What comes to mind

When I think about the class and the unique things we did this year, immigration and are past job experiences comes to mind. This made me realize how a past work experience helps determine the career I wanted to pursue in. I had learned through this class is the different cultures and teaching techniques. The unique things in this class is how we share opinions with each other rather than just listening to the professor and taking notes.

The Future

When I think about the class and the things we did this year, what comes to mind is the thought of jobs. When we were talking about work it made me think of all the great things that happened duiring my experiences as a young worker. But now I have to admit that I am addicted to shopping. So going to college and being a marketing major will help me start a career that I will enjoy and love. I am addicted to shopping and I would love to work at Aeropostale corporation in the future. My mother knows that once we step in to the stores that I will not be coming out for a long time.

The Reflection of Class so far

During the past classes for College Composition I've noticed that we discuss a lot of things that happen today or what happened in the past. For example, Black English and the value of work and how it is taken for granted. I have related to both these issues to the point that I actually liked talking about it in class. As we all discussed these issue during the pass classes we all saw that the time passed. I also noticed that I also had my own point of view of things that we did in class.

This Class

This class is certainly very different. Some of the time I forget that we are in an English class when we are talking about immigration ,past jobs,and the value of work but we also talk about english relevant things like literacy. Its an ok class because the people there are pretty down to earth. It also helps that the professor isnt on a high horse , oh and what happened to the first paper we did?

the B L O G.. not to be confused with THE BLOB

Its hard to think that we are now down to the last few weeks of our class. From the begining of this class untill now it has been nothing less than a interesting experience. Our topics that we have spoken about have been rather unique, ect. formatting our own paper. Even the set up of our room stands untraditional with desks set up in a circle. I enjoy most about this class that we discuss amoungest eachother. We are not narrowed to just answering questions from our professor, but can even question eachother. When we talked about immigration we intergrated all of our first hand views and even other views of people outside of the classroom to see an overall look at a topic.

So I've been thinking a lot about reality lately. Its difficult to think about it, being such a abstract concept. I s'pose the most important thing to do when addressing abstract concepts is to define them. So I figure, not in any textbook official sense, that reality is simply anything that is real. Reality is anything that exists. the whole difficulty with reality is that to understand anything we must rely on our individual perceptions. Obviously no one's perceptions are exactly the same, thus reality is relative. subject to change. But is there a true reality.
what happens to reality in time. is the past fiction? (certainly the future is) but how can we rest our reality on memories, when we know how faulty they can be.
so if something is constantly changing, and relative to each person, does it even exist? is reality real?


ok cool. i have some direction now. in reference to reality i want to know what the status of global warming is. i want to know if its a real threat, or a political scam. I want to know if it has a human origin, or if its a natural occurrence. I want to get to the bottom line. My coworker/ 6th grade teacher recently read a well researched book outlining global warming as a scam. In opposition, i heard al gore just put out a movie called "an inconvenient truth" about the reality of global warming. I intend to use that book and movie, as well as conversations with geography professors and internet research to get to the bottom of the debacle.

English 023

When I think of this class I think of the mess that was the second paper assignment. Then I think back on the self grading dilemma but I did learn some useful revising techniques so far this semester. This being said, I'm happy with how things are going, but then again we didn't start the research paper yet.

We talked a lot about work this semester and since I'm a business major I was most interested in this particular topic. I would like to do my research on finance and how people spend their money or something like that.... I can't wait until Christmas...

Possible Topic

• Technology Is Good for Finance
• Technology In Finance is good in forms of online banking, online ordering, and selection.

K 9 Handling

So my major starting next fall is going to be Criminal Justice. I'm do not have large amounts of mucle and I don't have huge body mass like a lot of cops have nowadays, but I'm certainly not the laziest. I want to be a police officer, but also a K9 Handler. I love dogs, Police K9 Training, and that whole bit. It's hard to get the K9 handling position so I have to work hard, but I think my chances are pretty good. I got bitten over the summer by one, and it was everything I wished for. ---By the way---I was bitten at a training camp.---It wasn't like I was running from the cops or anything. Don't worry about that. I guess you can say I am a dog freak, but oh well.

...THESE ARE THE DAYS...

These Are The Days, The Time is now...There is no past, There is only future...There is only here, There is only now.

-culture
-musical theatre
-society/views
-grading??
-Jordan's Essay on Black English.. {the color purple}
-culture's effect on musical theatre!!??

Throughout the semester we have discussed many topics, one that comes to mind is my brilliant idea of self-grading. I will talk about this later...because we all know we never want to talk about this issue ever. again.

HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Ok, so the doctor's on Grey's Anatomy don't save all lives, but they do know how to. This tv show is my addiction. Everybody knows not to call or distract me Thursday nights at 9:00. I am a Grey's Anatomy FREAK and I'm not afraid to admit it!

Here I sit, broken hearted...ooops, they painted the bathrooms in LYTLE

Ok, not really broken hearted, but maybe a little preocupied. You see, I am a political junkie. I love election time. I get all excited about things like CSPAN. This year...the political rhetoric of campaign ads is crazy. This makes me think about audience and rhetoric.

immigrants

Immigrants do not have the best reputation in America today. They are most often strereotyped. They have been said to be job stealers and low class. People often talk as if elligal aliens and legal immigrants are the same. On the news most information about immigration has to do with the boarder between U.S and Mexico. The attitude towards most immigrants seems to be a over
all negitive one.

Immigrants

I think that 99% of the thoughts on immigration are usually negative. Immigrants are generally viewed as invasive. I think our country forgets about our promise of "all people are created equal" , "equal opportunity", "land of the free" etc. It's comparative to High School : New people come in. They form cliques to their own kind. They don't let "outsiders" in. They have something against the outsiders for no reason. The situation is similar, in my eyes.

Immigrants

I think that immigration is okay here in the UNited Stated. You have to think of it in being a good way because they want to come here and have a better life. Altough some of them are illegal it shouldn't make such a big of a deal. They want to come over to this country and make a better living for themselves and for thier children.

Immigrants

I think the immigrants to the United States have been stereotyped in an unfair way. Yes, there are a lot of immigrants here illegally, but there are also immigrants who come here on legal grounds for many reasons, jobs, family, etc. Unfortunatly, an ugly picture has been painted towards all immigrants, because of those people who choose to work the system. The government is now trying to do something about illegal immigration, and the only thing it's doing is making all immigrants legal and illegal look worse in the eyes of the public. This is because the main points displayed in the media are mostly negative, making legal immigrants look just as bad as illegal immigrants.

Immigrantion

Immigrantion has caused problems in the United States. They cause crimes and have a low-wage jobs. This makes the Amercia's get lower-wage jobs because the immigrantion lowers the rate since they would work basicly for nothing. I feel it's not the Immigrantion fault for doing this, because the government doesn't stop them from doing it. Who wouldn't want to live a better life.

Immigrants

Well here's what I think and I'm not sure that a lot of people are going to agree but that's ok. I think that we need immigration, illegal and legal. I feel though that legal immigration should monitored, like how many people are allowed to immigrate here in a year. I know this sounds very conceited and probably insensitive but I don't mean it to be. There more people that come into this country, the more populated we become therefore increasing many other problems related to over population. As for illegal immigration it obviously cannot be monitored but I'm not that sure how I feel about it. It's going to sounds like I’m contradicting myself here and I'm all right with that. Most illegal immigrants do jobs that most Americans wouldn't do for much less pay and in most cases better work is done. I don't necessarily agree with illegal immigration but the issue is definitely not number one on my list to fix if I'm in a political position to do something about it. I think there are bigger issues we should worry about. I don't think I got my point across real well here because it would be much easier to verbal explain my position then try to type it.

Immigrants

Personally I know what it's like to be an immigrant in the United States, because I am one. It is very hard to come into the United States, because you have to go through alot of procedures, to be allowed to live here. I think that Americans think very low of immigrants. Immigrants do not just come here to get a better life, they normally come here because of their job. The reason why we were allowed to move in the United States, was because my dad had a job offer, and they knew that no one else in the United States could do that job in order for my dad to get it. I know it's a better life here, but coming from Canada, it isn't that bad. It is more for the money I think.

Immigrants in American Society

Today, in American society the social norm of immigrants is a negative one. Many Americans believe that immigrants bring crime to America, while others believe that they gain from having immigrants work for them. Thereofore this issue is a two sided issue. People beleive that immigrants bring crime, yet those same people will hire an immigrant for there work place because they are willing to work for extremely low wages. So What is right here? Many say that immigrants cause crime, yet those same people are looking for immigrants to work for them. It is kind of an ironic situtaion that America has come to. Throghout all of the immigration talk I have personally not heard any positive information on the issue. Almost everything I heard was negative, stating that immigrants are only hurting American Soceity. Personally, I have no comment on the issue. I don't feel like I know enough about the issue to make a formal opinion about it. All i know is that the overall opinion of America is that immigrants are not welcome here now, and probably for forever.
