APA Format

I am writing on how to use APA format in your research paper. Citing a source means to take the person name who said or wrote it to show proof from where you seen or heard it from. Such as dates and the author`s name. A writer needs to cite a source when something is said by someone and is a fact that is true and to that shows that it was said by someone else and not yourself. What the writer needs to do differently when citing a source that is a direct quote versus summarized text is to put in quotations marks around it and from who said it. If is said as a summarized text put in parentheses ( ) or either brackets, [ ]. A reference page is a page that shows all your sources to which you got from to write your research paper. The things that are included to making a reference page is that it is by making a list. I will use APA format style because includes quoting, references, and citing. To get above grade level you must have that kind of format.

Example of in-text-citations:

He had a very deprived childhood being put into St. Mary’s and he really just wanted to try everything there was. He wanted to get enough to eat so he felt full...and wanted to have enough to drink so that he felt good. (Ruth Stevens, 1925.)

My Close Friend Blue Monkey

My blue monkey is my comfort and I need him when I cry. I got it from a friend A.K.A. Dadtty. I was so excited when I got him, I sleep with him every night and I cried on him a lot. He is so cute and he has a big belly button. He makes me feel safe and he is there for me, I tell him how I feel by laying next to him and he reads my mind and I read his too. I haven`t name him yet because I need to talk to my dadtty. The blue monkey is considered one of my closes friends

When the road gets rough
And you had about enough
And you feel like givin up
Just remember that it ain't over
So when it feels like you're by youself
Stay grindin and you'll find all you need is yourself

When the road gets rough
And you had about enough
And you feel like givin up
Just remember that it ain't over
So when it feels like you're by youself
Stay grindin and you'll find all you need is yourself

Don't rely on nobody cuz all you need is you
Don't rely on no one to get the job done
Don't rely on nobody cuz all you need is you
Don't rely on no one to get the job done

[J.Cash]
Yeah, it may seem hard
Everyday is like a struggle
But I ain't gon stop
Work through it, yea I hustle
On the streets they bustle
Like life be, moving at lightspeed
Just slow it on down,
Cuz you too can be like me
You got a dream, reach for it
Don't let em stop you
Let um talk, let um hate
But don't let em knock you.
You got a plan, stick to it
Don't give it up
Cuz if you did then you won't ever be able to live it up
And don't be worrryin bout lettin sumone else down
Cuz in the end you only got yourself
So stand up proud.
And let me hear ya say yes I'm guna make it
Scream it loud so they know what life gives you when you take it

Ey you might get a lil help along the way
But it's on you, if you don't come through
You can only blame who? That yourself
Ain't nobody finna take the blame
Not even Akon you gotta do your own thing
It don't matter who you got in your corner
If you decide to up and quit then it's on your shoulders
It all comes down, to you and yourself
Just me, myself, and I can't rely on no help
Cuz you never really know what's along the bend
Your girl might cut u loose, or you could lose your best friend
Then you're back to square one, all alone on your own
But all you need is you so keep on.

Don't rely on nobody, cuz all you need is you

Don't rely on no one to get the job done
Don't rely on nobody, cuz all you need is you
Don't rely on no one to get the job done

Prom!

Prom was not all that fun until I danced. My friends and I taken a lot of pictures, especially in the bathroom. I danced with mostly Jessica the whole entire night until the end. The people who were sitting at my table was Coach Manning, Coach Diane, Jessica, Adolfo, Lizbeth, Jason, Candy, Lebari, and last Ms. Priester joined us. Ms. Priester look so pretty! It was pretty hard to dance with my long dress but the dress was worth it. I didn`t plan on wearing pink and black but it turned out great. I had somewhat A little fun when prom was almost over, my last dance was something special.

Blog Value

There are many benefits of using a blog, especially in school. Some beneficial of using a blog in school are that we learn more on our typing skills for the students who lacks of experience in technology such as computers. Learning how to communicate with others and our writing will get better everyday. They become very professional, instead of writing down stuff and losing them you can have them on a blog. Everybody can see it and learn from it too. It is great to have a blog where you can share and it is also a lot fun.

Dear Mr. Ron Major:

 

I am writing to you about our school rules. Since you are the principal, you have the power to help change rules.

 

I would like the dress code changed. I understand that cleavage, sagging pants, short skirts and short shorts are unacceptable. Tank tops should be allowed to be worn. Summer is coming soon and I think female students would feel, more comfortable if they could wear tank tops. I believe it is possible to wear a tank top that does not show cleavage and would not violate the dress code.

 

Thank you in advance again for taking your own time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Elijah!

Dear Daughter,

This is very important; I really need to talk to you about this Facebook and MySpace thing your doing. I don’t want you to talk or anything just listen to what mommy has to say, Elijah you’re the only daughter I have and the only one for now although your daddy is always gone. I am very worried about the Cyber-predators online looking for young teens all over the websites you go on. They have been talking about it all over the new! I am terrified to lose you. Imagine how daddy and mommy would feel if you were missing like these young girls out there? I just need you to cut you time limit in half.

You may think I’m a crazy mother and over-protective but so should every mother. I know your smart and all and you’re used to MySpace and Facebook and all your chatting things. I just need you to follow directions. Many young girls are getting kidnapped everyday and a lot because of these online things you do and including your friends. Girls like you actually don’t fake your names and real ages! That’s what Cyber-predators are getting to you. Later on when we are done talking I am going have to check your Facebook and MySpace and just everything you do online that includes having contact with people. Elijah, I understand you’re young trying to have fun and all talking to people you don’t know but understand your limits.

There are many limits Elijah, I hope you don’t put out your real name, phone number, especially our address. Anyone can show up and take you away and I may not even be home. I know your old enough to be aware but trust me Cyber-predators are smart form what I hear lately. They can have a picture of a cute boy and you may not know what or who they really are. I can talk to you with my whole profile filled with pictures of a boy, saying that is me and its not. Sooner or later, I hope sooner you will understand me and not just stare off into space telling me it’s “stupid”.

Elijah, have you heard about those girls who were missing for the longest?! Aren’t you scared too? Later while still searching for those girls they found them dead! Dead Elijah! Can you believe that? Do you want to be like one of them? I didn’t think so. Well what I am trying to say is you just need to be aware at all times who you are talking to. It’s very important. Although, this may sound stupid, you are going to be on your MySpace and whatever else you do only for 30 mins maximum, longer for homework of course.

When you are done using the computer, daddy and I will check the computer and although you want to erase the History, go for it. Daddy knows how to fix things. We just want you with us and not dead from something that been going on forever and been warned about many times. We are going to need to know the people you chat with at all times, not some new friend you met at school. If you want to chat with them, we are going to have to meet them in person. I know it seems a little cruel to you and your friends but you need to understand us. This plan will work because there is no way your going to get away with talking to strangers you do not even know. You don’t have to say anything, we are doing this because we care and love you truly.
