- Her writing style in a nutshell is needy, and dramatic. She does things that i usually wouldnt do in writing my papers. Some reasons why i wouldnt use her style of writing is because its to much exampling at once. Its just to much for you to take in all in one reading.
- Some of the injustices of todays society is adultery. I feel like back in the early 70's there wasnt as much cheating as today. Couples of today are mostly temperary, then after a couple years it all falls apart because they got married to fast and didnt know that they didnt mesh well togather. The men are usually the cheaters in the relationship and they are the ones that leave the women with the kids and all these issues, then they try not to give them the money they need to support there children because they diceded to cheat and screw the women over.

- Bartholomae is basically saying that when people become college students, they have the right to become whoever they want. They are most opened to opportunity, to create something new, and claim an original idea.
- The two examples are basically noncomparable... One is that of the student who ventures outside of the basic writing would to create a new aspect of everything; then on the other hand is the student who is trapped beyond compare in the basic writing world... Only just to get by.

Draft Project #1
Personal belief was developed after the Great Awakening. Soon after, people realized that they didn’t have to listen to the Protestant or Catholic Church for their everyday decisions. My personal beliefs are simple and short. It consists of three concepts; eat healthy, have respect for everyone and go with your first instinct. I believe that my personal beliefs came about due to the way I was raised and the different environments that I was around while growing up. Knowing now that all my personal beliefs make me the better person that I am, I have come to fully accepting who I am. A lot of people don’t accept who they are.
Eating healthy is number one on my list because the way I look is very important to me. Image is everything where I am from and without the right image most people look at you different or don’t accept you. What I put inside my body all effects how I am feeling for the day. In my personal opinion, choosing to eat healthy affects the way I think and how my body will respond to my daily routines and activities. My food consumption by far has shaped me to what I look like, smell like, taste like, and feel like. It gives me a great source of energy and most of the time I can tell just by the way I eat that that is a reason for my lack of illnesses. Eating healthy is not some strict intense diet that I follow; it’s just watching what I eat because I know it affects everything that I do.
Respect in opinion is acknowledging someone else’s beliefs or values. Knowing the golden rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you, I try and follow it so that I don’t curse myself down the road. Keeping the high level of respect gives the overall advantage in certain cases. To live peacefully in this world we must show respect to everyone, because everyone is not the same. Some people have different cultures, everyone looks different, and some people aren’t able to do the thing I can do. Respect is mainly looked at as the moral obligation to show tribute to someone else’s beliefs and values. Having respect for people will bring anyone a long way, sometimes not even depending on the circumstances.
My gut feeling is what I use to make every decision from day to day. Learning to always use first instinct has gotten me farther than I could have imagined. Sometimes to repeat bad mistakes I’ll accidently go with the second choice. Always to be disappointed and learning that the first choice was correct. For example, a couple days ago I was in line at McDonald’s about to order a grilled chicken breast combo, substituting the fries for apple slices. But instead I chose a Big Mac and a large fry. To my dismay I woke up the next morning throwing up from food poisoning and an angry stomach. Although my personal beliefs may change throughout the course of my life, I know that these are the ones to carry me to where I am today. Choosing certain paths from first instinct, and my appearance coming from my dietary habits, and having the friends and people in my life by the respect that I give towards them. All my personal beliefs has given me my strong proud name; Greg Moppert. Another strong Italian brother.

Most of the reasons for my writing were so that I could lay out my 30 year long term business goals, to show how I am going to accomplish owning and operating my own car dealership. However I feel I did a good job of accomplishing this in the essay that I wrote because I laid some reasons out about how I am going to get the money that is needed, how I was going to keep the business running, and the preferred location of the dealerships. Now that I look at my piece from a rhetorical situation stand point every time you write this is a factor. Therefore the better you our as a writer you will learn how to adapt to the different writing situations.
