This is the half way mark of the research paper I should be either finished the paper or at least half way through. I’m neither, I am still at the beginning stages of my paper. I’m having major writers block and feel discouraged as I feel like I won’t meet my deadline in time. These past couple of weeks we were introduced to some concepts that might help us along the way in our process in writing our research paper. We talked about creditable sources, and In-text Citations. Using In-text Citation we need to focus on the summary, paraphrasing the text and using direct quotes to help support my ideas to help produce a better final project. We discussed arguments/ counter arguments. We also talk logical fallacies, and different acronyms that were used throughout this course such as DAT, TPS, PIE, etc. These are all things that we can use to help us with the writing process with the research paper. We also had write an empathy letter to help build our memoir, write a Sympathy letter to help structure/build our research paper, and Write a counter facial to show different ways of writing to integrate into our paper to help strengthen our final project.
Empathy Letter… Dear Dad, It’s me Dom, It’s something I’ve been meaning to get off my chest all these years. First off I want to say I forgive you. I also want to tell you I’m sorry. I came into your life unexpectedly and abrupt changing your life forever. I robbed you and mom of your childhood making you instantly become adults. For mom it was easier for her to adapt I grew inside her and lived with her so our bond was better she instantly loved me and you grew to love me. Mom always said you were wild growing up you started drinking and partying at a young age, your household wasn’t the most structured so you became a product of your environment. You dropped out of school in the eighth grade really having no direction in which way to go in life. You found a passion for cooking and are actually really awesome at it, It’s one of the things I admire most about to you. I just want you to know I don’t hate and I forgive you because as I struggled to find myself and know my worth all these years, I realize you never knew yours. Sympathy Letter… Dear Girls, I just want you to know I love each and every one of you. If you haven’t heard these things lately regardless of age, race, and gender identity. I want you to know you are smart and beautiful in your own way. Be happy with yourself love who you are and embrace being you. Live out every dream imagined and know your worth as long as you know that you will always be on top. Counter facial What if when I ...Looked up at my dad an saw him staggering up the stairs I would’ve just grabbed by little brother Chris quickly before he made it to the steps and began singing the theme song to curious George to him that’s his favorite movie… I would smile at Chris make us a snack grab his rabbit and a cup of tea and prepare to watch his favorite movie. My mom could’ve just went upstairs because she noticed my father was drunk and help him lay down and get conformable to sleep it off and prepare for the next day. Me and my father would have never fought, I would have never been arrested and the whole story would’ve changed just like that.
