Purpose

Purpose

            I never really thought of myself as much of a writer. In fact I never really enjoyed writing. Unless the writing somehow could be related to me, which it usually didn’t, I was never really that interested in it. While I always throughout grade school completed my essays and writing assignments, it was never anything I could put 110 percent in because more often than not it just wasn’t that interesting. I’m sure somewhere in the world some wants to write a fourteen page paper on the French Revolution but I can guarantee you that, that person isn’t me.

            In my first college English class, Professor Mundy allowed us much more freedom in an n English class than I was ever used to. I was allowed to write about whatever I choose and that is exactly what I did and I think the result show. Below I wrote four essays on topics that are very important to me. I wrote about basketball, baseball, my most significant literacy moment as well as kids changing the world with their inventions based off of technology.

            I am very passionate about my sports and my two favorite sports are baseball and basketball, in that order. I felt the two topics involving those two sports were very important and needed to be talked about. Baseball is a game that is expanding to Latin America amongst other places, very quickly. The World Baseball Classic definitely helped that but I think what helped most of all, is in other countries players such as Ichiro in Japan are starting to come play Major League Baseball in the United States of America. People who are fans of Ichiro back in Japan now start following him along in American newspapers and on TV and soon they want a subscription to mlb.tv. Basketballs lockout was a huge problem. A problem that appeared to get worse and worse by the day until the two sides resolved its issues in early December. It is a huge relief knowing we get to see basketball again.

            My other two essays were about my most important literacy moment in my literacy autobiography and a review on some young kids who are making great inventions involving technology that most people couldn’t have dreamed of. My literacy moment was very significant for me and changed the way I will always view school forever. The film cultural artifact essay is where I talk about the movie the Social Network and compare Mark Zuckerberg situation to a bunch of aspiring young kids with great ideas for new products. What do all these kids have in common? They all become millionaires. Want to know more? You will have to keep reading to find out on “A Inman Culture”
