process analysis

After we were told we had to pick a topic for our process analysis paper, which I am not good at, that's all I think about. If I am driving to a certain place I think, oh the directions would be a process paper. Even when I got my ultrasound done the other day I thought of the process paper. The ultrasound tech had a student and was explaining the process to the student the whole time. Even with all the options I am still having a hard time picking a topic.

So, last semester almost no writing was required for any of my classes. This semester, almost all 5 classes require alot of writing. Hopefully ill at least be able to write well when all is said and done. I am liking the book , Im a stranger here myself . I lived in Germany for almost 6 years as soldier in the Army, and i can relate to alot of what he has written, at least what iv read so far.

am...,I don't know what to write about. well, what I'm trying to say is that my life is boring. My classes are happen to be hard, because of my lack of interest on material I'm learning. I very much force myself to learn these things, because I have to, not because I have the interest of learning them. I spend hours reading the a signed material, but still, I do not comprehend what I'm reading. Again lack of interest.
Psychology make me feel abnormal, and make me question myself "What is normal anyway?" I can't stand all the disorders that people have...; called themselves normal! Nobody is normal. What is it that tick me off about Anatomy? Oh yeah, it's just hard Period! I don't know what make people think zooming in the vagina is easy. Some things are mean to be left unseen or unread; vagina is one of them. We need to talk, not write. And there, is where the hatre of writing come in. I'm not much of a talker, but prefer to get my point across through talking. No need to get creative with words now, is there?
It's helpful if you love everyone you work with, but that is not always the case. I love my job, but hate the little "Bret" that work with me. He actually admit that he is racist. I am just waiting right now, if they don't fire he, I'll have to..., anyway change of subject. Well, life isn't fair, but who said it is? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha h...; dude cut it out!

I can't believe how similar this college writing class is to my intro to public speaking class. The first three chapters of our book are just like the things I went through in public speaking. For example writing a thesis, the body, the conclusion, and how important the first sentence (the attention getter) is. The class are also similar because we are doing process essays in here, and demonstration speeches in public speaking. The process essay involves writing how to do something, and the speech is showing it. I thought that was very interesting.

Today, i was thinking about chapter nine. I use processes all the time, I just don't think about them as a process but maybe a routine. Routines are the small things, like getting ready in the morning or driving to school. I know i use a process to make mac and cheese. Also in my accounting class we use a process for every little step throughout the accounting cycle.

Today in class I learned a few things including differences between informative which is when the audience learns what your talking about but is not expected to perform the steps, usually tells how something is done by others, and usually technical or personal. And Directional has instructions to follow, needs development and content to move from list.

I don't have a class that is too much similar to this one, but I did do a lot of writing in high school English. This semester I am taking four classes, business communications, employee processes, intro to computer tech. and college writing. none of my classes have to much relation so far, but maybe as the semester goes on I will notice more things. the only class I can say has some relation to English 1101 is business communications. So far in business communications class, we have studied grammar, parts of speech, and spelling, which could be very useful for a writing class such as this one.

The only thing that my classes and this class is connected to is writing papers. In High School, I had a speech class and our first speech was a how to speech so thats a connection. I got a C on it but thats not the point. I also had writing fundamentals last semester and thats another connection too. If you want to be really in depth this is kind of like my principals of bookkeeping class because the paper we are starting to write is a directional process paper and my bookeeping class is following steps and making sure its write so that is a comparision. I have a couple Ideas for my paper but not sure which one to use yet thats what i will figure out tonight. The housekeeping story in the book i thought that that woman was crazy for loving to do that job i used to be a housekeeper and i now have total respect for them and i hated housekeeping but it was a job.

Hi! I don't have any classes that are link together as far as I know. Last semester I had one class that links with this 1101 class. Of course it is the Writing Fundamentals class! Anyways, today we were assigned to write a 1 1/2 page rough draft that is due on Friday. Thanks to my writing Fundamentals class and to my currently instructor this will be easier to write. In that class we did a process paper too. It was very similar to the one we have to turn in on Friday. So I hope that with what I learned last semester and with the chapter 9 reading I can come up with a good paper!

Ok so i'm taking two science classes and this college writing class this semester. Both of my science classes do not connect with this class. Until I thought long and hard and came up with something. I don't know if it's a good one, but it's something. In our nutrition class we are learning about how you should eat and how much and what's good for you. And in college writing we talk about how we apply all these different writing things to our lives. So how they connect is how you should use things in your life. Now we are learning more in depth about different styles of papers and how to write them. In nutrition we are learning the more complex parts of nutrients and how to apply them to your daily diet.

