- A lot of times I think about having children and what their names could be. This always brings me online looking at loads of baby names. I find it very interesting to see the new names every year and how they get more different as years go on. The most popular name of the year always surprises me as well, but ultimately isn’t so unexpected.
- One experience from my everyday life is looking for graffiti on the streets. For my art history class, an extra credit assignment was offered where we had to explain the historical artistic context behind a piece graffiti. Because of that assignment, my eyes have been more observational of graffiti.
I continuously have been telling myself how much I like my new coat and how warm it keeps me. I find it interesting how similar so many coats look yet some are so much warmer than others. This Is due to the filling, but the question is raised when I look at everybody’s jackets.
Something new for me is walking to school. Before college, I had a car and drove to school so the cold never affected me too much. But now that I’m living in a walking city and I’m exposed to the weather a lot more, I wonder what can make my journey shorter.
- One notable thing I learn about research is that evidence may not always travel well from one field to another. When writing, I’m usually confident that when I’m finished, my readers will understand my sources, evidence, etc, for my arguments that I am trying to make. But it came to my attention while reading Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz that not everybody absorbs everything the same way and as much as my evidence makes sense to me, it may not to somebody else. This is important because I want to be able to reach all my readers in the same way. One way to help this is to find the perfect evidence, and explain it well.
