Exercise 5.1

I liked this exercise becasuse it made me see how much i was writing from just my sources and not enough of my own opinion. When you actually read your work you can see what you need to add or take out, but when your writing it you just keep going and dont realize what your writing and if it belongs or not.

Exercise 4.3

Beginning/Lead 1
There are many issues with people today concerning Capital punishment. There are two sides of Capital Punishment you are either for or against. My paper will be telling you the history of Capital Punishment, where it started and why it started. I will also be telling you why i am against Capital Punishment and why it is inhumane. It will look at what happened in the past and what is happening today.


Beginning/Lead 2
One of many concerns when it comes to the death penalty is if he or she is guilty or innocent. There have been cases where a man was on death row and he was innocent. Sometimes there is not enought witnesses or enough information so prove someones innocence. Thats another reason why alot of people are against the death penalty.


Beginning/Lead 3
Capital Punishment is completely inhumane. People are trying to play Gods part and we cannot do that. We do not have the power on who should live and who should die. That is murder, and we are committing our own crimes, where is the justice in that?

Time Management

Im pretty much done with my paper i started it when we first started talking about the paper in class. I try to start in advance because i do not like to be pressured and i like to have time just in case i run short on information i have time to look more up and add to my paper. I have a about a page to and im kind of stuck but i know i have the time to find other information and finish it. I started on it early because im not very good with papers so i want to take my time and make sure i did a good job and not rush it like i ususally do with everyother paper.

A Topical Outline

Introduction

Body Paragraph

Body Paragraphy
II. Talking about why it is wrong, and how we need to ablolish it.

Will add more later having thinking problems on what is next in my paper

Audience

My audience is the college students to let them know about Capital Punishment and what it is and why we use it. To let them know why it is wrong and inhumane, it is not up to us on who lives and who dies. To let them know we cant play the role of God so why do we try.

Personal vs. more third person

My paper is mostly research on the topic giving the reader knowledge on what the topic is about. There is a portion in the paper that is the history on the topic, when and where it started. I do have my opinon in the paper its just not in one section. I cant really put personal stories in there because i dont know anyone who has recieved the death penalty.

In Class Self-assessment

1. Right now i have about 5 internet sources and 3 book sources which seems to be doing me a lot of good with my paper.

2. With all of my sources i have about 5 to 6 pages with my paper, my sources are pretty long and have a lot of information in them.

3. I could answer about any question that has to do with my paper, i have done a lot of reseach and i feel very prepared with what i know.

4. I would say that i am ready to write considering my paper is done, i am just revising it for any errors i have made and just adding a few more details. I have about a page to go so it is going pretty well.
