An Exercise

when my father returned from Milan,he found playing with me
in the hall of our villa a child fairer, than pictured cherub
a creature who seemed to shed radiance from her looks,and whose form
and motions were lighter than the chamois of the hills the apparition
was soon explained with his permission. my mother prevailed
on her rustic guardians to yield their charge to her they were fond
of the sweet orphan.Her presence had seemed a blessing to them
but it would be unfair to her to keep her in poverty and want
when providence afforded her such powerful protection.
they consulted their village priest and the result was
that Elizabeth Lavenza became the inmate of my parents' house
my more than sisterthe beautiful and adored companion
of all my occupations and my pleasures.

Research Paper

I did my research paper on the history of Ellis Island,what did the immigrants go through, and what happens now in America at the Ellis Island Museum and immigration on both sides of the coast...YOu know what I realized earlier was that I didn't quite really do an intro paragraph! I am totally busted (grade wise)! I was so worried about other things in my paper liker the grammar, and how many pages that I needed..that I think my mind went totally crazy on the intro paragraph. I just started typing...Now I'm really nervous about getting my paper back. I really want to pass the class. Good Luck to all of you guys on the final on Saturday!!! It was nice working with you!

The Debate is no more

I can see that we are all glad that the debate is behind us now. I am honestly surprised that I got as high a grade that I did. I had all the basic issues out lined in my introduction which is probably why I did as well as I did. Unfortunately my presentation was poor. I am curios why the Professor had us do a debate. I do not feel that I got that much out of it as far as learning goes. I do however feel that the research paper taught me allot, both about the subject that I wrote about as well as the process of writing.

FINALLY OVER

WE HAD OUR DEBATE AND I FEEL WE DID WELL, I SURPRISED MY SELF WITH THE RESEARCH THAT WAS EXPECTED OF ME REGAURDING THE MEDICAL SIDE OF THE DEBATE. I READ IN TO BOOKS AND WEB SITES TO GET MY KNOWLEDGE, BUT I FOUND SPEAKING TO NURSES AND DOCTORS DIRECTLY GAVE ME THE MOST BENEFIT. I ALSO HAD THE BENEFIT TO LOOK AT HOSPITAL CENCES ON DAILY BASIS AND SEE THE REASONS PEOPLE ARE CHECKING INTO THE PSYCH WARD I HAD THEIR CHARTS TO MY BENEFIT TO DO RESEARCH ON THE BACKGROUND FOR THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL....I AM SURE GLAD I HAD THAT TO MY BENEFIT. IN ALL I STILL FEEL THAT ABORTION IS UP TO THE ONE INDIVIDUAL AND HER GOD TO LOOK FOR GUIDANCE AND FORGIVENESS, NO ONE HAD HE RIGHT TO IMPOSE THEIR FEELINGS OR BELIEFE ON SOME ONE WHO IS CAPABLE OF MAKING THEIR OWN CHOICE, FOR THOSE WHO NEED DECISIONS MAD FOR THEM THERE ARE PYCH DOCTORS AND COURT APPOINTED DIRECTORS WHO CAN MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

Class

I want to tell all of you that I have enjoyed beginning and ending this class with you. The debates were very interesting and everyone did a great job.

Debates

I am so glad that the debate it over! I was ready with my facts, but not ready mentally to go up in front of the class. Iam not an agressive person...soon I will be learning how to in a speech class...I am learning from this, I am glad I didn't chiken out on this debate, and did the best I could!
