zero draft
I originally wanted to make this the first few paragraphs of my essay, but i have found myself rereading self-reliance, and completely dissecting it, while putting together in my head how i want this essay to go. So my idea is to basically, incorporate my education, my thoughts, my peers and Emerson all into one. i plan to start off my essay with a debate between Emerson and Mr.carter. this will escalate into a full blown argument. while this is going on i will be taking everything both of them has said into my head, and analysing it with my own life. possibly contemplating on who has the better arguments, and whose theories i would like to fallow. i may throw in a conversation with one of my peers or maybe even Emerson at the end. I basically want my brain to be in full thinking mode the entire time, and i almost want to figure out what my life's been and what it is going to be, while hearing too people who are pretty sure of themselves, duel it out. Any ideas would really help, so go for it give them to me.

I'm so excited to see how this turns out! The idea of two people how are so sure of themselves arguiing can be interesting and hillarious at the same time. Make sure to describe Carter and his face turning blue and purple. OH! maybe you can have Carter and Emerson talk about simplicity and technology, Carter can argue how tools such as computers and smartboards are really important and Emerson can talk about how schools need more simplicity...just an idea. This is a great idea
ReplyDeleteI think that this idea might be too broad. Maybe if you told us what are some of your ideas for the arguements then we could help out? I think it will be interesting though. I bet it will turn out amazing. How are you going to end it though? With a statement of the arguement? I think you should end with how you took all of these other peoples thoughts into consideration and how you encorperate all of them into making your own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea. I'm interested to see how this turns out, and what the arguement consists of. I want to know what they are talking about and how it effects you. Be descriptive with your thoughts. I'm sure the Mr. Carter arguement will be hilarious to read. Like chancee said, this idea is a bit vague, but i'm sure once you start writing you will explain to us your ideas, or better yet show us. Have fun with it, great idea!
ReplyDeleteI think this will be a really cool essay! I think that Mr. Carter should make a fool of him self and Emmerson should be totally discusted and stand up in the middle of his speech and just go off. I also think that teachers and principles have there different ways of teaching and I think it would be neat to hear how Mr. Carter seems to be all "bad ass" and complex and Emerson is all about simplicity and maybe they could come to an aggrement of some sort.? There are many ways you could run with this topic. I think it is awesome way to go!!
ReplyDeleteYAY LILLYY!!!
ReplyDeletei think that it would be SUPER DUPER DOPE if you put like youre friends in the argument, but make your friends oppinions form off of the other writters... I'm not sure how you could do that... but i feel like that would be wicked cool. MAybe you could see your friends faces like morph into the other writter's faces instead. I know you, get creative.... COOL IDEAS LILLIANA hope i helped the ideas flow through your mind like the cannals in Venice
hahah lillian... i love this!
ReplyDeletei think you should really try and go deep with this idea... like really get them angry becasue they just have such differetn ideas.. this will be sooo good. i think you maybe should persue what nina said but then maybe it should be deeper then just simplicty and technology.. somethihng taht relates to you.
its gonna be great!
