The title of this essay is gifts written by Ralph Waldo Emerson.2.The author gave an opposing position in his introductory paragraph. For example, IT is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay, and ought to go into chancery, and be sold. I do not think this general insolvency, which involves in some sort all the population, to be the reason of the difficulty experienced at Christman and New Year, and other times, in bestowing gifts; since it is always so pleasant to be generous, though very vexatious to pay debts.3.The thesis statement in this essay was for common gifts, necessity makes pertinences and beauty every day, and one is glad when an imperative leaves him no option, since if the man at the door have no shoes, you have not to consider whether you could procure him a paint-box.4.The introductory paragraph was one of the worst I have ever read. For the simple reason, he opened with a good introductory sentence but then went away from it. In my opinion he had a great topic sentence that grasped the reader and he let them go by dirifting away from it. The introductory sentence could have also worked against him. It really had nothing to do with gifts, which is the title of his essay. Also in opening his essay with an opinion, he really didn't set forth a definitive statement. The paragraph was a bunch of words thrown together.5.The author used a call to action to conclude the essay.6.This essay in my mind was horrible from the beginning to the end, especially the conclusion. The writer uses to many parables and quotes that did not make any sense to me. If you were to read the introductory paragraph, the outlining paragraph's, and the conclusion, you wouldn't know you were reading the same essay. The author tried to get to cute and fancy instead of just sticking to the topic.

SLO Exam
The topic I chose to do my slo exam on was the helathcare industry. I figured it would be a good topic to do since my career will have a lot to do with the healthcare industry. In my speech i'm going to outline the problems that I think the healthcare industry is having right now and possible ways to get it fixed. All in all, I hope to enlighten anyone who reads it.

10 most annoying phrases
The article on the 10 most annoying phrases was an interesting read. I don't think the article depicts politicians in a good light. Even though some of the things that are said in the article are true, like the big unneccessary words that are used, and the lies. There are some out their like our current president elect who keep it nice and simple, not really trying to confuse people. Most of the time their dialog contains a lot of hidden meaning behind it.

sentence test
The test we had to take in the complete sentences was pretty easy. I got all the question right because it was stuff you learn in elementary school. I did learn the terms behind a run-on sentence, a comma splice, and a fragmented sentence.

Obama
Obama finished off the most historic night in United States history by giving a historic speech in Chicago's Grant Park. His speech in my mind embodied his whole campaign, that America was ready for a change. He has always had a way of delivering a speech that can make you believe. I think he made a lot of people in the United States and around the world stand up and take notice. He showed in his speech last night that he was a very humble individual by congratulating Sen. Macain. He also showed in his speech that he was ready to put aside the bipartisanship that's plagued Washington for so many years and work with the republicans on building America back to respectable place in the global community and at home.
