Reflection of Final Research Paper

            I really needed to polish up my work for the final paper, trying to connect each paragraph with each other so that the essay could make sense. Throughout this whole essay I have gained more knowledge on how to create a concrete argument with information to back up my argument. When finalizing the research, I began to realize what I really wanted to talk about, since the experience I had with the interview. It gave me more of a reason to believe that my research paper might have some effect on readers and the audience. Not only that, but because of the recent attacks that have passed when writing the essay, I realized that this is a very important topic to talk about.

            I had some help from my tutor, who has helped me create great essays throughout this semester. She gave me more information that could create a stronger stance. Not only that, she helped me get all the requirements into the essay, so that I could officially finish it. This essay gave me a lot of knowledge to the problem that has been around America for a long time. I feel as if I got to understand better the problem that many people talk about but do not fully understand how to fix.

Draft #1 of Research Paper

The American Dream: The Change Needed in Gun Control Laws Studies show that an estimated 55 million Americans own guns (USA Today). Guns are mainly used for protection, but are often debated whether if that is a fact. Recently, America has faced an attack in Las Vegas which is stated to be the biggest mass shooting in American history. As noted, there are other mass shootings that took place in American history, which sparked the on-going question: Should there be more gun control laws? Although this question has been debated for many years, it is only brought up when these mass shootings happens. In a daily basis, there are multiple shootings that occur throughout the United States, yet the media and politicians do not discuss about this issue frequently. This is an important topic that needs to be discussed to prevent more from happening, although there are multiple sides. Many suggest that although states create laws that create more gun control, there is no change in the crime r...

Journal Entry #6

                 The film Front of the Class demonstrated the lifestyle of a teacher who suffers from Tourette’s syndrome, which is viewed very strictly in America’s society and is very misunderstood, and through that viewpoint they argue that there is more to being a teacher than just school work. It talks about what an educator is, which is a teacher, but who mentors someone through emotional points. This can be seen when Brad helps a child who could not read well, giving his point of view on how reading is for himself, and teaching him through a bond they made. Teachers nowadays have been trying to do this as well, trying to find ways to help students who have different problems that most people have, and focusing to educate those students. This film brings a more brighter side to what teachers can do, and how they could affect the lives of students who go to school for education.          ...

Journal Entry #10

             When reading back Still Separate by Jonothan Kozol, I realized how much segregation still lives inside the United States. Although this is not something that has been never talked about, segregated schools have been known to be an ongoing situation that society has faced throughout many generations. I was mainly surprised with the schools that was mentioned that where in New York City, which is known to be very diverse. It mentioned the school Martin Luther King Jr. school downtown. Although this school is in a pretty safe area and has the name of the man who advocated for equality of races, many parents are still scared to have their kids sent into that school because of its demographic.             Personally, I saw this throughout my high school, being mostly filled with white students. It did not matter to me since I had the thought that this school was a prestigious school, so...
