English 102..... the new start of a new semester. I have enjoyed English 101 which was the beginning for Rhetoric Arguments. Now starting English 102 with Bevill, I am pleased that I have selected The Inquiry to the Understandings of The Apocalypse. As I am prepared to write about this subject, research, and findings, English composition is necessary for my major.
The Apocalypse, so far what I know about it briefly is that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. I want to say that this is just theoretical statement, but there are many reasons to support the possible effects that cause to lead up to this catastrophic event. For my first research essay which is the I-Search, we are required to select up to five possible reasons that lead up to an Apocalyptic event. I am very excited to find out more about what can cause this to occur. Although this paper takes much research and dedication, I am shooting for an A+ on this first paper. We will see how everything goes and will keep updates on how the paper is going. So far I have written the first couple of parts of this paper: The What I know, The What I Want to know, and The presentation for my possible reasons.
Overall that was just my introduction, the central meat of this blog is to describe the summary of one of the Required Reading Texts that we will go over in class. The selected readings are to enhance our understandings of the Apocalyptic events. Each of the authors have a perspective on how the world might end in doom. The one book that interests me the most is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The story describes about that an Apocalyptic event had occurred leaving a father and his young son surviving. They travel long distances to the South Coast to find any means of survival. At the end the father dies of illness leaving the son behind. Eventually the son finds another surviving family in the South Coast and life of humanity begins once again.
I am excited to see how this class will proceed on, I am enjoying Mr. Bevill teaching and sharing similar interests. I look forward to a wonderful semester.
