end done game over

the weaknesses of the genre is that it is difficult to relate an epiphany by only showing it. it is difficult to truly get the importance and meaning across when you are only supposed to focus on the outside factors. strenghts of the genre is that it is something that is entirely personal, and therefore is something that you know about and should be very well qualified to write about. writing is alot easier, I think, because there is more flexibility in terms to where your ideas can go, and how far you can stretch your imagination. it's not as structured. I probably would not want to write another one.

2.in order to be a good writer, it is necessary to be a good reader. david reiersgord always ridicules my word choice, but i find that my vocabulary is a direct correaltion with things that i have read. i find that the words that i use are the most concise way of describing that one thing adequately, and that is a difficult task. so doing that effectively is the direct represenation of whhhhat and how much i read.

3.i think that i have grown to like poetry a lot more. i still don't really like reading it, but writing it is not that bad. i learned to use concise vocabulary concerning inappropriate language. and i think that poetry is alot better than people would think. writing it is not that bad after all. just kiding. i like writing creatively and the people in the class mad e it alot of fun.

1. I guess one prinicipal that I have that guides my life is "do what you want to do." What is the point of life if you can't be happy? However, it seems that no one is really happy. People do what they want to do, but in the end that isn't enough to support the lifestyle that they want. It is a cruel paradox that people want to pursue their own passions and interests, but can't because they need to do other tasks to support themselves. That's why I think it is important to have hobbies or other activities that people do. I look at my grandfather, who is retired. He gets out of bed around 11 o'clock, and eats some breakfast. He looks at the stock market, sees what has happened, and goes back to bed. He'll get up to put his dogs out, then takes a shower and gets dressed up. He'll watch several hours of TV, and then go back to his computer. That seems to be a rather unfulfilling lifestyle.
2. Well, recently, three Frenchmen were killed in Mauritania. The terrorists that killed them threatened further action and retribution to the Paris-Dakar rally race if they continued it. The organizers of the event cancelled it for the first time in 30 years. I look at it that if it happened in America, we would rally behind the three people that died and then celebrate our bravery and hold the race, and make a big public scene around it, and it would be viewed as progress in the fight against terrorism.
3.I will be the director of a camp this summer, and i am worried that my staff will not be prepared. It is my responsibility that they are ready to deliver a leadership course. This weekend I was at a "staff development" which we have each month. So I need to make sure that I set a good example for them so that they can achieve at a high level that I need from my staff. That is all.
