Crossfire blog

In class we watched crossfire which didn't really interest me because I have never really liked politics, however while watching the program I noticed a lot of different forms of argument.  It was a very heated debate between Stewart and bow tie guy. I really liked how Stewart went about the argument, because he kept his cool and tried to go about the argument in a very comedic way. He also said that the show they were on was "hurting America" which showed that he felt very strongly. I noticed that they were both on complete different sides of the topic and bow tie guy was just attacking Stewart as a person rather than his beliefs. I felt that that made him look very unprofessional. I feel it goes with the so what so well because it shows more about how people will attack each other rather than their beliefs.

In high school I was not the best writer. I always took AP English but I would never pass the exams. I think I would not pass the exams because I was terrible at writing essays. My problem was that I could never get my papers started. I would brainstorm and get great ideas on my paper, but I could never turn those ideas into a well written essay. Once I get the paper going I can write a decent essay.  Another problem I have in my essays is I tend to repeat myself over and over again. I also tend to use a lot of short narrow sentences so I finish what I have to say in just a couple of sentences. I need to learn how to broaden out my ideas. However I feel that the best part of my essays would be my grammar.  I've always had decent grammar, so I guess grammar is the easiest thing for me in essays.
