Chapter 9

Speculating about causes is a rather neat topic. Typically, I don't enjoy reading out of textbooks however this topic wasn't that horrific. I liked the blue introduction page on 402 and the description given on the left page. There were also a few stories I enjoyed reading such as "The Telescope Effect" on 415 and "Why We Crave Horror Movies" on 422. Stephen King compared a scary movie and a roller coaster, how each of them will scare a scream out of us but we do it to ourselves anyways. Page 448 helped me with improving my draft and proofreading it as well.

Second draft

I was having a hard time finding a suitable activist to write about but I finally did. I needed help with getting started so I went back to early paper writing days and started an outline. I got a good amount of help from page 445 in St. Martins Guide.

Rough Draft thoughts and feellings

The first rough draft was rather easy. I liked that we had to locate and document a plaque describing a memorable event that took place. In addition, it will cause a lot of different stories rather than everyone talking about the same thing. Also, it was easy and helpful to research the event to write about it. I think tattoos are pretty neat and I plan on having one soon. To me they express how someone feels and certain characteristics to their background to an extent.
