Week 15

The internet tools that I have used have been very helpful. This is the first semester I have tried other search engines besides google and ask.com. I still perfer google the most. I have also never had a blog before this class and I feel it has been very beneficial to the writing process. It has allowed me to write each week what information I have and it helps me not procrastinate.

Week 14

This week has been very busy for me, with other classes. It has been hard to do research. But I did get one of Alice Sebold's books that I have not read, I started to read it to learn more about her writing style, but once again time is not on my side.
I have found more web pages as well

I also found her myspace page which gives a lot of personal information about her, by her, i thought that was interesting.

Week 12

For my researach I think I have decided to write about Alice Sebold, one of my favorite authors. She has writeen a couple of books that I have really enjoyed. The Lovely Bones and Lucky. These books are very different and this is one reason I would like to research her. I would like to know why she writes the way she does. When I search her I will search her name, titles of her books and i can also find information in her books.

week 10

I have created two types of interviews. One type is to ask people who are not aware of what the church believes, questions that they have about the church or things that they have heard and think. Other interview is to interview members of the church and ask them questions that others have asked and their thoughts as well as interviewing a member of the bishopric, leadership within the church, asking questions directed o the history of the church.

week 9

I have begun writing my paper. I have realized there are very few websites that are trustworthy of information about the church, but many books I have found that have a lot of information about mormons and the history. There is a lot of information from people I talk to as well. I have learned a lot and it has been a great experience for me.
