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.
