English major for future

Hi everyone. Today I experienced one of the guiding lines to get into English literature major. From the speeches made the English literature program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in a wide-ranging study of literature written in English. Students may experience not only complete coverage of the major periods and genres of English, American literature, but also the variety of critical approaches and concerns that characterize the field today, such as nation, gender, race and sexuality. In addition to researching literary traditions and analyzing works of imagination, such as poetry, drama and fiction, literary studies also focuses on popular culture, oral traditions, folklore, film studies and digital media. Students in the literature programs will be trained to become leading researchers on their fields, conference presentations, publication, job-seeking skills, etc. Beginning immediately, they can get positions as teaching assistants, and thus gain valuable professional experience in a wide variety of classroom situations. I believe that the English major will help me to achieve my goals in a better position. Especially working in a customer service field will help me create a professional language speaking and writing. Thank you Dr. Cooper and all the staff that is involved in the English program teaching.

In this blog i will put some of my research that is describing the bill of rights to be cut off from a single signature that our president decides to add in the future of America. "NDAA." A law that determines each one of as a suspected terrorist which describes also the capture of Zeitoun.

(NDAA) called  The National Defense Authorization Act is a bill that the President of the United States has sign allows anyone including American citizens to be detained indefinitely by the military...no trial, no charges, no day in court. This bill it gives the authority and the power to the President to use Military Force against terrorism. On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the 2012 NDAA, to achieve a new task of lowering the terrorism in the States. This new version of Obama's jurisdiction has violated the rights of visiting or living in the States without having your rights to speak, but if we look at it more closer this issue will see that our President wasn't the one who agreed with terms and condition of NDAA.  Although it is a little disheartening that 93% of the US Senate voted for essentially getting rid of the 5th, 6th, and 7th amendments at least 7 had the guts to vote against it. It is nice to see a mix of Republican, Democrats, and an Independent. Maybe if more voting records were as mixed as this we would have a more functional Congress. In addition, it is nice to see that some Senators still vote based on their convictions. But it's not nice when one of us is taken away with no possibility of heaving a lawyer or even a phone call to the your family.  President Obama seems to be afraid to do anything out of fear of making a mistake, and that has been his biggest mistake. We need an intelligent, well-spoken, and respectful person to lead this nation to great things. We the people must protect our constitutional rights which are now in jeopardy by an act that would effectively declare the government's war on its people.We must peaceably assemble and protest against the National Defense Authorization Ac. This bill is unconstitutional and violates all that this nation has fought for. It would effectively strip our first amendment right to "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," among many other civil rights.

The key word for Erjon and Daouda is " become unstoppable." Our understanding with key word is that for many years the burn of fossil fuel and coil was extremely out of the ordinary. The effect of the greenhouses gases increase the temperature causing the melting of the ice in Arctic. In fact in the passage of The Global Warming Reader James Hansen writes that" rising of the sea level will cause hundred of millions of people will become refugees"(Mckibben 277). Because of the rising sea level millions of us will migrate to other countries that are not affected by the rising of the sea level.
The oceans are saturated because people emit lots of carbon dioxide. From our perspective the only solution is to reduce the burning of the fossil fuel.

he felt that his city "New Orleans" might need him...actually that was true, he was a good support for many people. 

I totally agree with Andreina that he was so attached to his community and his neighbors. For him everyone was family no matter what religion or race they were. A man with a big heart that had lots of care for humans and animals. "Way to go Zeitoun." I am proud of reading and understanding his wills. 

Sandy...

October.29.2012. Braking news for entire New York A tropical storm of category 1 is been headed with 120mp wind straight to Jersey and New York coasts. A braking news that involved the entire U.S government to take the immediate precautions. Hurricane Sandy was estimated of being one the most devastated hurricane compares to Irene which barely hit New York in 2010. Mayor Bloomberg has came out already stating the dangerous of the storm and the evacuation of zone A. This evacuation would include the whole entire lower Manhattan and everything else that flats down of East river also the entire shore of Long Island and State Island, coming down with Jersey shore and Atlantic City. The evacuation had to be done immediately before the sea water rich 16 feet high.

The entire subway line shut down. All the bridges and tunnels were close since 7pm a day before. Many highways closed due to strong winds and heavy rain. All the airports closed, including all the stores and shops. The red alert of Hurricane Sandy was already issued for many New Yorkers to stay inside they’re homes and for many others to evacuate if necessary. Sandy already approached to coasts with a devastated hit.

Thousands of houses destroyed. Devastated damages to subway tunnels and many roads blocked due to flooded streets and falling trees. A total disaster and lost for many areas that surrounds New York, Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island and Atlantic City. Next day woke up and first thing I did I looked out of the window to see what Sandy left behind.

