Blogging again?
Yes it is me again here to bore you to tears. I am blogging to talk about what I have read in my text books and how it helped me. There seems to be lots of rules and guideline when it comes to plagiarism. I read them all but I'm not sure how much I retained, so I am sure I will be referring back to that chapter quite often. The other chapter I read I enjoyed a lot, talking about the voice of your writing. I enjoy reading and I always like a story that speaks to me. I am very nervous about writing my paper I do not remember ever doing anything like this before. I hope I meat the guidelines she wants, wish me luck.
Well I have read all there was to read, and written all I can think to write. The chapters in the book we were assigned to read help a lot, giving me direction on how to go about writing my story. How to give descript and help the reader see things as I see them. The one thing I am not sure of is the idea of a remembered story about a monument. I am not sure if it has a climax or may be I am missing the point. Oh well, I guess that is for class room discussion.
I am also supposed to write about my thoughts on tattoos. Yes I have one, or four. Do I like them? Everything in moderation I think," too much of a good thing, is never a good thing" I always say. I feel that tattoos are a way for many people to express themselves. Do I feel they are an act of rebellion? They can be if that is what you are feeling when you are getting them. I think what ever feelings and thoughts you put into the creation of your design is what you want portrayed to others. Some are memorials to those we love, others are "up your world , how do you like me now". Although I feel if you put no thought or feeling into it, it is not worth putting on your body.
I'm right here with you. I've done this before but I'm awful at speaking in front of people. I'll give you my luck! See you Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteMary, first, thank you for making your blog unique with your beautiful vacation picture. I also really liked how you started out and then came back after you read to comment again (really showing your process).
ReplyDeleteMuch of the readings in the textbook can be a little confusing. Climaxes are often for final emphasis or a mid-point to keep readers drawn in...but, not always a must in writing about historical things. As we saw in the essay about the man that went spelunking (we read aloud in class) there are many different ways to write. He used humor but it still told the facts and events of his story.
ALWAYS ask me in class if you have questions about the readings and I will try to explain or discuss them with everyone. I'm positive others have the same questions, they may just not feel comfortable asking. Great job following directions, Mary!
Thanks for interacting as well, Lindsay!
