Journal 6 Bubba Spaulding

There many things I can take away from the book "Holding On". One, is the fact the different kind of people out there in the world is just enormous. There are different kind within different kind. You would think that for example this group of people are the same. On the outside they may be but when you get to know each one you find out they are all different. The different styles of writing was my 2nd take away. Isay uses many ways to write. He uses first and third person. Narrative and the one that stands out is the Robert Shields diary. He just basically copied Shields's diary. And third I realized myself that there is more than one way to write. There are many ways to write. I was proud of my work because of the passion I had to write it. Once I started to write I couldn't stop. The facts I found out about my profile was amazing. The interview was really easy.

Moreese Bickham was my favorite profile of the book. I was so fascinated with him. He held on to his freedom for many years and he never gave up. I felt for this guy. I know he killed two cops but I believe he did it in self defense. I believe he got the shaft when they started to release people and they kept passing over him. I did some research on him and found that they called him "Pop".

Rober Shields. was not my favorite but if amazed so much that someone can be so meticulous about his life that he had to write down every minute. I even showed my wife this profile. My wife analyzed him, she is a psychologist. What she told me was not good from my point of view.

My questions for the essay 3 is, What are some strange or odd facts about the Rock n Roll hall of fame?

What is the history behind the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

I like the history of sites like this. I really like the odd facts that people may not know about things. I love telling people about things and watching their eyebrows raise.

  1. I like how one of your takeaways was that you realized there are more than just one way to write. I have seen so many different writing styles in the past two years here at OSU than I did in my high school career. Now whether that is just because the teachers in my school weren't focused on talking about writing styles to us or I just didn't care to realize it then, it has really opened my eyes to writing now.

  2. I also had that weird kind of spill-out writing when doing my profile. When your interviewer does a really good job of describing a story you want to capture what you feel and put it into text.

  4. I loved Moreese Bickham's profile. I thought it was so unique that Isay was able to capture this man in such turmoil and conflict. It was so heartbreaking to hear about a man that had spent his whole life suffering when he didn't technically deserve it. I was happy to read that he had won his freedom though. Isay got lucky being able to capture such a good story.
