Project Proposal

Project Proposal
                 For my research paper I am focusing on the topic of how animal abuse is connected to domestic violence. I don’t have a specific thesis yet because I need to go more in depth with my articles. I’m hoping my paper will give readers the information they need to be aware that animal abuse can have a deeper meaning, but that it doesn’t always. I also want to provide basic information and facts to clear up any misconceptions about abuse and to give a definition of what animal abuse and domestic violence are in terms of the articles.
                 My paper will bring up the questions “why do people abuse animals?”, “how are animal abuse and domestic violence related?”, and “how often are animal abuse and domestic violence linked?” I do have personal opinions on the subject, but my goal is to remain unbiased and give the best, most valid information that I can. I feel very strongly on the subject of animal abuse and really want to spread the word on what it is and how to see the signs of it.

When I was in high school I was involved in the drama club. My freshman year, I auditioned for the musical Grease. Despite making it through all 3 rounds of callbacks, I did not make it into the actual cast. Inadvertently I was kind of being told I was bad at singing and/or dancing since I didn't make the show. I really wanted to make a musical so I joined choir and took dance class for gym. I auditioned for the musicals my sophomore and senior year, but still never made it. I'm not going to lie and say I was fine with it. It was hard because literally all of my friends made the musicals. Looking back on it makes me proud that I tried to improve my skills even if it didn't work out in the end.

Good E-mail

Hi Professor,
I am in your 10am class on MWF and I seem to have come down with the flu so I will not be able to come to class today. I saw what was planned on the syllabus and I just wanted to check with you to see what else we will be covering in class. If you could let me know so I can be caught up when I get back that would be great.

Thank you,
Cara Tumino


Bad E-mail

Hey!
I've been puking all day and won't be in class. Are we doing anything important today, or nah? Get back to me ASAP. I got other stuff to do.

"You may well ask, 'Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches, etc.? Isn't negotiation a better path?' You are exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue."

Letter From Birmingham City Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

By talking and focusing so much on nonviolence, this passage homes in on Dr. King's message. The word creative is prominent in other work of his and it plays a large role in the fight for equality and other justices. If people did things that happen every day to raise awareness for a cause,it would probably go unnoticed. These creative protests call attention to the issue of inequality. BY using the word "creative", Dr. King makes something ordinary become unique. The use of words like "creative", "crisis", "purpose", "direct action", and "negotiate" perfectly represent the purpose of this letter and why what Dr. King did was so effective. "Forced" has a negative connotation, but using it in this context makes it positive because he is trying to get across a meaningful message that people need to hear.
