FRD- Quick Write.

The speech "The Four Freedoms" by Franklin Delano Roosevelt was giving to the members of the Congress and FDR proposed four fundamental freedoms that humans everywhere in the world ought to enjoy. Those four freedoms were 1.) Freedom of speech and expression 2.) Freedom of religion 3.) Freedom from want 4.) Freedom of fear. All four of these points were part of FDR thesis. His thesis was not just a one sentence thesis, but rather a whole speech that was proving his point. FDR's thesis made the audience think about what he was saying and keep them interested. He also used facts to support the main focus of the paper. It started off by giving history of the America and the numerous wars that it has been a part off. Also included in his speech was patriotism that he knew would help motivate the Americans and prepare them for what was next to come. FDR's speech evolved from a historical facts in the beginning, to a full out American plan.

So far in Comp 105 I have learned how to become a better college writer. I am starting to understand how to write more like a college student rather than a high school student. One of the major differences is the format of writing. High school was all about the five paragraph paper. With an introduction, three body paragraph and a conclusion. College papers are more of a analysis rather then a summary. Also i have learned how to be a better reader. What i mean by this is writing quick little notes on the pages that have great importance. Even just having the book writing analytically has also taught me a thing or two. It showed me different ways to analyze parts of books, and also showed me new methods. Also just being in this class i have obtained so much information about the Holocaust. There is still so much that I want to learn. I still need to get a better understanding of what a college paper should look and sound like. Oh and this class has also taught me better time management. So far this class has been a good experience. This has been my first college writing class, so it has been an adjustment. But for the most part I enjoy it and like the pace of the class.

The passage that i chose came from the Book Thief and it the part when Hans is telling Liesel about Max. This so far has been one of most important scenes. This scene kind of sets up the rest of the book. What Hans is telling Liesel is a very important secret. You can tell how serious this secret was because Hans was threatening to burn Liesels books if she tells anyone, and we all know that Liesel loves books. If Liesel tells anyone the whole book could take a turn for the worst. Liesel's foster parents would be taken away and she would be separated from her family. The trust that Hans has in Liesel is evident in this scene because this secret could cost Hans and Rosa their lives if anyone finds out. It takes a lot to trust a 13 year old girl with a secret that could be life threatening.
