Chapters 4-8

The story is starting to build up and makes a bit more sense. I am glad you(Ms. Hanson) gave us an overview and a better understanding of who the characters were. That makes the reading easier to understand and I can then imagine it. I cannot imagine how miserable and devastated Anne must of felt when she heard the news that she would be waiting on the Queen once again. I, personally, feel that I would not be able to do it. It must have been a crazy feeling to have to present yourself to the soon-to-be ex-wife of the man you are planning to marry. It had to be the most awkward situation.

Reading this rather confusing book

At first, I was a bit confused on what this book was about. It starts out with the author explaining a bit of her life. She seems to be a huge fan of Anne Boleyn and her personality. The Anne character seems a bit spontaneous and not the norm for her century. I am still not convinced that the author went back in time, I also think it is just a dream she is having and will soon awake from it. The author has such a great way to describe the scenes and settings. I can imagine every room and person that she presents in the book.

As I got into chapter 2, I realized more and more that this is a bit scandalous. Anne seems to be a wild and careless woman. I am still not sure of her age. I hope to get more answers to this book as we read more. I will say it is not what I expected. At the end of chapter 3, I thought to myself, am I reading "Fifty Shades of Grey".

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. 

Business Letters and what they can do for YOU!
As I read more and more through this chapter, I realize LESS is MORE. In Chapter 11 it states to be straightforward and get right to what you are stating. In my current job, I practice this everyday. I send out emails and respond to emails throughout the day and have to state exactly what I am trying to get across.
Another point that stood out to me was to not say anything you would not say face to face. I feel as if this will prevent any extra problems you may encounter through business memos.

Lab Reports???? This is foreign to me and plan to learn more on this type of genre.
