Final Post

I am really going to miss this class. Originally I thought that this class was going to be a large pain. I never enjoyed writing papers and since the title of the class is English Composition, I figured I would be writing a lot. Instead, I learned many amazing things. I learned about society, women interactions, and social stigmas. I truly enjoyed this class. Hopefully, I will be able to take another class with Lydia. It will be even more fun than the first!

Young and Sexy?

                                    Ah, I blame the fashion world.

People don't realize something is wrong until it hits them in the face.

Some Food For Thought

Through trials and tribulations this soul partially dead

A mother without empathy a father all but dead

What has the world come to but total dread?

The need for touch. The need for empathy.

The empty pit that will never fill.

How can this soul survive if no hope is to be had?

How will a soul survive without feed?

What will happen to this soul?

Lost in a battlefield, which way to go?

Do I fight with the high or do I fight with the low?

Shall I sacrifice myself so that others may survive?

Should I sacrifice others so that I may survive?

Which path should I follow if none are marked?

Which path will lead to victory?

Which path will lead to death?

Which path is best?

Which path will make me happy?

Is there such a path?

Yet again

Yet again I wonder why I force myself to read such a redundant book. Then, I remember that Lydia has made it a requirement. I do not know if I will be able to force myself to continue. Chapter five of Donald Murray's The Craft of Revision, was ever-so-slightly more intriguing than the previous disasters we were forced to read. I found the examples he wrote to be slightly more within the context of his meaning. Also, I did appreciate the fact that the rather lengthy example of Myles J. Turner did relate to the overall chapter. Similarly he demonstrated the different genres using this example quite effectively. However, what was his purpose of adding the case history of Maureen Healy? I do not think that I will ever be able to comprehend this man's mind, let alone his writing. Murray made the unfortunate mistake of focusing on a student's writing to the point of boredom. I literally had to take multiple naps just to force myself through the dreaded text. If he continues to add mass amounts of rubbish, I do not believe that I will be able to continue forward.
