Favorite Movie


My favorite movie that I have seen is the first Iron Man. I really don't have a favorite movie but Iron Man was one of the coolest movies I have seen. I love the action and the cleverness of it. Also, who doesn't love Iron Man? I thought they did a really good job of setting up the story and portrayed what being captured would be like. The casting in the movie is outstanding too. I particularly liked the special effects in the movie. It amazes me how they are able to make everything seem to real. I wonder if they will be able to get any better in the coming years. Along with this movie, I am looking forward to the Avengers movie that is coming up. I think it is cool that they are tying all of their movies together to make one super movie. I really hope they do a good job on that because it has the possibility of being one of the best action movies ever. Overall though, Iron Man really captivated my imagination and really is the first movie that got me interested and wanting more. From that point on I have wanted to see all Marvel movies, and have seen them all. Out of all of them though, Iron Man was the original one for me, and in my opinion their major successes. The other ones by them are good, but nothing compares to Iron Man due to its action, humor and story line.

My Essay Progress

So far everything is going ok. I have a feeling I am still going to be rushing in the end. Eight to ten pages is a lot. I got basically all of my research done and know what I am going to be talking about. The only thing I really have to worry about it making it long enough and making sure I do not sound repetitive.

Why Write Reading


This wasn’t the funniest reading I have ever read, but it definitely had information in there that will help me. Even if I didn’t pick up everything from reading that I should have, I know where to find everything I need to know about this next paper. One thing I really like about this book is how it is structured though. It makes it really nice to find what I need in it, and while reading through this last assignment, I am able to know what I will be reading before I get to it. That helps me to comprehend better. Okay, just wanted to say that, now about the reading. I really liked the section titled “Careful Persuasion: Using Ethos, Pathos, and Logos”. In this next paper we are going to have to use these three things one way or another. Using this section as a tool will help me to know if I am organizing it in the right way, or presenting it in an appropriate way. I also think that the book is right when it says to “Find a balance” (177). Often times in my writing I don’t balance the paper well.  In this next paper I really want to find a good balance that will keep the reader interested all the way through this long, painful paper. If I am able to do that for this next paper, than I will be happy and feel good about whatever grade. Well, I would feel better about an “A” to be honest, but you get what I mean.
