and me were on our way to church. Outside the tree leaves swayed back and forth with the gentle breeze. Flowers were beginning to bloom already and the scene was like one from a canvas. My mother began speaking of how all that we were seeing was creation of God. She went on explaining how He was the perfect artist. When we arrived to church we went on to our Sunday school classes. My sisters and I had the same class together and in our class one thing we were going to do is write about why God was good. I was never a fan of writing but Nataly the second to oldest of us three sisters enjoyed it. Everyone in the class was given an opportunity to read aloud what we wrote. My sister had written about our conversation in the car before having arrived to church and how that is why God was good. As she spoke I could listen to my mother speaking. To picture what she wrote was incredible. I felt like I was taken back to our conversation in the car. That is what I define as good writing. If you can savor the scene and just feel like you are there, the writer is gifted with the talent of good writing.

Exhausted!

I have not yet been able to adapt to school. I'm so used to getting up late and going to bed late. And OMG homework! Not a fan. Well tomorrow is another day.
