Telluride Association Summer Program ( TASP ) 2008

<p>Cira on Technology:

  1. Heeeeeeeeey. Don’t I remember that introduction from our debate?
  2. You know how to use a comma! Yay for Cira!
  3. No you don’t. Don’t put a comma in front of “because”.
  4. Good varied sentence structure, although you have to be careful when navigating 4 or 5 part sentences.
  5. You sound very informed in your 2nd paragraph. Good for you.
  6. Try not to sound as though you’re talking when using pronouns. Either use one or two exclusively or don’t use them except in 3rd-person (i.e. Don’t switch between I, you, and we if it isn’t a narrative)
  7. Hee. You had a six-part sentence and didn’t f*** it up too badly (a little awkward, but one couldn’t expect otherwise). Impressive.
  8. Some punctuation and conjugation mistakes (ex. “Who are the offended minority”), but they’re not nearly as prevalent.
  9. I heart the dramatic sentence-structure switch for the 2nd-to-last paragraph. And the George Orwell reference.
  10. You have a better handle on the rhythm, so most of your longer sentences work well. Skilled use of larger words, too (ex. circumscribed).</p>

<p>All in all, I’d give it a “good” Porna rating. A bit jargony for me, but it sounded well-informed. It was focused, and you made it work.</p>

<p>i ask that you do not refer to my esssay when degrading another.</p>

<p>Cira’s Conflict:

  1. Mad love for managing to say absolutely nothing of importance in the introduction while making it sound legitimate through pretty prose. That’s how the best do it.
  2. You’re quite good at writing in narrative.
  3. You used “exploration” instead of “exploring” in the 3rd paragraph.
  4. Good work linking the introduction to the later paragraphs.
  5. So the piece of paper is male?</p>

<p>I have to admit that this essay qualifies for the “fabulous” Porna rating. It’s fierce and it’s fun and it’s light and I loved it.</p>

<p>good night all. may u all be alive tomorrow if u don’t butcher each other tonight…</p>

<p>and with that gory conditional, i depart as well.</p>

<p>I do love a good bloodbath, but I feel obliged to warn those who may intend to severely criticize my own essays that I love them like the discarded fetuses that they are, and I am willing to argue against almost every point against them until the cows come to CC and your toenails are set growing inward. You mess with me.</p>

<p>Okay, Arrested Development’s over, no more Michael Cera upon which to rest my weary eyes, I’m out.</p>

<p>I’ve gotta go to work in a couple of hours. Anyone here to shoot the breeze?</p>

<p>i’m here. i’ll pump a coupla rounds into the wind (if thats what u meant by shooting the breeze:))</p>

<p>hilarious, elmo. (:
I’ve actually been wondering, are you a gun afficionado? Because you seem to know kinda specific information on what type of gun is needed to take porna down.</p>

<p>nah… but all my friends are…i live in a rural region. my friends go on weekly hunting trips with.22’s .30 aug 6’s , etc. and i read war novels</p>

<p>and about porna, that’s easy - all u need is a large-calibre, high velocity firearm (preferably automatic) and ur good to go</p>

<p>I made the mistake of sending her my essays. :stuck_out_tongue:
Oh well, tonight’s going to suck. I have tons of homework I have to do that I haven’t been able to do yet because of work.</p>

<p>thank god i didn’t. o $hit, i’ve got a ginormous physics lab to do…</p>

<p>“lab?” Like you have to use a beaker and bunson burner at your house?</p>

<p>no, i’ve already got the data (motion detectors) i just need to write an analysis, conclusion, extension, and application</p>

<p>hmm, sounds difficult. I need to go eat some lunch/breakfast and get ready for work. ): I’ll see you tonight.</p>

<p>yup. enjoy ur nuts…:cool:</p>

<p>shootin into the breeze…heck more like shootin in outer space…</p>
