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.

Argument Paper

Research papers are very difficult to write for me anyway. I am trying so hard to do my best on this paper but it is so difficult for me just to be able to write my own words and put my resources in with also. I get very frustrated and I just want to put it away and not look at it and hopefully in some way the paper would write itself. I have learned allot on how to write papers and I enjoy writing but research papers to me are not very fun to write. I like to find information on subjects that interest me and then find out more than I thought about it. I just have a hard time writing about a topic and then quoting someone and making sure that I do it correctly so I won't plagiarizes. It is very stress full! I want to do my best on this paper and I am trying to make changes to word sentences differently. Some times it's hard to think of good words top put in place of the words I repeat often. I hope my paper turn out great and I am able to do a good argument on the topic I am writing about.

Argument Paper

This paper that we are having to write is definately difficult. Its hard to find the right sources that aren't just a bunch of baloney. I have noticed that it is even harder when there is a limit on how many internet sources we are able to use. At the same time though, I can understand and justify not using too many internet sources for a paper because of the ability for it to be written by a fifth grader.
This class is definately alot harder than I thought it ever was going to be. I should have prepared more appropriately for taking this class than just showing up. With the pace and everything you really have to stay on top of everything that you do. This being my first year back in school after taking almost a full year off after high school, it really has opened my eyes to the fact college is not easy, but it is a useful resource that more people should utilize. I definately have realized I am not wasting my money by attending college.
In other classes I have taken what I've learned about works cited and other activities and applied them. It has helped me excel at other courses, now I will just have to wait and see what it gets me in this class.
