For my portfolio project i chose my literacy analysis. I chose this project because i saw small changes that i could make to make it a better paper over all. I also like writing this paper. This made me want to revisit it.
Also i saw many comments that said i'm confused and that is something i would like to change. This topic i wrote about i thought was a great one and one that i though could use a little more elaboration. This Paper will be the most polished one i have done all year.

Jane Goodall
The problem of plagiarism is a big one. Yet there are certain scales that people's plagiarism is placed on. These scales are determined by the person accused. You have the student scale based by grade. You have the adult scale based on educational background. The biggest and worst scale the famous author. Jane Goodall lands on the famous author scale.
Jane Goodall is a famous Primatologist who has writen a book, that has had some problems with plagiarism. She plagiarized websites like Wikipedia. This is a fairly major offense. Plus to add insult to injury she basically copied entire passages without giving credit. Overall Jane Goodall's offense was a bad one.

Nervous Conditions
This book was a good eye opener. I believe that I should be kept for many years to come. It could teach many people at this school not to take things for granted. This book also bring us into African Culture and expands our horizons.
This book could use some tweeking though. I think that the work was jammed into a short period of time. Because personally it took much longer to read one chapter of this book than it did to read three of Lord of the Flies. This is becasue the book is boring. Also we did the projects and they should too.
On the other hand the projects are too close together.They need to be more dragged out. Like have one project due every week so that the students have more time to read. I also think that there should be more little quizes. To even out the points.
Finnally i think some of the work is tedious and could be modified. Like the play list could be shortened a little. Finding a song is hard enough but having to write a paragraph about it. And the essays should be more points.

Tambu's Expectations
Tambu at the mission is expected to be more civilized. This is because the mission is the civilized so students are expected to civilized. She is also excepted to act civilized so that it will rube off on Nyasha. This is because Babamukuru thinks that Tambu is how a daughter should act and he believes that Nyasha isn't how daughters should act.
She is also expected act intelligent. This is because she is at the mission so people around her tink becasue she is going to school she must act intellegable. This is also taken out into the community when she is back at the house she is expected to be intellegent like Maiguru.
While when she is at the homestead she is supposed to act like the other women. She is supposed to take car of all cooking and clean all house jobs. She also doesn't get any credit for it either. She is supposed to act like this because this was how women where treated in 1960 in Rodesia.
Finally She must act up to everyones standards. Her whole family expects her to do everything and do it well. This is one becasue her father is lazy and doesn't work and when the work isn't done well he beats her. Also Babmukuru expects her to do well in school and act like a perfect child so that it rubs off on Nyasha. So over all she has to cat perfect.

Babamakuru's Thoughts
I am so glad that my nice is entering the mission school. This will benefit my brother's side of the family greatly. Though he may not like the idea of his daughter going to school. I need to help my niece to become a better student but to also keep her in line so she doesn't become disrespectful like my daughter.
My daughter must be taught a lesson she cannot disobey me like that. She isn't allowed to be out that late with boys and she is definitely not allowed to disrespect me in that way. I am not sad about what i did. I think she deserved what she got.

Project so far
My work ethic on this project has been less than stellar. But I am trying to change that this c layer. Plus this book doesn't help my work ethic. I beleive that I have been procrastinating and haven't taken it seriously.
I Can fix that by seting aside a certian time every night to sloley do anything and everything Nervous conditions. The thing that killed me was the disscusion questions. After I read I couldn't think of any. So what I think I'll do is write them as I read.
Reading time 150min Nervous Conditions.
