Sources for my writings.
Every since I was little writing has not been too tough of a thing. Mostly because I have always been able to get good information from any source that I find. I think that part of getting good sources is being able to relate the information exactly the way you want to and need to in your writing. When looking for sources since I have been in college has been a breeze.... they supply you with all you need online from the university..... Since all the papers I have been asked to write have called for scholarly papers, I always use Jstor. It is convenient and super easy to use and all the information for citing the source being used is right there at the top of every page. I have never not been able to find an adequate amount of information from sources using this. And even though you normally would have to pay for a resource like that, this one is paid for by WSU..... or you tuition. ha ha ..... but I guess I could improve the way I search for scholarly sources by looking for a source in a different database besides Jstor.... maybe another one provided by WSU, like world cat..... or something along those lines.... but I really don't see a reason for changing the way I find sources when the way I am finding them works so well. I have been getting A's in my english classes so why change?

Chapter 15
This was a very important chapter in my opinion.....The fact that Pollen chose to hunt kill, dress, and forage for his own meal gives a huge boost to his credibility and his ability to think outside that tiny box of animal rights activist, get outside of his comport zone, and see what it is actually like to hunt your own food. In my experience, I feel 100% better about hunting my own food every year.... because when your hunting... there is a respect for the animal and honor in taking it down yourself with effort and skill.... all the while the game being hunted has its ability to evade.... hide... and run to defend itself and outsmart the hunter..... to not take more than you need..... to respect what you kill......use all you can...... is a good healthy way to eat in my opinion... and I really respect Pollen for giving the effort and trying this even though he was obviously uncomfortable with the idea in general. It was a good chapter.
