Does it suck??
Elephant:  This elephant does not suck because it represents America; the colors of our flag and our freedom!
Obama:  President Obama does not suck. He is the leader of our country. He protects us.
Harry Potter:  Harry Potter does suck simply because, the books were too long, and the movies were so unrealistic.
Apple: This apple does not suck.  This apple represents technology and how we have evolved into  a computer world.
Star Wars: Star Wars sucks because it is unrealistic and no one would ever wear the clothing these people wear; they look silly.
Facebook: Facebook does not suck.  Facebook is a great link for communication throughout the world with many avenues to meet new people and to reunite with old friends.
McDonalds: McDonalds suck because it is a greasy fat food restaurant with a silly clown to entice children to eat the fattening foods.
Clemson University: Clemson University does not suck. Clemson University represents education and a bright future for incoming freshman.
Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga does not suck simply because she knows how to be herself and is showing everyone to be an individual; do what you feel is good for you.
Justin Bieber:  Justin Bieber sucks simply because his music sucks, and he only attracts a small audience of very young kids.
Sudoku: Sudoku does not suck. It is a great game, popularized by the Japanese, to play with numbers which challenges the mind mathematically.
Avatar: Avatar sucks! Basically Avatar is about little blue men and we all know there is no such thing as bleu men!
Xbox 360: Xbox 360 sucks since all anyone can do is sit on their butt and play games all day. No wonder obesity is so prominent in America.
American Idol: The television show American Idol does not suck. It is great show where people of all ages can show their talents and hopefully get discovered by talent agents.
Glee: Glee sucks. It is just a silly show where adults try to act like they are in high school and compete in singing competitions.
Marlboro:  Marlboro cigarettes suck simply because they smell bad and can cause serious health problems.
Guns: Guns suck. Not much to say here; they kill animals and people! Again, guns suck!
Abortion: Abortion SUCKS!! Abortion is morally wrong; all deserve to live!
Dog in clothes: Wow, a dog in clothes sucks simply because dogs are not Barbie dolls for anyone to play dress up.

Writing...

Whenever I have a writing assignment, I instanly start to moan, because usually I have no idea of where to start or what to write about. In the past year, I have had to write several assignments so now it is beginning to be a lot easier. The topic I chose to write my first assignment is one that I have wanted to research but did not have the opportunity. So being interested in the topic is always a plus for me!

I find that I have to be in my room, very low music playing and sitting in the middle of my bed when starting a writing assignment. I can not be propped up by a pillow or even by a chair back; I must be sitting straight up with no props. The process which helps me write is first, I just start typing ideas on my computer; second, I begin researching on the library and google websites; third, I choose which side I am going to take a stand on, protagonist or antagonist. Once this is decided, I begin reading my sources and typing a very rough draft. After I have completed it, I reread it and make corrections. I cannot start a paper and finish it at a later time; I must complete the rough draft in one sitting. Once my rough draft is complete, I have to put the paper asside for several hours before I reread it again.

I have found that this website has been amazing for me when making  MLA citations.

On the side of the box they give a brief introduction of the ceral. The first sentence
 reads, " Each 30g serving has 7g of fiber, making Flax Plus a high fiber source.

My FAVORITE candy!
Peanut M&Ms

  • Brightly colored packaging
  • Bright colored images of the M&Ms
  • They are both smiling so they must be good
  • Package fits nicely in my hand; not too big
  • Package rattles to let me know there are goodies inside
  • Rips open easily
  • Not wordy
  • M&M written real big to catch our attention
  • Circle in middle brings my eyes to the center of package to see the M&Ms

As a PRTM major I am required to do many papers. I have learned about plagiarism and copying of another person's work. It is unethical to copy another one's work because technically it is stealing. We were taught at an early age stealing is wrong. I will not plagiarize or steal work from another student, author, professor, etc.

Crocodiles are majestic, powerful, and amazing creatures.
Thesis:
Crocodiles are very powerful and majestic. Look at the above picture. The way he stands there proud, in control and mostly very powerful. His physical traits allow them to be successful predators. The shape of his body allows him to swim swiftly in the water. For example, look at his webbed feet. They allow him to make fast turns and sudden moves in the water to catch his prey when they come near. Look at the way he stands. It looks as if he is waiting for his prey. He typically does not chase his prey; instead he waits patiently for the prey to come near and swiftly attacks using his sharp teeth tearing and holding onto flesh of his dinner. He is an amazing creature. Aside from being a predator, these animals are hunted by several. Many people consider the crocodile to be a delicacy not to mention their hide is used to make purses, shoes, wallets, etc.

Crocodiles are ridiculous looking, silly, and lame creatures.

Thesis:
Look at the above picture. This crocodile looks silly standing there so bulky and big. He looks ridiculous with short legs, and beady eyes. We must wonder if he is starved because of his ridiculously short legs. How can he possibly catch anything to eat? Wow, his skin is so scaly and rough looking in this picture. Probably because all he does all day is sit in the sun an lay in ponds. This crocodile is so lame; he has no purpose in life because of his slowness and laziness.
