Restaurant Review

While reading over the restaurant review, i found many interesting things. First off, he started off the article with a very vivd image, somehwat seeting the image in your head of what he was talking about. The next interesting thing was he asked a question about how good Argentenian food was, which i found peculiar in itself. Then he goes into telling how the beef is made and the proper titles for that dish. Throughout this whole article, he puts in sentences of history and his own experiences. I also found this article to be very informal yet at the same time it was proper. His descriptive detail of every dish helped you visualiaze what was offered at the restaurant, with his occasional insight every now and then. I alss thought that the first weeks reviews was very original to the article. Overall, the article was very easy and interesting to read due to its informal yet attractive style.

Paper Agenda

I have a huge problem writing papers. My ideas are very choppy and do not flow well together. So for this paper, i will be working on m action verbs and getting my ideas to flow. also i will be trying to get very strong transition sentences and i have to strengthen my thesis statement. Also with papers, i have a problem writing a thesis so i will be working hard on that to try and get a very well put together thesis.

Mix Tape

These are the songs that i picked for my mix tape:

1. Gangsta's Paradise - because it is the total opposite of what my neighborhood is
2. Thugz Mansion - there is a mansion in my neighborhood that a person who won the lotto bought
3. Welcome to the Jungle - i have alot of trees in my neighborhood
4. Changes - alot of people move in and out of my neighborhood
5. Why Can't We Be Friends - because everyone moves in and out, we don't know alot of people
6. That's Life - everyone in my neighborhood is very relaxed and chill

Profile

I was looking on the comp 106 blog and i found the story of Bill Goodman very interesting. I am also trying to become a lawyer and his story i could relate to and found very interesting. The story provided good details of what he has done and is currently doing.

Class Discussion

The one line from my own writing that "sang" out to me was, "why do we stall." I was questioning the quote that i had written down. I liked the free writing session that we had that day because it just got me to think about certain things and made me forget all the things that i had going on that day. Also, the subject we were writing about really made you slow down and think about it and see how it related to you. It was also appropriate for the time being winter and all which also influenced how good the session was.

Paper

For my paper, i will be interviewing one of my old high school teachers who is the student activities director at Churchill High School. While at school, i saw that he knew everyone and had connections to many different things. I have not yet conducted the interview yet because i went away on a work trip this weekend. I was valeting at a pro tennis tournament up in Midland, Michigan.

Interviews

I got some very good interviews for my paper the other day. I talked to the owner of Oasis Golf Center, the driving range dome that i am writing about and he told me all about how the structure of the dome it setup. Also, he told me how the dome stays inflated and not floats away. I learned how the mechanics of the entire dome work and how ingenious of a system it is. He also told about some times when the dome almost exploded or colapsed which was really interesting.