Tie it up!

The thing I can tie in as the class goes thus far into any part of my daily life is the Bill Bryson book we are reading. I have been reading just more than the required reading for this book (which is more than I can say for the required), but this book has so many things that I think about on a day to day basis going on in it that it really blows my mind. I am sure as the semester progresses I will find other similarities in my other classes, work, etc, that tie in with 1101.

All the classes that I am taking this spring are pretty different. There are only a few I am taking that i would say connect at all and those would have to be phych., soc., and first year experience. Other then that I can't really apply what I'm learning in math to my college writing class. And as far as my FYE class, that's just a giving that it applies to just about every class. But I'm sure as the year progresses I will use things I learn in one class to help me in another class.

it really does all tie together

its weird after it was mention to see how your classes are tied together...its true. Whats funny is that all my teachers have said 'think about how your classes tie together'. English and Speech especially. In speech we touched based on how to narrow something down; how to pick a topic to talk about. Your audience and why is it important to talk about. So Im trying to use what i learned in speech for this and how to narrow down wat to talk about. And well im stuck. Im trying to think of something that everyone isn't going to pick...like how to make a sandwhich or how to make cookies, even though yes, it did in fact cross my mind. Right now im getting my CNA license and talking about process in this class...all it is in my nursing class is process paper after process paper it seems like. So many steps. Even though our notes are in a outline form how the teacher is giving it in is deffinite process paper form. I could talk more but it would probably get a little boring. Today i just really, really realized how much my classes are related and are tied together. Pretty cool, and helpful.

This semester I am taking a lot of business class, for I am going in to business, sales, marketing, and manegment. As of know I am really enjoying all of my class. The class that I am really starting to like is my sales class. She to me is an all around likeable teacher. She teaches her class very well, for it is a learning style I enjoy. I have been learning a lot of other great thing in the first few weeks of this semester. I can’t wait for what is yet to come.

little something on chapter 9

Hi there, so I was reading up in my hand dandy student writer book, witch was writing by Barbara Fine Clouse. I learned in, chapter nine a little on how there is proper way of write a process paper. I found that a process paper is kind of like describing. In the way of getting someone to feel as if they where doing it the self’s. The process comes from telling some one how you would do it in steps.
Thing that could be good to write on may be setting up for fishing, clean a gun, putting gas in your car and so on things that you have a process in getting it finish.

College Writing is a lot like my speech class I am also taking this semester. We discuss many of the same things. Some of the things that are the same is knowing your audience, knowing you audience helps you relate to the things that want to hear about or about new things you can teach your classmates about. Also like techniques to use to get people to pay attentions to what your saying and remembering it. The only major difference is in college writing you don't have to get up a read it out load in front of the whole class! Thank goodness!

Classes

This semester I am continuing to take classes to go towards my generals. some of the classes I am taking are Psychology, Writing I, Economics, and Algebra. So far I like all my classes, although I seem to have a lot more homework then in the fall semester. I dont really mind having homework in each class I just need to get back in the habbit of having to study and do homework. Some of the classes that I think might be a little difficult for me are my Writing I class and my Economics class. Only because these classes are probably going to require me to put more effort into studying and doing my homework. So far I like all my teachers, and classes but we'll see if anything changes as the semester goes on.

Junk Food Heaven

I know exactly where Bill is coming from when he says he has missed his junk food. I lived in a household where if my mom was on a diet, so was everyone else in the house. She bought everything non-fat, less fat, low-fat. It drove us all insane! So once I moved out on my own I was finally relieved that I could eat whatever I wanted! But that all came to an end soon. After not eating sweets for a while it kind of makes me sick to eat them now. I barely even go out for fast food anymore, and I love it. This world is becoming obese and this whole chapter really explains why. The whole grocery store is high sugar, high fat foods, while in the little corner in the back is the fresh and healthy foods.

Journal 1

Wednesday lecture was kind of fun because the instructor talk about different things. One of the things I liked the most was when she gave us the option to choose ten out of the eighteen fill in the blanks. I enjoyed this because it reminded me about my past and present life. I remembered how I was never the same after I got married and how I changed my way of thinking as I grew older etc. Anyways, I really enjoyed the assignment that day.

Junk or Heaven?

