Im thinking about doing my next project on the role of women. I looked up some articles about Bella and found this one. It is questioning if Bella is a good role model for the girls reading the books. I think over all Bella is a good person, she cares about school and her family. However, there is a question as to whether or not if she is to dependent on Edward. When bella is dumped she acts as if she has literally died. Young girls do need to know that it is not the end of the world being dumped. You should never let a guy have that affect on you. It is good that in the books they have Bella being with jacob to show that having people who care about you around can help when you hurt.
Here's the article!

We finished Northanger Abbey which was a book that I really enjoyed reading. Today in class we watched the last part of the movie that went with the book. It was a little different than the book but it was still good. I love to watch movies from books I have read. A cool thing that was in the movie was the symbolization of the vampire. How Catherine had accused Henry's dad of being a horrid guy and maybe have harmed their mother. I liked how Henry said that he was not literally a monster but still acted like one, maybe like a vampire. This is because he had "sucked the life" out of their mom by just using her for her money. This is also intresting because the whole vampire symbolizing relates to other stories we are reading in class. The ones that actually have vampires in them.

We are currently in the middle of our first project and I am enjoying writing this paper. The paper is different than my comp one papers. I am use to writing more formal and this paper is less formal and more article style writing. I enjoy writing this type of paper because it lets me experience a different type of writing style. I also enjoy this assignment because it lets me write in more of my own style and express my opinion. One cool thing I learned today in class is citing in your article with a hyperlink. You choose a word and insert a hyperlink. I have never done this before and I find it pretty neat.
Here's an

example!!!

I never thought of reviewing as reading with a critical eye but it seems like a much better way to go when reviewing your paper. You do not want to just briefly review your paper, critiquing it yourself will help when the next person reads your paper and hopefully leaving them with less to critique. Revising is something I do the most, just going over your paper again and again making improvements. Also letting another person revise your paper is good especially if they don't know much about the topic you can ask them if they do after reading your paper. Editing is something else I will do over and over. I also like to go to the writing center for advice because they are a lot of help! The work I did in high school was much different than this. I guess you could say I did not review, revise, and edit my papers as much as I do now. My layout of papers is a little different to, they are more organized since I have had more experience. Last semester in my comp one class we had peer review.I received useful advice on grammar and another persons opinion was good to have also. This made editing my paper easier.

This is a link to a video that is the first part of Northanger Abbey. After reading one through five I looked up to see if they had made a movie out of the book. One of my favorite things is when they make a movie out of a book because I love to see books come to life. I also enjoy seeing what characters they pick for the movies and how well they play the part of the character in the book. This is one reason why I do enjoy the twilight series because of the movies that have came out.
