Hidden Cities: a Memoir of Urban Exploration by Moses Gates

[english1010microblogging]

Good example of journey from topic to thesis

Topic: Four Way Stop at AUM Drive and Senator Drive

Issue: This four way stop slows traffic

Question: Should the four way stop at the intersection of AUM Drive and Senator Drive be changed to a traffic circle like the others on campus?

Position: A traffic circle at AUM Drive and Senator Drive would be better suited than the four way stop currently present.

Final Thesis: The Auburn University Board of Trustees should consider transforming the four way stop at the intersection of AUM Drive and Senator Drive into a traffic circle. The traffic circle will perhaps enhance the flow of traffic, decrease the amount of traffic violations, and possibly decrease traffic accidents.

(Three things to do to make thesis specific:

1. Read traffic reports

2. Interview AUM Police

3. Watch documentary on traffic violations

Create OUTLINE!!!!!)

Why Are Londoners Texting with an Inanimate Signpost?

Some are even asking the (surprisingly jerkish) signpost for a date.

CSE

CSE is used when you make a reference and give it a number so at the end of your document you can match the number from the source with the reference.

Example: Drowning and near drowning incidents are leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both children1 and adults2.

I recognized a few places in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat from my trip to the Chernobyl exclusion zone, so I made some screenshots to compare.

Early on in the year, I traveled alone to Ukraine to visit Pripyat, Chernobyl. What an eye opening experience. The silence was deafening.
