Final Blog

1) the effects of using blogger is that it helped me write my essays better from other peoples opinions on what i did bad on and it helped me fix them. The knowledge from other peoples comments definitely helped me a lot in making my essay writing better. It helped me make my essay writing longer and more explanatory.

2) as a writer my strengths are that i am very well organized and i have good spelling and grammar. my weakness is that my writing is not that explanatory and doesn't have many supporting details with enough finishing touches, This semester my writing has changed alot so now i know how to write papers. I still need to make my papers longer with more details.

1) On the day of the test i should read the passage carefully, twice and on the second time i will underline any details and most importantly a specific idea that i would need for my essay. The 1st paragraph must be an introduction with a good theses. I could write a summary as well but i cant leave any information out of it because it has to be based on the reading passage.

2) The things i should look out for based on my previous test should be spelling correctly, since i usually wake up early tired and out of it i need to be careful not to mess it up. I need to make sure the essay so far makes sense so the reader wont think i wrote it without even thinking. My usual problem with development is repetition so i need to stop explaining the same details and such over and over again. Although, i usually am a little anxious before a test.

3) First of all so i could make sure that i wont feel exhausted the next day i will get a good night sleep in which i will go to sleep early and have a healthy morning breakfast. Second, I need to practice free writing an essay so i can make sure that i write my test essay well and ill be in the right state of mind. Third, i should write it in a way such that it wont have any repetition and it will be well written. Finally, i need to have more self confidence in myself so i could do well on the essay, so i will practice and show up on time.

On the police side i believe that they think it was right to give Angie to Doyle because Eileen, her mother wasn't responsible for taking care of her really and she never treated her right. Even though Remy and Lionel put her in danger and lied about her, it was for the best. They believed that they should have brought her to the police captain because he actually took care of her and accepted responsibility for her.

On Patrick's side he believes in justice and what is right for the people and the law. He wanted to find Angie and give her back to her mom safe and sound. He did whatever he had to do to get Angie back and the police captain arrested for stealing Eileen's child.

The side I believe the movie takes is Patrick's side because he was doing everything he could in the investigation to get Angie back to her mom safe. Throughout the movie we were following and watching him since he's the main character and that he was finding suspects leading to where they found her and what they went through.

CATW Practice 2

In the article,"The woman who died in the waiting room", by Jensen Interlandi, it talks about a woman named Esmin Green that fell out of her chair in a Brooklyn Psychiatric hospital before anyone found out that there was something wrong with her. This is upsetting since staff members and security guards passed through the room without even helping or caring for her, irresponsibly How irresponsible this is for hospital workers can be shown during this essay.

As much as workers in hospitals help and care for their many patients, Esmin's death could.ve been stopped if there was a caretaker with her. Even her own relative. Public hospitals have helped millions of uninsured mentally ill patients and still are busy with others but this is no excuse for not helping her. Staff members and doctors are held responsible for this. For example, when my Grandmas sick in Ecuador and no ones there to help her, my mom or aunts would take off from work and go there to help her since they're her daughters . Since she has no one else to be with. They're held responsible for helping each other out no matter what the cost.

Another reason why staff members and doctors are still held responsible for Esmin's death is because it's unfair for her to not have been seen by any doctor for anything since she was waiting to be seen. For example, every time my dad waits to be seen when he is at the doctor, the staff always makes sure the patients are seen. Since its their job. Everyone should be held for everything no matter what.

During my essay, i have shown that Esmin Green in the article, "The woman who died in the waiting room", by Jensen Interlandi, was uncared for unfairly and irresponsibly in the Brooklyn Psychiatric hospital while she off her chair and died in the waiting room.

Revision of CATW 1

In the article, "An Education in citizenship" by the 'Chicago Tribune', it explains how the state of Illinois has just passed a bill that's going to allow young people in the country illegally to pay in-state tuition rates at Illinois colleges and universities. The house had said that it "was an easy vote for most of the lawmakers". I agree with the house of Illinois by the following.

The state made the right decision in passing the bill because it helps the entering freshman that are illegal to get a great education for a future career. It's right that they pay a cheaper tuition pay based on their tax return. This reminds me of when my mom told me how she came to NY to get a better education. She didn't have to pay as much because she came from Ecuador and came to LaGuardia community college based on her taxes and that she was an immigrant. She knew other people that were in this situation besides her sisters.


Another reason i believe the state made the right decision is because it gives immigrants a better education even though its almost like controlling citizenship and its rights and responsibilities. For example i have seen many Mexican people in flushing that are standing around waiting for jobs. They have passed college and received a good education but their still sitting around looking for jobs. Their here illegally but they were able to get a good education but still looking for a career.


Based on the article, "An education in citizenship" by the 'Chicago Tribune',  I have explained that the house of Illinois had made the right decision in passing the bill that allows entering freshman in the college who are in the U.S. illegally to pay in-state tuition rates at Illinois colleges and universities, with my examples and evidence.

Another reason why i believe the state made the right decision is because it gives immigrants a better education even though its almost like controlling citizenship and its rights and responsibilities. My dad came from Ecuador like my mom as well and he went to college too but not Laguardia like me and my mom. It was cheap for him and after he finished he became a UPS driver, which he still is. It's a fair paid job, but it's tiring for him.

Response to "Hype"

In "Hype" by Kalle Lasn, she has explained that us people can't live a day without seeing any kind of advertisement of some sort. All around the world there are ads, commercials and such passing us by going through our minds back and forth. One reason for this infinite creation is that we can't live without them because the millions of companies spend thousands of dollars to make them to support their new product so they can soon start selling them. Another reason would be that even on the clothes and shoes we wear their ads on them as well. This will forever go on through our lives in the following explanation.
            One reason why i agree with Kalle Lasn is that "the increase in commercial advertising has happened so steadily and relentlessly that we haven't quite woken up to the absurdity of it all", is because millions of people in the world including me are always busy with their jobs and education and family events and such.  This i can relate to because as much as id like to be around my friends and especially my girlfriend we are always busy doing schoolwork that we haven't really noticed how bad propaganda is blinding us thanks to the media and corporations.
          Another reason why i agree with Kalle Lasn is that "anywhere your eyes can possibly come to rest is now a place, in corporate America's view, can and ought to be filled with a logo or product message." This is because everywhere that even on the clothes and shoes we wear, their ads on them as well. This will forever go on because we can't simply just turn this fact down. I can relate to this because whenever i am on the bus going to school i pass billboards and posters of new movies that were just released and they do look really interesting since i have seen the commercials for them.
          In conclusion, "hype", by Kalle Lasn does prove to be an interesting article such that it explains how the world for many of years that passes us by shows us the millions of ads and commercial advertisements for the newest products by the richest corporations we know. Sadly we can't do anything about this because it will go on forever and they control us. We are the puppets that pay into this garbage they give us.
