In Class Freewrite
It was different from the other readings that we had to read this semester. The Man in the Irony Class wasnt the best story I had read. But i did however like how we described his life before he got all famous. I like how he said he used to "make up stuff in my bio all the time, I would make up that I was a professional skater and stuff like that."

In Class: freewrite
one of my favorite things about the reading was the fact that we got to see the other side of the life of buda. not only were we able to see that she was a very successful singer and dancer, we got to see how she is outside of that. We were able to see that she was a very loving mother, a great painter, a great sewing, and a great drawer. Most of these things the average person doesnt know about because all they know of babu is that she was a great singera nd dancer. Also, i really liked all the detail taht was given about her.

rhetorical blog 3
As I began to read "Home Girl," I realized that the essay was a well thought out essay. The essay was written so well that it made me the reader easy to fallow. I didn’t have to ask myself as I read the next paragraph, "what did I just read." Instead, I was able to fully understand the essay and was able to relate to it.
The author Hall made Babu play a role that was the same as Hall’s in real life. She was able to fully explain who she was all about instead of what most people know of her. Besides the fact that she was a singer, we were able to tell that she was a mother. This was explained in the very first paragraph. I really like how they put this near the start of the essay. Generally when people hear of she name they probably only think about the singer to it. They fail to realize that she was a loving mother that cared for there child.
I see very good detail when they began to talk about her assistants and what they do. The description was explained that she had "three other assistants, Denise, Sharlene, and Alfredo. They hustled around in their bare feet, cleaning, making phone calls, getting things ready for the afternoon. It was just after eleven on an October morning at Badu’s house on the shores of White Rock Lake, in East Dallas. I was there to spend a day with her, to find out just what a Dallas R&B star does with her time." This shows that she gives extremely good detail in describing her life other then just the basic singer life.
We get to see who she deals with everyday of her life like with her child or her assistants. We can tell by the details that there is much more to her life then just singing and dancing. There is the sewing, the drawing, the mothering, and the paintings. All of these details are written very well throughout the essay and it helps the reader understand the life of her other then a singer.
This essay has really helped me understand how I am going to write my essay. I learned that I need to interview the person more then once and that I need to asks basic general questions followed by more in depth questions so I can understand not only what on the surface of their life but what is underneath that really counts.

In Class: brainstorming for essay 3
Football-dad, brother, cousin
Hunting-uncles, dad, and cousin
Fishing- friend casey
Guns
Golf-cousins
Mowing the Lawn- me
NCAA Football 2010- me
Cooking Breakfast-mom
Building things-uncle, dad, and other uncle
Washing my Truck- my dad
Sleeping- me
My dad was born february 5, 1959. he grew up in new braunfels, tx were he lived most of his life. he grew up liking football just like me. i always knew he liked the sport but since i never really talked to him about his life of football, it always made me wonder. I just about know the basic of his football career like where he played for and how many years. but i never got the inside scoop on him and football. when i lived at home, i never really asked him about his football days. instead he had always talked to me about helping me in the game of football. So, i always wanted to know about his life with football.

In Class Freewrite: Essay 2
I am currently done with essay 2. i need to just put all the papers together as far as the portfolio. the paper went well as far as writing it. It was a little rough trying to find all the research about the topix but over then that the writing was smooth. I got all my sources yesterday and i cited all of them too. I believe we had to get 5 sources and that is how many i got. the weather has been crappy this morning. I was extremely humid and hot. i hope it gets cooler before football or is will not be a good one.
