I found the reading by Cheryl Carp very interesting and also very surprising. I have a hard time believing that the average person would find a visit to a maximum security prison very uplifting. I would think that it would be more depressing. I think just by choosing the topic of hydrogen burning cars is a great way to catch a readers interest. It is a topic that any one who drives a gasoline or Diesel powered vehicle these days, is very interested in. One observation that I found interesting was the use of other authors names’ when using data from their works’. Throughout the writing about hydrogen cars Shannon King writes , “According to so and so” and then states the information. She also includes a “works cited” list at the end of her article. Is this a good way to avoid plagerizing?

I liked reading the Shannon King article, “How Clean and Green Are Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Cars?” She really made me look at this whole issue at a different angle. With the way gas prices are right now, I have been thinking a lot about getting a car like that, but as she pointed out, the cars themselves are not always the problem. I never have even thought about the process that goes into making this available to us. This article has let me take a look at this issue in a different light.

I liked the reading on “How Much Does it Cost to go Organic?” by Kerri Ann Matsumoto. The arguments for going organic are irrefutable, while the cost of going organic is not affordable, and outweighs the benefits of eating organic for most of us.

I also liked the reading by Shannon King, “How Clean and Green Are Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Cars?” It was by far the most “surprising” paper to me. I have never considered how hydrogen will be made for the hydrogen cars and right now they don’t really look that much better than what we currently have. This paper held my attention more than any of the other readings mainly because of the surprising information.

I couldn’t find where to give examples of bad grammar, so here they are.
Alls I’m saying is
We seen them …
We was going…
Him and I or her and I

But why are these “bad” grammar examples?
