1. This assignment was very helpful, the peer review is always helpful because not only does someone correct your paper and you get an outside opinion but you also get to read someone else's paper. That helps me very much because sometimes I am unsure of how the paper is suppose to be exactly and whether how I wrote it was correct. So reading another classmates paper usually helps me the most to see if another person wrote it like I did or if I wrote it completely wrong.
2. What I liked most about it was that it helps point out mistakes that I may have missed or would not be able to see because it is my paper and it helps to have an outside view.
I did not hate anything about it, it was not a painful assignment to do. It was fairly easy and helps me improve my paper.
3. The most useful comment that I received was to state my criteria and reason in different paragraphs and then explain the criteria and give examples. I was very unsure about that part on what to do and how to write it. Also what helped was that I was stating new criteria in my conclusion paragraph and I would have never noticed that.
4. I am going to change a lot in this paper. I need to change how I state my criteria and I need to put reasoning for it. I will change my conclusion and how I evaluate the criteria and movie. I have a lot to work on but I really like that the Prof. revises the paper also because he gives up feed back that most of the students would not pick up on either. It is very helpful to me and makes me understand stuff better and how to do it better for the future.

Reflection
What did you like/hate the most about it?
What I liked the most about this paper was finding out information on my topic. My topic was physicians assisted suicide and it is a very interesting topic. I learned a lot from writing this paper and I hope if others read my paper they will find it very interesting too. What I hated most about this paper was the time frame, I felt very rushed and was under a lot of stress. The writing center stressed me out because I could not make it in there twice.
What was the most useful thing you learned?
The most useful thing I learned about writing this paper was that I did not know how to write an argumentative paper before this and now I feel I could write many of them. Also going to the writing center had helped a lot. I will now go to the writing center for all of my papers just so I can have another outlook on my paper and to try and perfect it.
What was the hardest thing to do in the paper?
The hardest thing for me to do in this paper was to refute and argue my topics. That was very challenging for me to and also very tricky. I found that I had to think the hardest at those points to try and make everything make sense and have everything tie in together. I also have trouble with the thesis. That is always the hardest part to come up with for me, after the I figure out the thesis the paper is pretty easy after that.

The Whole World
If the whole world had to listen to you, what would you say?
If the whole world had to listen to me, I would have a lot to say. I would say that everyone needs to stop wasting their lives away.. Our world is rushing by us and everyone needs to take a step back and stop and relax. No one needs to be fighting or killing anyone. It is getting our world no where besides in debt. I would tell everyone that "the power of love needs to overcome the love of power." (Jimi Hendrix) Our world is so concerned with who has the most power and who is in control. That is not as important as everyones lives and everyone trying to get along. Our world is fighting eachother over stupid reasons that in the end aren't worth people dying everyday for. If the entire world would take my advice I would tell them to quit being so greedy with money and power and think about others instead of ourselves. The money we spend on war could be spent helping children who don't have food or a bed to go to sleep in at night. Yet that doesn't matter to someone who only cares about who has the most money or who has the biggest most powerful army out of everyone. These things shouldn't matter to people, what should matter is that everyone is fed at every meal and no one is left alone at night in the cold with no place to go. I wish everyone would find love in their hearts and stop being so greedy. If our whole world stopped caring about greed and money and power, Our world would be a lot better place.

Ashamed
The Saying "Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity" Horace Mann
I am not positive how to interpret this saying or what the actual meaning is. After some thought I believe this saying means that it is okay to be ashamed to die unless you have won a victory for humanity. Which I think is saying that if you have done something to change humanity or make a big difference for humanity then you should not be ashamed to die. I think no one should be ashamed to die no matter how they are dieing or what they have accomplished in life because death is a natural thing that every human being will experience. It is normal and no matter who you are, death is waiting for you at some point down the road whether it is in a few months or in a few decades. No one should be ashamed to die. Not many people can make a big enough difference for humanity unless they spend their entire life trying to accomplish that one goal. Which some great people in history have done so but it isn't very common.
