Hey, This is my wiki page where I am going to keep all of the research that I do in alll of my classes, and an overall record of almost all of my school things. I originally had kept my short story on this page, but it cluttered it up to much, so I created the following link to allow people to read my short story. Here is the link:my short story.

Hello, Now I am starting research on my great American author (Isaac Asimov). On this page I will keep a record of links that I have used in my research. I might (if I so chose) keep the computerized notes that I take on Isaac Asimov. At the moment I just have a couple of links, though you can expect a whole lot more linds and notes. If you have anything to contribute on Isaac Asimov or my short story, please put it in the discussion section. Thanks!!! sincerely, Qwerty638 [|Isaac Asimov 1] [|Isaac Asimov] [|Isaac Asimov 3] [|Isaac Asimov 4]

Hello, Those previous links were just internet sources. I know that we have to have more than internet sources. So before Friday this week, I shall be going to the library for my book sources. That will result in the next entry of my notes on Isaac Asimov. In the mean time. These are the notes from the internet sources that I got from google. They are going to make up most of my recources. These will be cited correctly on my report (no worries Mrs. Lloyd) which is why I am keeping the addresses. That way I can go back and source them as apposed to having to source them right now.

Hello, Those were the notes from my electronic/internet sources. I realize that in the previous letter, I said that I would use non-digital sources, so this paragraph contains the books that I will use. I will not cite them right know, as that would take more time right know, and it also feels rather good to have to work intensely in the end as apposed to spreading it out across all of the time. To conclude (because I can imagine that it must become very boring to read all of these very boring letters).

Socratic Seminar Response: Barrak Obama is a president that is probably going to be remembered throughout the ages. This will not only be because he was the first african american president elected, but also because he was part of the historic election between the oldest candidate, the first women candidate, and the first african american candidate. But behind the face of the president, there lies a position that has certain tags attached to it. These tags appear to be (at first glance) the power and presitge of winning the election. One level deeper you find the weight and importance of being commander in chief. Under that, you find that the president is just a person to blame about how the country is doing.

When history is observed, this proves to be true. Look at the Cuban Missile Crisis. President John F. Kennedy did a lot of work to keep the missiles on the ground and to keep the peace in cuba. But it appears that credit is given exclusevly to him. Then, if you look at the Watergate scandal, President Nixon appears to get all of the blame for this scandal. He might be partly to blame but none (comparitevly) of the blame. And more recently, President George Bush. When the United States decided to invade Iraq, the general public blamed only what they could blame easily: The President. All of these examples and many more are examples of the fact that the president is ultimately a persn for the country to blame for the mistakes and successes of the country.

Hello, This is me again. Sorry for my lack of activity, as many of you have experienced Wikispaces was not the center of my universe so I did not pay a large ammount of attention to it until it became more crucial to the work I am doing in LAS. Anyway, I have recently started a project on how religion affects views of Utopia. For my primary sources, I have chosen to email the Pope, the Dalai Lama, a Rabbi, and an Atheist. Along with these, I was wondering if you could tell me how you think religion has affected your views of utopia. I may be sending out a survey using Survey Monkey. Please answer this to the best of your ability, or give your answer in the comments area. Thanks! Sincerely, Qwerty638
