CSI 1106

Filed under: Comp. 1 — asdesmet at 4:29 pm on Tuesday, October 30, 2007

-There is a white car that has got into an accident, the boat and the ground is holding the car up from going in the lake.

-lady standing at the scene of the accident (people in the backround)

-car smashed in on the left side.

Conclusion-Seems to me that the lady or man that was driving accidently floored the gas instead of stepping on the break to park in the parking lot.

My First Conk

I chose this quote, because I think it is really important that people expecially kids know the being yourself is the most important thing. I think the thesis is trying to tell people that a lot of people have felt this same way and have been in a similar situation, but the writer also showed that he learned a lot from this, that he figured out what was more important. After reading this essay, it made me flash back to middle school and high school, that a lot of my friends and even I went through a similiar stage, i like how the writer also makes everyone feel like it happens to everyone even the people you’d least expect.

He is still married to his wife Mildred for 50 years, they are living together at Keystone Bluffs Nursing home. Lucky is a very quiete kind of guy, but loved to talk about his wife and two kids, so I decided to focus my essay on his family.

My grandmother

Filed under: Comp. 1 — asdesmet at 8:46 pm on Monday, October 8, 2007

My grandmother Laurel Johnson(olson) was the oldest of eight children. She grew up on a farm in a small town called Wrenshall Minnesota. She had to help raise all eight of her brothers and sisters, because her father died when she was only 15 years old. Her mother had to provide food for her family, so she had to work all day in the feilds. They had really struggled to keep their family clothed, bathed, fed, and even sheltered. Back then working on a farm with only one adult and maybe three young boys helping run it wasn’t the easiest way to survive out in the country. I am very fortunate to have such a weaththy family, and I have realized back then there are so many other grandparents that have gone through the same thing or even worse. I’m sure my grandmother had experienced a lot of cool things that I will never experience, but learning about the way she had to really work hard to survive is something I would never want to go through, and hopefully never will.

Desecration? Dedication!

“Comedians have made jokes about gay-marraige contreversy along predictable lines..”

 Sure that’s a comedians job is to make anyone and everyone laugh, but to me making fun of gay-marraiges is probibly not something that is a great topic. I don’t necesarily disagree with gay -marraige it’s just something that’s someone’s personal choice and their business. I believe that anyone and everyone should have the right to be happy, and if two gay couples want to get married then so be it! Comming back to the quote, i beleive that sometimes comedians have topic that are too scetchy to talk about, and gay-marraige is one.
