1. A couple of things that you can use is more personal prespective by that i mean there can be a mix of facts and personal. Another thing that you can start is making connections on the essay and what it's about and having a hook that bring in the read and gets there full attention
2.One thing would be leaving the opinion aside w/ statistics. Now opinions are good as long as they make a connection. Generalizations should be no where near the essay. There should only be facts and just a alit bit of opinion if they make sense w/ the topic and helps.
3 No extra points for the number of facts you include. Academic essays contain more facts than opinion, personal essays contain more opinion than facts. But ensure the facts you use are accurate. Check names, spellings, numbers. Two sources of confirmation are better than one.
Writing essays in a great way to get your opinions off your chest, but avoid philosophical rants which make no connection to your reader’s experience. Again, keep it personal while relating to a wider world.
Take your ideas from wherever you can. Note your reactions to everything, pursue passing preoccupations and distractions, consider what makes you, glad, angry, passionate in what you read, see and hear. Mine your own past for incidents, images, lessons and epiphanies.

Front Pages of the World.
1. My favorite front page news paper would have to be the ones from Texas. I looked at the ones from both Austin and Forth Worth. The front pages seemed to be more about the community and about whats happening on the political side of things.
2. One of mu favorite headlines on the Austin paper would be "refugee students find a safe haven in Austin", I just felt that it would have to be about the positivity and opportunity the children got. The other paper about Forth Worth also had a good headline "Immigrants hide, fearing capture on 'any corner'." Now this headline did speak to me in a personal way b/c I come from a family that's more than have immigrant. So for a story thats about the community is always interesting.
3. Forth Worth has 3 stories.
Austin has 4 stories.
4. The 2 news papers have kind of the same design. They also both talk about the same stories, they talk about the community that they are surrounded by. For example the different cultures like hispanics and refugees that are having some of the problem in the country at the moment.
5. Both news papers have a similar layout type there are some different things like photos. The pics. do have different sixes and extra short stories previews.

Warm-up: sensory overload.
1. I believe that the statement talks about how the modern day cities use different objects for there building to define how they look and even the colors can do the same think.
1a. I would have to agree the statement b/c it's kind of true on how, just cause theres tall building, its the shapes they use .
1b. As a aspiring photographer i would have to say that i completely understand what they're trying to say. If your doing a project and it has a theme then you would what everything to add up. Not just having completely different things that don't make sense. So i think that the best to do.
1c. Honestly i really didn't really know what to expect. After seeing the photos, they made me kind of want to be there at that right moment. I think its cause of the clarity and colors that they showed.
1d. If i was a child to someone who worked there, I really wouldn't know that much about. Its kind of different from seeing a pic of them to basically putting yourself in there shoes. Now i don't think that it would be a good life.
1e. My favorite photo from the website has 3 people in it and its a pretty bright room with product everywhere you look. It has about 2 of the people resting there head like if they're tired/bored. Back to products, There are stuffed animals on one side and a whole bunch of santa clauses on the other side and hanging balloons. Its my favorite b/c of the colors and how the peoples reactions in it means something.