When reading the short story Junk Food Heaven in our book i was reading it as a woman's voice which later changed how i read the story. But what i think is really cool is that second paragraph is a type of flash back and i didnt realize it until just now looking back at the story. And it makes the whole story just come together which is odd that it's in the begining at the story and you have to realize it after your done reading the whole thing. sorry if this isn't making any sense its making perfect sense in my head. ill get better i promise. Bare with me. So anyway reading it at first i felt a little sorry for the guy becuause his wife is a health freak but then once he started talking about going to the store and picking everything in sight that is fattening i deffinetly saw where it was going...but when he walking about the ho-hos and all the junk food and how its american culture all i could think about was "no shit america is just a big fat ass" and that there is such a huge problem with weight. Well duh when all there is fatty foods. I felt so ashamed to live here almost. Embarassed. Embarassed to say yeah i live in America you know the country where everyone is fat or over weight. yeah that one! I just thought it was a little ironic that i read this story and the night before I had just watched this special on TLC about these people who were 600,900 and 1030 pounds. Americans are the biggest lazy asses ever hate to say it. Its true we do buy mircowave pancakes and marshmellow goo. Its actually quite gross. And I just laughed when the man's wife made him eat it all and he just was disgusted. I found it awesome! Mostly I like that the second paragraph tied the whole story together. The breakfast pizza in his fridge which he couldn't eat. Good story. :)

Class Connections

The classes that I have taken this year are all foundations to get me prepared for the dental program. I always wonder why I need to know most of the things I am learning. Why would someone who cleans teeth need to know how to do math problems, public speak, write well-formed sentences, and learn the whole human body, and not just the mouth? Well, not even a quarter of a second semester in, I’ve realized that all these skills are important for any career. It’s good to know math, even just a little. Public speaking is a class that helps people communicate with others, which is a good trait, especially being a dental hygienist. The human body is a must, so that we can understand how everything works. When a hygienist cleans teeth, he or she is aware of what kind of pressure to use, and what kind of nerves to avoid, because it could affect a major part of the body. No employer would want to hire anyone that does not know how to write good sentences, it shows lack of education/knowledge. So, now I understand why I am taking the classes that I am. The classes all work together to help me understand what is necessary for the career I choose!

cLaSsEs tHiS sEmEsTeR

I really like my classes this semester! on Tuesdays and Thursdays i have two classes starting at ten o clock. my two classes are Economics and then about an hour and a half later i have Intermediate Algebra. I really like the teachers i have to. Mr. Grubb is loud but it is a good thing to keep me awake that early in the morning. On Monday Wednesday and Friday I have class starting at eleven which is nice to sleep in a little bit longer. I start those days off with Psychology which was my favorite subjest in high school and then about an hour later i go to college writing. I'm taking these four classes to satisfy my goals and then either to transfer to MSUM or stay here at this college and pick a Major to go into. I'm undecided as of right now so generals is what im taking. I really need to get into school mode, that long break is still affecting me! !

Junk Food Heaven

I think the purpose of the essay "Junk Food Heaven" is to point out the changes from childhood to adult. He wants to feel like a kid again by eating all of the junk food he can find, but in the end realizes that its not all that great and healthy food can be good too. I think this composition is directed to those who are in the transition stages from being a teenager to an adult. He is showing that some of the things that were great as a kid can't be great forever. His strategy is showing how it seems so great at first, but then exposing the after effects, and proving that sometimes adult choices are the better choices. I liked this piece, it was comical and yet still informative, but it did not directly state the information, instead it told of his enjoyment with what will end up to be the mistake in the end.

Junk Food Battle

After reading this chapter it is obvious that the food has taken over the planet in this Bill Brysons mind. Not quite sure why they do not have the junk we have here in the states in the U.K. but whatever the reason Bill thought he missed "it". After buying all the sugar coated this and cheese covered that, he is definitely more than happy to go back to basics. I think this does say something for portion control at least.

junk food heaven

The junk food heaven is mostly targeting men and women (husband and wife). The author had used process and cause & effect style of writing. The story teller, who happen to be a husband had first plan to go to the store with his wife because the wife wasn’t bring the right (junk) food home. Then he went to the store and got the kind of food he wanted then after awhile he decided he didn’t want the kind of food. The cause & effect was that his wife makes him eat the junk food he wants and final got sick of it and didn’t taste good anymore. The main point of this article is to stress the part that women know what is best for their men. And men should trust their women and not finding out for themselves how bad something is. I liked it, it was kind of funny. I had fun reading it.

