Research Update

At the current moment, my research is going very well in terms of the amount of organization I am putting forth. I am usually very unorganized whenever I do any type of work, but this seems to be very different because of whats at stake(my grades). What is also going well is just how interested I am into my topic. I am never interested in school work and yet I still find myself surfing the internet trying to find more info for my research paper(more on this later).

One of my biggest problems is actually finding in depth information on certain aspects of my research paper. I think this is mainly because most of the stuff that I need to know is probably still classified by either the Russians or the US. One example of this is the complete lack of knowledge of how the Russians actually attained the means to create their V2 clone. The only thing that I could find was a picture, and it was questionable about whether it was actually the clone or just another V2.

America's Gun Problem, Explained (Not Really, and I Actually Explain Why)

I chose an article from Vox. Vox has been known to many as a reliable news source and has been cited by multiple politicians is the end all be all of news sources. The article which is titled America's gun problem, explained , attempts to give a large number of statistics and then links these "facts" together to form a statement (I will come to this statement later). There is also a video from Vox that accompanies the article, and I will include all of the facts and statements that they make there into this blog. The first claim that Vox makes is that America's gun problem is completely unique compared to the rest of the developed world. They do this by comparing homicide rates between countries (in the article) and by comparing mass shooting occurrences between countries (in the video). After this claim, they then go on to claim that more guns means more death. They even show an entire chart of all of the states and shows that a larger percentage of legal gun owner...

Hits and Misses

One of the largest "hits" for my freshman year was the research paper. I genuinely enjoyed writing that huge research paper about technology in the cold war. I think this is for a few reasons. The first one being that WWII and Cold War history is something that I am very passionate about (I can blame my Dad for that). The second reason for me enjoying the research paper was because I believed that I was good at writing something like that (not to brag or anything). One of the things that I most improved on while doing this paper were my citation skills. That was definitely something that I had almost no experience in until writing the research paper. The writing project that I had the most trouble with was the literary analysis. I really did believe that the paper would have been the death of me. One of the main reasons for this is because I had a very strong feeling about the book that I couldn't necessarily put into writing (or say for that matter). This is because I ...
