"Bombs Bursting In Air"

Bombs bursting in air talks about the fragility of life and the tragic things that happen. For instance, the author a somewhat mothering tone has two kids, sick family relatives a best friend that died in her sleep and an old highschool clown that was in depression that shot himself. All varying realities of tragedies that happen that show the true fragility of life and how sacred and precious it is. Especially from a patriotic sense symbolically in the end.

Process Analysis

"Process Analysis" is simply carrying out instructions such as reading the back of a box for a recipe and following through with a process step by step. According to the book, "The Longman Reader," the Ninth Edition, "A process analysis is a technique that explains the steps or sequence inivolved in doing something." "Instructions on a federal tax form or a recipe in a cookbook are all good examples." When you complete a process and break it down into step by step it then becomes a Process Analysis and in writing this is a very important aspect to understand when completing a paper on it.

No Class Wednesday..

Today I remembered that there is no class and that I need to wait for my conference on Friday at 12:00. There is no class this Wednesday or Friday giving me time to work on my draft. My paper is on the Hardees commercial/video I saw at Hardees with Three Doors Down "Let me by myself," and Geico and the Caveman.