Junk Food

I believe the main purpose the author was trying to make was that as we age, junk food really becomes less desirable. Also, we need to understand that we all need to start eating better to improve our health. He referenced Hostess Cupcakes as one food he could not believe did'nt really taste good to him anymore. A snack which sounds like it was one of his favorite's growing up.
I feel he was really trying to appeal to all ages who were able to read this book. Not only to the adults who are likely experiencing the same likes and dislikes. But also to the younger age groups who can read this and maybe learn that we need to start eating better.
One strategy he used was to describe the junk food in his fridge in a really unfavorable way. He seemed to go out of his way to make the food really sound gross to the reader.
I liked reading the essay, I really related to the author throughout. I found myself drawing mental pictures of the junk food and also having the feeling of not really liking those types of food anymore myself.

Im a Stranger here myself

I am reading a book called “I’m a stranger here myself”. I read a story on junk food heaven. I felt that the purpose of the story, to me, was trying to tell and show us that U.S.A junk food is just not all that it is cut out to be. I felt the author was trying to show the U.S.A what junk food was really like. This was the audience he was targeting.
I felt that is was very funny.

Did you know that the infamous John lennon seen as a symbol of peace has likely killed a man? When the beatles where starting out in Hamburg ,Germany the band wasn't making enough to cover rent so they went out and Paul and John would mug people. But John was very violent and Paul said "that one time John kept on beating this guy after he was unconsess and then they ran when he stoped breathing." Because of the violence that John did in his past he believed through karma that he would die a painfull death. (Which he did.)

Junk - Food Heaven

I think the purpose of Junk-Food Heaven is that everything is good in proportion, the author wanted to have junk food in his home but he became consumed with junk food and ended up hating it in the end and wanting to eat something his wife had bought and was in the house the whole time. I think the audience of this chapter was anyone who grocery shops mostly adults. I think one strategy he uses is using brand names makes it easy to relate to what he is talking about. The author also goes into detail making it even easier to understand how nasty this food really is. I liked the point of this chapter and I liked how he described everything.

junk food heaven

The purpose of this I think was to inform readers of how much change has occurred in the types of food out there and how growing up may influence the types of food you may have liked when you were younger compared to the types you like now.
The audience that he is most likely aiming for is most likely just the general public, or anyone who finds this topic interesting. And I think that he uses brands and names that most people will recognize so that they can relate to the situations he is writing about. He also throws in a little humor to keep the readers reading.
All in all I don't really read much but when I have to I like the things I'm reading to be interesting and even though this was kind of a random subject I managed to keep on reading so it wasn't all that bad. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what sort of other random subjects get brought up in this book.

I chose Junk Food Heaven as the chapter I wanted to talk about. The purpose of this is He hadn't had junk food in a while so he wanted to try it and thought it looked good. In the End he didn't like it as much as he did when he was younger and always have mix reactions to the food. The Audience of this chapter is probably teenagers to adults. I think that he uses junk food and how he has never had it in a while and people wanted to read it because they want to see how he reacts to eating that much junkfood. I actually liked this because i remembered it and thought it was a interesting topic to write about.

Junk-Food Heaven

I think that the purpose of this reading, is to inform people that even though junk-food may taste good, or look better then many healthy foods in all actuality it is really bad for you. Also that sometimes junk-food may taste good occasionally, but in mass quantities it may make you feel sick. I think the audience the author is trying to target in general is all Americans, but mostly younger generations that have grown accustomed to fast food and poor eating habits. Some of the strategies the author uses to inform his audience that junk-food is not the healthiest choice, is talking about the chemicals that keep the food product preserved, the way even the sight of junk food made him feel sick to his stomach, and describing the taste in textures of the food in a negative light. My response to the authors essay is that most of what he rights is very true. Americans thrive on junk food, I mean think of all the fast food chains that extremely successful. The reason that they are so successful is because they are easily accessible and fast. Two things that Americans love, and that is why I agree with the author in the sense that Americans thrive on junk-food.

First blog

The purpose of the chapter seems to me to be about the things we dont understand but work with everyday, such as the example given about the moble phone. How they work all around the world sending voices to other peoples ears, but they cant do the same with pizzas. The audience that he is directing to is the genral public and his strategies are pretty simple. Just by giving examples like the size of engines and stuff.. for what i have read of this book so far its very unimpressive.

junk- food heaven

I think that the purpose of this reading is to inform us that junk food isn't really that good for you and that it makes you very unhealthy, even though it tastes good. I think that the author is targeting all of us but mostly younger adults because we are the ones that are all getting bigger and eating unhealthier food because of all the fast food and junk food that is easily assessable. The author used stratigies that were very good like telling us how delicious all the junk food was and how it was going to taste so good but in the end it made him sick and he didnt want to eat it anymore. It is also showing that there are people, like your parents who tell you to eat healthy because it is good for you but most kids dont listen and end up with a stomach ache. The stratagie is saying that healthy food is alot better for you then junk food. i think that this is a very good artical because it is very true, i love to eat junk food but to mush of it can make me sick and it makes me feel alot better to eat a good healthy meal rather then snacks all day.

