Out of all three of the papers that I am including in my portfolio the one I believe needs the most editing is my research essay. I am doing my research paper on The Cosby Show, and I was definite I wanted to base it on family, but now I am having second thoughts on it. I believe The Cosby Show is still a good show to base my essay on, but I'm not exactly sure on what my main point is anymore. After talking to Rachel for conference I figured out that social class was also related to this show, but what specifically social class has to do with it, I have to figured that out. I believe that after a lot of more research dealing with this new aspect I will be able to make a clearer thesis, and make my point. The other two need work as well, but the feedback I've been getting back is really helpful. Thank you team for correcting my essays, I really appreciate it. The other essay that also needs more work is the McCandless one because research is needed. The essay on the epigraphs is my strongest essay so far, yet it still needs to be edited. Overall, I know these three essays can be very clear, and strong in content.

Why is it that I seem to be forgetting to post blogs up lately? Is it cause of stress, or problems that I'm having right now? Well I don't like it! It stresses me more that I keep on forgetting only 3 weeks left in school. It's not worth slacking off now. Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Back to Into The Wild.
I have to say this is one of the most recent books I have read fully in a long while. I found this book very interesting, and actually wanted to read it for the most part. It's really hard to try to guess what McCandless would've done if he had survived because he didn't do what was expected of him, he kind of just went and did whatever he felt like doing at that moment.
I believe he would have enjoyed his adventure and then have gone back to the city and get his own place to live. After that we would have gotten a job, and have called his parents. According to Krakauer's evidence McCandless was going to leave Alaska and go back to the city. I think he had enough time to reflect on his actions and figured out he needed to forgive his dad, and continue life. It's hard to tell that's what he was going to do for sure, but according to the evidence that's what seems more likely of him to do.

Since I'm writing my research paper on The Cosby Show, my primary source is going to be a The Cosby Show episode. The episode I am going to use as my primary source come from the first season, it's called "Goodbye Mr. Fish". This episode has to deal with an average American's lifestyle. It shows how an everyday Father deals with work, and his family on an everyday basis. Although Cosby comes home really tired, he still has time for his kids and wife. With this episode I am demonstrating that African American families are just like any regular (White) American family and how there are some misconceptions on African American families. A family always has time for their children and cares about the little things, for example the death of a pet fish. It wasn't always easy for the success of a colored person to be acceptable, yet The Cosby Show is a show of two successful well educated individuals raising a family where they deal with just about any problem any family deals with, and raising their family as best they can. As students in the 21st century we need to be able to identify a family not by color of skin, but on what a family consists of. This show was the first of its kind to be on the air around this time period. No other African American had his own show that dealt with family, nor was it popular. The Cosby Show even know still runs its episodes on Nick at Nite, and it allowed other colored people to be successful on television, acting, and much more.
