splenda response

I think that the media does these types of research on products like this to stir the market because there is really no artifcial food products that are sold today that have any positive effects on are body and everyone knows that they dont they just dont pay attention. Then when issues like this are brought up it kind of opens peoples eyes, but are people going to easy up on using splenda personally i dont think so but who knows. None of this has a personal effect on me because i choose not to use products such as these.

Journal #5

- Syfer, who is displaying her self as a lesbian, wants a wife who can basically serve her as a slave. She wants her to basically raise her children while she is away at school. Then when she returns home she wants her to take care of her; by that time the kids must have done all their chores and homework and already be in bed. To some degree I think some wives are still inbedded like this. Only because of how their mothers were. It has definitely changed because women look at themselves more independent now, due to recent events that men have done.

- 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.

journal #4

- Bartholomae means that the student must create in their own perspective of how basically everything in their sorrounding is denotated as. Basically to work in all fields and in every aspect of the college world. To "invite the university" is also another way of saying that students have to find their inner writer. Since college is a much higher scale than high school, it's a way to broaden vocabulary, build sentence structure, and create a wider outlook on life.

- 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.

Rosponse

I feel that everyone has the right to no weather or not they carry the gene for cancer. It shouldnt matter to anyone how old you are when you get tested for the gene but if at a young you do find out you carry the gene then when your older maybe they will have some type of medicine that will help prevent the gene from ever forming into cancer. But if you dont know you have the gene and you do get cancer then you cant catch it at its early stages and it will be hard to get rid of. I feel as if everyones family has had cancer in it should get tested automatically because its terifying to no that you could have something like that inside of you and you dont no it.

Draft Project #1

PERSONAL BELIEF
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.

http://www.thisibelieve.org/dsp_ShowEssay.php?uid=34945&topessays=3

I thouht that the essay i read was compelling because a young man from New Orleans talked about how he thought he was a hero to himself because he learned how to over come the things that had happen to him and his city from hurricane Katrina. He talked about how he safely escaped but many didnt, and how he lost not only materialistic things but also lost friends that would never come back to be with him again. The tone of this essay is serious, and reflective because he telling what had happen in these events and how he learned and grew from them.

This essay was compelling because it gives you a reality check, because you never really understand or appreciate what you have until you loose everything and everyone you had. It's sad because it happens to few of us but when like this happens to people it really changes the way there minds think in every aspect. She uses v devastation's isual stories to showcase what she is talking about and how she now feel for the homeless that walk the streets looking and wondering what there next move shall be because there are no certainties in your life during these periods of time. The tone of this essay is definitely serious because it shows us what can happen when things like this occur.
These essays are similar because they are both talking about hurricane and how it has effected there lives in a tremendous fashion. katrina. Yes these essays do follow the instructed guidelines given to them.

 I am responding to the piece that I wrote only a few days ago for class that was to test my writing skills to see if I was proficient enough to be in this course.  The genre that I choose to write this paper in was autobiographical story, and non-fiction. Some reasons I choose to write this essay in these genres was because it was about my future so it’s about the things that I want to do with my future so that cover the reason for autobiographical story. The paper is non-fiction because I someday will own a business such as this. The audience in which I had to writing the essay to the board of the comp classes.  Some of the reasons I wrote about my long-term business goals in the essay was so that the readers could informally gain an understanding of what I enjoy doing at this point in my life, and what I want to do for the rest of my life. I feel that by writing my essay in this manner it gave the readers a better advantage of understand that I wanted to form a background behind my essay so we could have a formed a better relationship.

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.

In the news #1 access of technology

i think that technology should not be opposed in the olympic ring. If you have the technology to invent products such as shark suites and beta blockers then why not use them. These technologies want make your nature raw abilities any better it just makes it easier, and if every other country has the same technology at the disposal then that dosent give anyone an advantage.
