Pop Culture # 9

As always when I just finished a new Netflix always suggests me another show to watch. Last week I found a show called Revenge, this show is about Emily is Amanda Clarke, whose father was framed for a crime he didn't commit and sent to prison for life. She was permanently separated from him and never saw him again. Noe she returned to the Hampton's to get revenge to the people that blame her father for a crime he didn't do it. I think I am on episode number 10 and every time the show is getting more and more interesting plus Emily is a good lair and she is taking down every single of the people who blame her framed her father. I love Netflix, but sometimes this is a huge distraction for me.

Sources

I found an E-book called Heavy Metal Music in Britain. I found this book on the library and I just going to use Chapter 8. This particular chapter  has some of the information that I need for my topic. This chapter told about it the emphasis that Heavy Metal has in its music and how is portrayed and have a connection with the Devil and darkness. It used as an example Black Sabbath which is a band that had a very deep meaning of Satan and destruction on their music. The reference in their song lyrics to Lucifer which take control over  people or an individual. The darkness part of Heavy Metal music the devil display a very important character in this genre.
This sources is reliable and this information will help me prove my argue about how heavy metal has a negative stereotype on people that listening to this kind of music.

Pop Culture # 8

I choose Heavy Metal as my topic for this next paper. I think that this kind of genre of music is very interesting, and I have some friends how are really into this kind of music such as Black Metal, Hardcore, death metal ,and some many others. But this kind of music is very extreme I mean they singers screen  so loud that you can briefly understand what are they singing. I really like Heavy Metal this kind  of genre is not that extreme and most all the time I listened in Spanish. There are so good bands such as Saratoga and Warcry their music is awesome and their lyrics are beautiful. I think that what I am going to focus on my essay is how some people thinks that this kind of music is evil and have a very influence in people. Also I know that I am going to learned a lot about this topic.!! =)

Citations

Well I learned how to use MLA when I was a sophomore in high school. At first it was a little confusing, but after all the paper that I've writing during pass 5 years I think that MLA is the best way to cited your information. Also this is the only citation style that I learned and I really like it, just sometimes I have to go back and review how to cite books, articles, or journals. Also I have to write an essay for my U.S History class, so my professor wants me to use Chicago style and I haven't use this  citation style, so I really hope it is easy to cite. However, I  might be like MLA but in a very difference form.

Pop Culture # 7

Today is the premiere of the "The Vampire Diaries" season 4, and I can't wait to see it. I am wondering if Elena is going to turn into a vampire in this season, and also I am pretty sure that she is going to chose Stefan and Damon probably is going to die for her. I just guessing what is gonna happen in this season, and I know that this is probably what is going to happen. This show really reminds me to Twilight and it has a lot of similarities like the vampires, the wolves, and how two man fall in love for the same girl. Anyways I love this kind of shows and I just cannot wait to see this new season. =)

Topic 10/11

Well so far I found a book called, "Living in Spanglish" I found this book on the library I used the course guide that the librarian told us to use to find books or articles. However, I decided to choose  a different topic Heavy Metal music and how some people react to this kind of music because of the sounds and style that they have. I find this topic very  interesting, so tomorrow I'll try ti find some articles about it, or maybe I will be able to find a book. Also I think that I will be able to find good sources in the library. One of the advantage about it is that all of their sources are reliable.

I just started watching a show called ''The Secret Circle"  and I just love it. The show is about a six teenager witches that are trying to figure out how their magic works. Event though, I love all the shows that Netflix has, this is a huge distraction for me.

The Shadow Scholar

One of the things that I had learned from my  previous classes is how to organized my information. Especially when I have to write an essay that requires more than source, it is really important to me  to make an outline just to make sure how I am organized my essay. When it comes to write an essay in which I have to do a research I make sure that I get my sources first, then after that I stared looking for the information that I am going to use. This help me to put my information together and when I start writing I know where can I find the information that I am looking for.
"The Shadow Scholar" is a very interesting article I cannot believe that student pay somebody to do their work. I think that what he is doing is wrong , and for all the people that pay to to their work. It is so unethical because they are gonna be processionals that did not know to to write an essay about an specific topic or assignment about their majors. It has a bad image not only on the people cheat, but also education in general. As he said those how paid him to do their work are gonna be the "future educators of America'. I prefer to get a B or a C by at lest I did  my work by myself. Also never cheap because that is wrong to do, and I will feel guilty with myself if I do it.
