Proposal 2

For my definition essay I would like to write about “rasta”. Some people think that the only reason people live the rasta lifestyle is to be part of a drug using community. I would like to prove in my essay that there is a much deeper meaning and purpose to live this lifestyle then only the drug aspect of it. Even though the majority of people that practice the rasta way of life smoke weed, there are many other reason why this is a major lifestyle and why people choose to dedicate their life to it.

Pool Buddy

            I feel like this writing was written for anyone who has every gone to the community pool everyday with a friend or anyone who has wanted to. This is also a writing about two girls that are friends and they make a pack, which one of the girls breaks.  So anyone who has ever felt like that would also fall into this category of people reading this essay.  I did not find this essay terribly exciting. I could not relate to it in anyway and found it bland. There was no action or excitement. There was just a listening of what she had to do to find a “Pool Buddy”, how to not get burnt, what they wore and how she ended up ditching her friend.

Nice Doggy

            This essay was written for anyone how have ever been upset or hurt and wanted the perfect best friend to cheer them up. Yet again like the other one I did not relate to this in anyway. It was mostly directed to girls and how lucky this person was to have a dog that was able to perform all these amazing tasks. I feel like the author stretched her imagination a little too much to write this essay. There is no way any animal could perform these tasks and it does not make the reader think at all how they could do this. The reader just simply thinks this story is unbelievable from the start.
