Me a Writer thats a joke
Is this a joke? Maybe a retorical question?
A writer in my opinion is someone who writes what they want and are willing to let others see their ideas. The spread of the words they express and write is what makes them writers to me. I am definitely not a writer, no way no how, and if it wasnt for this class you wouldnt see what i am writing now or anything at all. None of the other posts would exist because i am not a writer and dont feel it necessary to express my ideas since i honestly have no vested intrest or intrest in general in what we are doing. The topics are ehh for me at best and i blog because i am told to do so.
I am not a writer, I am more like a puppet having my strings pulled doing exactly what i am being told to do.

Just Add Water
Three of the best words for a lazy person
When your feeling lazy can there be anything better to hear than just add water cuz then you know there is basically no work involved. The directions couldnt be more simple right 3 words what could go wrong. thank goodness i do not live on my own because if i did i would have to actually cook which i can do but really i am lazy and just adding water is so much easier. I like to do things as fast as possible and save as much time as i can so that i can do more things that i actually care about. My favorite things that you just add water to is Crystal light Iced tea and the soups you get in the cup. So easy to make and right at your fingertips.

A farmer REALLY?!?!?!?
Why am i reading an article from a farmer? he is a farmer not some big wig famous writer or professor but a regular joe schmo farmer. Now that is funny
This shows how everyone is entitled to their opinion and can get their ideas out there no matter of education or profession. He wants to express how we Americans are greedy and wasteful and well the only way i can describe that is by this (what i wrote in the class freewrite).
The article was showing how the United States was greedy and wasteful with all their fossil fuels and energy sources. The only way I can express greed and wastefulness is through the great american classic "the Simpsons". In one of the episodes Mr. Burns blocks out the sun. Now that is greed since he does it for ultimate power. Mr. Burns is a greedy and hordeful old man who wants everything for himself and wants to be all powerful. Since he owns the nuclear powerplant (the only other power source for the town) he blocks the sun out with a giant metal blocker making it completely dark and forcing people to obey his commands and pay to use the energy. From reading the article I felt like he was describing the United States as hordeful and greedy because of how we depleted all of our fossil fuels. Therfore the united states is very much like Mr. Burns in my example. Greed makes people do things that are completely out of context. So to me Greed and waste looks like MR. BURNS from the Simpsons.

Youtube
Yay we are watching youtube! Great maybe we will have some laughs and get to see some interesting stuff......
Nope it is Jacques Derrida giving us his opinion about writing, I am so thrilled. I mean i dont really care about writing i am more of a history and numbers guy but i guess you need to write in other to recall, relive, and practice both.
In every psychology class i have ever taken i get to hear about this Frued character who tells you about a dream in which you are naked in front of everyone and they can see you. That is probably on of the worst things i can imagine but in writing i guess it is a good thing to let everything be transparent and seen since it will allow for everyone to hopefully hear the same thing. Writing shouldnt be for others though it should be for the person who is writing it expressing their ideas and just letting others see their ideas.

uhhhhh NOT poems
Poems really as if this could get any worse!In the first poem Haas talks about how hard it is to describe the way a tree moves in the wind and Jones is on the ocean.
Both poems talk about the difficulty of launguage, what i mean by this is how the writer may mean one thing but the reader may take the phrase or book and portray it in a totally different way. With words meaning so many different things how can you say something and expect for someone to know exactly what you mean unless you are there to explain exactly what you mean! Writers have a very difficult time in order to make sure their meaning is understood.
Haas uses a tree to explain the growth of launguage by using a tree. A tree is planted as a sapling and grows and grows until it is a large and gorgeous part of nature. The vocabulary and meanings of words grow like the trees grows showing the true difficulty of using one word to just mean one thing.
I rather liked the metaphor that Jones used to get his point across. When he pours the drink into the water and it is dissolved and becomes part of the whole ocean. When you write the meaning you try to get across can be lost in the ocean of words just like the drink is lost in the water. Words have many meanings and when read by another that meaning that you once saw so clear when you wrote it or said it can be lost, misunderstood, and misconstrued into the way the reader or listener believes it to be or wants it to be.

learnig and mankind
This was a wonderful read and just made me so happy you have absoluetly no idea. I wish there was a a sarcasm font because i know this is supposed to be enjoyable but boy o boy this is just not me."Collabrative learning and the conversation of mankind" by Kenneth Bruffee was looking into the issue about collabrative learning in the classrooms. What i grasped to be the main point of this article, in which really i have no intrest in since i am almost dont with my education (thank goodness), was how knowledge is ultimately derived. Is knowledge gained through interaction, are we born with it, or is it a gift that we are given?
I honestly believe that the way we gain knowledge is different for everyone because some people learn by interacting with others and expressing ideas and others gain knowledge from reading and practing what they have learned. Of course we are given the ability to think and make decisions for ourselves otherwise we would be like zombies just doing what we are told or mopping around acting idiotic. I sometimes feel like i am a zombie during school in general because i am just trying to do the bare necessity to scrap by and do absolutely no thinking. Sometimes thinking hurts, especially when it is something you really really do not care anything about.
If it was for interaction in some of my class i would probably hate each and every class because most of the ones i am in currently are very boring and uninteresting to me. This leads my mind to wander and for me not to give an iota of care for anything that the professor says. I definitely like to work in groups because the input of others help to come to a conclusion quicker in most cases and the distribution of work allows for more information to be discovered in a shorter period of time and allow for an answer to be found quicker. But then on the other hand i dont mind working on my own because i can count on myself and honestly do not have much faith in others since i like things done my way.
