Hahaha whats up, I didn't know you could do the assignment w/o the book, yea um you made up that summary? you were supossed to use proper attribution and in-text citation, how come you just don't check out the book and read the back? Sorry I just think your funny, don't take what I said the wrong way, anyways I hope the sociology HW this weekend isn't complicated, I kinda didn't understand the last one. C ya later
Heyo!
Haha...thanks for the comment. I always do the blogging process as soon as possible cause after english class i just get these carazy and somewhat "quality" ideas in my head and have to write them down somewhere! As for the paraphrasing...the whole ideas was to make it your own and include citations. i have no idea if you just coppied what was said. Some the words seem kinda of iffy but that could actually be the way in which you talk sooo i dunno. See you in class tuesday!
Nathan-
I have to agree with Chelsea's comments in that you need to actually read through sources in order to find useful ones and then, as she stated, practice using correct attribution.
