After reaing the article about Frey, I did re-think whether or not I cut around the corners in telling the truth in my essays. I really so believe that an author is responsible for the truth he or she writes as being true. Authors must tell write about the truth according to their own experience otherwise then they aren't writing honestly and when someone finds out about it their career could be in trouble. If the author publishes a work as non-fiction, then it should all be factual according to the author's experience. I amde sure I wrote the truth in my essays according to my experiences and I wrote it to be non-fiction; which means that it is true and is what happened to me. I do not believe that if an author were to write about non-fiction about himself and writes it honestly anyone should be offended since it is based on truth and the only reason why they would be hurt would be if they told the author not to write about them and they did or they know what the author wrote was true but simply did not like it as it may put the spotlight on that said person.

When finished with one point examine how to bridge into another point\ correctly 7. Repeat procedure until paper is satisfactorily finished I did'nt know much about nature or the outside and I could've gone with talking about rain but I wanted to talk about my cockatiel Spicy since she is very dear to me and so I started thinking about what was going to be the focus of the essay. I began to think about the early times of me and the bird and decided that the focus was going to be the phsycological aspects of having a pet. I organized it based off of this dream I invented-knowingly pushes the limit of the genre but I decided to give it a shot. So the entire essay moved around this dream while still I tried to push the focus forward which was, of whether or not it was right for us to treat animals a...
