#14 The End of SEINFELD...

Remembering back when this semester first started, and realizing that this English class was going to be based on the sitcom Seinfeld really put doubts in my mind. How can a any class of any short base themselves with a tv show such as Seinfeld? Well, to my surprise there is an enormous amount of information that students can really study from, and create argumentative writing to. Digging deep into the characters of Seinfeld, and how every single joke or phrase meant a great significance led me to practice the argumentative writing style with the essays and the weekly blogs that were turned in. George’s character, the significance of the black and white cookie, Kramer’s eccentric personality, etc...are just a few of the subjects one can write about. With much practice, I realize how a good thesis and paper should be written. The thesis must be clear and understandable, and with everything I write I must relate all the times to it. I have also learned to get start to the point when writing an argumentative paper. If I want to get my point across then I must state what I will be writing about, use examples to support my statement, acknowledge on how some may argue against my views, but remind them of the major picture I am trying to get across. Thanks to Dr. Marshall, the many essay practices and blogs, and even to Seinfeld....I believe I will take everything I have learned and incorporate it to my daily life.
