SC WEEK #1 Ryan M. Schmidt

A writer to me is a person that writes books, papers, articles, magazines, etc. They do it as a job or they do it just for fun, and they love doing it. They write for magazines such as sports illustrated, or National Geographic, The People, etc. They are a person that goes deep into writing on a certain subject or what ever topic they are on and put as much effort into it as a artist would for a painting. They take their job to the fullest and go into great detail on what they are writing on. A good writer for a book would go into detail and make an image so that the reader can picture the image in their head and allow the reader to understand fully what the writer is trying to tell. A good writer for a magazine would go into a lot of detail about telling what happened in a game and tell the stats and who won and everything that a reader would want to know if they were reading the magazine. A writer is a person that goes into great detail to allow the reader to fully understand the full meaning of what they are trying to say.

SC WEEK #2 Ryan M. Schmidt

The article is about how parents have tried to make their kids go to sleep instead of them crying all night and keeping the parents up. The writer talk about all of the different strategies she used to get your kids to try to go to sleep. Her and her husband read books like the best selling book in 1985 “Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems”. They also used the ferberization method, which is to let the baby cry its self to sleep and not wake it up until it wants to. She also said that the book “Have a Convenient Baby”. She said that it is the worst book to read and to use on making your baby go to sleep. The writer of the article Pamela Paul is a mother who has had to deal with all of these problems with putting her baby to sleep. She said in the article that “the best way for us to learn about sleep is to listen very carefully to what parents describe happening in their own homes, and find out what really works and what doesn’t.” The reason is because parents that have already had children and grown up are more experienced on how to raise their kids and keep them asleep.

SC WEEK #3

GM has just finished making the new hybrid Chevy Volt. The big news is that it will go an estimated 230 miles on one gallon of gasoline in city. They have not came up with a highway estimation of how far it will run but they said that it would still be in the triple digits. The car is not for sale yet but it will be in the show rooms later next year. The Toyota Prius was the car that had the most MPG with 51 but know is second best to the Volt. The car uses its battery to run the car and when it goes dead it uses the gasoline to pump into the battery and recharge it and keep going. They are saying that the only problem with the car is that the price will be about 40,000 dollars and people just don’t have that kind of money in this situation that we are in as a country. But people are still going to buy the car for the gas mileage.
