Last blog

Wow, this is the last blog. This semester went really fast. I can’t believe today is the last day. My writing has improved a lot. This year in my English class I learned how to use the MLA formatting. Which I am sure I will need in many other classes in my University years. I can now write a paper faster than I did in my previous year. I wish I had more time to perfect my English vocabularies in my papers. I think the richer the words are the better the papers will turn out. We had written three different kinds of essay this semester. I think the enjoyable paper for me will be the media, just because there are so many things to talk about. I tend to go beyond what my topic is sometimes. Another thing I have trouble is that I tent to scrabble lots of ideas. And I am still not all that good at any of those areas. I think the blog or the analysis was good idea thou remembering to write the blog was no joke. I don’t know what else to write about writing in this class. I am at least happy with the fact that I am now will do write a paper and have a basic idea about the structure of MLA format. I think I mat my 250 words hopefully. I don’t know what else to say about the writing. Well, Mrs. Welter was did an excellent job with the writing

Blog 10/ David McGrowan

I don’t know much about David McGrowan, but reading from this article he seems like an intelligent man. David McGrown talks about lots of different things in his article. They all lead to what he is trying to say that the media does not want us to see certain things or know about them. In his essay he also talks about news not giving us the good news, which will be beneficial to us. Like the story about Eisenhower, how he was saying the media is going to be very influential to the people as the time pass on. David makes a claim about that as well and talks in more details. David McGrowan makes another good point about how the news takes up talking about a particular celebrates, instead of covering a real story. He says that most of those problems that celebrities have, majority of the American have the same problems as well, and they are minor problem. Makes is about the school shooting. He says that the kids act violence because of listening to rook/rap music or playing video games with violent in the games. These things makes the kids feel like they have to be tough or that it is all right to be a little violence. Another time David McGrown mentions that the media is not suppose to be fun or entertainment, it’s suppose to teach us a little pre-knowledge about the politician from the both sides. All points David McGrown’s made in his article was backed us with real information, which made the article stronger.
