I remember being cold at night a cup of Kool-Aid just quench my thirsty self with adjusting thermostat. Until it fell of the wall now I’m standing in a cold hallway looking for the light switch but somehow the power was off. So I kicked and screaming looking for some foundation like a flashlight or a candle. As I move to the bathroom I reached under the sink to the flashlight hopefully it has batteries in it, my suspicions were correct while I go to the living room to see out the window. Accordingly, all I saw was darkness and lights flashing through my blinds and then I grabbed my flashlight went to bed without lights, electricity or air conditioning. I tossed and turned in my sleep hoping to find peace in this situation, it only worked for a second during the night all I needed was my mom’s blessing as she tries to calm down me for moving too much.

My conclusion will include the Netflix show The Umbrella Academy, which is about a group of dysfunctional superheroes siblings who come back home for the passing of their mean-spirited father. Now their father is actually a alien from another planet that came to Earth, collect 7 kids who came to life at the same time. And what I mean by that is that their mothers had a surprise birth with no conception or through sex, it just happened and 43 women had kids. But let’s talk about the other character alright the first child’s name is Luther and he is super strong plus super gullible at the same time. The second child is my favorite character and his name is Diego, he is good at throwing knifes, hand to hand combat and he is very headstrong slash determined to stop bad guys through any means necessary. Although he is also stubborn and serious about everything which causes him to seem stuck up and crazy. Now I’m going keep the rest of the details about my conclusion to myself just wait for the essay.

Body Paragraphs
Explaining what you introduces in the previous paragraph, ORDER
Has more “stuff,” more explanations than other parts. One major point, usually in the beginning or even end. Offer evidence of your major point
Major point or topic sentence, Evidence to support it, Link to the paragraph
How is a paragraph different ENGL 1020 than in ENGL 1010?
You learn how to make your papers flow together better and how to word things differently
Research Conversation Happens
Link to the next paragraph
Visit a website, and read an article by an undergraduate. Skim it. Look for 5 examples (in body paragraphs) where the author “enters conversation” with another perspective or source.
Yambor, Alexandra. “Writing Center Tutors and Students with Learning Disabilities Perceptions, Feelings, and Tutoring Strategies” Queen City Writers, vol. 5, no. 2, Spring 2017, https://qc-writers.com/2016/04/15/997/
” Tracey Baker makes the claim that tutors should be trained in similar ways as special education teachers. She asserts that tutors and writing center professionals should use special education strategies to become effective tutors (5). When Baker analyzed the recommendations that the special education community gave, she found that the tutors were already using those strategies. This could have been attributed to the fact that they had a tutor on staff that had a learning disability and whose job it was to help tutors and student navigate the sometimes murky waters of tutoring students with disabilities (5).”

For my intro I will talk about how dangerous hurricanes can be and what you can do in this situation like find a way to get out safe with minimum scratches. Then I will start to bring up my past experience of dealing with incoming hurricanes to my hometown Mobile, Alabama. And how my mother Cara, our cousin Shan, her baby son Austin and me survive it twice while staying our house at that time it was 2005. Thirdly, I got a couple of ideas of including a storm shelter as a place to go during a tropical storm while I talk about that time my mother drove to my auntie Nannie Judy house during Hurricane Katrina. For the body paragraph it’s a mixture of ideas from the intro turned inside outside to model my ideas cohesively for the readers to follow along. Accordingly, I will spend tonight writing ideas for middle of my essay as I do that, the conclusion will appear in my studying/ writing session for English 1020 Composition: Apocalypse class.
Next is my body which includes research about how hurricanes form, where they go after the storm, what to do to survive a hurricane and where can you find nearby storm shelters. The body will start off like research, a sentence or 2 detailing the information I found. Then my terms like hurricane predicting, storm spiral, casanova destroyer and pip speak don’t walk in the street. After that, is the conclusion which is what I’m still writing about because it’s not complete but it will be in my rough draft. Along with my solution for the readers to think about after my call for action to not look for a way to stop a hurricane but to be prepared in case it happens. Also I can make a shelter out of abandoned buildings in Montgomery if there are not to go or if they are crowded.

