Global warming has been going on for a long period of time. Recently, it has been much worse than we’ve thought. The average temperatures have been above normal and more of the arctic is melting away. We have tried to make an Eco-friendly version of things that add more Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. Smart cars, new ways for power and recycling have been proven to be helping and Eco-friendly. Although they are new, they will have a positive outcome for the environment.
Cars today produce greenhouse gas that has a negative effect toward our environment. Smart cars are run off of electricity and a very small amount of gas. This minimizes the amount of pollution that they cause. They also require less material to build. All electric cars have been starting as well. Some are the Tesla Model S, and Nissan Leaf. For power, we have been trying to start new more eco-friendly ways on how to get power and not affect our environment. Solar power is a source of energy people can use with solar panels. They will use it for energy that can be used for lights or appliances. Wind turbines will help power generators to help create electricity. These two have been helping to go into an eco-friendly for powering houses. For a while we have been just throwing our waste out and it has been affecting our world in a negative way. Recycling can help save wild animals and Mother Nature from getting in a worse state. When in landfills, plastic can take a long period of time to biodegrade. It ranges from about 450 years to even 1000 years. Recycling will help out in trying to stop landfills and help out our environment. Because of Global warming, we have found good ways to try and help slow it down and prevent it. It will take a long period of time and effort to try and stop global warming but it could happen. Everyone has to take their part and stay with it. If not then our environment would change and could affect wild animals and possible cause some to extinct. Hopefully in the future we can put an end to what we do that causes pollution to affect Global warming.

Trump has made many promises during his campaign for the election, and is still for them today. He would say whatever it took to go against other republican nominees, and Hillary Clinton. Some of what he said he would do, he has already denied in his first one hundred days in office. While running against Clinton, trump had kept referring to it being a rigged election. He had said he promised he would do many things if he won the election. One is that he promised he would hardly take vacations while he is president. So far he has gone golfing much more than expected. Another is involving ISIS and taking them out very quickly. During his campaign he had said that we would bomb them basically until they’re dust. A third thing that he has said goes against what’s been proven for years now, global warming. He still says that it is all a hoax, even though we all know it really is happening. The day after the election I was shocked to hear that he had won. I still can’t believe he is where he is now. It made me nervous on exactly what could, and more likely would happen during the next four years. With what he has done so far, I am surprised that they haven’t really tried to get him impeached at all yet. I’m more concerned over if he gets rid of the Affordable Care Act. It has saved many people since it had been passed while Obama was in office, and now Trump wants to get rid of it. He also said that he would start “Trump Care” which would be much worse than how “Obama Care” for us right now. For my life, I know how it can be to go through tough times medically, and some people rely on “Obama Care” to afford it. Without it some people could end up dying, all because of Trumps move to get rid of it. Hopefully within the next four years he will get impeached, but if he is not then who knows what could really happen to us. One thing I do know is that people will continue to protest him and some of his choices during his time in office. For the people that voted for him, I hope in the next four years they will understand why they shouldn’t have supported Trump. I’m worried about what could happen to us if he pushes it too far with North Korea and even with Russia. One wrong move and who knows what could happen. http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/politics/tracking-trumps-promises/ The other day I had two options for what I could do: Go visit my grandmother on my mother’s side, or go visit my grandmother on my father’s side. I did not want to make the choice because either way I’ll have some guilt. I decided to go with my mother for a visit, although I had wanted to go with my father as well. While we spent most of the day over there I kept thinking about my choice. It’s moments like these that I always hate being the one that makes the choice.
Later that evening around dinner time I had asked my father if they were back home yet. When he told me they were I had took a walk for a couple blocks and went to go visit him and my little sister, as well as their dog. When I got to the house I had went straight to the basement and nobody else besides them knew I was there. I had spent almost an hour there just talking and messing around with their dog and my little sister. Everyone was surprised that I decided to come over out of nowhere. When I had sat down to talk to them, their dog had done his usual and started to lick me. The one thing this dog does that the other two here do not do at all. Everyone, including myself was laughing as that happened. After I had gone upstairs and said hello to everyone else I started to get ready to leave. On my way out my father had started to walk with me up till the main intersection. That’s when I gave him a hug and thanked him for allowing me to come for a visit. Coming up when I will be at my grandmothers for a couple days i will more likely walk back over there again at least once. After a long day in school I had felt very tired. I felt completely exhausted as though I was going to fall asleep any second now. I had slowly started to walk up the stairs as the sun was blazing. When I reached the top I had felt a relief. After such a long day at school it had finally ended. I opened the door and immediately feel a blast of cooler air. To me, it was something I was waiting for throughout the whole day. Then I heard someone in the background call out to me, “Hey it’s the bubba.” It was my grandfather, James Charles Edwards or as we would all call him JC. Although I had just gotten home from school, he would always cheer me up.
•Question #1: How does this episode fit into the narrative mode?
It is in first person form. It would show exactly how he feels for all that was happening, whether it is good or bad. •Questions #2: How does Mallman's story connect to the hiraeth story you are writing in this class? Consider his discussions about home and childhood. Both involve something that we enjoyed. Whether it was a hobby or a person, the way he enjoyed doing what he liked to do, it reminds me of how enjoyed I felt seeing someone. •Question #3: What major ideas/themes from this episode connect to ideas/themes from our composition course? Consider Mallmann's argument about composing a good dish, examining his life environments, and being productive. He stays where he is at and will do things that he likes to do when he chooses. For the people that join him, he tries to teach them how to do it and enjoy that moment. It shows that he can get along with others and willing to teach them a little about what he does. The second semester has gone on for a couple months now, but feels like it has flown by. So far throughout this semester, there have been some ups and downs, related to class or things outside of college that could have some effect toward me. The three classes I’ve had have been going good and one of the three is my first online course. I was kind of nervous to try an online course but after a few months I’ve liked it and considering that for some time in the future. The other two classes I have had started off a little more on the down side for me. In my opinion, writing to me is something that I personally feel like when I write I don’t get to the main point, no matter how many times I look over it. Now for my on campus tech class, it was one that I wish is not required at all no matter what major anyone is trying for, just like with a class I plan on getting over with next semester since it is one thing that I hate doing; Public Speaking. This tech class is just the basics on the computers now a days and getting to know the basics. Before this year started I did not take any technological class once in high school. When this semester started I was nervous for it and how the class would be. Now I’m starting to enjoy it, but would still rather not have it at all. I’ll just be glad to get it out of the way and move on once this semester is over. Overall to me, the classes for this semester have gone well and, even with a few struggles, I have enjoyed each one.
