My Thoughts on Comments

1. I would describe these fears and anxieties as unnecessary and a bit over the top. For example the article was about a comment that Trump made about Mexican immigrants that was supposedly misinterpreted, yet in this comment this person expresses other fears about issues going on in our country that are not related to the article at all. Also another fear expressed in this comment section was how pretty much anyone can run for president, whether this is that case or not, just because "anybody" can run doesn't necessarily mean that an "anybody" will win.

2. Well I believe that they can be separated by people who are for Trump and his comments on Mexicans/immigrants and people who oppose him and his ideals.  Some commenters agree and think that the US should be "cracking down" on immigration regulations and not working with the corrupt Mexican government. On the other hand, the people who oppose and feel that his comments are racist, he is hypocritical, and that his comments about immigrants are not very factual.

3. The two comments that came across as more reasonable to me, which are one from each point of view, were the ones made by the ex-officer (Jake) and the person who shares his family's history (Al'n). The reason that I believed this was because they have first had experience with what is being said and they give reasons to support their point of views.

4. One commenter that came across as lacking credibility or trustworthiness went by the name Paul. The reason that I think this was because he just stated where he stood on this topic but didn't give and more information on why he believes what he does. His comment to me was more of an invitation to start an argument then to actually state what he truly thinks.

'Deflategate’ Controversy

The reason that I picked this article was because I follow sports very closely and it was an issue that
 rocked the NFL. This article was about the controversy that dealt with the use of under-inflated footballs during AFC Championship game. This was a big deal due to the fact that under-inflated balls give an advantage to the players, such as making them easier to grip. This raised questions as to how these balls came to be used in such an important game.

My Writing Process

Wiertz, Sebastien. "From Chaos to Order" 10/13/13 via flickr. Attribution.

1. I consider myself to be a little bit of everything, I can sometimes be somewhat of a chaotic writer. I do feel like I have heavy planning, heavy revising, sequential composer and procrastinating tendencies; it really depends on the subject matter of my paper.

2. My writing does include some of the approaches mentioned in this student guide. In the heavy planning section, I can identify with this section because there has been times in which I feel like I have created my whole paper in my head and all there is really left to do it just write it. But I feel like I identify more with the heavy reviser section because more often than not, I start off a project by just writing absolutely everything that comes to mind. It is through this process in which I plan how to set up my paper and what I keep and delete. As for being a sequential composer, I feel like I can relate to this style because I do have the habit of taking extensive notes and making things such a timelines and webs to help my writing process. Lastly, I have the horrible habit of also leaving work to the very last minute. I do feel like I work well under pressure and have managed to get good grades with this approach, but this approach always leaves me feeling drained and with the feeling to never procrastinate again. Yet it still manages to creep up on me sometimes. In the end, my approach really depend on what I am working on.

3. I feel like my writing processes work for me. The approach that is probably the least successful for me is when I procrastinate. Thats mostly because I always end up feeling like I could have done better or more, but I didn't give myself enough time to actually work. Other than that I feel like the approaches that I take have worked for me so far in my life.

4. Honestly, I don't think that it would. I feel like I really need to stop procrastinating but other than that I feel like the approaches that I take while tackling a new paper have been very successful for me and I wouldn't want to change them.
