Reflective Essay
In every English class, the professor is given a list of things that each student should learn in his or her time in that classroom for that semester. Some of the requirements may not be filled, but most individuals are reaching these requirements. I think that each student learns in separate ways. I know that this semester I have learned more about writing than I have an almost in any of my other classes. I think that personal achievements, not set standards are what improved me in my writing, and there are so many things I have learned.
In this blog portfolio, I had some strengths and some weaknesses doing these papers. I will start with my strengths. I think when I get writing, I usually can’t stop. When I get on a roll, I will type until I have my paper. I also think when I write about the things that I like, the passion is expressed between the lines, and that makes the paper just that much easier to read. With strengths, usually comes weakness as well, and I had my fair share of them. My biggest problem was citing sources. I feel like I could never get every detail just right when it came down to having them in MLA format. There is one other thing that I definitely consider one of my biggest weaknesses, and that is staying on topic. I sometimes tend to repeat myself, or just slightly head the wrong way from where I was going in the first place. My last weakness is the simple fact that I procrastinate to do papers, especially when I am loaded with tests and homework in other classes!
I’m proud of the fact that I have completed what I needed to. I made sure that I got all of my homework done, responses, and blogs done on time. I am happy that I had enough motivation at the end of the year to just sit down, and work on revising my paper and also working on making my writing skills better one step at a time. My greatest challenge in this class was the annotated bibliography. I had never heard of one before, let alone done one. It was all new to me, but I followed the directions, and I finished by doing the best that I could. To revise my papers, I used the advice I had got both from my peers and my professor. It worked well for me because I feel like doing it this way will help me catch the problems that need to be fixed in order to have a successful paper.

MLK paper
The author of " The Letter from a Birmingham Jail," was president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference whose headquarters was located in Atlanta, Georgia. This man was an outstanding clergyman and goes by the name of Martin Luther King Jr. The reason for writing this rhetorical masterpiece was trying to answer all of the opposition who was trying to tell him that this act in Birmingham was " untimely and unwise."
King uses this piece to show others from the past, present, and future people why he is acting the way he is. It shows throughout the article how he considers himself as a equal rather than a higher authority. King never separates himself from his associates which shows how he respects the dignity of his followers by showing that he is not greater than any one of them. He uses this piece of writing to try and take a slight step in changing the segregation, but not by sitting back and waiting. He states, " Let us not wait this is what we are going to do now!"
Throughout this who letter he uses his great knowledge to use lots of pathos, ethos, and logos in such a way that it makes the paper just so great. Some examples are like in paragraph thirty-three when he uses a form of pathos in the beginning by saying, "Let me take note of my other major disappointment. I have been so greatly disappointed with the white church and its leadership." This is comparing actually how bad the community has actually gotten it has even turned the church against them. Continuing to make his letter run smooth he ends the paragraph by using ethos by stating, " I commend you, Reverend Stallings, for your Christian stand on this past Sunday, in welcoming Negroes to your worship service on a non-segregated basis." This shows his knowledge of knowing how to keep an audience into his writing. By using logos in the thirty-fifth paragraph, " When I was suddenly catapulted into the leadership of the bus protest in Montgomery, Alabama, a few years ago, I felt we would be supported by the white church . I felt that ministers, priests, and rabbis of the south would be among our strongest allies. Instead, some have been outright opponents, refusing to understand the freedom movement and misrepresenting its leaders." These are a few examples of pathos, ethos, and logos showing how amazing King's knowledge was.
In my opinion this was a extremely well written continuously through the whole piece. Just the way he uses his rhetorical knowledge just makes the piece so fluent. Using pathos in the first half of the paragraph then converting to ethos at the end makes the paragraphs so fluent. His logos also just ran extremely well throughout this piece of writing. He use of pathos, ethos, and logos was like a pieces to the puzzles. One piece does not make the whole picture but when he puts all the pieces together it makes an amazing piece of historical literature. In my opinion this was one of the greatest rhetorical writings not only in American History, but in World History.

e-assignment 1
The writer of the blog Road Signs That Read:" Warning Alcoholic Crossing" seems to be very well put together. They have defined themselves well and have chosen a good topic to write about, and are pretty knowledgeable about the topic as well. There is not much information about the writer but with the way the blog is put together they seem to know a lot about alcoholism and about what alcohol can do to you.
This blog would probably appeal most to people who are having problems with a drinking or drug addiction. Alcoholism is a serious problem, and this blog can show those who are dealing with this problem that there is help out there for them if they truly need it. This blog may also appeal to younger readers as well, kids need to learn more about what alcohol can do to you before they turn 21 and are out at all the bars with their friends.
The writer presents the content of the blog by telling things that everyone basically knows already, they sort of just remind us of what we already know. They start by talking about drinking and driving and how police officers are becoming more aware of what is going on with the drinking and driving. They also talk about how when a person turns 21 and starts to go out to the bars they already have a favorite bar to go out to. The writer makes you stop and realize that people just turning 21 should not have their favorite bars already picked out. The writer also helps build to what we should already know, and keeps the audience's attention by the knowledge that we should already have.
Over all I think this blog is very educational and a good place for people with a problem to go if they or someone they know needs help. This blog also makes people stop and realize that not only is drinking and driving a bad and serious problem, but under aged drinking is also a problem. The whole part about a person turning 21 already having a favorite bar makes it so much easier to realize that under aged drinking is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. This blog is specifically meant for those who are struggling with an alcohol addiction, they need to see that there is help there for them when they themselves realize they need help.

