Blog Assignment #6

I chose to write about the government covering up UFO/Extra-Terrestrials for my essay. Some sources I am planning to use are books, articles, film documentaries(I have watched some before on Discovery and History channels), and maybe even some newspapers if I can find any. I'm going to search for books at the library and I'll definitely have to ask the librarian for help considering I do not know my way around a library.LoL. I am really looking forward to researching for this essay and I know there is a lot of information out there on the topic. I just have to find it.

Blog Assignment #5

Well after reading all the material about persuasive writing that was assigned, I know that persuasive writing analyzes all the sides of an issue while arguing a viewpoint. It may serve to
clarify your own beliefs as you persuade others to accept a particular perspective. Persuasive writing addresses topics that are controversial. I do believe that, for me at least, persuasive writing is going to be hard.

Blog Assignment #4

Well after receiving suggestions on how to fix my essay I have revised it. I didn't change any of the wording because I felt that it didn't need anything added or removed from it. I did change the font size that had changed toward the end and I also worked on correcting my works cited page. For my works cited page I read all available material on the topic and hopefully I have gotten it right this time around. I have to admit that the hardest part about this essay for me has been the works cited page and having to do the MLA format. I'm going to study more about the proper techniques for these because I want to be sure that I'm doing it correctly. Again, thanks to everyone for the suggestions on improving my essay. Good luck to everyone on your revisions :)

Blog Assignment #3

First of all I want to thank everyone that read my essay and responded to it. I was really happy that you enjoyed it and that I kept it interesting. I always try to do the best I can no matter what I'm doing and I worked really hard on the essay. It's nice to know that it was appreciated. I also want to thank you for the suggestions on improving the essay. I'm definitely taking all suggestions and using them to fix my essay. I hadn't even noticed that the font size had changed toward the end, so thanks for pointing that out. I knew all along that my works cited page needed improvement because I didn't fully understand the proper way to do it. I'm definitely going to read more about that and fix it the best I can. Good luck to everyone on the revisions on their essays and wish me luck on mine. :)
