"Journal Writing" on The Myth of Doomed Kids by Bella DePaulo

I grew up with my parents divorcing when  I was 9 years old. I choose to live with my father in a single parent household. I would go visit my mother, she had remarried so I guess you can say it was a two parent household my mother and step-father. When I turned 12 my aunt came to live with my dad and I so I guess you can say it was a parent and relative household. DePaulo's characterization of my family is agreeable and I do believe it to be fair. She brings up some strong points about that there is not much of a difference between some of the data that was presented. But for myself I can say I did not fall under these statistics at all. Like I stated in the beginning I lived with my father and a relative and I never had an issue with drugs and or alcohol in my life and never will.

" Journal Writing" on Vampires Never Die by Gullermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

I do not care to watch any television show , movie, or read a book about vampires. The stories do not interest me at all. I think it is crazy how all the people go ga-ga over these vampire roles. The reason they do not interest me is because there just not belivable the story line goes to far off what may have been. To me vampires  have always been so fictional that I really do not care to watch anything about them. I would choose just about anything to watch or read over a vampire story.

"Journal Writing" on I Want a Wife by Judy Brady

The obligations of a husband are to go to work and provide for his family financially, provide health
care, help take care of the children, cook dinner from time to time, help balance the check book, pay
bills, and help clean the house.This is what a husband should do when it comes to providing for his
family. When a wife is incapable of doing all of her duties the husband needs to step up and fill in
where and when needed. These are just some of the obligations of a husband there are so many more
but  I believe a wife's obligations will always exceed that of the husbands.

"Journal Writing" on Michael Pollan's Corn's Conquest

     I wish we as Americans would have left food the way it was all natural. But there is not much I can do about it when I live in a house with little land to grow my own fruits and vegetables. I am not surprised at all Americans are always trying to find a way to make food last longer and have more salt and sugar than there needs to be. I am very concerened especially since I have high blood pressure and diebetes. Pollan has me thinking that I need to check even futher into what I am eating. I already watch what I eat because I must not eat things that have to much salt, sugar, and carbohydrates. I think Pollan has writen something that is informative and that foods in the grocery store are not the best to be eating and we as Americans need to be more thoughtful to what we are putting into our bodies.

"Journal Writing" on Linnea Saukko's How to Poison the Earth

     I have used satire when it comes to making my bed. I believe why should you make your bed if your just going to sleep in it again. There should be no one who walks in my room except me and I think that not making my bed is OK. I am the only one who sleeps in my bed so it really does not get messy therefore it does not need to be made. I know that making my bed is not necessary because it does not hurt anyone by not making it. It only makes it easier to get into when going to sleep.
