Journal 11

          I am kind of worried about finishing the argumentative essay that is due Thursday after seeing how long the literature review took me. It should be a lot faster than the literature review though because I can just write about what I think instead of having to read through all of the documents and summarize different people's conversations. I have never written an argumentative essay this long, but hopefully I have enough ideas and opinions about the topic that I can get a good paper without too much fluff in it. I think that if i am able to say what I have in my head I will be able to do it, but sometimes it is hard to put what is in my head into words. I can probably write a lot about others peoples opinions and write what I think to support my opinion, so I don't think the paper will be to difficult, but it will be quite time consuming.

I think that it is okay for the homeless man to advocate homelessness while being homeless. Even though he is taking up a bed that someone else can have because he wont get a job where he can buy his own, he is still helping the other homeless people. As a homeless person he visits the different shelters where he can stay and different places where homeless people are. He can see that things that they need and require, and he can share it with others to help fix these problems. People may thing that he is just not using his chance to the fullest to get a job and advocate what he believes in while working a job with a real pay, but he is advocating his opinions and helping the homeless better as a homeless person himself. He is able to live as one of them and see that problems around him and the other homeless people around him and work to fix those problems. If he got a job, he would not because to solve these problems that no one would notice except the homeless people who are being affected.

Journal 9

          I learned a lot that I didn't really know about simplifying today that I didn't know before. I didn't really know anything about the active and passive types of sentences. I didn't really know that you weren't really supposed to use "you" in your essays either because none of my teachers before never told me not to use "you" in my essays. After looking at my annotated bibliography, I noticed that I use passive voice a lot in my writing and I should probably start making it a habit to not use it. Even when I was trying to simplify some of the sentences in class I used passive voice. Once we talked about passive and active voice, I had to go back and change all of my sentences so that they were simplified in active voice. It is going to be a lot tougher not using any passive voice in my essay, but I will try to use active even if it makes me have to write addition information.

Advocate Classwork

I would be an advocate for having less required materials for a classroom. In some classrooms, the schools buy great electronics and different things that will help with teaching, but they require students to also buy these expensive materials for class. Parents and even sometimes teachers have to buy all these different items that the student requires to pass the class, and some of the parents cannot afford it. I would encourage students, faculty, and parents to speak up about this problem and make the schooling system change so that those who cannot afford all of theses different materials can go to class with only the minimum amount of things required for learning. If many people are able to speak up together instead of just a few people change can really happen.

Tweeting Classwork

Dr.Seuss Tweets:
Children in the zoo are better then kids at home with their minds full of poo.

He's always on facebook and never goes outside and takes a look.

He is always on his T.V and will never even see a tree or a bee
