nineteen eighty-four

“If you cannot write well, you cannot think well, and if you cannot think well, others will do you thinking for you.” –George Orwell. That is the quote written above my English 110 syllabus. One of the first days of this class our instructor, engaged in communicating about this quote, and this man. After explaining the quote, she asked the audience, something in the neighborhood of what did this man write? A few seconds after the final words spilled out of her mouth, one of my peers in the back answered with, “Animal Farm.” The name George Orwell sounded so horribly familiar to me, and once “Animal Farm” left the air and the instructor said “What else”. I held the key that unlocked Pandora’s Box. My hand leaped forward and, then “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, flew from my lips and hung in the. Now not too sure on the answer I gazed in to her eyes hoping not to be embarrassed by failure. A probably noticeable, sigh of relief sprang fourth once conformation of my answer occurred.
Though I recognized the book’s existence, ignorance surrounded all of my perception of its content. So soon after this event took place, of course inquiring of the content, had been pure Jake. Like all humans in today’s society the internet snapped into my mind when research crossed the brain. After the constant drilling of information that repeated on just about every webpage related to this book I knew the option of not reading this book, left the table. Since I am a college kid I chose to approach the situation the free way. The ICC library (which is wonderful by the way) being my first, and only stop in obtaining this wonderful piece of literature, I’m sure is not a shock to anyone.
I am not finished with the book yet, but I am close. I am far enough in the book to inform other’s to the same clichés that informed me, it is amazing. I believe the book to be around 60 years old, and yet readers of the book can still relate to it, and enjoy it just as our fathers, and grandfathers had. Failure to read this book is foolish.

run-ons

“Jake you can’t form sentences this way”. Is what my girlfriend told me as she saw the massive amount of run-on sentences in my Auto ethnography. “Well why not” came out of my stunned face. “You’re trying to force too many independent clauses together under too few periods”. She said and as she said it I knew she was right. So because of this conversation the overjoyed Jacob Martin found a way to improve his writing. YAY!! I used the computer machine to look up the best way to solve this agonizing problem. My first lesion brought me to feel mighty ignorant. Use a period to split the smooched clauses, and knowing when to end a sentence is very important. That was the answer I got it did not satisfy me enough so I dug a little deeper into this conundrum. Getting the definition really help me to better understanding the problem. When a sentence has too many ideas and runs on too long, it is called a run-on sentence. So what makes an idea is where my research went. Well a subject and a verb of course duh. The information did not meet what I was looking for. I then asked myself then if I know all of these things what makes my sentences run on. Then like a ton of bricks it hit me, my adjectives. The wonderful words I use to describe answered the question. So there lay the solution. All I have to do is watch where I put my describing words. In researching this I hope that this problem comes to a halt.

Capitalism v.s socialism

To understand why I think capitalism is better than socialism we must first define each of them. Socialism: a theory or system of social organization, that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of production, distribution of capital, land, etc, in the community as a whole(everything owned by the government) , or in the Marxist theory : The stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivism principles. And capitalism: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market. Examples of countries ran by socialism are China, Cuba, the former, Soviet Union, and Venezuela. Examples of countries ran by capitalism, the home team of course. Ireland and Australia actually beat us out as more economically free countries from my research. To first get to my point of why capitalism is better, ask yourself witch of the countries I listed would you like to visit, or even live in, and under what category do they fall under. Economically all these countries are and were horrible, except parts of China that are economically freer than, even the U.S. With the economy out of the of all the countries I listed under the socialist category, they ether had, concentration camps (soviet union Josef Stalin), Citizens were mass murdered (China Mao). Where and when has thing like that every happend, in the U.S, Ireland, or Australia. though i know capitalism is breeding ground for greed, which economic stucture is'nt.

Adressing the problem is the first step to advancement.

I think I need major improvement in my writing. I don’t feel as though I explain thoroughly enough what I want to explain. This is too big of a problem to leave unaddressed. By showing where and how I made mistakes I hope it will improve this area of writing for me. The reason I want to explain why these thing hurt my writing, it to improve my writing.
The hardest problem to approve one’s writing, I think is the one I previously stated. Here is what I found wrong with my assignments so far this semester. As I look back on my first week’s blog, I feel as though I did not state everything I thought clearly or effectively. I had an astronomical thought on the topic of health care reform but, when I started writing the thoughts, I saw that my thought did not appear as though they did in the head. Ultimately this made my writing less informative on what my thought where on this subject. This problem also affected my ability to write the assessment. The fury of thought that raced through my mind as I saw the topic were great, but they we not organized. As I tried to organize my thought I on this subject it slowed my writing down greatly, when I was done I realized I had roughly a half a page done, it’s sad really. If I could change one thing right now about my writing it would be explaining and organizing my thought clearer and, and more efficiently. Over all I do believe this blog strongly helped my writing and, is a turning point for the advancement of my ability to express my thoughts clearer.
