THE FINALE

Professor Wesley is a tough, but reasonable teacher. When I first walked into class I didn't know what to expect. I'm not used to having a black teacher in the classroom. In my school black teachers are a rare thing to see. So I was happy in the inside to see her somewhat. Professor Wesley seemed cool at first, until she starting dishing out work. I thought I couldn't keep up with all the work she would assigned including papers,blogs, and the other weird websites she had us going to. The websites Professor Wesley had us going to was so freaking odd and childish a bit. Professor is a very blunt person, and takes no excuses. If you're on top of your work she assigns you will pass. Professor Wesley has a evil stare that makes you not want to ask any questions about anything. I really enjoyed the discussions she would bring up class, because it  killed time, and they got real at times. When Professor Wesley started giving Sula quizzes I really started to dislike her. In the end I found out Professor Wesley is a stern professor to get us equipped for the college experience. I'm glad I got into her class, and ready for what the fall will bring.

The Library

The library experience was very difficult. I haven't been in a library since I was younger, so I was very lost today. I was so confused on where to find any books on my topic. It probably took about a whole hour to find some books. The library code system is a difficult one to understand, especially if it's your first time using it. Eventually I found two books on my topic. The two books I chose can really help me a lot with writing this eight page paper. I've never written a eight page paper before in my life. I might have a difficult time with the length, but not with the argumentative part. I wish we had a little bit more time to complete the paper. My topic on my paper is about racism. I'm going to explain why I think white people are evil, and how I came up with this statement. In my heart I really think white people are evil. I might be a little prejudice, but I don't disrespect most white people. I can thousands of reasons why white people are evil in my eyes, and I'm white have reasons why black people are evil. 

Argumentative Essays

In in argumentative essay you can choose from four different sources of arguable claims. You can choose from issues of definition, which is argument that hinges on how to define a object, event or person. You can choose from issues of causation, which is arguing about an effect due to a cause. Another chose is issues of evaluation, which is arguing something good,bad,right or wrong, better or worse. The last chose you can pick from is issues of recommendation, which making making
recommendations about the best course of action to follow or should. We learned about different types of evidence to support your argument. You can use reason, which is common sense or beliefs. You can choose authority, which is personal beliefs on a argument. Emotion can also be chosen which is another type of evidence. Emotions persuade readers with feelings. The Latin terms for the reasons, authorities, and emotion are Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. Also you have to avoid logical fallacies, which could be false or weak premises, irrelevance, and ambiguity.

Argumentative Essays

I've never written a argumentative essay before. I think my argumentative essay will turn out pretty good, because I like to argue to get my point across. From my understanding in a argumentative essay your suppose to state claim, and answer any question your audience might have in their minds. Argumentative essays seem really easy to write if you know a lot about your topic. I think in a argumentative essay you have to make extremely valid points. A lot of arguments are based on opinions, but have facts to back the opinion up. In the area I'm from all we do is  argue about things that we have strong opinions about. Our favorite topics are basketball, football, music, basketball players, football players, hip hop artists, and personal affairs. The arguments we partake in get really epic.We take topics to the extreme. We argue to the point where a fight might even break out between us. If your not a great debater you probably couldn't hang around me. That's why this argumentative might come easier to me.

Teenagers & Video Games

Video games don't effect teenagers unless the teenager is crazy in the head. If violent video games effect a teenager's mind then other games will also. I know personally when I play video games I do not incorporate in any real life situations. My little plays violent video games, and he has never had any problems in real life. I think most teenagers know the difference between fantasy and reality. Playing violent video games are cool, because all the things you can't do in real life you can do in a game without any repercussions. I don't think I've ever heard of any case where a teen reenacts  a violent video game, and causes harm to others. The only minds violent video games effect are the minds of children. Usually parents play big roles in children lives, so they know the difference between right and wrong. If the violent video games corrupt teens minds; I'm pretty sure there would be some type of protest to stop the creation of games. As teen knows reality form fantasy play violent video games would not effect them at all, but may cause an addiction. 

1965-The Finale

1965 was the final chapter in the book.Our reading group was assembled pretty late yesterday, but we got the job the done. I was very excited to read the final chapter to see what it was going to be about. Nel was brought back into play like I thought she was going to be. The way the book ended was not good at all to me. I think Tony Morrison should of created a better ending for the book. It ended so plain, and dull to me compared to the other parts of the book. Overall I'm glad I read the book. The book was really interesting. Compared to other books I've read in my lifetime Sula is high on my very short list. The book contained a great amount of drama, action and suspense, which made for a great piece of literature to read. I'm glad I joined that reading group after all; It really paid off in the long run with my grades. I haven't failed a Sula quiz since the first the three I took, and my last two grades on the quizzes were A's. Since we finished the book Sula, I wonder if this is going to be our last blog post for the summer.
