Thesis statement: Contrary to some beliefs, pipelines benefit far more people than a bike paths, it will stimulate the economy and make a more attractive climate for energy companies and the community.

      -better for the environment

3.Pipeline in the world

      -Environment

6.Pipelines Vs. Bike path
      -Graph of users on bike path
      -Why the pipeline would make more sense 

7.Why the bike path would make an ideal place for the pipeline.
      -there is already a place for it
      -The bike path cuts from the coast to Discovery Bay 










So this my outline for my final essay, i know this is kinda of a controversial issue but it is only writing! so don't take any of what i say to personally or to your heart. I love hearing why people think that a pipeline is a bad thing (it helps in my writing) so let me hear all your comments in the comment section :) don't be afraid of offending me.

Blog Post #4 ( 29er vs. 27.5er}

     My next essay will be comparing 2 different Mountain bike wheel sizes, 29" wheels and 27.5" wheels. the purpose of this essay will be to show the differences and similarities between these two wheel sizes and hopefully help any one make a decision that has had trouble deciding which of the two types to get. I know there are a lot of discussions out there on this topic but i feel like i can really make a good case on it due to personal experience that i have had. I love mountain biking and i look forward to doing research on a topic that i love participating in.

Blog Post #3

    Sommers argues in her essay "Men Its Their Nature" that society is trying to promote sameness between the sexes and that to do so goes against the genetic make up of a male, Sommers says "the entire anthropological record offers not a single example of a society were there is sameness between the sexes" (367) She is also trying to to get her audience convinced that we should instead start empowering "healthy masculinity"(367) things like codes of honor and good sportsmanship and live up to the male stereotype.


    Judy Brady writes in her article "I Want A Wife"(360) that men think of women as things that do not have feelings or motivations but instead are responsible adults that should remain faithful to their husbands. Basically what Brady is trying to say is that she feels that wives are the most responsible members in the household and that they shoulder all of the family's needs and then some.


     I chose to write my essay on "Men Its Their Nature"(Sommers365) because i felt that it had more to say. Now dont think im sexist, but i feel that in Sommers article there are issues that i would rather write about then in Brady's. For example that society is trying to make males have more feminine qualities.

1. He (Peter F.Martin) says in his piece "Destroyed" most athletes now a days are taking "juice" and therefore cheating, but they are not cheating in their sport, if not cheating them selves and suffering the consequences.( The Bedford Reader, 580)

2.Peter F. Martin says that steroids are the true threats to sports and their players, they challenge the ideals and their audiences aren't to happy about it.(The Bedford Reader, 582)

3.one of my favorite quotes from Destroyed was:

         

                     "Zeus,  one can imagine, was no fan of artificial enhancers. He liked his athletes natural,                       apparently so much that even clothing was off-limits" (The Bedford Reader 581)
