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.

Reflection

1. Summarize your writing process on this paper, pointing out what you found most difficult, most useful, and least useful.  Is there anything you would do differently next time?  Is there anything you think I should do differently next year in preparing students for this assignment?
I did a lot of research and preparation for the essay. But when it came to the actual essay i crammed. I believe that students next year should have more time to research.
2. What feedback did you receive (from peers, me, or anyone else), and how did you respond to it?
I received many grammar fixes and a people telling me they didn't understand. I made corrections.3. Using the traits of good writing and features of strong research papers, what are the strongest and weakest aspects of your paper?
Conventions and sentence fluency are probably the worst part of my paper. And the best is probably the voice, ideas and orginization of my paper.
4. Is there anything else you would like me to know as I read your paper?

My Research

For my paper I chose a topic that i found interesting. I always thought that the american revolution was an interesting topic. I was always wondering what the tactics where and how the weapons were different. So the Topic i chose was How does the tactics of the Americans and the British affect the outcome of the Revolutionary War. So far i have found many article review major battles and giving a brief insight into the tactics. Through how which side defeated another.

How did the Tactics in the Revolutionary war affect the outcome? This question is one that has be asked many times. Most americans believe that the militia out fought the British. But truly they out smarted them. Ib the beginning of the war the American's were losing the battles yet they were not losing numbers like the british were. Why did this happen? The British military deployed a tactic that placed their men in ranks and within the ranks they stood in strait lines. This tactic allowed them to fire constant rounds at very high rates in to a small area. Yet it lead to venerability that caused many soldier to perish in battle. This cause a depletion of british troops affecting their strength in other encounters ultimately causing the british to falter and for the Americans to take what they thought to be their's.

150min of research.

Research update

My research is going steadily and slowly. I find about 1 or 2 sites very day. But i have to cross reference them. so far i have 8 sources. But only 5 are annotated. I find it hard to write about the reliability of the sources.

I hope to finish my research before friday. But that means that i need to pick up the pace. I need to begin to annotate right when i find the source. I still haven't found a primary source yet.
