homework :)
K. had many apparent flaws throughout the novel, but all of them were magnified by the court’s psychological stranglehold on his state of mind. Although K. tried to break free, his arrogant personality and desire to prove his innocence kept him under the court’s control up to the point of his death. K.’s fight against the Law underscores the importance of freedom of thought in one’s overall sense of freedom.
Conclusions
Suggestions for writing a conclusion
•Answer the question "So What?"
Show your readers why this paper was important. Show them that your paper was meaningful and useful.
•Synthesize, don't summarize
–Don't simply repeat things that were in your paper. They have read it. Show them how the points you made and the support and examples you used were not random, but fit together.
–
•Redirect your readers
–Give your reader something to think about, perhaps a way to use your paper in the "real" world. If your introduction went from general to specific, make your conclusion go from specific to general. Think globally.
–
•Create a new meaning
–You don't have to give new information to create a new meaning. By demonstrating how your ideas work together, you can create a new picture. Often the sum of the paper is worth more than its parts.
Strategies
Strategies

•Analogies.
•Statement that looks ahead to the future.
Avoid
Avoid
•Introducing new ideas or facts that belong in the body of the essay.
•Re-wording your introduction.
•Do not use, In conclusion, or in closing. They are too overused and only work in speeches.
•Do not state the thesis for the first time in the conclusion, it should be the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.

who are you more afraid of...
After going home to my town in the middle of CT, I have come to the conclusion that I'm more afraid to live there than in Jamaica, Queens. Everyone goes on and on about how dangerous black men are and that they'll shoot you if you walk up to them. That's not true at all. To be totally honest, how many serial killers were black? none. How many pettifiles are black? hardly any. How many black men cut up arms and keep them in their refridgerators? none. It's all white males who do this kind of stuff. Especially middle to upper class white men. So, living in white-bread central makes me more afraid to walk the streets at night than in Queens. Anybody agree? White guys are crazy.....................

Baseball
So baseball season has begun and the Yankees are currently 1-2. A horrible start to the season, but what else is new? They always start out horrible and then come back to take over the division. Why is that? Sometimes I think baseball is fixed. And that everything that happens is just for TV ratings. How horrible would that be? The Yankees will always be my favorite team and will always have my love. But, sometimes I just hate the fact that they have so much money. But, what's good about them now is that their minor league system has gotten a lot been and rookies are starting to evolve. One such being Robinson Cano. Oh how I love him!!!

What's worse?
- a broken relationship or a broken friendship?
Everyone immediatly thinks a broken friendship because chicks come before dicks right? Well I don't know if I believe that. Every girl, including me, who has been in a relationship has ditched their girlfriends at one point or another to be with their boy. It happens. Then, the girlfriends start to say, "but he's an asshole, you can do better. choose us or him." and most of the time the girl will cry and then go back to the quote chicks before dicks to make their decision. When in reality all they really want is to be with their boyfriend, asshole or not. Sometime the friends are trying to help, other times their just jealous of your relationship. Then, after the relationship ends, the girl goes back to hanging out with her friends but it's not what she wants. All she wants is to be with her boy. This eventually will lead to a fight between her and those girlfriends. And when she tries to go back to her guy.... he's already gone. What i'm trying to say is, talk with your friends and your boyfriend before you end things. Breaking up isn't always the best option. TRUST ME.
