In Class Assignment, Prewriting for Paper, Unit 3

I still do not know exactly what definition I am going to write about in my paper for Unit 3. I do know that I want to use a word or phrase that many people interpret differently. I want to find a word or phrase that can possibly be controversial. I also want to use a word that I can find plenty of information on. In my previous blog, I mentioned the definition of "marriage". The idea of marriage is a very debatable topic right now. It is debated both politically and religiously. And there are so many sources where I can research the definition. I want to use a word like "marriage" but I am still brainstorming words and phrases to see if I can find something else. When I research the definition for my paper, I am going to utilize many sources. I am going to use the English dictionary and also Urban Dictionary to find various definitions. I am also going to search in articles and other works of writing to gather more information about the definition. I want to use scholarly articles or speeches that show how multiple people interpret the word or phrase differently. I am also going to ask my friends and family about their thoughts on the definition. I will find many ideas from them. It will be interesting to see how everyone interprets things differently.

  1. The term "marriage" would be a great term for this paper. It can mean so many different things to so many people. I think it would be interesting if you gathered information from several different groups of people such as children, a single man/woman, a straight couple, a gay couple, and a divorced man/woman. I think each group will have such a different interpretation which will give you a lot of information to go off of!
