Blog Entry 7: Reflection and Evaluation
I have look back at my previous work and i think i have done a good job at organizing my paragraphs and being able to write a well introduction. However, i need to improve on how to organize my ideas into sequence, so that it can flow with my thesis. I also need to know how to avoid making run on sentences and come up with more examples to support my essays. There is only a little bit on challenges i am facing in this class is being able to come up with different was to outline my essays before writing it and also how to be better at proof reading my work before submitting it in. i believe that i need to be able to brain storm and think about what i really want as my claim and be able to have good evidence to support it. i was nervous because i understood what the main idea was, but i didnt think i came up with a good claim and support ideas, so that it was clear and understood. my question on the CATW practice test was that " is children who exercise get high grades on the test?" i answer it by introducing the article by it title and author and also stated the main idea and stated my claim about it. I also believe that i need to improve on my pace and take my time and just think before i start to write i think. brain storming helps me and i hope i learn to be able to improve on this skills that i have listed above to help me get a great score on my test score and help me to pass my essays in the course of the semester.
Blog Entry 6: Review Socrates' and Plato's Allegory (or "Parable")
The Allegory Of The Cave from book VII of The republic by Plato states that human beings that have been chained up in an underground cave all their life, can only adapt to a world of shadows and echoes of unfamiliar objects.These human beings are chained up and cant turn their heads. when a former prisoner is released, He discover a new world. The real world. He is excited and wants to share his new experience with his follow prisoners.But when he try to go back to the underground cave, his follow prisoner does not recognize him or his voice. He has become just another unfamiliar object of a shadow and echo to his follower prisoners. I believe that if u are chained up or have stayed in one place your whole life you can never really know what other lifestyle is out there if u don't explore.
Everybody in life have to adapt to a new place in their life at some point. However, being chained up most of your life and when are finally free you don't really know how to adapt to the new world and the people that is in it. you only can adapt to where you been most of your life. for example, I've been living in New York all my life, if i decided to up and leave New York and move to a different state i would have to adapt to that environment and be able to survive there because that is my new home. yes, i can easily pack up and move back to New York but, how would that show me that there is another different life style if i just stay in one place. exploring the world is a great idea because you see how different live there life and how they adapt to their own place.
Everything that is made on this earth is amazing. I plan to be successful and exploring what is on the earth by traveling around the world, discovering different types of life styles and even trying new things. i also plan on become a great nurse and helping people with their illness. i believe that if u stay in one place you will never really know what it is like in another state or country. for example, Im from Nigeria and i visit there every 2 years. recently i just went there this past summer and i enjoyed my whole time there. if i never go to my home country i would never know how life is out there or what is like to go there and just enjoy how they live life. many people live life different. Everybody have a different life style.
i use to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy because when i was little that all that people kept telling me and i kept cookies and milk next to the Christmas tree and whenever my tooth fell out i always put it underneath my pillow. it will be gone and i use to always believe they were real. As i started growing up i realize that it was my mother or my big bro or sis who was either eating the cookies or putting money underneath my pillow. By me now knowing the truth i started to look at things different. i started to wonder what it is like to go somewhere else and everything they tell you u believe but find out later on down the line that it is fictional.
To conclude this essay, I believe that if u are chained up or have stayed in one place your whole life you can never really know what other lifestyle is out there if u don't explore. however, if being chained up is stopping you from exploring the real world then let yourself free and be able to adapt to other different type of lifestyles. its better to know different types of reality and explore the different things in front of you.

Blog Entry 4:" Hype Workshop"
Advertisement is very popular in the United States. From TV commercials, radio commercials, and even displays ads.TV commercial have increased up to 200,000. This makes TV shows shorter than they use to be. I remember when i was at home with my brother and sister and we was watching a movie on TV and we were so upset because every five minutes the movie was going on a commercial break. We did not want to change the channel because we never knew when the movie will be back on. I agree with the author that advertisement is over populated on selling america's view on products.

Its always telling you about the latest trend, what new movies will be shown and also how to join programs such as School and college degree.

12 billion display ads are also another way advertisements are being display and is everywhere. Buses, train stations, stadiums and even on commerical trucks are different places and things here ads are being displayed and help advertisements to be world known and seen and helps increase a mental pollutants. this is also another way that america corporate is filled in logo and product message.
