Sesame street counter-argument: “why are you homo-phobic?” :lol:

This assignment looks like a real challenge for me because it’s more than just quoting and writing. I’m going to have to go eat a few more fish sandwiches for brain food.

I didn’t take ENGL 1010 here at UVU. My community college ENG 101 emphasized personal writings. I’m up to Mr. Winn’s challenge though.
A real word-sculpting assignment.

Bring it on.

This reading seems like it will be helpul in our next assignment due thursday. I like the part about writing in the margins. I have always been an underliner myself and I find that at the end of a reading I don't know what the most important parts are because I underlined too much. I also like the idea of writing what the paragraph "says" and "does." I will start using these tools while analyzing my articles. The only part in the reading that I didn't care for was the article on Sesame Street being Sexist. Sometimes I feel like those kind of writers actively seek out and stretch those examples too thin. I definitely didn't think that there were more boy than girl puppets when I was a kid. I was excited to learn where crayons came from and stuff like that!