I couldn’t just stay home but I drove in my neighbor streets and all around Queens to see with my own eyes the left behind of the hurricane. I was shocked. Many trees fall on top the houses and cars breaking them just like toys. People with tears in they’re eyes seeing what Sandy did to they’re properties. One hundred people killed from this storm and thousands out of they’re homes. During my class we have talked abut climate change and if is New York prepared for any catastrophic event. Sandy I guess gave us the answer and the conclusion of being hit from a major storm. We are far away of being prepared. I feel shame of my self of living in the most powerful state of the world, suffering the consequences of hurricane Sandy. Is been a week that half of New York is living in dark due to power cut down. Is been a week that we out of the school due to no subway lines to move the students and teachers up and down communities. Is been a week that people are desperate for gas to fill they’re cars and they’re generators. What a shame but I guess Sandy will give to our superiors a lesson to start thinking and preparing for the next hit.

We have to thank you hundreds of police officers and fire mans including the Red Cross, helping thousands from the flooded area. We have to thank you other states that helped with they private companies to help Con Edison bring back the power. As I look around and meditate with myself I thought to Zeitoun which stood behind to protect his house and his work places. As him many people followed the same direction. They stood to they’re houses to save whatever they could from the devastated storm. We are far way of being prepared. If I would be a Mayor of the New York I would start thinking deep how to start preparing ourselves for the next hit. Sandy already showed us the week points so i would start building huge barriers around the city to keep sea level out the tunnels and subway lines. The power lines I would put them into the ground avoiding the wind and the trees falling into them cutting the electricity for weeks. I would also think how to get gas into gas stations avoiding lines of cars waiting for hours which many times end up in fights and hate between drivers. Hurricane Sandy definitely had raised to us a red flag for the next storm. Climate change is really happening. Who knows what is the target for the next time.   

In class Zeitoun

In Dave Eggers book, Kethy  has been described as a be loving mother, that would do whatever it takes to keep her family in safe. Besides that Kathy is showing her humanity to care for others that needs as much help as she does. The difference between Kathy and Zeitoun has shown when they split each other to a different direction. Kethy for the safe of her family and Zeitoun for a new adventure of becoming an explorer. In the passage that Kathy called Zeitoun "Please leave," she said " Tomorrow."(Eggers 89). It makes me understand that Kathy has find out that Zeitoun had save most of they're house stuff, and now she wants him to leave. But Zeitoun has made his mind of staying behind and look after the house. He wanted to be part of the Hurricane by exploring and try to help others with as much as he can.

From the book" Zeitoun", author Dave Eggers, is characterizing two main personalities, which changes from the day that Hurricane Katrina approached to their life. What Eggers is transmitting to us is the importance and the safety of the family rather than work. Eggers describes these unbalanced personality in Zeitoun and his wife Kathy. He describes Zeitoun, a father that would do whatever it takes to see his family happy and healthy. His wife Kathy a mother that is looking after her family also to see her kids growing up 
What i have learned from this book so far is the care of a mother to think of 
What have we learned about Zeitoun and Kathy from the book so far, and how do you think their personalities affected their decisions as Hurricane Katrina approached?

    My name is Erjon and this is my argument about Global Warming that McKibben has written to pursue many facts of Climate Change.

      In his book The Global Warming, Bill McKibben has stood his attention to a major catastrophic issue of Climate Change. Based on his studies and science McKibben, is sending e message to us that the earth temperature is rising little by little and the cause of it is us. We as human being, living in this earth that was create for us to be lived on are creating devastated changes to the main sources of life, air and water. The abuse of it and the burn of fossil oil have made CO2 level rising up which has influence the temperature of the ground. The big one is that McKibben’s call for a “carbon disinvestment” movement aimed at breaking the hammerlock that the fossil cartel has on our civilization is a big step forward. It’s not the only step we need to take but it would make a huge difference. 2°C of warming maximum is the semi official inter governmental global temperature target and it’s extremely, dangerously high. McKibben makes the case here well and briefly, and correctly notes that the ubiquity of support for the 2°C target is a sign of our desperation. 2°C of warming would very likely be a catastrophe. And the way things are going, we’re not going to come anywhere close to holding the 2°C line.

