readings

The readings were really interesting.  My favorite one was the most dangerous game because it is very mysterious and keeps you guessing.  I like the twist at the end when Rainsford is in General Zaroffs bedroom waiting for him.  I also thought it was pretty cool my name was in it.  I have read both the stories we were assigned in high school in my English classes.  We did like a huge group project my freshman year about the most dangerous game and spent a lengthy amount of time talking about it.  The occurence at owl bridge was interesting also because the entire time I believed that he had actually gotten away, but in reality it would be nearly impossible to dodge that many bullets and even a cannon.  Both stories were interesting and was I was glad they were assigned to read. 

Le Guine

I thought the piece was extemely weird.  I just didn't really understand it that well and I thought it was interesting but kind of creepy.  I have no idea why they would keep a child locked up in a cellar and barely feed him.  It just makes no sense.  It just shows the ignorance of some people today.  They put the kid in the cellar because they didn't know what else to do with him, but it just seems dumb because they didn't want to deal with the problem they just shove it in the corner.  This is how some people deal with their problems today and it just shows in this story through a metaphor that people are very ignorant. 

paper

The RBAA paper I'm writing is going to be good I hope.  I have found some pretty good sources from the library and they were reasonably easy to find.  I'm glad I picked the topic of the court system being unfair because I didn't have to try very hard to find sources, but with the the debate topic we had the sources were extremely hard to find.  I hope that the sentence-level corrections go over better this time.  I like the way our papers our organized with the comments and how it tells us which sentence to do each correction on. 

semester

The semester is going by extremely fast.  I'm way excited to see how my papers are graded.  I really like the way we do the rectangle in class.  I don't like talking in class because I feel like i get interrupted and put down everytime I say something.  I do like English class tho, and I hope to further my writing skills and be able to write a collegiate paper by the end of the semester.  I like to do the things on the internet that help with grammar and commas. 

topic

I am debating between two different topics.  I either want to do why i think the court system is unfair or teenage bullying.  I have also considered the topic why has facebook become so popular and what are the pros and cons.  I am not sure which topic I am going to pick, but I have good info to back them all up. 

topics

One of the topics I came up with that make me mad is the court system.  The court sysstem makes me mad becasue because I feel like they are very unfair in certain situations.  I feel that every person that does the same crime should have the same punishment to be fair.  I can see that the counterargument would be that some circumstances would be different, so I think we should take this into consideration as we make the justice system better.  Another thing that angers me is when there are no signs and your car gets towed.  It is extremely annoying that they don't post any signs, and then they just tow you without reason really. 

presentation

I felt that my part of the presentation went well becasue I feel like I'm not afraid to talk in front of people and I like to do class presentations depending on what they are.  I was a little scared when I entered the room because I didn't know what to expect, but after finishing the entire thing I felt good.  I was also very happy with the grade I received.
