The internet is a nemises for society. Today with social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace, people often feel the need to vent themselves out to the public, so everyone knows the persons inner emotions, especially when it comes to celebrities. If a celebrity even says one thing online then paparazzi is all over them. The internet hides nothing. Once something is posted, anyone can obtain it. The internet can and does release anything put on it. So the internet is indeed a nemises for our society and always will be.

Neither should be choosen in public schools. Usually when told or taught to do anything by an authority figure, students usually go ahead and decide to rebell. So why would we waste our teachers time when kids today usually develop values and ethics on their own terms.

In my opinion, a good fil often keeps me entertained, makes sense, has a suprise ending. One example such as "Then Uninvited", where the young girl doesnt realize that she has killed her stepmother at the end and that her sister is actually deceased. I usually catagorize movies by how they keep me entertained, whether its by a impossible romance or a mystery, it all just depends on the movie.

Culminating Writers Profile

1.My writing style lacks a certain sense of flow and balance. But as the class began and blogs were assigned, my expectations began to change. I expected my writing to flow or at least make some sort of sense, also less "to be" verbs used in my writing, and so much more.

2. In my own writing, one strength that my explanations are specific. As I write any kind of piece, I always make sure that my reader underestands my train of thought so specific explanation is always used in my writing.

3.I have many weakneses when it comes to writing. One thing especially is my diction. My choice of words often sound vague and dull but the more I continue to write, I try to widen my vocabulary. Also the flow of my essays isn`t usually good. But I continue to have my peers read and evaluate my writing to improve my overall flow.


Evaluating Your Writing Process
1.I would definately read the passage in a more analytical way. Also the overall purpose of the essay would completely change along with the evidence given.

2.The flow and evidence were the easiest things to change.

3. Just revising the overall tone of the essay seemed challenging but I got through it

1.The purpose of the esssay and tone of the essay

2.I used alot of the writing elements discussed during the class periods.

3.My essay was easy to understand and the reader knows exactly what the purpose of the essay is.

Being Honest with Self
1. I was intimidated by the limit of "to be" verbs allowed and the length of the essay. To replace the "to be" verbs, I often needed to completely change sentences and for the length, I often would go and find more evidence to support my theory.

2.All the methods and ideas discussed encouraged me but more than anything happened to be parallel structure.

3.The other essays taught me not to be vague in my writing and to choose an essay topic that would be interesting.

4.Not to be too vague, oblivious, or dull when it came to discussing my topic.

5.I know what needs to be   improved and what needs to remain the same in my writing.
