Blog #3

I think that most of the response to my essay was pretty positive. I will fix the works cited page. I may take a few other suggestions as well. I felt that in reading all of the responses to the essays that some people were very critical of others.

Before I turn in my essay I am going to reread the paragraphs and see if there are some changes that need to be made. I am going to check my punctuation and the way my paper flows. Wish me luck!

Blog number 2

For this blog I am going to list five possible websites that I may use for my essay. They are as follows:

1. http://www.sacred-texts.com/nos/index.htm#bio This gives me access to the quatrains the originals and the interpretations.

2. http://www.nostradamususa.com/html/biography.html This site gives a detailed biography of his life and includes many facts.

3. http://www.nostradamus-repository.org/

This gives several detailed account of many things in life and they are list by years and chronologically.

4.http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/nostradamus.htm

This shows some different perspectives on Nostradamus. I think that this will give me different perspectives on Nostradamus.

5.www.skepdic.com/nostrada.html This will give me the skeptics point of view.


I have been working very hard on my research. I have not written anything like this since 1995. We did not have the internet back then. I look forward to hearing my classmates feedback and becoming a better writer.

Blog Number One

When I signed up to take this English I had no idea that the theme would be the paranormal. I was completely taken by surprise. In doing the reading assignments I realize that I do believe in the paranormal. However, I am not sure about telekinesis. There are many things that science just can't explain for me to disregard the paranormal. I think that I will enjoy writing about the paranormal it is very interesting subject matter and I also think that it will force me to become more open minded. I anticipate learning about ESP, telekinesis, Mediums and parapsychology. I hope that I improve my writing skills while learning about this interesting subject matter.
