D#10,HW#1 Reading reflection

The chapter readings this week from Everything's an Argument helped me identify the style I will be using in my WP#3. My thesis is in the form of a proposal, and chapter 11 covered it very well. The "Guide to writing a proposal" on pages 346-350 outlines each of the steps I will need to take. I enjoyed reading all of the sample essays, especially the tongue-in-cheek style of P.J. O'Rourke in his "Mass Transit Hysteria." I try to find humor in things whenever possible, and it is nice to be able to lighten up some subjects that might otherwise be heavy and dry.
The websites I reviewed will assist me in finalizing a thesis statement, and constructing the first draft of my research essay. I forgot that Devon said he would have some samples for us to look at. I meant to ask him about that during class Thursday. Hope he will post something online at least.
