Research Paper

When I started writing my research paper, I though that I wouldn’t finish it. I had not had any experience in an English research before. However, Mrs. Azimi has given us specific directions, so I have learned from picking the topic to writing revision. Especially, the librarian instruction was really helpful to find sources.

I wanted to change my topic, business writing, just right before submitting a first daft due to the fact that it was difficult to find research sources. I am glad that I did not change the topic and finished well. I believe that this research experience will help me later.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

On a Valentine’s Day, Joel Barish takes a train and meets Clementine Kruczynski by chance. Although they do not know each other before, they feel attraction and fall in love for a short time. However, they have the history; they loved and don’t have memories of that they were together. After heartbreaking experience with Clementine, Joel decides to erase his memories through the company which specializes in a medical program can erase specific memories. Clementine has undergone a medical procedure, too. While Joel watches his memories of her fade way, he realizes that he loves her, and don’t want to loose her.

Even though he or she is a heartbreaker of you, we cannot forget the special memories with him and her. The memory at the frozen Charles River is unforgettable for Joel and Clementine. When they bring up the memory, their hearts are sinking with pain; they are in love although they cannot be together. Joel cannot allow separating the memory from her, and same as Clementine. Therefore, they choose extreme way that erases all memories when they loved. It would take time to forget somebody who loved. We need time to fade away or overlap with new memories and experiences. However, there is a chance to be not able to forget forever when you are really in love. I believe that you will meet and love again someday like Joel and Clementine. Real love is the eternal sunshine of the our lives.

Research Experience

I would like to research about types of business writing. End of this semester, I will take a business writing exam in order to start the MBA program. It will be a big challenge for me. That is the why my research topic is about business writing: analyze and prepare for the examination. Moreover, I believe that this research is helpful for my classification writing skill as well as for comparison skill.

I have put effort into find sources of research paper. So far, I have found main book, journal, and professional magazine article. Especially, the librarian instruction we had before was very useful because I took advantage of finding worthy sources.

The problem is that it is hard to figure out which material has correct information and is authorized by professional. However, I have improved critical analysis throughout prepare for research paper.

"A More Perfect Union"

Since Senator Barack Obama started his presidential campaign, he has brought a lot of controversial. The main reason is that he is black. The other candidates and media make big issue about racism. However, I respect him because he does not lose his focus.

His speech "A More Perfect Union" March 18 in Philadelphia is very persuadable in many ways. Sen. Obama says that we the people, in order to form a more perfect union. The reality is that U.S. is not perfect yet. There are many problems we have: a declining economy, two wars, and a health care crisis. These ones are hot issues that we have to solve. As he says, if we focus on what we did in the past, we cannot overcome our problems now. We need a power of unity not separating by ethnicity.

Sen. Barack Obama is not afraid of facing his background. Lately, he is in difficulty because of his pastor Reverend Wright’s saying. Although he does not agree with the idea of pastor, he embraces that these people including his grand mother who had fear of African American are a part of him.

Sen. Obama’s speech is wonderful and touchy, but it seems hard to make a real. This is an advantage and disadvantage on the same time. I would like to see dream comes true.

Free Video-on-Demand Cable Service Decision of ABC

I am a big fan of the LOST, so I have watched these ABC television series since season 1. When I miss some episodes, it is hard to catch up the story! Thus, I prefer watch the Lost with DVD.

Lost has been at the forefront of new television distribution a method. It was one of the first series issued through Apple's iTunes service. Also, since Season 2, new episodes have been available for download the day after on ABC website. One step forward, ABC says that Lost and Desperate Housewives will release for free video-on-demand cable services.

I think that ABC made a good decision. Nowadays, traditional television programs are threatened by new technology such as internet broadcast. If ABC keeps its traditional way and not to change, there is no future for ABC any more. Video-on-demand cable service is a clever choice for ABC because it makes viewers watch TV again. Actually, many people feel more convenient and comfortable watching program on TV than internet. If there are proper systems to catch viewers’ attention and satisfaction, people will come back to their television.

Jealousy and Envy

I have an argument with my friend last night. I was talking about how my girl friend was nice, but he felt that I was jealous her. Jealousy typically occurs when a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. Jealousy and envy is related each other, however, they are pretty different, also.

Jealousy concerns something one has and is afraid of loosing, while envy concerns something one does not have and either wants to acquire. I admit that I envy her, but not jealous. I believe that both jealousy and envy are more self-love than love. It is more important to love my friend than to envy her. If I have healthy self-esteem, I may not envy her.

Love and Respect

“My boyfriend has to have Brad Pitt’s lovely eyes, Matt Damon’s perfect body and Anderson Cooper’s intelligent.”

I am used to saying this to my friends. But reality is totally different. :) I was looking for the “perfect” boyfriend, but it was impossible! I have learned my lessons. If he is a very good-looking, usually he is a player. If he is so smart, he tries to figure out what is the advantage or not. I want to be in love without reasons! I know it is a quiet dangerous thinking, but I have one important value to meet a special one. I realize that I have to find someone who can “trust.” Love is relationship based on the faith and confidence. Also, love and respect are main points of the successful relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. If my boyfriend lies to me, our relationship might be over.
