Spring Break

Stacey's spring break was very relaxing, she went home and spent a lot of time with her boyfriend Dan, who is a senior in high school. Stacey slept in until one almost everyday and went out at night. She also saw her dad who she hadn't seen since Christmas because he lives so far away. She thought it was a lot of fun and it was nice to finally see him again. She also got the opportunity to see her little sister Dana play in her state basketball tournament, it was pretty exciting although they didn't place. Towards the end of her break she got really sad, because she got so comfortable at home again and she didn't want to have to say goodbye to her family, friends, and boyfriend. She also didn't want to start thinking about school again and she didn't want to wake up early anymore.

After the independent work day I still don't feel comfortable with any topics. I want and interesting topic that I will enjoy researching and writing about. I am also looking for topics that aren't so common today so I can learn about more things. I find it difficult to pick a topic because I want to be sure that there will be enough resources available for me to write the paper since it has to be long. Over the break I am going to research topics that I am interested in and hopefully get a start on my draft.

A Modest Proposal

This was a very interesting paper. I have never read anything like it before. At first I didn't really understand what was going on, probably because I would never think of someone writing about this. The writing style was difficult for me to understand. But once I got further into the paper I realized that I was reading it correctly. The problem talked about in the paper is the problem of the poor being aburden to parents and the country. The author talked about the poor suffering from disease and hunger giving the solution of either selling their infants for food are at the age of six putting the children to work. He talked about how infants were good to eat and how selling them would eliminate the population problem of a Kingdom in Ireland. This paper really shocked me.
