 October 30, 2024      In our real world, we use rhetoric when we don't even realize it. Laura Bolin Carroll, author of Backpacks vs. Briefcases, talks a lot about implementing rhetoric in everyday life. "Chances are you have grown up learning to interpret and analyze these types of rhetoric. They become so commonplace that we don't realize how often and how quickly we are able to perform this kind of rhetorical analysis." (Carroll, 48).      The rhetorical context of criminal justice is important to any career in the path of law. Analyzation is consequential in criminal justice degree careers for the reasons that you have to come in contact with all sorts of people. For example, networking is a huge part of it; networking will allow you to meet new people who are your higher ups, and will unfold new positions and opportuinities in your career. Not only is communication and analyzation crucial in the sense of networking, but also talking to criminals, ...

Yvonne Settles October 24, 2024      Using outside sources in an academic standpoint in a writing class can be extremely useful. Not only does it give extra substantive ideas, but it gets other published articles more reads. Citing outside sources in an article or essay or any piece of writing allows for the reader to trust the author more, and it gives the idea that the topic has been greatly researched by the author, making the author, and the article very credible. Credibility in the writing world is very important, as it showcases how much an author worked on getting the reader the most, and honest information they can. In my Doc1, I used at least one outside source in each paragraph that gave a different solution for my problem that I came up with, using Google Gemini's help, in my essay for college students. As for high school students, Mike Bunn in "How to Read Like a Writer" gave many ideas on how reading like a writer makes for a better writer. 

 October 16, 2024     The topic I have chosen to write my essay on are the struggles to balance school and work. We all have busy lives, and it feels as if it is all crumbling apart after you graduate high school. In my essay, I hope to relay information on how to better juggle working at your job, doing school work, and maintaining your social life, but not just first-year college students like myself, but anyone in school struggling to keep a healthy balance of all the things you must accomplish in life.      I hope my essay can help anyone that reads it, and helps myself as I write it. I chose to do this topic because it is something I actually struggle with. While I feel as if I am getting better with the whole college thing, I hope to be improved even more as I read new articles, and write solutions for it. 

 October 2024 Fall 2024 Post 01: Intro to Yvonne Settles Hey guys, welcome to my blog post! My name is Yvonne Settles, and I just graduated from High School May 2024 in the middle Georgia area. I am a criminal justice major taking online classes for MGA. I chose to do this because I thought it would be easier to juggle working and still getting a degree. I was quick to find out that is not true. While I enjoy most of my assignments, I did not enjoy asking my boss to cut my hours so I can focus on doing my schoolwork. Though, I can't be too mad because this is what will help me go down the path I really want to in life. I'm working less now because of school, but it will have all been worth it when I'm some sort of investigator or detective in a couple years (and it will be a lot longer than just a couple years haha.)  While most of my days are filled with working at my job, or completing my online assignments, I have a few other hobbies as well. I love painting. Anything ar...
