Rules for Writers Ch. 4

In chapter 4 focuses on building effective paragraphs. One important thing in a paragraph is the main point it should be clear and the readers should be able to know what the paragraph is about. Also the rest of the paragraph should focus around the main point. There are different patterns to organize a paragraph in 4c it shows the examples of doing it. Once you get the a pattern then you paragraph will be easier to form and then to go on from there.

I will use this chapter as a reference when i am stuck on a paragraph because it has shown me new ways to make a paragraph easier to build. Also helped me realize that I have to make sure that my paragraph is clear so my readers wont get lost and they can stay focused through out the hole thing. This chapter will be very important in the future because it show information that I can use in my future essays.

Superman and Me

Smart Indians were dangerous to Indians and people that were not Indians because they were expected to fail and not answer any questions in class , and also they wouldn't want they to help a teacher and do anything to make themselves seem like they know anything. they would get bullied if they were smart and it wasn't only by the people that are not Indians because they didn't have any expectations. So others were scared that they could get better jobs and make more money and have a successful life. This also effects the society but in a positive way and if one is close to their family or a cult its hard to step out and want to do your own thing because then they are pointing fingers and looking at you if your doing something wrong but all your trying to do is better your self. That is all Alexie was trying to do with his life and it was something he loved to do and he was fallowing his dreams.

Now in society one is expected to be smart and go far in life and if you don't you either feel lost or that you didn't try hard enough and even feel like you failed your self or someone. No one can make you do anything in life at the end of the day it will be all about you and what you really want to do with you life and every decision that you make will make a difference in your life. And it seems that Alexie learned that at a young age and he realized that he just needed to do something for himself and for other in his life and those around him. Education can save someones life because it can teach them what is out there and new things that they didnt know about them selfs. Alexie knew that if he could do it others can to and he wanted to show the students that he works with that education life has more opportunities and more doors open if you try.
"I refused to fail."
How can education change someones life for ever?

Rules for Writers, Chapers 2 and 3

Chapter two focuses on the different parts of drafting and essay, you start out with your thesis which is the main focus of your writing piece. For a thesis to be done you have to do it they you have to revise it a couple of times before its done. Then the body paragraphs have to support your thesis. Sometimes it easier if before you start writing you have a plan of what you want to say a Little like sketching it out before actually putting it on the paper. It also helps if your know the order that you want your information to go so it can be well organized on the paper and to make sure that its not going back and forth because if it does you might miss out somethings that you want to say or they wont be able to fit in properly into they essay.

Chapter three its about revising your work. When doing so you should make sure that you do it more than once because you might catch other mistakes that you didn't see before and you might be surprised how may other things you might want to change after the first revision. Make sure that when you are revising you keep in mind who your audience is and who you are writing it to. You might want to take out a lot or you might find your self adding other things that you didn't realize you could. After you do everything you possibly think you can do to change and move things around to make it better you should proofread it. That would have to be the last step before turning it in. Proofreading is something you might want to make time to do because it is time consuming and it is the final thing to do to make sure your essay is the way you want it to be.

Educational Goals

To start off i want to say that I like school. So far I've liked all my classes and I find them more interesting then when I was in high school and I think its because I actually get to chose what I want to take. I'm hoping this class helps me improve my writing skills and the way that I write because I have the tendency to repeat my self and then I don't really know how to make it sound better. I like to pace my self when i do my work i don't like when I'm rushed because I feel like I don't really get to say what I want to when I am doing it.

My plans for next year are that I'm going to move to Texas with my best friend and i am really exited. my parets dont want me to leave but i know if i dont do it now i will never have the chance to do it again, so i feel like i have to take this oppertunity that i have and not throw it away and at least i will never have to live with asking my self what if? or why didnt i ever...?. We have been planing to move since our senior year of high school but it has never worked out, but I'm so thankful that I'm finally going to be able to accomplish this goal.
