2 paragraph summary on research and writing

The best way to tackle your research is to write about something that you are most interested in . A reason to why you would want to do that is because you will have more things to write about and you won't worry about how many pages your teacher wants you to write. Your thesis statement should grab your reader's attention whenever you're writing a research. One way to get information is by including yourself as a source using your own life experiences. Make sure that your writing is suitable for all ages.
Always make sure that the information is primary and not secondary. This helps you get closer to the topic you are researching. You need " accurately and adequately cited footnotes, end-notes or in text notes using a recognized citation style". The argument that you write and evidence should be clear and logical. Also to make an argument for your research make sure your questions are very clear. However, before you start a research do a lot of reading, thinking and speak with your teacher.

For questions I can't really think because they have been answered, but I will ask them anyway..
  1. What are some ways that I can research my topic?
  2. Why should I include a thesis statement in my research?
  3. How can I find the perfect topic, if I'm interested in more than one thing?
  4. Will the grade I get on my research affect my overall grade?
  5. How do I properly cite text notes?
  6. What is the limit of pages to have?
  7. What is the format for a research paper to be in?

My Movie Review "Precious"

I went to see the movie "Precious" this friday, which is about an illiterate teen who enters an alternative program ."Precious" is based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, it takes place in Harlem, New York, of a 16 year old girl named Claireece “Precious” Jones. "Precious" is raped by her father at the age of three, gives birth to his baby at twelve and she names her baby girl Mongo. She is faced with changing school when her school finds out that she is pregnant again. Her school told her about an alternative school called the "each one, teach one", so that's where she ends up going. "Precious" life changes at this point in the movie.

She starts to write out her problems she is dealing with in her journal , when her teacher asks the class to write what on their minds. Writing out her problems in her journal, and her Ms. Rain responding back to her makes her understand what was being done to her by her father and mother (Monique) was wrong. From this point "Precious" puts up a fight and not allows her mother to deprive her from an education, and manipulate her. When "Precious" mother realizes that she no longer has power over her, she tries in every way to show the social worker (Mariah Carey) she is doing her best for "Precious".

By the ending of the movie "Precious" works hard and becomes intelligent than she ever was. Have her last baby boy Abdul and love and protects him in a way, which she never had. She moves out of her mother's place and finds a place of her own. From the ending of the movie she continues towards her destiny.

Something that you don't know about me

One thing that people don't know about me is that I like to be photographed and take Pictures. It all comes together with me desiring to be a "super model", it started when I was thirteen years old. Many people have and still are telling me that I have a body structure and the beauty of a model. By many people telling me that I enrolled and graduated from basic and advance classes at John Robert Powers Modeling & Acting school, so yes I have done a few acting. Since I have completed those classes I am now working on my portfolio. Even though I may not come to school all dressed up like a model, I am extremely into fashion.
