In-class Writing (September 3, 2009)

1) Although it might sound tedious at first, I do believe rereading a passage will help a reader understand the text more, and also will help with remembering it as they continue reading. So many times people just skim the text to be done with it, but if they only take a few more minutes to slow their reading and to read it twice they will grasp the concept of the text more successfully. Along with this, it can equally enhance someone's comprehension of a text by writing notes alongside the passage. Doing this allows the reader to keep what they just read in mind and if they forget they can easily get the basic idea of the passage by reading their notes.

2) My dorm room says that I am very organized, resourceful, creative, unique, and colorful. Although I know this because I am the one who chose these items, I do not know if a stranger could tell the exact same thing from looking at my room. They could easily tell I am organized from my assortment of office products, and my creativity would be displayed with my unique lamp, thrown pottery, and magazine mirror but resourceful I’m not sure if they would grasp that right away.

3) I do not think I would like to participate in a study that would tell the outcome of my marriage. I think that would discourage me from being happy with my significant other if the outcome was divorce, and I would rather enjoy the connection that was there while it is so strong. I do not believe that a study can be so accurate because many factors come into play. If I was wanting to participate in the study I would convince my significant other to go by saying that it would be a bonding experience, and we know we are going to be together forever so why not help a research lab.
