There are almost only 2 weeks left in this quarter. It has been tough but meaningful. We have learnt a lot in this class, and knew how to write a blog, how to use a primary source; how to use the primary source and how to edit our own paper to get a better grade. I have got a bad grade in the ARP, which surprises me. Cause I thought I did well in the ssi but the grade is so different. After I examined the feed back I found my problem. In the ssi I focused on the analysis claims and content which were discussed in the office time. But in the ARP the reason why it failed is that my paper is lack of logic and construction. The idea of using outline makes me feel inspired. I should write a outline first, so that it can make my paper clear to the readers, and help the future write on its way.
After that Chase gave us some extra credits which made me relieved, I didn't sleep well because of the bad grade. We got 3 options, one to go to the class, one to write an outline and one to writ a memo. I have already finished the outline. I think Chase is brilliant to give us a grade which can hurt some of us, this makes us nervous and will try our best to get a better grade. In this process, we can learn a lot.

One thing that is coming up is Thanksgiving. Relating this to class, I believe this is one of the holidays that all social classes can celebrate equally. Whether rich or poor, Thanksgiving is celebrated by almost everyone in America. Food prices aren’t terribly expensive in this country, so it is not like Christmas where gifts can get very expensive. The only problem for different classes can be the price of transportation, since getting to family that is very far away can be economically difficult. Yet that is true for any holiday. Another thing that I think of is that Thanksgiving was first started when the pilgrims came to America and didn’t have any food. So the “upper-class” Native Americans helped them out. This shows how Thanksgiving is a holiday for all social classes to enjoy. 

Another thing to think of is that financial differences disappear during the Thanksgiving holiday. During a holiday like Christmas, there can be some awkward moments when one family has much more gifts than another family. This can be especially pronounced when these two families share some relation and therefore see each other quite often. Yet with Thanksgiving, there is no need to worry about this. Both because everyone is sharing the same meal, and because family often comes together to enjoy the meal together. So it is not like there can be a Christmas-esque moment where one family has a much better dinner than another family in the same extended family. These are the reasons that Thanksgiving is a holiday for all social classes.

Last weekend, it was the first to go to the American wedding. It is excited and curious what is difference between China wedding and American wedding. To be honest, I was confused from the Shower. When I first heard the Shower I thought it is the shower we normal take. But I google it, it is totally different with I thinking. The Shower is a bridal shower of gift-giving party held for a bride.We sends our best wishes and gifts to bride. We had branch, eating, talking and sharing story. Then, bride open all gifts received. That is sweet. In China, most people do not have bridal shower but for some Christians also held this. For the wedding, in American, there are two parts. One is in church one is reception. The ceremony in church is people together witness the love of the new couple with music, flowers and wishes. After the wedding part, we went to the golf course. With the nice weather people took photos together, played golf and played game making friends. Everything is going well here. After dinner, we danced, had drinks and sing. In China, we just have reception. The ceremony also held in reception then we have dinner. It is more boring. The interesting parts are the groom and best men come to bride’s home to meet bride and after wedding a branch of friends shivaree. Let bride and groom play some interesting and difficult games.People are enjoyed it.

In commonplace, I will still talk about education in China, because the education is a hot topic all over the world. Whatever the child or old people, everyone will follow the latest news about education. Because every family has children, they will go to school. Of cause, parents will care about the quality of the school and the newest rules of school. For now,the events about education is frequently appearing in TV whatever good things or bad. This is a component of social events. Education can include any kind of funny stories of students and some news related to the social or government. And it can reflect the new tendency about the education system change or something else. In my ARP, I am concentrated on the research parts. The more analyze the evidence to improve the argument. I think I will make big change in commonplace eassay. Let ‘s more interesting and more persuasive.
I will started with my Primary source analysis of the movie “ Not One Less”.Because the movie is a relax way to let audience received when they are tired. People will know the situation among the rural area in China and have some feeling from this movie. I think it is a good start to arouse interest let people read more. And also I will combine the secondary source analysis to talk more.I believe it will let more people know and interested in join to help students in rural area to come true their dream of going to school.

My ARP was mainly about the poor and how the government doesn’t tailor specific solutions to try and achieve the most benefits possible for each poor person. I don’t think it will be much of a problem trying to adapt this to a public audience. I can talk about how the government could provide more specific support to groups that my audience can relate to, such as college graduates in debt. I think this will be a bit of a challenge because I will have to delve into some new research, since that topic wasn’t discussed much in my ARP or any of my secondary sources. Yet I believe it shouldn’t be too difficult to make the connection between debt from college education and my primary source. 

As far as the position I am going to take, I will probably take a position similar to the one I took in my ARP and argue for the government providing more benefits to college students suffering from debt. I will advocate for more programs to help college students so they aren’t stuck with so much debt after they graduate. This may mean different things for different groups of students, but I hope for a better system to help prevent this problem of so much debt. I believe if this debt can be prevented in the first place, it will help our young people get off to a better start in life as they will not be so focused on paying off debts for their first several years in the work force.

Why do girls like bad guys? There is an old saying in Chinese that a girl won’t love a man who is not bad. This proverb makes me confused for a long time, because normal people would think that if being good to a girl, the girls would be moved by the genuine. And as a fact that lot of girls claim that they like good man, they want to look for good man to be boyfriend or husband. It is interesting that they complained that why can’t they find people like those. As a matter of fact girls usually are attracted by the bad guys who are usually charming, romantic and humorous.

The public usually hold negative opinion about the word bad. But the word bad we use here is different from the bad people who kill, set up fired or ripe. It is more like strong and sexy. In our life, almost all the bad guys have girls around them. In a contrary, the good guys who are often honest are the one abandoned or rejected by girls. According to an investigation, over 95 percent of bachelors are good and honest. No matter the bad guys are poor, they can always find a girlfriend. They experienced a lot, practiced a lot, got hurt a lot, and had sex a lot. So why can those people attract girls?
