Reflection to Annotated Bibliography


Reflection on Psychopaths (research paper)

“How do we do an Annotated Bibliography?” that was my first thought when my professor Matyakubova told us to do one. It was simpler than what I thought it would be. During my first article I had difficulties on how to summarize an entire article of 20+ pages into four sentences, will I re- read the articles a found some information that was reliable for my research that I didn’t pay attention at first. Most of the students when in come to use resources in an essay or research paper we just go straight to the point. To find a quote or two without even readying the entire source.

At first it was hard to choose between my sources. Most of them were peer reviewed articles which meant that they were long and complicated to summarize and analyze. Even thought they were hard I challenge myself and I choose three peer reviewed articles and did my best at summarizing them. The analysis was rather simple, to explain what part of the article, news, chart, I use was easy and to state how I use it in my research was easily done. Overall learning how to do an annotated bibliography was fun just the idea of learning new content is something I like.

Reflection to Final Version of Research Paper

Reflection on Smile of Terror             While writing my research paper, I realize that most of the time I use present and past tense in one sentence. I often attend the writing center for this issue. The use of quotes an explaining was not a trouble for me; the library sections help me a lot when I look for articles.  The peer review helps me a lot when It came to reduce extra words. For example, my introduction was one and half page long, but with the help of Nicolas a peer, I was able to omit unnecessary details. Also, he helped me introduce a very hard point between to paragraphs. Overall the research when in the right way I was able to add more emotion and logic into it. I wanted to add more illustrations, but I was unable to find a specific spot where to add them.             In my personal view, the research itself have all needed for a good grade, but th...

Journal Entry #9

My Life My Choice  “Don’t let anyone affect the way you think” those were the word my mom told me when I followed my friends into the wrong path of cutting class. After a few days of though I finally realize how important those words were. To not let yourself become a victim of peer pressure, or to let other influence in your ideologies. After readying some experiments done by the common people I realize how the idea of peer pressure sure was a problem. For example, in the articles student who knew were right in the decision they made, decided to choose the wrong answer to avoid an uncomfortable moment. Also in the video were a man is in the elevator following the other people around him, he follows without questioning.  In the video that we saw during the English101 -53 we see peer pressure play a big role in weather someone makes de right or wrong decision. In fact, it does make a big difference in a person mind, if this type of pressure is put into a big scale it ...

Journal Entry #10

Pay to Live, and Sell to Eat   Human trafficking has been a big and controversial topic. People that donate organs illegally or being force to work as sexual slaves is something that is not tolerated. In my English course we had some reading in were human trafficking was discus. Facts about it were brought up, and most of the people who suffer for human trafficking come from the low-income families and countries. Is an option that people decide to take to gain some money or something they are force to work because they fear of the consequences. Is an easy way for people to found donors when they need it, even though is illegal there are not a lot of law against it when we compare it with war against drugs.             Human trafficking sure is a big problem but some benefits can be found on it. For example, finding donors to save someone’s life, but when it comes to force people to work as sex slaves then it became...
