How to make my own writing more emphatic

I feel as though my writing is already clear, but I may be wrong. If I am, then to make my writing more clear to my audience, I may need to put the most important ideas at the end of the sentences.(How to write English) If I put the main points in the beginning that will be helpful to the reader and it will keep them interested in my writing. I should keep the end short as in not adding new information to my conclusion. Also, I could have more authority within my writing, which will cause the reader to believe, or at least feel that I know what I am talking about, and allow then to want to read on. These things would help me to make my writing more emphatic, if not already.

Role of guns in America

Guns in America has pros and cons. Having a gun to protect yourself and your family is good to have because you never what somebody could wake up one day and try to do. a small hand gun would be appropriate but not a machine gun or other guns that are over the top, that most people wish to have, but that is not necessary. In that case having guns is a pro, but when it comes to cons, there a few such as, children or teen getting a hold to them, people just showing off there gun for fun or worse, to use them in unnecessary ways. Some people with guns use them to scare others and to be seen with it. Some people do not use it in the right way, which is bad because that is the way most Americans use their guns. Like stated before the role of guns can be positives, but the way people are and how they abuse the privilege sort of make the role of having a gun a negative thing, when it really shouldn't have to be.

Conflict I had with someone in my family

I'm usually the one who tries to prevent conflict with my family but when it does happen it usually is with my little brother. We are always arguing and fighting. My mom always says that it is only because we love each other. I do love him but he does get on my nerves a lot. One time we got into a fight because I was already upset about something I can't remember right now, but he was making it worse by once again getting on my nerves. So, we got to arguing and he threw my bag down on the ground so we fought. You know, normal sister brother fighting. I ended up scratching his face leaving a scare that is still there a little bit. My little brother Gervon, is 14 years old now and we do not fight as much anymore. I guess he has stop "stunting" me and I stopped "stunting" him.

Two colleagues' posts about family or Wikipedia topic

Eric stated that, "My relationship with my mother and father is a lot like Mannings relationship with his mother and father ," this is pretty surprising because I am the same way sort of. My mom and I are like Manning and his father. I didn't know a lot of people had that relationship. Its not sad that we do not have a strong "friendship base" relationships with their parents because, well to me your parents are not supposed to be your friend, but some my argue differently. Alexus said, " Your relationship with  your family should be strong," I 100% agree with that because, well its in plain sight, it should. Your family is sometimes all you have so its better to keep those bridges up instead of burning them down. Even though the relationship between my mother and I is physical and that we really do not talk about the deep stuff like my personal life, we still communicate and we have our own special bond and we are always going to be a family.
I know this may be off subject, but I assure you that what I am about to say relates. I am still trying to figure out what to do with my life as far as my degree. I at first wanted to be a nurse and like Alexus said, "A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital but cant be cared at home," that is where I thought I wanted to be, but what about "doing something you love, so you'll never work a day in your life" So after putting more thought into it, I am thinking about New media and Communications, however I am still iffy about that. Eric also said, " I never would have thought goes into the production and behind the scenes work of filmmaking," and right about now that my be me. I say that because that is something that I would consider and then in the long run fall in love with it.

Information I learned about my Wikipedia topic

My wiki topic was on Apartment 143, which is horror film that was released in 2011. The only thing that I have learned about it is basically everything from just watching the movie. However, I did learn about the producers. After reading post on IMDB,  I was able to learn more about the producers and the production companies. I also learned what the original title came from. I looked it up and found out that it means to escape. Another interesting thing that I learned, that was obvious, if you watched the movie is that, Rodrigo Cortés, purposely, " exposed the audience to some wild supernatural activity within the first 15 minutes of the movie, and the attempted terror turmoil’s really don’t slow much beyond that point, said by Matt Molgaard in Besthorrormovies.com" Most producers make the audience wait about half way within the movie to start the action, but Rodrigo Cortés wanted to make a more realistic scene.

Changing relationship with your nuclear family, using quote from Manning's article

My mom and I so what get a long I think its neutral because its not like we do not get a long but then it again I am not saying that we do so its kind of a blank space there. i love her like to death but she isn't someone who I'd talk to about my problems or my struggles. She is hairlines and we have a few laugh well a lot of laughs almost all the time. Manning said that, "Our communication was physical." That is sort of like how my mom and I are. I mean, laughing is a verb right? and it could be physical, I think it is. We never talk like those mother/ daughter talks that most people have. We just make jokes and laugh at then or I would ask my mom to do ridiculous things for my amusement. It sounds like a pretty nice relationship, but it still lack the bond that teenage girls should have with their mothers. Maybe one day we'll get there when I am much older than I now.

