ENGL 112 Literary Essay

I've chosen to use the author Ann Rule. She has written many non fiction books on true crime events. I've found her writting to be very interesting. She is able to show the feeling and emotions of both the victim and perpetrator. The two books that I've recently read are Green River, Running Red and Small Sacrifices.

ENGL 112 Week 10

My field research consisted of interviewing students who attend schools with a uniform requirement; these students were from a local charter school. I also interviewed students who attend schools that uniforms were not required; these students were from a local high school and middle school. One question that I asked of the students who were not required to wear uniforms was, if they seen an advantage and what advantage they feel it would have. I was somewhat surprised, in learning that the consistent answer was that it would relieve some of the peer pressure they felt with regards to “what’s in fashion”. The majority of the research I’ve done has pointed to the safety issue that wearing a uniform to school brings. In hind site I wish I would have conducted a survey to better illustrate the advantages of wearing a school uniform has.

ENGL 112 (Late week 9)

I have just about completed my field interviews. I am still lacking the faculty member from the charter school. The interview date had to be changed to 04/06. My outline is complete and with a completed thesis statement. I've started working on my draft, mostly following my outline. I've also explored a couple of other websites that have information pertaining to my topic.
