No Class

APRIL 12, 2007

Since there was only 7 people that showed up for class we were given the option to either finish the movie Borat go home. Of course we chose to go home, which made me very happy because I was not a fan of the movie at all!

Not True!

We were talking in class how often in research papers and autobiography the writer embellishes the truth. Sometimes it is very hard for the reader to even know that what the writer is saying is no true. I didn't know until we talked about it in class that the book A Child Called It was an example of this. I read that book when i was in elementary school and this whole time I thought it was true.

SNACK WRAP

According to Mr. Barry he invented the snack wrap at McDonald's. The chicken strips sales were decreasing and when he would get bored he would make his own concoctions and see if other people liked them. When he started giving out free samples to the customers, the manager ended up sending his recipe to corporate. Then the snack wrap was placed on the menu.

Questions

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS IN A RESEARCH PAPER!
Why do people ask question in research papers? The reason the reader is reading the paper is because they want to find out more about the topic or they don't know anything from the beginning. Why ask questions, the reader doesn't know or they would be the one writing the paper. I'll admit I have asked questions in research papers. Normally because I was using them as an easy way to make the paper longer.

Contemporary Fiction

At the beginning of the year we talked about contemporary fiction and how different it is now then what it used to be years ago. In my opinion I find a lot of it disturbing and too graphic for what I want to read, but I guess that is why everyone pick what they want to read.

Blaming Other People

"It wasn't my fault"

The majority Americans always blame things that go wrong on other people, things, or situations. We hardly ever take the blame for something we did. Mr. Barry said that his theory on this is because Americans are a majority of Christians. When something good happens we praise God and thank Him. When something bad happens we blame the devil. I don't really know how much of that I agree with. I do believe that people do thank/praise God when good things happen in their life but when bad things happen we should praise God to because through trials come perseverance and through perseverance comes hope. I don't think just because something bad has happen in my life that its the devils fault its because of my own action and because we are human with sin in our lives.
