Comment on the private nature of your first email you sent to me and how you revised/didn't revise the your writing when posted on a public blog.

      When i first wrote this piece I knew that my professor would be the only one seeing it so I spoke from the heart and told my honest opinions.
       I chose not to revise my original email when I posted it to my public blog because I meant what I said. I took the thought and effort the first time I wrote that piece so I know exactly what I put in there and for what reason I put it. I do not think anything in that piece is so controversial that I would have to change it to protect the innocent and what not. I spoke the truth the first time and to change it would be like lying, regardless of who my audience was or is now.

Blog 2- Some thoughts on Writing, Research and Technology.

  Writing-  I enjoy writing when I actually get the chance to. The types of writing I like varies from short stories, poems, narrative essays, any essays really.  I have dabbled in many different writing styles throughout the years; I don’t really have a favorite but my least favorite is the formal MLA or APA writing. I believe that when I write in these type of formats that I tend to pay attention more to the structure rather then the content.

 

2. Research-  I’ve always done my research by books or the internet, so doing first hand research would be an interesting change. I think I would like to investigate people who work in restaurants because I’ve worked in one since I was fifteen, I’m 22 now, so I have had the time to people watch and gain a lot of insight toward that type of business. It would be based on my observations and I could interviews my fellow co workers to gain some of their insights as to why people work there, what kind of people work there. I also want to find out from the veterans as to why they have lasted so long in an industry where everyone is considered replaceable.

 

3.  Technology-  The types of technology I use now are my cell phone, digital camera and computer. My cell phone is actually bothering me because I want a smart phone that I can go on the internet with and check my e-mail and face book. This problem will probably be fixed in a few months when I buy a new phone. I love my digital camera, taking pictures has become one of my favorite hobbies. One day I wish to buy a professional camera to take better quality pictures. My computer on the other hand  is perfect for my needs. I use it for e-mail, research, bills, face book, twitter and I did begin a blog  but I haven’t had time to give it the attention it needs
