"Be-Verbless"
I enjoy playing with most animals. They can do the funniest and cutest things. The animals can do whatever they want. I enjoy going to the zoo to see the wild animals in their own habitat. Some animals can have mean instincts, so you have to take caution if you approach them.

Blog #4: My Facebook Page
If a stranger came across my Facebook page, they would learn that I am a bi-racial, female, and that I like to have fun with my friends. They would also learn that I don’t like to take a lot of pictures.
They would learn that my personality is more laid back. They would also learn that I do like to do my own things and hang out with friends. People would also learn that I like to spend time with my family, and that my family is very important to me. Also, some of my family members are my friend on Facebook.
The person I represent myself to be is mature and caring. I can also be professional if I need to be, and I try to be helpful. But, I like to be silly with my friends too.

Blog #3: My Response
The essay “Small Change” was very interesting. When I read the title I wasn’t sure what to expect from the essay. I began reading and it began by telling the story of a past event of segregation. The essay explained how they organized sit-ins without the technological advantages we have today. They were organized by people spreading the world by mouth and photographs.
It explained how technology now is helping people who have strong opinions against something come together and possibly do something about it. People like to come together who have the same ideas. Facebook and Twitter help people come together because they have different people becoming friends who have never met. As the author said “Twitter is a way of following (or being followed by) people you may never have met. They can follow you by seeing what you post, therefore agreeing with your ideas, becoming followers.
I agree with this essay. I agree with the facts that people are easier connected with other people. I agree with the fact that technology is making a revolution. I also agree with the fact that talking over the internet can bring people together, and they could change the future, or even the current issues people face daily.

Blog #2: My Interpretation from essays (1102)
“What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” is about a woman who is trying to convince people that the internet for teenagers is not a bad thing. The internet can help them learn more and become more knowledgeable. She also said that the internet had been introduced into previous generations, it didn’t just become a recent problem. She supports the internet in an active part in a teenagers life. “Can You Hear Me Now?” is about a woman’s opinion on how everyone’s life is being taken over by technology. She says that the technology takes away attention to whoever is talking to that person.
The most important quote in “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” Is “Once we stop regarding the Internet as a villain, stop presenting it as the enemy of history and literature and worldly knowledge, then our teenagers have the potential to become then next great voices of America. The most important quote in “Can You Hear Me Now?” is “There is much talk of new efficiencies; we can work from anywhere and all the time.” I think this is important because this statement is true. Some people need to work all the time, or feel the need to work all the time.
The essay I agree with most is “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” It explains how the internet it good and how it can help teenagers. It gives people a better perspective to people who don’t use the internet as much as other people. Teenagers use it more for classes and school work. School now, most of the time you need internet access to finish homework.

Blog #1 : Mistakes, We All Make Them (English 1102)
The mistakes that first- year writers make are endless. The top ten that I think are the most important are, freshman think that the professors will go easy on you because it’s your first year. That is incorrect, they don’t care that it is your first year at college, they think you should work harder than you did in high school. Another mistake is run-on sentences, you just keep going on a thought with no commas or periods. Pronoun/Singular agreement is a mistake using words like everyone, anyone and someone. Misspelling words is another mistake, such as spelling words how they sound. Missing comma after introduction sentences. Citing documents incorrectly is another mistake because some high schools didn’t teach students how to cite documents correctly. Punctuation errors as in using commas in incorrect places. Incorrect words are another mistake such as using their instead of there. Conflict with verb agreements as in current or past tense. Also, incomplete sentences are a problem sometimes students don’t complete a thought but end the sentence.
The mistake I am guilty of is punctuation errors. When I was in high school, my teacher never taught me how to use semicolons. I still get confused now of when to use them. I also never learned when to use colons inside essays or papers. I am still working on that today.
