sources

on of the sources im picking to had into my paper is an informational report article. this article is under the university of Maryland medical center. the main purpose pf this a whole article is talking about stress. it had many statistics and wasn't a biased report. everything was labeled where it was supposed to be and gave good information has if it was a paper/article i would be writing for criminal justice

another one i had picked was from NY times and was an academic writing piece. it relates back to helping me realize what ill be doing later into my career.

the final essay i will use is called the internet journal of criminology. its a paper set up as if i was writing one in criminal justice and shows a lot of detail of what i would be doing. it has questions and answers from team members outside that have been asked so that its not just coming from there own knowledge and has back up. it was an academic writing

interview

            i have emailed all 3 of the people i was planning to interview. one of them have got back to me and  i'm having an interview with them by email. my profession that I'm planning on going into is criminal justice. i asked a professor here from Louisville a few of the questions i came up with. she came back with kinda elaborate answers but not the best as if i got to talk to her in person. she said that they do a lot of research papers and statics papers. she said papers are not there main strength as if it were like an English major but that it still takes an important role in getting your masters or bachelors degree in this major. that they analysis everything that there writing about most of the time. she said her her classes that she has taught that they usually write 3 to 4 papers a semester. which is understandable for a class. i'm hoping to hear back from the other 2 professors i have emailed so i can get more elaborate details but as of right now i only have the one professor

My source for this up coming essay is an informational report from a professor. it a non fiction report and has many resources in it to rely back to. another genre its kinda basing its self off is realistic fiction, based of what has happeded in true life and how papers are actually written, It has to do with criminal justice profession.  This will help me with my paper because it has a view point form other students in it. and since im writing to high school students it will relate back alot. The topic that im reading on relates back to a lot of hat ive already been writing so it shouldn't be hard to go off what there saying and my personally experience

Old english paper



       I picked a essay i wrote called Summer Days. It was on a poem where she was telling her life and life experience’s through something else. This something else was a grasshopper. I directed my whole essay towards other people there were struggling with problems, younger teens especially because the essay talked about what death was. i had to bring up certain topics like metaphors and similes because i was reading and doing my essay off of a poem. i say in my essay "the grasshopper is metaphoring the way she lives". i also talk about how she’s reaching out to someone and looking for someone to talk to. i read it from her point of view and quotes of what she is saying specifically in the poem. i analyasis specific parts such as how its eyes wonder around looking at all of his surroundings. The grasshopper then washes his face and spreads his wings and fly’s away. The author Mary was trying to describe how much a human and grasshoppers and actions are the same.

Syllabus Questions



Kyra Pelstring
Eng 102
January 12 2015

        Reading through this syllabus I got the same general idea as to most classes I've taken here at Louisville. There are 2 most important things I look at on a syllabus. Those are the amount have days you can have absence or if you can have any. I don't want to go over those days and fail the class. The other main thing I look at is the assignments. I like to get a general view of what I'm going to be working with all semester long. In this course I didn't see any homework's that were too challenging, but did realize that a homework was due every class period. I will come to your office hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 11 to 1 if I have any questions through the semester.

            I didn't really have any specific questions over the syllabus. I think we will end up going over most in class. Except one. Do we get to re do any of the homework assignments if we get a bad grade on them, or is it just formal writing assignments?

               I look forward to being in this class on Tuesday and Thursday and meeting you and everyone else in the class!
