I would like to do the a journey as Martin Luther King Jr during the 1960s all the the boycotts, speeches, etc up until he died. Because you said we could make it as a story and all. If im able to do that would i be able to use I since im speaking in first person as if i were Martin Luther King. Im sure i will have enought to cover 3-5 pages but to make it a little more interesting and to put a twist to it, could i possible focus at the end after he has died him looking over the world and seeing if all he did was in vain or did it make a difference?

Freshman Convocation
Freshaman Convocation was nothing i expected it to be, i thought it would be a time to remember. I knew we would meet the Deans, Chancellors, the President of SGA, etc. The staff came in there with there robes on as if it was Graduation already, i didnt know what was going on. Then various staff members came up introducing other staff members from various departments and telling their positions and others below them. Then there was an address that was given, and that was so boring. He talked about how USC Upstate came about, past graduated students, the new work thats being done, and the up coming activities and programs. I thought old churches that my dad preaches at some times was boring, but they arent as boring as his address. My ideal Freshman Convocation was games and the interaction of the audience, music, and things of that nature. Its supposed to be a welcoming process and that was not a lovely welcome.

Jay Chiat Illusions Are Forever
Chiat means that he believes that the internet is the only hope for true democratiztion, a truly populist publishing form, and a mass communication tool completly accesbible to everyone. He believes that the internet will expose many things that cant be shown on tv and thats being hidden by the government and other organzitations. it exposes much truth that many people try to hide. He also believes that its great communication, especially when you have family and friends near and far. Its also good and accesible for your job and maybe other things that require communication and information from all over the world. He also stated that the internet exposes many things that have been forgotten. He also believes that the internet exposes the truth that many people in power try to hide. He stated that the truth is presented, represented, and re-presented by the individuals who have the floor, rather they are powerful or powerless. It reminds us of the truth that's going on around us that many shame and keep convidential, because it exposes their infermities. I do agree that the internet is our savior, because when i need information i am able to go to the internet. I find out information that i never knew by just browsing, and information that the government tries to with hold is found out and placed on the internet. I believe that the internet exposes much truth because its placed my individuals that have problems with whatever they are stating.

An experience that taught you what good writting is.
An experience that taught me good writing was when i went to the tenth grade and i couldn't get a single good grade on my papers. In ninth grade i did really well on my papers and my teacher never complained. On the other hand when moved on to the tenth grade that changed. I could only form a thesis well and have good points, according to my teacher but i thought i was doing well. It was my first paper that i did for her and i had red pen marks all over my paper. I was shocked i thought i did my best, i reviewed the paper several of times, and made sure that all the errors were corrected. My teacher had fixed all of my mistakes and wrote down my strengths and weaknesses. As the year went on i learned how to form a thesis better and come up with good points, but sometime i have trouble with the flow of my paper and making sure that everything is correct. I really have a hard time forming my paper and making sure that everything is correct, because i think that it's correct but the teacher differs. I know the fundamentals of writing a good paper, but i have a hard time applying it writing the paper. An experience that taught me about what good writing is, was the mistakes of my bad writing.
