What was their name?


Well this is the last blog post, it’s been such a fast semester. I’m glad for classes to be over however I enjoyed this class. It defiantly has been a lot of writing however its been writing that deals more with us being creative and really finding out how much our writing has improved over the semester.  Blog posts I have to say have been my least favorite highly due to the fact that I always forgot to post on the blog. Future advice for the class is to make the class come together more as a group. I cant say I even remember the girls names on the other side of the room. Overall it was a great English 1050 class.

Red Wings + Exams = xD


Well its the final week of normal classes and all my professors feel the need to have five exams this week. Not including along with the final folder due in this class. It’s kind of a lot to have on my plate during this last week. I have three exams tomorrow and the red Wings hockey game is on tonight. Which will be my major distraction seems how its the fourth game and they are 1-2 which they need to win this game. I'm sure I will study before, during and after the game though. I can’t wait for this semester to be over with! Bring on summer!

Going home?


Well its almost the end of summer, and classes are starting to pile on the homework. Its two weeks left until we leave for summer. I'm in a hurry to be able to finish on a good foot, however I can't say that I’m excited to go home all summer. Four months of listening to my mother again will be a rough change. We come to college and become so independent, then we go back and she thinks that I cant still make decisions on my own.  I wish summer was only a month and then classes started again, however I’m just going to take classes at home and get a different job! I'm excited to go home, just not excited for the amount of time im going to be there.

Cinderella.

My original text is Cinderella Fairy tale by The Grimm Brothers.
My familiar gene is a Facebook website that is an update representative of Cinderella.

Cinderella's Facebook
My unfamiliar gene is going to be a personal ad in which the step mother is looking for men for her daughters.
Personal AD

Picking these two genes really have me excited to do this English Project. The purpose of the Facebook page is to show a more updated version of what Cinderella would be like if she had a Facebook. I'm going to use it as a time line throughout her story. The audience of this would be 13+ due to the fact that's the age at which most kids have Facebook.  The media design of this is going to be a website.
The purpose of the Personal Ad is the fact during the whole story the Evil step mom is looking for a man to date her daughters. The personal ad is towards an older audience, the media and design of this is going to be print, and a lot of working with formatting.

With Facebook i haven't decided if I'm going to just make a page for Cinderella or if im going to make a page for both the Prince and Cinderella. With the personal ad its going to be each one for each of the girls. In desperate cries for the step mom in finding them a man.

Corrections.

                   A suggestion that was given to me about my paper was not to use I believe or I think in my paper. I have now taken out all the I’s and made sure that I still voice my opinion without having to say I believe or I think which was weakling my paper. I also have to make sure that my ethos pathos and logos weren’t all clumped together. There was also a suggestion to work on my sentence phrasing so tonight I have reread it out loud in hopes to find awkward phrases. I also have a writing center appointment to help with the odds and ends of my paper.
