Blog Prompt 3

I chose an article from the New York Times, titled "The Dalai Lama's Speech". In the article the editor writes about how the Dalai Lama said that the Chinese government is turning Tibet into a "hell on earth". The article continues to praise the Dalai Lama and say how good of a guy he is and that he is all about peace. Now don't get me wrong i have nothing against the Dalai i am just a little annoyed that this article is completely one sided and they just basically say that the Dalai Lama is right. They say very little about about China is working very hard to make the lives better for the people in Tibet, but they only have one line of that, and in the next line they continue to rip on China and the government. I have no idea if China is really being uncooperative with the people of Tibet and the Dalai Lama, but the article should have at least put something in there relating to China and just just continuously talk about how good the Dalai Lama is and that he is all about peace, show some details about how China is treating the people of Tibet badly so the readers and get a sense of what the Dalai Lama is speaking out against. Most people probably already believe that the Dalai Lama is a pretty good guy and that he is for peace, so tell the other side of the story.

Blog Post Numero Dos

In the library the other day it was completely packed. It was almost impossible to find an empty seat. However if in a place that is paced like this i still feel it be be kind of up beat and everyone happy. Like, yeah every once in a while someone is extremely stressed out over homework that is do or a big midterm that is tomorrow night. The fact that it is so bright there and that there are windows everywhere helps this problem, it makes it a very relaxing and welcoming place to be. The new Thomson library i think that it really helps the students, i know it helps me out so much and i see hundreds of people there daily.

The library, yes it is meant for studying but people also go there for other reasons, some people just go there to relax during the day in between classes. Even just go up to the eleventh floor and that view is sweet, and the atmosphere up there is so laid back and kind of up beat. Little to say i love the new library, last year i went to the other library's a total of twice i think and with the new library it would not be uncommon if i was there twice in one day.

First blog

When it comes to public writing, i guess i don't really mind it but i don't enjoy it either. Unless i am writing about something that i am truly interested i really can't get into it. If it is something that i do enjoy to talk about with people and discus things about the subject i can get really into it. Take this blog for example i can't really get into it. When i came to come write this i had no idea what to write so i looked through other peoples blogs to see what they had written and i saw a few of them talking about public writing. If that is the topic that we are suppose to write about than i am going to feel pretty dumb right now but in my defence i was not in class on Thursday because i had the flu and even now while typing this i still feel pretty crappy.

I have never used a blog before so i don't really know much of what i am doing with this. To be honest i never really saw a point to blogs, like why do a bunch of people wanna know what up with my life i don't really get it. I am up to try it though cause weather or not i understand why people use blogs a lot of people do use them so there has to be something to them. Hopefully this English assignment to get me to write blogs will open me up to see what is the point of these blogs and hopefully i come to like them a little bit more
