Through reading this review I received a good picture of what my review should should like when completed. I need to make sure that I give the reader of my review a clear picture of what the food tastes like, what the restaurant looks like and how the experience was all together.

Profile Paper

I feel that I have a lot of work to do to make my paper better. Through interviewing Coach Baechler, I got a good impression of the kind of person he is and the accomplishments he has made. It is important that I put those things into the paper. I need to find a better way to put his voice into the paper. Explaining the way he looks and the way he talks will make the reader understand this man much better. I need to explain the things that make other people look up to him and appreciate what he has done for the community. I know that there are many people out there that feel he has done amazing things for his football team and those people need to be represented in this paper. Through editing my own paper, I have found that there are way too many being verbs and I know that I can make it much better if I eliminate those verbs. I also need to add more of Coach Baechler's voice into the paper. He is a stern, quiet man and the reader would not get that by just reading my rough draft. I have a lot of work to do with citations as well throughout this paper. All together, I have a lot of work, but I'm sure it will all come together. :]

Rap on Rap

I find it interesting that in this article, Rap on Rap: The Black Music That Isn't Either, that the way that the author looks at rap music, he doesn't see it as for blacks or as music. The author makes the point that rap music has been misunderstood and seen possibly in the wrong way by white listeners. He says that rap music has changed over time in the way it sounds. It has taken many different forms from the type of people rapping to the type of lyrics to the appropriateness of the way it sounds. The people listening to the music has also changed over time. Whites used to be very against this type of music, while recently they have adapted to it. Many white people try to adapt to the music by maybe dressing in baggy clothing, dressing like a wigger, a term used to categorize that type of clothing for whites.

Online Research

I did the research for my profile of a community member today. I found a lot of information on Tim Baechler. It was pretty easy to find the type of information that I was looking for. It seemed that there was a few websites talking about him. There was a lot of information that talked about his accomplishments and his awards. He has done a lot of good things with his football team. I can't wait to put the whole paper together and complete it. It should hopefully turn out good!

Contact with Member of Community

I made contact with the member of the community I choose to write about today. His name is Tim Baechler. He is the head coach of the Canton High School football team. When I went to see him today, he seemed like he was interested in helping me out. I asked him if there was a good time for me to come and interview him and he told me that anytime after school would be fine. I am thinking that this interview and the paper should go pretty well.

Live from Death Row

The article that we are supposed to read for class tomorrow, Live from Death Row, was a little bit sad. Although prisoners deserve the treatment they are given, since they have done bad things themselves, I think that it is still sad to think about the things they go through. For any "normal" person to go through the things that prisoners go through would be horrible. Thinking about the conditions of prisons and the violence in the prisons hurt in a way. It is sad to think about the life that was taken away from these men and women who are placed in prisons.

Profile of a Community Member

We were given our next paper topic today. The topic is to write about a community member. I am not quite sure who exactly I would like to write about someone from one of the three high schools on that campus. I was very involved in my high school and a lot of the people that work there have made an impact on my life. I was thinking either a teacher or a coach would be good members of the community to be interviewed. I think that I should try to make this paper very good and make sure my interview goes well.
