In crossfire there were a lot of attacks on the person who was arguing. There were attacks on the comedian as to how he is a comedian and didn't take chances. The politicians thought the comedian was not taking opportunities he was given to attack John Kerry. It was a very sarcastic argument and main points were not made. It was very opinionated with no facts. The man with a bow tie continued to interrupt the comedian and would't allow him to finish. A repeated phrase by the comedian was "please stop hurting America". The comedian also said it hurt him to watch the show, but he did anyway. The comedian however stayed relaxed through the whole argument and did not get heated even when the politicians would.

Highschool writing process

Through the duration of high school I did a fair amount of writing. I would always receive the topic for the essay and depending on what the topic was, was how easy or hard it was for me to write. If it was something I was interested in I would start brainstorming mentally. I never write down on paper my brainstorming except for small points that are important. From the it is easy for me to formulate strong adjectives and make the story flow and can write a whole essay in one sitting with ease. However with topics I am not fond of it becomes very difficult and I tend to procrastinate and then end up writing a horrendous paper. It was always most difficult for me to research for subjects and write about them. I prefer to pull as close to 100 percent of the information from my knowledge I already have or a reading that relates to the class and not a research paper. As a student in high school I was always very distracted by my surroundings and had to isolate myself to get my papers done. Here at Auburn I will stay in the library a good amount to get work done. As well I will be making many appointments with you to help me with my papers in relation to where to put sentences or just how I could improve the paper. I am here to get the best out of college so I am willing to do what I can to succeed.
