Espanol

So, last quarter I took a Spanish composition and conversation class. It’s my 6th year of Spanish and I have written papers and stuff before but not as in detail as I did in that class. The professor, Paula, was very positive and helped a lot with the writing aspect fo the class. We had to write at least a page every week to improve our Spanish writing and we had three five page papers due by the end of the quarter.
I would like to think that my writing styles stay the same in both English and Spanish, however I know that Spanish composed differently, so, I am sure that my style is differed slightly from one to the other. My vocabulary improved a lot when I wrote more in Spanish and it also helped my English writing because can think about things differently in different ways not only the way we can read it in English I can think about how I would write it in Spanish and possibly write it out that way.
It has actually been great now being able to write in two different languages, I think its great being bilingual. I also like to think that writing and learning to write in a different language helps out in my native language English.

Up to the Waist

I am writing in response to the letter to the editor How hard is it to identify graffiti tools, by Bill Gernannt, which is about the spray paint and graffiti problem in the Denver area. He wrote this letter in response to “Graffiti bill too broad,” Jan. 18 news story and talks about how Rep. Terrance Carroll is concerned about “profiling” teenagers with doing all the spray painting in the Denver area, which is very reasonable because not all teenagers are graffiti artists. However, Mr. Gernannt pretty much says that the Representative is full of BS and that it is all teenagers doing the vandalism, or art, depending on who is looking at it. Gernannt sees it as vandalism and that all teenagers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and their parents should be charged a fine and required to clean up the vandalism at their own cost.
This is his scare tactic as appeal to pathos. But it just ticks me off because there are so many more people than just teenagers that are doing the graffitiing, what about the 20-some year old gang members, and what about the teenagers that don’t have parents, it is unjust and unfair, stereotypical and he needs to be told that what he just said is all of that and needs to be smacked for being a smart alec.
