Good writing to me is good grammar for the most part. I feel like as long as you have good grammar in what you write, and it makes a little sense, it is good writing. I know this because a good writer will always use good grammar and the story or essay will always make sense. I write mostly on my phone texting, or writing an essay.

What makes writing effective?
PURPOSE- Why are you writing?
SUBJECT- What are your writing about?
AUDIENCE- Who are you writing for?

I reviewed Zee's essay: Her belief statement "Unhappily doesn't have to be your ever after"
1. Her belief statement was stated very clear and I understood why, the more I read.
2. She did good persuading me with a lot of good quotes. Pretty sure she could get anybody to agree with her on her statement.
3. The style of her essay was great she slowly but surely made it known why she believed so strongly in her her belief statement.
4. Her editing was good, did not need any changes.
5. At first I was a little confused but she ended good enough to where I knew where she was coming from.
6. As she told the story of her relatives passing and how that almost broke her but she got passed it and used it as motivation, which I do the same with the passing of my dad so, that was the most important part for me because I could relate.

The easy part would be just focusing on myself. I would take this task on like a get away from everything. The hard part would be communication with anybody and also keeping up with my schedule.

Home Screen

I've organized my home screen into sections of apps with the same type of meaning. Like all of my finance apps are in the same folder, all of my social media apps are in the same folder etc. I did this to make it easier when I'm trying to get to a certain app, this way I would not have to be scrambling around for certain apps. It may say how organized I am and how I like for a lot of the same things to be sectioned together.

Article Response

After reading the articles, they were trying to be too specific about a person like me. Some stuff they were saying were right but most of it was wrong. The article made it sound like all people who do the same thing on their phone are the same. My homescreen definitely tells me how organized I am. My apps tells me I'm a kind of social person.

Commentary Questions

How're Black young men effected if they do not have a father in the house at all times growing up?
If you only have a single mom growing up, how does that effect your manhood?

Commentary Question

kstimpso23 — 2023-10-23 14:18:18 UTC

1) Why did you choose your topic?
I chose my topic because I'm in that common percentage of not having a father in the household, so I want to dig deeper into knowing how I've been affected by it my whole life.
2) What is your initial perspective prior to beginning research?
I feel like it's a hit or miss based upon your mindset, but I also feel like most kids go down the wrong path because they do not know what a real man is.

The Lived Experiences of Resilient Single Mothers Who Raised Successful Black Men.
Author: Angie D. Wilson
I chose this article because this really was the exact type of acticle I was looking for because even though my questions focuses on the father/son effect, I wanted to include the effect on the single mom and this has all point of views. This would be in the popular article category.
