GE 102 Experience

See you in the Fall!!!!!!!

My experience here at ECSU Model Scholars have been a trying experience. I am glad that I am going to have you as a teacher int the fall. I believe I understand grammar more due to Professor Wesley. I wish that this class did not have immature people who should have not come here because they are not serious about their education. I look forward to GE 103 because discussions we have in class are interesting and I actually feel involved. I also believe that I will get an A in your fall class because I always do my work. Also enjoy coming to class in the morning because I know it will be interesting. I really do not like a boring class because I will not listen or pay attention at all. Professor Wesley is not a boring teacher. But I have to say that I am glad I wont see some of these people in the fall class. I am happy that professor Wesley take her job an people education seriously and I like the fact that she does not baby people when they are old enough to take care of themselves. I look forward to coming back in the fall to ECSU. At first attending this school I was thinking about transferring to a different university but I think this program help me change my mind.

G.R. Little Experience

G.R. Little library is catalog different from any library I have ever seen. I have taken Library/Media Studies all through high school and knew where everything was but at this library I had to learn all over again. I absolutely love any library I go to because I love to read personally. The key words search in the library for my argumentative essay were: justice, racism, classification. I check out six book that is related to my essay. I read through the table of contents to sticky note places that relate, so I can go back and read to put passages in my essay. I found book on race classification that due with work and equality.  I started my outline last night so I could be prepared today. I am proud of my self because if i had not written my outline last night I would have been struggling to start this essay. lately starting has been my issue when writing an essay. I found so good passages that I can elaborate and explain to prove my argument. I feel confident in this essay because it should be easy to convince someone after they finished reading my paper that my argument is true.

Argumentative Essay

For my argumentative essay the claim I am going to use is issues of definition. The reason I chose this claim because I can explain the factors that go into the argument. Also I believe this will help me understand  the direction I need to go in order to start my essay.Arguing that this is a white mans world it a strong topic because what i am arguing is happening everyday in society, even though we are all suppose to be equal. Discussion today is absolutely true in today's society in high school all you see if click that are  broken and then put back together with someone else. But the high school I came from i felt like the only real click was the athletic in all sports. What Penrod said about smart kind back in the day was not popular in school but I feel like when I was in high school the smart kids were the coolest because our school took pride in intelligence. I think being smart is great because you at least know something. I rather know something than know nothing at all.

Discussion

I think it is so crazy how we spend over $10 billion  dollars on fast food. when clearly people need to start cooking at home because it cheaper for their pockets. People need to think about their life span if they are not healthy and some people do not care. which is ridiculous because every life is precious and valued. But I believe we do have a huge problem in obesity (no pun intended).  Also how it is crazy that it is so cheap to buy fast food when it is expensive to eat healthy. For example Whole food is an organic provider but they are expensive. I think it should be expensive to eat unhealthy fast food and inexpensive to eat healthy. In America people are so impatient and lazy they want everything quick and easy. No body takes their health seriously unless they want to live a long time. Also the fact that little children are being diagnosed with adult diabetes is not something to brag about or no care. I did not know that is is a gene that is involve in obesity. I would like to know if I have that gene. even though I am considerate about what I eat I love Red Robin burgers.

Kids Influence by television and games

I agree that kids watching violent shows and playing violent games has an influence on their actions. Some parents do not teach their kids right from wrong because some parent believe that television has no affect once so ever on their children. My mother did not allow my brother to watch Family Guy because of the violence and profanity but she had a talk with him and then gave him permission to watch it. But I would not allow my children to watch profanity until they were out of my house. Violence is an constant event in people childhood and by the children watching violence all the time make them want to act out of violence. Some parents do not know that they have parental control over what their children watch. That is exactly why there is so much violence in school shootings now. Kids see on games how easy it is to kill someone and it is influence to them.  Personally I wish people would be aware of what is happening and do something about. I think when i get back home I am going to talk to my mom about it.

1965 The End

Everything started to make sense. Sula and Nel are more alike than I thought. at first when Eva was saying Nel is the one who killed Chicken Little I really thought she was delusional. I am sad that Sula is at an end because I rather enjoyed that book more than I expected. Sula and Shadrack is the same which I have just come to realize. I had an idea that Nel really missed Sula instead of Jude. Sula and Nel have been friend for forever and frankly if me and my best friend betrayed each other we are close to the point we might need a little space but we have known each other too long to through away four years. But it was too late for Nel she realized that she lost a good friend.I see the reason why Sula and Nel were friends because they were alike in many ways. The way the town acted towards Sula death was sad because they could not reach down in their hearts to respect the dead.  That make me think about respect towards people, which is really sad in today's world. I started to really enjoy this book when Sula cheated with Jude. But I have to say I would not read this book in my spare time.

Technology Feedback

I enjoyed using Animoto because the effects of the video is cool. As well as the different videos we can pick to show our creative side. I would like to use Animoto more than Popplet. Popplet to me is like a Gloster because the only thing i really out on my popplet is videos and Glogster. But in my opinion I wish Animoto did not have to cost because I would use it all the time for projects and presentations. I do not think today was a technology overload because we use technology everyday. Animoto wins to this technology battle because it is cooler than just pictures and words. The effects in my video is the coolest thing. I picked that type of video style because when i watched the preview for the video i thought about evolution. how things around you are always changing no matter what the time or day. i never knew about Animoto until today and I am thankful that Professor Wesley for introducing this to our class.
