Piercing & Tattoos

In history piercing and tattoos were not very accepted by society unless it was part of their culture, but today piercings and tattoos are considered body art or a “form of expression”. Personally I love tattoos but I would never get one because I’m scared to regret it in the future but piercings are my favorite thing. Usually when im really stressed out or going through a hectic time I would go get a piercing. My parents hate it but I do it anyways because in  way it’s a stress reliever for me. I love piercings so much to an extent that I would go get a piercing knowing my father would make me take it out but I do it just for the adrenaline rush and for the sake of saying and knowing for myself that I had that piercing.

When I do get pierced I always go to the same guy that did all my piercing because im a generally very sterile girl, and since I get so many piercing I am already familiar with the way my piercer works and how sterile their facility is. It is very important to be sure that you are always pierced with a clean needle and your piercer or tattoo artist is licensed. 

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 is important in teaching students how to guide their reading. Chapter 5 teaches the students how to guide their reading and what to look for when reading. It is important to have background information and a little knowledge about the topic one is reading. Also, when you guide your reading most of the time it makes it easier for the reader to understand. 

Chapter 4

Reading this chapter taught me that there is no individual who truly knows every word in existence. This chapter teaches how in the English language there are many ways to figure out the meaning of a word without actually knowing the words definition. Personally I think this chapter is important because it can help any student come around words they do not understand throughout their college career. 

Gambling

I think gambling is a very serious problem and addiction. People who gamble don’t necessarily understand how harsh their condition/addiction is. Gambling to some people is a way to distress while having fun and experiencing a constant adrenaline rush. Gamblers also are so set on maybe “next time” ill actually win more money and that is how they constantly keep on betting and loosing money in hopes of maybe they’ll win the next round. 

Chapter 3

Context clues are very important. It is rarely possible, if possible at all to have a story flow properly without any context clues. The 5 context clues; definition,  synonym, example, contrast and interference are all extremely important when putting together a writing piece. It is important for writers to use there clues properly to help develop their story in a way that makes it easier for the reader to read and understand.

chapter 1

Reading this chapter taught me how important it is to be involved in a major that interests you. Also, it is rather important to have a plan possibly as to what you want to do in your field of study. Finally, it is just as important to feel confident in what you do or study because employers in the work force usually look for someone with a diverse educational background when hiring.

Chapter 2

Chapter two taught me how important it is to communicate with people. Communication skills are very important especially knowing how to react in specific situations. This chapter is specifically helpful in teaching students how to react when encountering a dilemma while engaged in a conversation. although is was interesting to read the chapter and see different ways of responding to conversational dilemmas, i feel like a lot of the stuff is basic manners and social skills but the text book simply point out the proper way of responding.
