Chapter 3 : The Art of Quoting

To adequately frame a quotation, you need to insert it into what we like to call a “quotation sandwich,” with the statement introducing it serving as the top slice of bread and the explanation following it serving as the bottom slice.

Example:

X states, “not all steroids should be banned from sport.”

According to X, “­­­­­­­­­-­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­__________________.”

Templates for explaining quotations

The one piece of advice about quoting that our students say they find most helpful is to get in the habit of following every major quotation by explaining what it means, using a template like one of the ones below.

Basically, X is warning that the proposed solution will only make the problem worse.

research topic

There are plenty of trash around the Bronx corners, but some say they cannot find a place to recyclage. That is can be toxic and affect our health. That problem we face by the abundance of trash on our streets, our neighborhood, forest and oceans have recently become a topic in the class. And that takes me back to my research topic.

Since 1881 the department of sanitation collected garbage, recycles, glass and paper each day. From house and institutions between 4pm and midnight. But the city still has trash because we have more fast food restaurants as, dunkin donuts, Mac Donald, starbucks coffee, and the vendors on the streets. And the customers throw the cans, the plastic bag and the rest of the food on the way.

We deserve a clean environment to live in, because it can affect our health through the intolerable smell, animal corpses and poor air quality. As diseases, cardiovascular, infections and epigenetic processes. Over that, it can develop skin cancer. With regard to the rate of respiratory diseases and asthma with exposure to toxic air contaminants. And it can cause the risk of premature birth to pregnancy women.

After my research, I learned how the trash affects our hearth. We can help our community and the department of sanitation to keep our city clean.

Project day film 

Today in the d building at 2:00 I went to an event  with my bls class that honored Tori Morrison. Toni morrison was a was an American author, editor, and professor.  A lot of her works revolve around black women defining their roles and striving to survive in a male dominated society.

They played a film was basically about words having power and how she grew up. People that knew her explained her books and her talents. They showed old pictures of tori and others from back in the day when she was little. She explained that she has had people ask her why she doesn’t write about white people. She made sure that white people were not dominate in  any of her books. Tori wrote her books to speak not for the people but to the people. She did not exclude anyone out or in.

 

Research proposal

New York City  one of the most beautiful and visited  cities in the world still in construction ever since. In the heart of Manhattan, where people are getting all big impression of the city is in construction with road and new building.

We already know that the improvement of the modernization comes with a lot of changes. for example, landfill are coming up with new design and construction for human well-being because of the impact the built environment has on us. For the last ten years, the remarks are that the city of New York changed a lot with design building. According to the “Next environment revolution” the city will continue changing because the population are growing, so there will be the need of places, buildings, playgrounds to accommodate the population’s well being, however, those need to be affordable for everyone or what going to be the purpose of those new building. the middle and lower class facing housing crisis because their income can not afford the rent. imagine homeless are everywhere in the city of New York and I think the cause of that can the lack of affordable housing. so affordable need to be created more .

Research Proposal

What I’m mapping about is how the amount of single mothers keep raising during time in the Bronx. Being a single mother is not as easy as it looks, especially when there’s no instructions or manual to follow. Single women are more common in 2019, and the sources for them to know how to continue are not good enough for every different type of women. In the other hand as a single mother there is not enough sources of help for us to keep going as we have a regular life, which include working the amount of hours necessary to maintain a stable economy, or being able to become a professional without forcing herself to much. In this research I want to show how powerful women can be without having the help we wish to have. However, I also want to map how the help of single mothers have not improved as much we need to increase so we could make the life of a single mother a little easier. I also want to find out what are the people or what we could call “supportive group” doing to help them out, including how the government is improving the help for single women. Me as a single mother wants to feel that even that I’m alone but also have the help of my mother to take care of my baby, that other single mothers have more sources to get the necessary help so they could give a better future for their kids.

Child Poverty

In today’s world, the number of poverty is huge all across the world yet people are doing nothing much about it. Specifically talking about Child poverty in Africa and India.  It  is a global issue where the nations and the leaders of the powerful countries should take an action. However, they have failed and children are still dying from poverty. In my digital research, I  will be doing research on “child poverty in sub saharan Africa.” I will be mappings sub Sahara Africa’s countries by showing whether the rate of children has decreased or increased in the past 10 years. Also, I will find out what people and the nations did and doing about this issue Wether it has positive impact or not? I choose this topic because after seeing numerous homeless people in New York, I notice how much they struggle everyday by not being able to have a home to live and food to eat and it is violation of human right. Considerig this issue, think about the millions of children and families die due to poverty. The fact that the children in africa  are living with poverty and dying made me think how it is ok for innocent kids to die just like that and have not future? These thoughts made to want do research and find a ways to stop these children from dying.
