It seems that at this point in time rough drafts are becoming less and less of a staple feature in society. People no longer feel the need to collect their thoughts and ponder on the point their trying to make. Instead, most people want to print that final paper as fast as they possibly can, just to get it over with. The common mentality is that the idea or opinion being presented comes second to how fast you can blurt it out. This is probably do to the fact that without a rough draft there is no need to worry over whether or not your point is correct, instead one can focus on defending the paper when it is challenged by criticism. However, I believe that without a rough draft the importance of the idea within the paper is forgotten and lost within the haste of the presentation. In the end, if you don’t take the time to think, then your own opinion won’t be one hundred percent of your own beliefs. …show more content…
More so I mean the things people say and how they express their opinion. I see it everywhere; people not preparing their thoughts before they proclaim it as their own personal opinion. But the problem with this is that when someone forgets to think about what they say (or write a rough draft in their head) they often just follow the opinion of the last person they heard. I, like the rest of us, have had first hand experience in stating my thoughts or ideas without thinking about the issue for myself or wondering if the I agree completely with what I just said. Recently, about a month ago, I caught myself doing just
Marius says, “If possible, read your rough draft just before you go to sleep. Many psychological tests have shown that our minds organize and create while we sleep if we pack them full before bedtime.” (paragraph 5) I had never heard of these studies before reading this article, but it definitely makes sense and I plan to give it a try on my next writing assignment. On the subject of writing rough drafts though, my previous teachers have almost all drilled it into my head that you must write at least two to three rough drafts. If you do not write at least one rough draft and then rewrite it as a final draft, but you only write one draft period, then in a sense, you are just turning in what should be the rough draft. Then you end up with a grade on the paper that is just that, rough.
From the start of reading “Shitty first drafts” I have concluded that even the best writers, write horrible drafts first. In the passage it even says when you start off with a shitty first draft, this is how they end up with good second grafts, and terrific third drafts. This shows that a lot of effort goes into writing an essay. You have to start from somewhere, put what comes to your mind immediately on paper. It suprises me that even professional writers struggle with writing rough drafts. The author talks about when you write a rough draft, you have to take bits and pieces of the essay out.
Reading Lamott’s and Elbow’s articles, you find many similarities that can be used to support the other writer’s point of view. However, there are also differences that both authors seem to disagree on. Both articles explain the importance of a rough draft. The rough draft is the foundation for all writer’s creativity. It is like a toddler doing art for the first time. They get a piece of paper, splash a little paint here and there, glue some feathers down, toss an insane amount of glitter on it, and done! It’s chaotic as a whole and does not really make sense. But, if you look closely certain areas of the piece really look beautiful on it’s own. Creativity does not always have to be perfect the first attempt and that is what Lamott and Elbow are trying to tell us.
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
The 5-2 is typical for high school level and is somewhat widely used at the collegiate level. It consists of two defensive tackles and two defensive ends and a nose guard. It is mostly used as run defense. Nevertheless, this defense can be just as successful against a pass with two or three linebackers and five pass rushers.
On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed
The CFL has made a great move partnering with one of the giant Daily Fantasy Sport’s provider, or DFS in short, Draftkings. The move is one that will not only bring viewers and sponsorship deals around the league but will allow the likes of you and me to be more heavily involved in the game. I grew up only an hour away from Regina Saskatchewan. This is where the Saskatchewan Roughriders call home. I grew up cheering on the likes of Kerry Joseph, Don Narcisse, Kent Austin and many other CFL greats in the green and white. The last three years I have enjoyed playing DFS on Fanduel and Draftkings almost on a daily basis. I have watched countless hours of College Football, NFL, PGA golf and other sports that I never had an interest before DFS. I have learned strategies that help me select games to choose players from and what strategies to use for making good lineups. I have learned this listening to others in the industry, studying other lineups as well as doing my own research. So where am I going with all of this, you might think you have an edge because you are familiar with the game and players. I tend to disagree. I have seen
America Should Bring Back the Draft: Rough Draft The U.S. signed the Selective Service Act into law in 1917, which required all men aged 21-35 to register for the draft and join the military if needed (later changed to 18-35). The draft, also called conscription, was used to quickly build the military in times of need. The first draft in the U.S. was used during WWI.
It is not difficult to figure out what the liberal arts are; all it took was a simple google search and the definition was brought up instantly. Liberal arts are academic subjects such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences as distinct from professional and technical subjects. I am not majoring in any of these subjects and I hardly have any classes such as these in my schedule so I decided I needed to look up definitions that actually pertain to me. The definition of a liberal arts college was just as easy to find as the last one. A liberal arts college is a college with an emphasis on undergraduate study in the liberal arts and sciences. A liberal arts college aims to impart a broad general knowledge and
Not everyone thinks the same way as you, so it can be helpful to have a fresh set of eyes on a paper that you have just started to write or a paper you are struggling to write. The first draft of a paper is not always the best, but working with others can make it easier. Lamott is right when she says rough drafts are difficult, but I don’t agree when she says rough drafts should be written independently.
When I first heard of liberal arts schools, I thought of institutions like Julliard where students who want to study the arts attend. I pictured students painting on canvas, dancers leaping across stage, and musicians composing beautiful music. Since beginning my college visitations, I have come to realize that is far from what you will see at liberal arts colleges such as Loras. A liberal arts education not only touches on the arts but also the areas of history, science, math, language, and several more. Throughout my first thirteen years of schooling, I have taken classes covering many different subjects. Liberal arts schools continue to encourage one to learn about topics in various areas of study in order to obtain a more rounded education.
Reporter stated they meet mom (Nia) was she was in Wal-Mart trying to steal when she was pregnant a few months ago. Reporter stated she paid for mom’s items. Report stated mom took things out her panties like toothpaste and sexual cream. She did not have anything for the kids. Reporter went to mom’s home on 9/2/17 to give the family some groceries. That was also the last time they saw the family. The boyfriend/husband (Eric) tried to push the reporter out the door. He does not like for the reporter to come over. He almost stepped on the baby while she was sitting in her car seat in the process. He pulled mom’s wig off in front of the reporter and the baby. Reporter did not see the other 2 children. Mom called the reporter
For my last and final paper for this semester I wanted it to be good. I wanted it to be better than all my papers I have done this whole semester. So for that to happen, I have to start writing my rough draft. When I had gotten my rough draft done, I went to Kresge to have Sarah read my paper; to help me look for mistakes I mad. After we fixed the ones we saw I thought it sounded pretty good. I’m not going to lie, but I was excited to turn it in the next day.
Unfortunately, in the past years, roughhousing has got a bad view on it. Parents are concerned about safety, so they are limiting the amount of rough play their kids get. Nowadays, adults are concerned about children getting hurt, and then they are held liable for that. In the video Importance of Roughhousing Brett McKay highlights a few benefits as to why roughhousing is good for kids. First off, it “requires children to learn how to react and cope with sudden changes.”
In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