     

       Some people believe the climate data that has been collected is not enough to show a trend in rising global temperatures. Other scientists believe that are signs of global warming, they are not interpreting data with an objective mind. And still others say that global warming is just a natural climate shift and that plants and animals can adapt to such a shift. And it's not just the science that's being debated. Lawmakers are also in disagreement over whether the costs to implement global warming policy outweigh the risks that global warming potentially poses. Many believe legislation could eliminate jobs and even if the United States changes energy policies, it does not guarantee that other countries that pose environmental threats would do the same. Many people assume that Climate Change is just a theory that science has spot it out as commercial purposes, but in reality Climate Change is growing among the earth which has put on alert McKibben and many other sciences to brake open many characteristics that would prove the truth of global warming. Scientists estimate that humans can pour roughly 565 more gig tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by mid-century and still have some reasonable hope of staying below two degrees. His argument against Climate Change has include many politicians that are not taking this issue as a consideration of human being, but just as a business that involves countries that have rich nature sources as fossil oil and natural gases that would raise the profit and the economy up high. From this perspective many politicians are ignoring the fact of Climate Change, because it would cause government money and it would drop the sales of fossil oil with other countries to half.

    

      Many organizations like IPCC in 1995 have concluded that humans were worming the planet and the reasons why are many devastated examples like: 1- Burn of fossil fuel to produce electricity.2- High production of cars running on burning fuel.3- Cut of many trees for business purposes.4- Heavy industries and factories releasing toxic smoke in the air. One the one hand some American geologist hold the opinion that from the calculation of relation between the quantity of carbonic acid in the air and the quantities that are transformed, has raised the ground temperature to that level to raise the sea level by melting the icebergs. According to this view James Hansen also committed a story in New York Times about Climate Change. Right after that he wrote a book called The End of the Nature. Hansen’s been screaming for years that the sky is falling.(http://newsbusters.org/people/james-hansen). He includes the results of year’s high summer temperatures in the States, as well as for the European heat wave of 2003, the Russian heat wave of 2010, and other extreme weather around the globe in recent years.

    

      Apparently we see few people that are aware of this major change to the earth but does everyone knows? We as humans are we prepared to survive to any catastrophic event? We were born in one world. A world we could count on to support us, but now we live on a new world without any assurance. A grate saying for us, to understand that is never late to put out effort to create and build e clean environment which would decrease the CO2 level and have our world balanced again

Based from the reading and the notes that we took during this class i was able to come up with more specific information that would be very value for my blog presentation. I understood that bringing numbers will get my readers easy to understand that how critical the situation will be in 40 years coming. For my blog i was gonna add the financial situation that city officials will face from this catastrophic event. Billions of dollars that city officials would need to cover from this mess but question will come: If U.S is one of the most highest country in debt, how they would cover the whole expenses. Where the money would come from and how.

Blog one

This is one of my blog assignments of ENG 101 regarding the climate change in New York City. In this blog I will discuss the threat and the disaster that our city will face in the future and years coming. And also I will talk about the careless the slow movement that our city officials are doing against this issue

Climate change is one of the most critical issue that world is facing. Raising water, extremely hot weather in many cities and countries, and the melt of ice will create a new evolution of mans kind life. Many cities have already prepared themselves facing the consequences of this climate change but does New York City?
8 million lives are surrounded from water from four sides. Thousands of factories are build next to the shores and thousands of residents will face the deadly wave of the ocean. New York will be drowned in a blink of an eye. Many life’s gone, and the rest of survivors eventually will disappear. The new evolution of New York has start.
I send this message to our officials that are taking this issue slowly. The Major and other city officials have to start preparing and protect us from this catastrophic change. As me and many others will help, but we need city government to start seeing this problem more seriously, before it’s too late.

I totally agree with Susan’s S sarcastic comment when she says :( Romney warned us recently "not to worry" about rising seas, like Obama purportedly does. New Yorkers and others....here's another reason to reelect our President.)
I believe in this comment because many people would consider many problems solve by listening powerful words from a candidate that would say whatever it can to make us believe that he really would help to protect us from this climate change. But for me these are just words of him thinking, not for me and not for you just for him to gain that powerful chair position. As we believe on him, by giving our vote, do you thing that him or who ever rolls the government cards, will help to protect New York? Well we don’t know for sure, because it will stay as a question mark until he will be nominated.

People wake up. Enough of words, but lets stand up see this catastrophic change of our city. Let’s have our officials understand that we belong here, we are New Yorker’s. Let’s come with solutions and plans of being prepared and protected from the disaster that Mother Nature has gifted to us.

I've leave in America for about 10 years. Staten Island was the first city that i lived on for about 3 years. An Island that 70 % of surrounding are, parks and open fields, with low houses and no street cleaning that you have to worry about your car. The only issue that i saw leaving in Staten Island was the transportation from one place to another, and the stores that were far a part from were i lived. The worst of anything else was to work in the city and get the public transportation everyday. This was one of the issues that made me decide to move to Queens. From a quite and clean place to a crowed and busy environment.

Being a commuter of Queens have put my patient into the limit, of looking for parking spots, fighting with neighbor up stairs not to make noise or play loud music, and have to carry grocery bags bring it up to fourth floor. So many things but i wont mind because I've got used of it.