Content Analysis
Do you remember taking the ISTEP when you were in grade school? Should the fall ISTEP test be changed from reviewing the academic standards of the previous school year to the spring to test what the students learned from the current school year? The ISTEP test is used to show how much a child has learned in the previous academic year, this test is given up through a child’s sophomore year of high school to test and see what they have learned. The ISTEP can also be a way of showing the state what has been taught well in the classroom and what needs to have some work done. The problem with switching the ISTEP to the spring instead of the fall is that some of the material on the test may not have been covered by the time of the test. The teachers are told what to teach, but they have no set time on when they have to teach it or how long they have to spend teaching it. With the ISTEP test being in the fall the children will be able to show what they have learned completely and in the spring they will not be able to perform to their full ability. Due to this the ISTEP should remain in the fall to give the children the best opportunity to succeed, but if the ISTEP were moved to the spring it will take away from some of the anxiety placed on the children from not being in school to learn over the summer. Also if the test were to be moved to the spring then it could show how the teachers are teaching and how well the students are responding to the subjects being taught. Since this is the first year and a basic test run of the switch from fall to spring the graders of the test will see if a specific problem is too complicated for the test and that question will be removed. The ISTEP test switch is something that may take some getting used to, but may be very rewarding in the end for the student and teachers.
A new stimulus plan that has supposedly been proposed by the government is taking Evansville and the surrounding towns by storm; the only problem is that the money is to be used on transportation and road issues only. Should the new stimulus package be used on transportation issues or should the money Evansville will be receiving be put to better use? The new stimulus package is being proposed for all of Indiana, but each part of Indiana will be receiving amounts of money to be used on different transportation needs, and Evansville will be sharing the money with the other surrounding towns. This stimulus package is supposed to be used to create some new jobs and boost the economy, but if the money was used instead on something that would actually create more jobs or help out the community it would be put to better use than a newly paved road. This stimulus package has set rules it has to follow as well, it of course can only be used on things pertaining to transportation, but it has to be a project that is already to go and cannot go over the set amount either. With this new stimulus package the government could actually do something productive, not just waste the money on our cities roads or plant some grass to separate an interstate, but they could use this money to help school that need it, or better yet help out the college kids that live in Evansville and the surrounding areas. There are two colleges in Evansville and no money will be used to help them at all unless they need their roads fixed. Most of the people in the community of Evansville would probably agree that they do not want the money given to the state by the government to be used on our roads and other transportation issues. The government may think that this new stimulus package will be helping the economy, but in reality the only way that this stimulus package would help would be if it were used for something other than transportation.
Will the annexation of some parts of the west side hurt or help the people living in those areas? There are plan under way to expand the west side, but some of the surrounding parts on the outside of the city do not want to be annexed in to the city. They believe they will have to pay more and more money just to get the city services when they already have their own services taken care of. There are many members of these communities that are trying to get this changed, by making websites and speaking out at the city council sessions, but they aren’t really being heard at all. The members of the communities on the outside of the west side are afraid that if they are moved into city limits they will have to pay more for property taxes, pay more for other services, and they are afraid they won’t get the snow removal they need during the winter time. Some of the areas that have already been annexed into the city have gotten them to promise improve street lights, traffic signals, and phase in their new property taxes over a three year period. Also they are worried about the sheriff’s departments, if the areas are decreased than the need for deputies will decrease as well and that will cause job losses. City officials may think that this expansion will help the people in the city and those people that will become part of the city, but they may need to listen to the people they are relocating before they go on with this expansion.
Should USI students be worried that every time they hear that a storm may be rolling in that their power will be going out? Recently the students at USI have had quite the black out with power going 3 times in a two week period. The USI director of facility operations says that those power outages are not something that will be happening all the time, and each time there was a power outage that the same problem had occurred. The main problem is from the ice storm that tore through southern Indiana in January causing the transition lines to become weak. The very first power outage after the ice storm lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes which caused some classes to be canceled and was blamed on high winds, but the other two power outages were unrelated to high winds at all. A spokesperson from Vectren said that the spotted power outages have been common all over the community after the severe ice storms in January. The Vectren spokesperson also said that all problems including USI’s are completely fixed and now they are just dealing with any new issues. As a precaution for any future power outages residence life is trying to get full back generators for the community center so that students have hot meal when the power is out and they have no way to cook any food. To the students the power outages were great, they get out of class and everything, but they get old after a while. Now that the problem is fixed they don’t have to run and get flashlights every time there is a storm in the area.
Will the construction of the UC Bridge and on the roadways at USI be more of a disruption than expected? The new construction at USI is planned to start after the spring 2009 graduation and will cause some problems for the summer courses at USI, but will those problems boil over into the fall semester as well? For now they say that the inconveniences are affecting mostly summer classes, but if the construction is not done on time it could affect the fall semester too. The new construction on the roadway is to make a roundabout at the entrance of campus with a large brick and stone USI sign and may have a fountain incorporated in it as well, make the lanes larger on Bent Twig Lane, add in turning lanes, and to improve the roadways as well. As for the UC, the large bridge will be tore down taking away the great space where everyone stands when it is raining or when it is cold outside. The University has already started taking bids on who will be doing the construction, but has not decided on a specific contractor yet. The one bad part about this new construction is that in order to improve the roadway and make it larger crews needed to cut down trees, but they are planning on replanting almost 130 new trees to replace the ones they had to cut down. Although the construction may be a pain to deal with now it will certainly be worth it to have the USI campus looking as wonderful as it will look.
