Journal #6

I am supposed to write a journal but I don't know what to write. Maybe I should write about what happened last week, but nothing happened, it just same as any other week. Should i write a respond to a news paper article that I have read, but I did not read any newspaper last week. What should I write? Ms Weber said I get to choose any topic for the journal. Maybe I should write the process of finding a topic for my journal which ends up with none. I have no idea and that is a problem with me, I am too lazy to find an idea for a journal and I wrote this a few minute before class. This is too short I hope Ms Weber will accept it as a journal.

Student, alumni keep the 'home' in the Homecoming, Oct 16

It is about what the student should do to make this homecoming a great one although it is not a celebration for student. The writer persuades the student to join and enjoy the celebration and be nice to the alumni. The writer did that by writing that the student will someday become alumni and return to Ames and make the reader think that do we want our homecoming to be a bad memory because of the current student. The writer method was a success because he/she relates the story to the readers. It made the readers think and acted accordingly to avoid what the writer just wrote in the article to happen to them

Grooving on 'Guitar Hero' by Tom Hummer, Oct 16

The article is about the writer disagreement from a statement that playing video game called 'Guitar Hero' which is a guitar simulation game that played using a guitar shape controller, a detract people from playing the real instrument. The writer backs his opinion with a strong argument, he wrote that if someone play 'Gran Turismo' a race car simulation why the person don’t just race real car instead. He also wrote that the playing 'guitar hero' or other similar games were similar like playing the actual instrument and lot of people started to play the actual instrument after playing the game. The writer did a good job because he back up his opinion with a good example and statistic to prove his point.