What are reasons that we actually use our sources? To backup your argument, to add authority to what you’re saying, to prove you’re not stealing or plagiarizing, to argue against the source, disagree with them, to show that you carried out the goal, and that you used the iceberg technique, to defend your points and define key terms in your intro.
How might sources be used in poor or annoying ways? The armadillo/ roadkill- you drop the source in there, it doesn’t make much sense or relate to the topic.
Citations that don’t make sense [always want to use the author’s last name in a citation and the page if you have it: (Bell 140). Bad example: (“Definition “).]
Uncle Barry rambles too much- throwing in too many sources, too much too fast
Reminder: The solution comes from you. This means using “I” in your paper. Not quoting or summarizing correctly
Three things we do: summarizing, paraphrasing and directly quoting.
Summarizing: general or the major point of what you read
Paraphrasing: putting part of a source in your own words, still means you have to cite it!
Quoting: exact words from the author are needed “worst places” (citation needed) include Chernobyl
Flow- connecting old info to new info in a smooth way. First, I went to my morning class. Then I had a snack, after that I went to my music class. Then I finally I ate lunch and got out of school early.
How is the flow working in social media? There’s little flow in our everyday lives either in social media or on the news…

Make a rough draft due on Monday the 4th of March.
10 sources total, 5 of which are from journals and scholarly sources, 5 from reputable places using CRAAP, pop culture examples (qualify them-explain that they are fictional, but that they can still understand certain things)
Pose an hypothesis first at the top of your outline
In high school analogy of A burger:
Top of the bun- intro, Meat- body, Bottom of the bun- Conclusion
We have to make a deluxe burger
The intro has to be longer than 5- 7 sentences, it actually takes up the first page.
I. Intro Paragraph 2: This is how you make your word count. Define all your terms. Slow down, and explain what your most important key terms mean. Ex: EMP- explain what letters stand for, explain what it is in your terms.
II. Intro Paragraph 3: Then and only you start on your thesis an and avoid data dumps. Thesis paragraph is where you explain your solution and how you’ll structure it.
Bridge: Intro and Body
Describe a possible scenario that will cause a disaster. In a proposal, stick to that genre. Use logos. Use qualifiers explain that it’s hypothetical. Be concise (no more than 1-2 paragraph). Avoid changing genres and making it creative.
IV. Describe the way the world normally functions.
A. Source of water in Montgomery.
B. Rivers and their influences
C. Pollution
V. Describe the way we must solve a problem if a disaster occurs.
A. Money costs
B. Staff
C. Bulidings
VI. Describe opposing views/ different ways to solve the problem.
VII. Conclusion Part 1: Explain again why your choice is the best
VIII. Call to action: Explain what work still needs to be done, explain the limits of your proposal. The solution should be based in the real-world mechanisms.
Parallel structure: Means that all grammatical and stylistic choices

- Caleb Jones explains that people who do not go into nature are “cowardly.” Although the word cowardly is too strong here. I do think we all could see use more nature.
- In the work cited sources entries or the text itself, small stuff-“quotations”, large italics
- The first thing you need to know about a source is the first and last names of the authors. The first time you intro an author, you’re going to use their full name. After that, use their last name.

Blog 7. “What is two apples plus five oranges? Traditional mathematics education has taught us that apples and oranges are two different categories that cannot be added together. However, MacNeal contends that in many real-world situations, the correct answer is “seven fruit.”
The main objective of this article was make people understand the pressing issue of using data, mathematic problems, equations and ratios in everyday conversations to educate the citizens of today. Joanne Wolfe brought up a quote that resigned with about apples and oranges. She described how we separate fruits in categories of apples, oranges, bananas, pears, grapes and strawberries, saying that we don’t integrated two apples with five oranges because of our education. As author and business statistician Edward MacNeal talks about the issues of naming and definition as to why is it central to mathematical discussions in his book Mathsemantics.

Blog 2: The belief in zombies, “it was only one part of a deep-rooted sociocultural belief in the power of witchcraft. In Haitian culture, voodoo priests do much more than create zombies; they are said to bring both blessings and curses through magic.
Where do zombies come from? Why are they associated with the apocalypse? It all started in Haiti with the Vodun people but the idea of zombies and their conception was passed down from slavery because the enslaved Africans were religious people. Some them believed in the voodoo deity Baron Samedi who taught the Africans to believe in him and they will be saved from captivity and brought to a heaven on Earth. But if you angered him you will remain a slave even in the death. The fear of becoming a slave in the afterlife helped the slave masters keep their slaves from committing suicide. However, a traveler and writer named William Seabrook wrote “The Magic Island” in 1929, which talks about his exploits while in Haiti and it brought the word zombi to the English language. Also there is another person who went to Haiti her name was Zora Heale Hurston who was a influential novelist folklorist, author and anthropologist in order for her to go to Haiti for research she had to act she was interested in becoming a Voodoo priest. This is when she came across a real life zombie named Felicia Felix-Mentor. She said, “I had the rare opportunity to see and touch an authentic case. I listen to the broken noises in its throat, and then, I did what no one else has ever done, I photographed it.” I found all these sources by searching for the questions in Bing.
