Case Study

I was in Stephanie’s class last semester for English 110 and when I got back my paper she brought up that we have to revise our paper to get a better grade. I was like no way I was going to re write this paper over. It felt like I wrote a paper and pretty much have to throw it away and redo the whole thing. I went to Stephanie and conference with her on my paper. All I had to do was correct these few error and that’s was not a lot. After that I like to revise because my paper gets stronger and better every time I go see her or look at what she wants me to change. I like to revise just because I want feedback on how I did, spend a lot of time on my paper I want good feedback so I can get better at my writing and see what my weaknesses are.

A religious leader of a cult was furious when a one-year-old baby did not say “Amen before and after his meal. So, they punished him by depriving him from food and water until he died. Three members of the now-defunct cult known as 1 Mind Ministries are on trial for murder in the death of Javon Thompson, who was around 16 months old when he died of starvation and dehydration. After the boy died, the cult members prayed for his resurrection, then destroyed all evidence of his death and stuffed his body in a suitcase, which they hid in a shed behind a home in Philadelphia. Ramkissoon, then a teenage single mother, joined the cult because she wanted to become a Christian and was told she wouldn't have to work or go to school, Drake said. When I came across this article, I thought how could somebody be so stupid and do this to a one-year-old baby, just because he did not say “Amen” after his meals. Babies do not know nay better and they expect him to know how to say “Amen” how could they be that way.