2 posts from your colleagues, using quotes from each post

After reading Daniel's blog about what he has learned about his wiki topic, I actually learned a bit more about him. Daniel said, "I've learned that there's several different ways to hunt boar hogs ," after reading that and also the entire blog post, I now know that he likes to hunt and that he hunts as a hobby. I never met someone who actually hunts for fun. So, that was pretty interesting. I also noticed that we have the same views on gay marriage. In the gay married blog post he wrote, "Well first off, Im against gay marriage! ," this may same harsh, but I 100% agree with him. I do not support it but it will happen away. There is no way around it even if it is "sick that a man can like another man and the same for women."
In Eric's blog post about finding humor in a strange situation, I agreed with him when he said, "Depending on certain situations you encounter in life it doesn't hurt to find humor to maybe lighten the situation", because in life, you will experience some downfalls and the best medicine is laughter, so why not laugh at a situation? It may lighten up the mood. I also agreed with him in his post about men and women stereotypes. "Men stereotype woman more than vise versa." That is actually true, well to me its true because I normally see and hear men stereotyping women everyday rather than women stereotyping men.

what makes an effective introduction to a Wikipedia article

I think that an effective introduction would be to first explain the topic so that readers will know what the overall article is about. The introduction should also state facts, be very detailed, and flow efficiently. These things will help the reader to grasp and take in everything so that they will not be lost while reading through the article. The introduction should not jump right into a topic without first taking baby steps. You have to ease your readers into your article and the introduction is supposed to walk the reader through it.

What I have learned about my Wikipedia topic

I learned that for one, the original article didn't have any detailed information in it and for two, how to edit my article and expand it. I also learned that the movie "Apartment 143,"  was originally a Spanish movie and was created again for English speaking countries. Emergo was the name the producers gave at first, which is Latin for escape. They changed the name but still kept Emergo as a substile. It is a really good movie especially the end, and if any of you have a Netflix account do not hesitate to watch "Apartment 143" for yourself.

Men and Women streotypes

This is a topic that is up for a big discussion, but in my opinion, men seem to have the upper hand when it comes to stereotyping. Women stereotypes are worse than those of a man because women are usually "supposed" to be under a man. In other words, "This is a man's world". Regardless of anything, people should not label anyone a stereotype, however, it is apart of life and there isn't any escaping. I don't like how people stereotype women, especially women of today. I know that some women can be "messed up", but that isn't all of us. When people see ONE person or a small group of people or even the women on hip-hop videos, people automatically become fortune tellers and can tell your whole life style to you. That is not true. I have been stereotyped a lot and most of the time I am the opposite of what people think I am or what I do. Now, for guys, I don't too much like it but at the same time I am not one so I don't know how to feel about it, since men and women are stereotyped differently. What I can say is that maybe most men do not care what people think because they know its going to happen and that there isn't much too do about it. Women, on the other may care because I do sometimes.

Finding humor in a strange situation.

I have seen many strange situations through life and yes, all of them have been pretty funny. One day my boyfriend Tre and I was riding the train to six flags. It was a Sunday and two men have just gotten out of church. Now they were arguing for the longest about $10. So, they were right next to Tre and I, and they acted like they were about to fight, but they didn't. So one guy says "I don't care what you do, you better have my $10 in the next stop" and the other guy says, "I don't have your $10, so leave me alone". This went on for about 3 stops. The guy who wanted the $10 was threatening the other guy that he was going to fight him, if he doesn't give him the money. Lets not forget that they BOTH just got out of church. So, as the ride went on the got into each other's faces and started yelling and then at the next stop they got off and right before we could see any thing serious, the train zoomed away.

Analyzes the organization of my Wikipedia article


In my wiki article, I used the template that was given to me by Mr. Hamon. It is broken down into six parts, Analysis of Article, Reading List, Revised paragraph from article, Production Companies, Ratings, and Original Contribution. In  my Analysis of Article, I simply put what the article needed more of or was lacking. The Reading List is all the sites that I read and analyzed. I Revised the original paragraph from article into my own words and I gave more details than the original. I supplied the productions companies so that people can know that information, which was left out in the original article. With the original contribution, all I did was add what I fixed about the article.
