Post exam #1                 Exam number one was easier than expected for me. I was stressing over it for no reason. Once I got the exam I felt like it came to me for the most part. The exam was nothing like I expected. It was shorter than expected. The easiest part of the exam for me was the second from last page, the page that had all the fill in the blank answers. The hardest part of the exam for me was the definitions in a complete sentence. It was not the complete sentence that made it hard for me it was defining words. I generally have a hard time remembering the definition of a word. Especially when put under the pressure of an exam. For a person taking their first short answer exam, I would say study more than you would for another exam. It is not like a multiple-choice text where you can usually deduce it down to two answer choices and if you do not know the answer you have a fifty-fifty shot. You mu...

Is America in turmoil? President Trump has a limited filter. His twitter “war” (which could lead to a nuclear war). Trump calls North Korea’s leader Kim Jung Un a “madman”.

Charles M. Blow’s Library visit, then held at gunpoint? Charles Blow’s article titled “ Library Visit, Then Held at Gunpoint? ” published in the New York Times Stood out to me because the way Charles Blow portrays his son intrigues me. Charles Blow portrays his son, who is a Yale student, as an above average student. He starts off by telling us that it’s Saturday evening and his son is at the library. Then he moves on to tell you that since his son was at the library he might as well put in a request for some multimedia equipment he will need for a future project. The way Charles Blow’s language changes throughout the article is a representation of how professional writers will use a certain type of word and change it to something else in the passage. For example in Charles Bow’s article the title says “held at gunpoint”, in the subheading he uses the word “detained”, later in the passage he states that his son was “accosted” by a campus police. Charles Blow states that later in the...
