Thanks Mr.Peters this helps. Even though i should already know this from class.

Brandon Root said...

I am sure Mr. Peters went over all this stuff in class today. I felt kinda lost and still wasn't sure what the essay was supposed to address. At least I can figure out my direction now

Eric Manzo said...

This actually helps a lot now I can make a outline for tomorrows rough draft. It narrows it down a lot. Thanks Peters much appreciated.

Barry W. said...

Here is a really good article about Culture of Poverty, if your writing about culture changes in your essay it could help a lot.

I have often said that the only thing more complex than a person is people. That is why society is infinitely complex, because not only are there a lot of people but the population, and consequently culture, is always changing.

Good website Kirsten. Thats what makes culture and people so unique because they are ever changing.

JLYNN said...

This stuff was great and I used it all for my paper. However my "discovery draft" did not help. I never use my rough draft. I always BS one just to turn in and then start completely over for my final draft
