1. How does Rittenberg hook the reader? What’s happening?
2. What specifics does Rittenberg use to emphasize how older generations saw horrible things in their lifetimes?
3. How does Rittenberg use specifics to demonstrate his hopefulness?
4. How does Rittenberg use the title to make his point?

Personally I do not like this post Mr. Stearns showed us on this website. I think this lady  who wrote the post contradicts herself too much. She sits there and says I don’t like the digital and modernized computer world. But yet she’s online chatting with guys and writing posts like this. She met her husband online, I think this tells you something. Why do you care so much about the way someone writes whether on paper or not? If anything I would think she would like the computer since she got married to a guy she met online.

My experience with writing has been different every year. In Elementary school I used to write children’s stories all the time I thought that I was amazing at it and even wanted to become a famous writer like my grandpa. but come to find out I was a terrible writer when high school hit. This really shut down my confidence. My imagination is gone now that I’m older and I have no idea what to write about so I think thats the problem. I have horrible grammar and punctuation thats something teachers always comment me on when i turn in papers. Last semester I took Creative writing and we wrote a ton of poetry and short stories. I really struggled with rhyming and thinking of things to write about. I don’t know how to put words together and make them sound interesting, I’m such a boring writer. Lets just say writing is not my best subject. My writing always turns into more opinionated work then unbiased for some reason.
