For my visual argument, I plan to use a newsletter to layout my argument on college and childsupport. I felt that a newsletter would be the best format for my visual argument. My newsletter will be seperated into two subheading, each explaining two different reasons for my argument. It will be a mininum view of how my research paper will be laid out. The newletter will contain photos of colleges with captions written underneath.

For the multi - tasked viual argument assignment, I plan to tackle the assignment mostly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have very long classes so it will hard for me to work on the project like I want to . By Ocotber 30, I plan to have the visual argument completed. I will mostly work on the visual argument during the weekend of Ocotber 26- October 28. On the following Monday, I plan to revise the visual argument and make any required changes. Starting November 2, I will concentrate mainly on the research argument. I plan to spend a lot of time in the library preparing my research for the paper. After gathering all the required research, I will start writing the actual paper. From November 15 - the 19th, I will use those days to revise and edit my paper. I would like to give mself more than one day to revise the paper. On November 20, I will turn in my paper to professor Karl Fornes.

Idea of the "American" family

The Color of Water presents two very different versions of a “family.” Consider McBride’s family, McBride’s mother’s family, the family you discuss in the Narrative Definition, and the family presented in the advertisement you chose to analyze. How do the representations of families differ? How do they fit within the idea of an “American” family? Which one best represents what we mean by “family values”? Why?

McBride's family was the family that stayed very close together. Their mother wanted all of her kids to suceed in life and they did just that. She encourged them to always protect each other and never let any one harm their other sibiling. His mother had to raise her kids on her own, true enough the stepfather came home on the weekends but most of the responsibilty was left up to the mother. In my narrative draft, my family wouldn't be described as the "American Family". My mother and father are not together, but they work togehter to raise their two beautiful children. My parents always encourage us to do our best and aim to be successful in life. Eventhough, my family are not considered to be the "American" family, they are a loving family. The family in my advertising anaylsis are a family that comes together in a time of need. When the girl was believed to be using drugs the family came together to support the young girl. They are a family that have a few problems, but out of the three families they would be considered the "American" family.
