Numero Teno?

During this semester I have learned so much, mostly about my papersa. I have learned how a proper paper is constructed. It takes more thought and it takes more time than I have been giving any of papers in the class. I think one of the funniest things I learned is taking our longer sentences and cutting them shorter. I learned what types of things a more professional paper should look like and the things it should contain. In high school and middle school I was graded more so on content, what I wrote not really how I wrote. So I believe that through my past teachers not criticing my papers I never knew the right way to write a paper. I believe that now I know what to include in my papers and what to look for I can continue to improve on my papers. I hope that in the future I can get into more classes like this one that will help me and allow me to learn even more.

To help create some ideas as to what I would like to include in my paper here are some questions I'm going to try and answer.

Why do people join the Dark knight fan sites?

What things do the Dark knight fan site accomplish?

How does the Dark knight fan site create a community?

Some research terms would be.

Dark knight fan sites, internet fan sites, Internet communities.

Prospectus

The title to my paper is Technology, Community, and Movies. My thesis is Technology allows communities to be made through movies, and film. My research plan includes first jotting all the things about fan sites, certain films, and everything I already know about them. I plan on making a trip to the library and researching when communities first develop because of movies. I also plan on researching the first types of communities through film in history. I plan on using internet sources as well as encyclopedias, and other books; also I would like to include quotes, and or discussion from real people who join these communities to see the why and for better understanding.
The reason for using these sources would be to further explain how a community evolves from a particular movie. What type of community forms from film? My argument would be that film creates communities through technology with the use of computers and fan websites. I plan on developing my research argument by looking at a particular movie and looking at the fan websites associated with them.

Confesions of a Txt-aholic

Technology and phones have come along way. Technology has made it so much easier to communicate to friends and family through the use of our cell phones. I am a txt-aholic. I text constantly, I have unlimited texts and use them to my advantage. I barely even talk on my phone at all. My text messages started over almost two weeks ago and so far I’ve used over 2000 texts. This technology has allowed me to do things in communication that I normally wouldn’t be able to do with actually talking to someone on the phone. Texting allows me to communicate and talk to multiple people at one time. Texting to me is more convient, because I have limited service. It takes more service to make a call then to send a text so now I don’t have to worry about drop calls, because all my texts will go through. I like to text because it allows me to express my self better because I don’t have to have that direct conversation. It’s easier for me to be funnier, cleverer, because I can actually think about what I’m going say before I send that next text. I’m not sure how my obsession of wanting to text all the time affects my relationship between my friends and me on their end. They never told me rather they would prefer actually talk to me or not. To me I think it makes our relationships stronger, because we’re not having that physical conversation because they’re most likely to express themselves more with me.
Texting does have its disadvantages. There have been times when arguments have been created because of the lack of emotion. Many people have misread a text sent from me and interpreted it in their own way, when actually that’s not the tone I intended it to be. Texting also prolong a conversation as well. If you call a person on the phone to ask there option on something what would normally be a 5 min conversation could take much longer than it needs to be. With texts you have to wait on a response and sometimes that may take a long time, so you have to wait on them before you can respond back. Sometimes it interferes with relationships among your friends because it becomes easier to mix text and text the wrong person.
Texting is a great advancement in technology. I love to text although it has its advantages and disadvantages. As a txt-aholic I understand how the use of technology can affect how we communicate with one another. Texting is the new form of communication and it’s the one I prefer.

Cover Letter

Over the coarse of this semester I have learned so much. I've written two papers one was a analyzing paper and the other was a response. While writing these papers I was taught many elements that would help me write my papers. The single thing I learned in this class would have to be my weak points. While in high school I really thought that my papers were really good. Perhaps they were on the high school level but I would find out where I would need improvements for my papers to be on the college level. I learned that I used commas in the wrong ways in my papers. By reading the handbook that I was told to buy, I learned about where to use commas and where they weren't neccasary. The one thing that I want to continue learning would be the editing process. I learned many techniques that helps us in the process of writing our papers that I find very helpful. These techniques have so far aloud me to take what I considered an ok paper and make it a great paper. These techniques allow me to expand and grow from that high school level to a college level.
