Problems
So I'm facing a problem here with essay two. I cant find much research to cite for the paper. I want to stick with this topic that I have I don't want to start fresh with something new. I really like my first proposal and I'm unsure of what to do if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to leave a comment.It would be greatly appreciated.

V-Day
Oh well Happy Valentines Day to you and to all. Umm no not really its not even a real holiday just some day to show that special someone you care about them when you should be doing that all year long. Men lavish there women with big teddy bears chocolates and flowers. Which to me is such a bore and truly unneeded. Men all we really want is to know you love and care for us the way we care for you. Getting the same stuff year after year is so lame. Its not that I'm trying to be a basher on love or v-day I just feel its to overrated. Me and my boyfriend know the real meaning that neither one of us needs gifts to make the other happy, just each other is good enough for the both of us spending time together with our son brings us both satisfaction some may not even know.

Just a Thought
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I think that is so amazing and true for lots of people no matter what path they take in life. It all begins with that one step into school into the work place or any real connections you can bring it to. I found this quote in a magazine and was simply amazed by it. It put a smile on my face to wrap my mind on something like that first step that seems so small but is really quite larger then you think!

Dear Mr. Editor
I think minimum wage for all is fair. Yet our lawmakers here in Arizona passed a bill saying disabled people with developmental delays can receive less then $6.75 an hour. I as someone who’s helped with people with developmental delays believe it does an injustice to them. When you apply for a job on the application it says it will not discriminate against people with disabilities. But this bill is doing exactly that allowing employers to pay them less then minimum wage. I’m sure there has to be a better way or a compromise of some sort to allow these workers to get a better wage. Some of these workers get pennies for it and it is just not fair.

Reflection
My audience is the readers of the Arizona Republic. People of all generations, ethnic background, and economic status. My purpose for writing this is to inform people. To educate them on some items they might not know about. So that they to can help and move for a change too. I didn’t necessarily have a target audience because whoever reads the publication is in my mind the target audience. I think they would all get some kind of knowledge from my letter. I want and hope it will reach all kinds of audiences.
Ethos it means a lot to me because I’ve helped with people who have developmental delays and I don’t think it is fair for them to be treated like that. I think my tone is of concern for these people to be treated fairly. I feel it is sincere and not full of anger which is one tone I almost wanted to use ,but at the last minute I didn’t because I felt it would only hurt my letter and my point.
Logos having worked with these people makes me feel like I have to stand up for them and help educate people for the cause. My personal experience has a great deal of why I feel so strongly about the topic. I only want what is right and fair for these people. I’m sure it has to strike a cord in someone else and cause a reaction.
The occasion is to move for a change its time we stand up for all. We all voted this last mid election for a raise in minimum wage. Which passed and it went up to $6.75 an hour. Why is it these people should be exempt from that. They shouldn’t be and at the very least I believe they deserve it.

Freewrite
Today I chose to do a freewrite because Im really unsure of what to do for this blog. Im just trying to fill the paper to make the grade. I just got done typing up our letter to the editor and I think I did an ok job. Today is the day we turn it in for a grade I can only hope for the best. With a sick baby at home with two ear infections it was really hard to try and crank out a final draft. But its done now so I can put that behind me know, and start to work on some catch work for math.
