Buffy-Halloween

Buffy was and interesting show. I remember hearing it many different places but never really bother to watch it. I am not a big fan of T.V. shows and rarely ever watch them. When we watched the episode "Halloween", in class, I thought that it was alright for a T.V. show. Even for how old it was. I liked the storyline it had and how they added in humor to what seemed like a cheesy horror show in the beginning of the episode. I also liked how they started to add suspense in the end and started to give us a different look at the teacher. They made him look wise in the beginning, then near the end started to make us think differently of the teacher. The fight scene in the beginning was pretty cheesy with the effects, but overall if i had to, i wouldn't mind watching another episode.

My Fav. Book

My favorite book or books I should say was a seris i read back in highschool. The name of the seris was called Pendragon. Out of the 10 book i only read 4 or 5 i think. I like the fiction that is behind all the books. How one kid is supposed to save is territory, or so they call it, by saving all the others from an evil Mastermind named Saint Dane. The name of the main hero is Bobby Pendragon. The book named " The Reality Bug", which is one of the books in the series was my least favorite. In that book Bobby actually loses to Saint Dane. My favorite book out of the 4 or 5 i read in the series would be "The Merchant of Death". This was the first book to start off the series, and i liked how the plot was set up. In the book Bobby learns of things called flumes. These flumes were portals that took travelers, who were people that were able to use flumes, to other territories. Saint Dane is the evil traveler and he is the one that starts to push that certian territory into choas by making a mjor event go wrong. The first book introduced all of what Bobby was going to endure. It was my favortie, so far!

The working Thesis

Thesis: Global Warming is a big issue and the Coral Reefs are going to get hit the worst, first.

For Ethos I can say that if the coral start to bleach then they are dying but have a chance to recover, but at the rate it is now, there is very little hope for that.
For pathos I can use that if these wonderful and colorful organisms of nature die. Many exotic fish and coarl will disappear and people will not be able to view these spectacular organisms.
For Logos I could use that if these coral die, then many people in the States will not have the seafood that the reefs were supplying.

reflection of class

So far the experiences I have had in this class are very good. The papers are making me better at researching and writing then any other paper i have written. I believe I am getting better because of all the different papers that we have to do. I was only used to doing one big research paper in ninth grade and not having to do one again. Up until now, I have learned that research papers can be a favorite thing in a few classes. When I first came to class I was just expecting it to be like any other type of English class. Where the teacher would just give out a reading assignment and some problems out of a book and call it good. I did expect the one or two different essays we would have to write. When we got a few days in that view certainly changed. I found out that we did not have just a few essays but in fact we had a whole list of essays.
I am not the strongest writer and I hope that the constant rep. of writing papers can help make me a bit more succesfull. I also like the experience in class. I enjoy the class on certian days when we have things to do that make us active. Like the day we had the brainstorming ideas. It made not only thinking of topics a little easier but in a way it engaged my mind. The experiences are great and I probably won't forget how to write these papers. Since it is the most we have learned about. Also it is the biggest stuff that we need to complete otherwise...bad grade in the class.

Reflection of narrative

This narritve is the first of all papers that I had to write in college. In a way i feel like i didn't do that great of a job. My paper did have many erros that i had not caught. The setup of the paper was also a little bit different then what was expected. I did not put enough time. As time went on though a lot of those mistakes were fixed and the only issue left by the 2nd draft was that i still did not fix the setup. I still need to so that it can do more explaining about how i changed as a person rather than the events. I guess i thought i had it down but events seemed to story like. Now for my final draft i may have to rewrite all of it so that it can be in a more different form than before. This paper was really different than other papers i have ever wrote since i had to tell how i changed with some major event. I didn't try hard enought and will try even harder on the final draft to put the events on the right track
