Omar: The next time you're in a public place such as a coffeehouse, park, or a store observe the people around you. Pick a person, couple, or a group and imagine what their lives might be like.

    I picked a person I saw at the physical therapist. She was a middle aged woman who did not look very happy. I believe that she lived in the north at the beginning of her life but then moved down to the south for her husband's job and wasn't happy since it was so much hotter. Everytime it gets hot she gets grumpy and mad that she lives in Louisiana.
    She also has  two children who are both in college. She misses them terribly and wants them to move back. She had just bought a dog and found out she was allergic to it but she doesn't want to give it away since it such sweet animal . She is going to live with her allergy.

Writing Center

     I went to the writing center for the literary analysis. I don't ever know where to put commas when I am writing so I wanted to focus on that. It was really helpful because the person told me what I did most often and for me to look for that again. I also wanted to look at my word choice for a couple of the sentences.
     Even though I liked it so much, I don't think I will go back more than the one time required next semester because now that I know what I tend to miss a lot I can focus on those things since I know how to edit a little bit better now. The writing center is a very good resource for the schol because it really does help.
