Dear Professor Fornes:

Writing papers, and essays has always been a pain for me. I never can seem to find the right words to draw the readers attention.

Being in English 101 for a second time, I have learned much more this semester. I have actually learned many techniques on how to go about writing a paper. I've learned stuff about sentances, paragraphs, and essays, that i thought i had already knew. The most important thing I've learned so far in this class, would be

The article I chose to do my paper on is, the one written by Isreal Butler,entitled "Video Games: The Answer to Adolescent Aggression." I chose this particular article because I totally agree. I do say that violent games can play a small role in the influence of teen violnce, but not quite. Like Butler said, some of the violence scenes on some of these games are just unrealistic. Most of the time, kids/teens imitate what they see or hear on television, or just what they see going on around them. I can definitley relate to the "Grand Theft Auto," game. We have that particular game (all of them), and I enjoy them, and of course I find them so unreal. Kinda like what Butler said about the innocent person getting multilated by a chainsaw, then 10 seconds later brought back to life, everyone should have enough common sense to know that is so fake. But on the other hand,if you know that your kid/teen gets influenced by games like this, the best thing to do is..not buy it.

I chose to do the article entitled,""The Facebook Addiction Spreads,”written by Angela Adair Fowler. The points Angela were focusing on were on true. I can truly admit that facebook, at one time, had become an addiction to me. I would stay on it, for hours at a time,basically doing nothing. Its the same thing over and over. Every time, I log in to do homework, something just pulls me to www.facebook.com, and that's where I went. I would use all my freetime on facebook instead of in my school books, and ireceived the results. I've learned my lesson on the results that the long hours facebook time can give. I still be on facebook, but not so much.
