Final Blog

I am actually glad this essay thing is almost finished! I didn't mind the learning grammar and punctuation, it is actually something I will find useful in my future.  As for the essays they were a little to close together for me to enjoy.  I don't think I will ever have any need for a "proper essay with a thesis".  I worked really hard on my essays, fine tuning them.  I also worked very hard on the peer reviews, I wanted to help my classmates as much as possible.  I did enjoy the discussions and blogs because we were free to say what we felt instead of forced into like in the structured essays.   The essays did help me work sentences together better though. As for this semester, I only took this English course so it did all go well for me.  For my next semester I am choosing to do a math course and a Medical Administration for unlicensed personnel which I am very excited for.  I am ready to learn math again!  It's funny how I can feel more maturity in my school work more than I ever did in High School.  I am more willing and more anxious, and more concerned with my school work.  My grades are extremely important to me now because I care so much more than I did back in school and all the High School drama  isn't there to effect my work. :)

As for my future, I would like to continue going to school while working a full time job.  I am hoping to someday own my own home.  In the long future when I am done or close to done with school I would like to marry my long time boyfriend, Roy and start a family with him.  I have only one cat now but would like to eventually get him a friend and a dog someday.  One dream that I have always had is to get a farm house and rescue all the animals who don't have homes, or live in bad homes.  I am animal lover and would love to supply animals with love and proper care.  I am hoping to someday be well off financially so I am able to enjoy my family life without struggling.  I have no plans to move out of Minnesota.  I want to be close to my family and Roys family.  It was nice to meet all my fellow classmates and teacher. I wish you all the best :)

Modest Proposal

Wow, I found myself going blah, blah blah and what is he talking about in the Modest Proposal!  Initially I thought Jonathon Swift, writer of Modest Proposal, started talking out about poor women selling themselves to get money with all the kids around them needing help because they were poor.  Then as I read down a little further with all the babbeling, he made it sound like he was going to fry up children and eat them. Swift than switches to talking about selling off the kids of these women.  By this time I was totally lost on what he was trying to propose to us, or have us even to focus on. I still don't understand what this entire article is even trying to focus on.  I didn't see anything in the begining of the article about what "Kingdom" he was talking about until you read down a few paragraphs then he mentions the "Kingdom of Ireland".  When you read more towards the bottom it sounds like you are reading a William Shakespeare novel!  Throughout the whole thing he uses commas in between complete sentences, there are spelling errors (publick), and there is so many larger words to make you really lose focus. 

I suppose one proposal would be the drug testing on welfare recipeants as in Amber Mehrkens topic for her essay.  Another one would be housing shortage for the homeless and rehabilitation programs for the homeless to get them back on track.  There is always the medical issues of people needing healthcare which our goverment deals with daily trying to propose solutions. 

It just seems to me that there is proposals to be made on just about everything, it just depends on how far out of reach some of the soultions would actually be.
