This week I had to write my rough draft on an activist. I chose Cesar Chavez and there was more to him than I thought. In my opinion, he contributed to the Hispanic community and helped pave the way for Mexican Americans. However,  I have seen situations in farms that is similar to what was going on in his time. It could be said that slavery is still alive in the United States.


Chapter 9

Anecdotes really add flavor and suspense to a story.pg 419 I did not use many of these in my paper but I wish I would have and I probably will include some in my final draft.

 I Learned how to set up cause-effect sentences. I have been using similar writing styles in the past. page 425

I learned that Mcdonald's used to allow you to "Supersize" your meal with only a 0.79 cent upcharge!!!

OMGGGG!!!! I am finally done with my rough draft. I had difficulty finding the time to find a landmark stone and when I did there was not much to write about. Having said all that, I am done!
I would not have been able to get through this draft without the little Brown Handbook. It has been a long time since I cited anything. As far as the St. Martin chapters, I was a bit confused on if I did a good job of determining my purpose of writing and directing it to my audience efficiently.

Tattoos:

As a teenager I always thought of possible tattoos to put on my body. In my mind, I was planning to have a full body of tattoos. I am now 22 and do not have a single tattoo on my body. I realized that I do not want a tattoo just because I was 18 and could get one. I do not plan to get a tattoo unless it is a good enough one and  has a great enough meaning to it.
