Heros

Last week we focused on heroes and had to write a paper on it. But what makes a hero? I mean everyones opinion may differ like one person's opinion might be they have to have a special talent or something. Another person might argue this by saying it's just a normal person that provides for their families just to get by. What I'm asking is what do you think makes a hero and who applies to this description?

High School English vs. College English

High and school and college english, from what I can tell so far have so many differences. If you think back, in a high school english class most of the time was spent on grammar up until senior year. In college it is expected that you are strong with your wording, punctuation, and placement of verbs and adverbs. It is not emphasized at all. I have noticed already that freshman english is going to be mostly reading and writing papers. This was just a thought i felt like putting on the table. Do you agree or disagree?

Racism

Today in class we talked about race and ethnicity. We also talked about how everyone is stereotyped by someone at some point and time. I know that I have stereotyped many people before in my life. There are also people that probably stereotype people on this campus. But, the question I have is about Racism in our everyday life. Does everyone in our society have some racism in them somewhere?

College Relationships

The three college relationships that we talked in class, i think apply to everyone. Some students may apply to one or more than one at the same time. Lately i have been observing relationships among campus and i see that there are a lot of boys and girls "going out". There are also a lot of just friends relationships, where the boy and the girl are in the "just talking" phase of a relationship. What have you observed about the different types of relationships on campus?

The life without parents

The life without parents in college! The thing about college to me is that I don't have any parents to wake me up in the morning, make me do my homework, make me go to bed early to get rest for school, or even cook and clean for me. Also, they cant even make me come in early if I decide to stay out late. I like life without parents in college but I still miss them. How do you feel about life without parents while in college.

Writing about Space

Think about your experience in trying to navigate public space--- either familiar or unfamiliar to you. In what ways does your environment control your actions? Is this a necessity?