I think the purpose of the short story, was doing the same think over and over sometimes is not the best thing. For example he talks about eating all these good junk food even thought they are not good for your health. He believes that this is the way of the American life. He also did not like the fact that his wife was bringing home healthy food. I believe that he is trying to tell us what create obesity are supermarkets that is what his is telling us as audience without coming out and saying it. He also use words the can be identify as what obesity line the junk food, because if you but all these together that’s what we find out depending on what your minds think off at that’s point

Junk- Food Heaven

Purpose
I think that the purpose of this article was that a person can not eat junk food all the time. Junk food can be good once in a while, but should not be eaten for every meal. Even though it seems so good, it will eventually get old. He is showing and targeting so many of us who do the same things he described in the article.

Audience
I think the audience he was trying to target was the average American. He just describes what so many of us do when we eat, and go grocery shopping.

Strategies
I think the strategies he used was giving examples so many different kinds of examples. For example when he described cereal, cheese from a can, and toaster pastries. He also gives examples of how the average American consumes 17.8 of pretzels every year.

Response
I really liked this article. I think that it sounded like me when I go to the grocery store. I think that most Americans do eat a lot of junk food these days.

junk food heaven

I think he wrote this article to prove that our society is kind of going down the waste side, once a person can get them selves used to a certain eating style either healthy or bad they usually stick to it and when they try a different style that they arent used to they dont like it just like anything else if you speak english and you try to learn to speak german you probably wont like it because your not used to it.
I think the audience he was trying to get to was just anyone who wants to read it because i dont think theres a certain age group or sex or anything in general that he was aiming at just trying to get it across to people. It's a pretty simple article.
The strategies to get our attention and so on, is using a lot of detail and making sure we understand what he is talking about by using examples.
I liked the article because I have been in the same boat a few times with that food issue my fiance always tries making me try different foods and when your used to certain style of foods you usually try sticking to them and thats what im good at.

Junk- food heaven

I think the purpose of this essay it to talk a little about how some people(Americans) just get use to eating junk food. There is aisles at the supermarket full of just junk food, like cheese out of a can and breakfast pizza. Then after a few weeks of eating junk he just couldnt just eat junk he just wanted healthy food again.
I think the audience he was targeting was young people to people who want to change the way they eat.
I think his tratagi of sharing all the different types of junk food and the way he went all out and in alot of details on the junk food. he alos shared the out come of having to eat junk food for a few week .
I did like the essay on junk food becauseof the detail the author put into it to keep my attention (job well done) the out come was not what I expected so that was even better.

Junk-Food Heaven p.55-58

The purpose of this essay is clearly to show how american food should not be considered food. It is so filled with chemicals to preserve the food, that its quality does not even compare to nutritional, good food.
The audience is any U.S. citizen that wants to hear the truth about the so called "good food" that we have become so accostumed to (that which we probably wouldn't like if we weren't used to it.)
The strategy he uses is an expiriment performed by himself. (buying tons of junk food and eating every last unsatisfying bit of it.) He adds funny comments such as "I longed for melted cheese that was in the shade of yellow unkown to nature."(haha!)(56)
I liked this essay! It made me laugh, but also kind fo disgusted to know that we eat food that is just so bad for us, and don't even realize it anymore. So many preservatives and additives that we just can't resist! I like the sarcastic humor, it makes it kinda fun to read, and makes you giggle in your head while reading.

Bryson- Life's Mysteries

Life's Mysteries (Pg. 198-201)
I don't think there was to much of a purpose to this chapter except to get people's minds thinking. It is target audience is everyone. He asks random question. I liked this chapter because he asks questions everybody wonders about and gets you thinking well after you are done reading it. Some questions are serious, while some are humorous.

Hello

The purpose of writing this essay is to remind you that you can always go home. Yeah you might forget some of the techniques and be out of the ordinary, for instance, not remembering the name something in a hardware store. I believe his audience would target young people who move away from home and soon realize they have forgetton their natural home. His strategies, he uses his examples when he moves back home. What I thought about this essay was, it was nice, because, I didn't find it boring. I somewhat can relate myself to this essay, because soon, I will be going back home, and im sure I will not remember everything.
