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.

Readings in my Wikipedia topic
What I mostly read about in my Wikipedia topic was reviews and summaries of the 2012 horror film "Apartment 143(Emergo)." Some reviews were the same as other but most of them were different. I liked the ones that were different because it gave me an insight on how certain people viewed the movie. It also helped me with research on how to explain the plot and add more to the original synapsis that was already given on Wikipedia.
The other readings that I came across were summaries of the movie. Even though the movie to everyone will begin and end the same, some people had a different outlook of the summary. Since they were mostly all different I just decide to watch the movie once more and give accurate information based off the actual movie. My reading was somewhat all over the place because I wanted to see a variety of different views on the movie so that I can compare and contrast them.

The value of MLA
MLA has been adopted by many teachers, professors, and universities. MLA is a guided format that makes grading for professors a lot easier. It is valued because its is a form of citation used in college to give credit when using a source. The format for MLA can be found on may websites, however some sites do not use the correct citation format. MLA is an important format to know and learn for college and beyond. Here is a legit website that was suggested to me by Mr. Hamon himself, https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/.

Sloppy vs Neat People
After reading about sloppy people and neat people, I came to realize that I am a neat person. Most of the things that was said about neat people described me perfectly well. I didn't like how Britt made it seem like a sloppy person was better than a neat person because it sounds like she was more for sloppy people than neat people. Even though she looks down on neat people and think that they are mean and "stuck up", I think that part is false. As a neat person, yes I do show characteristics that Britt mentions, however, I am not mean. I keep my recipes for taxes purposes only because, well why else would you keep them? I also hate when things "collect dust", I am always cleaning and making sure things are neat and organized. My family thinks I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but trust me I don't, well at least I don't think I do. Regardless I am a neat person, and that just happens to be one of my personality traits.

Gay marriage
In Colson's "Gay Marriage/ Societal Suicide, stated that, "Marriage is the traditional building block of human society, intended both to unite couples and bring children into the world. Tragically, the sexual revolution led to the decoupling of marriage and procreation; same-sex "marriage" would pull them completely apart, leading to an explosive increase in family collapse, out-of-wedlock births—and crime. " I agree with that statement because the whole purpose of marriage along with all the other purposes is to unite couples and bring children into the world. I personally do not believe in it I do not think is right. I know I may seem like a bad guy because of that but to be honest, I do not support it. I think that same sex partners are pushing it too far. I know how Americans think that we have "came up in the world", but really its going down. I am a Christian and I could quote scriptures and what not but I won't. I have nothing against gay couples, just to put that out there. I just think marriage is too far since its already not okay in the first place. At the end of the day, I won't support it and gay couple will marry and life goes on.

Writers voice in wiki articles
A writer's voice in a wiki article should be firm. It should have authority within the article to either persuade, convince, or to grab the readers attention. Writers should make sure that when they are writing that they know what they are writing about and the purpose of the writing. Once the writer knows these things, the writers voice would be clear. Writer's need to have tone in their voice as well. Writers should choose a tone appropriate to what they are writing so things sound right. This allows the reader to understand where the writer is coming from. The tone could be either a disagreement (agree to disagree), since we are talking about wiki or agreeing with someone. These are just some examples on what the tone for a wiki article can be, this not what it is limited to. So, when you are writing a wiki or editing a wiki article make sure that you (the writer) has authority and some kind of tone in your voice. Also you should be "stuffy" focus on the information only.
