English Writing #3

Personal Testimony:

I'm not sure really why I choose ROC as my advertisement.  I wanted to do something different from everyone else in the class.  I knew I wanted to do something involving the face and medicine.  I have always had trouble with acne and I am a victim of trying those countless products that don't work.  Not to mention all the money that was spent!  After searching for a while, I found ROC.  It's not acne medicine but it still can relate.  It is an anti-aging cream.  It is said to be able to lift and define.  

Counter Argument:

I am wondering just how affective this cream is, and what people think about it.  Does this really give customer satisfaction? What if people were allergic to it?  What are the long-term affects of this?  Can people use it to much?  This would be terrible if someone's face swelled due to the products in this cream.

Mystery meat and giggles!

When I first started reading this assignment, I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard. No guys, I'm not playing; I really sat back and thought "Mrs. Williams is really not going to make us read about spam." As I continued to read, I chuckled at myself because I couldn't believe how into this article I was. Judy Chu, who wrote the essay, explains what spam means to her. The memories and thoughts she can recall are endless. My favorite part in this article is where they relate the "spam mail" to "spam." It is true, when someone says spam I often think of e-mail rather than a mystery meat. It's amazing to think how quickly we are to judge, and yet many of us say we are not guilty of such a crime! I find it rather interesting that we are quick on our feet when it comes to explaining how gross something is that we never have tried. Humans are very judgemental. I honestly think, after reading this article, I might just go buy some spam.

It won't let me post my comment so.,

I wanted to post on Michael's blog that I am interested in his topic.  With the endless amount of research he has, I think this will be good for his project!  It seems like he has a lot to work with, yet he has narrowed it down enough!  Good Luck!

Advertise this

My advertisment is over ROC. This is an enhancer for the skin. It's supposed to renew itself revealing new, younger looking skin as it complements your skin! Sounds perfect right? The problem is it says "Ten Years Back." Does this mean you'll look ten years younger, or do you get ten years back? It also states this as a PROMISE. I'm pretty excited about this assignment.

-Wealth-

Wealth is much more than how much of what you own is worth. To me, it has nothing to do with money.  You are wealthy if you can wake up every morning with what you went to sleep with.  A personal experience of mine including wealth has to deal with my younger years.  When I was in second grade, my brother was in pre-school.  Each and every day my mother got us ready for school and with no vehicle she walked my brother to school, me to school, and then walked herself home. Never the less, she also got us from school. We lived in a very small apartment, but we were thankful for every waking moment.  By no means did we have it easy at all.  My parents both worked what seemed like all the time.  If I can remember a distinct moment of my life, this would be it.  Every night at dinner, which often included canned items, we'd go around the table talking about one thing that we were thankful for that day.  My brother always seemed to say the seat he was sitting in, so we didn't have to have dinner on the floor.  This moment was impacting for me. I have realized that it doesn't matter what you own, how much it cost, or even what it's worth.  What matters is what's always going to be there, and that's family. The wealth of your life includes your health, your friends, and most important your family.  

October 1st

I am not one to be interested in history, so when I first started reading this post I was thinking "oh great." As I started to read the assigned I couldn't believe how easy it was to keep reading! It really had me going, it had sparked and kept my interest. This book I believe is like the bible when it comes to our history. It's such an important factor. It's also scary to think that after WWII, there were more expected terrible events to come.

I've always looked at Adolf Hitler as such a horrible person, and to be honest it sends chills up and down my spine realizing what he's done in the past to people. I had a rough time posting his picture on my blog. I don't understand how you can that cruel. He always seems like he is trying to persuade!

A fact that interested me was they blamed everything on Man. After I got to thinking about this, I realized, it really is our fault. Things with the environment wouldn't be this horrible if Man weren't here, but who really wants to think of us this way?

I like the conclusion of this assignment. It leaves it open-ended, just enough to make you think, but also by giving you information to process.
