My outline- Joe Paterno!

1- the time i met Joe Paterno on the sidelines of the Penn State - Iowa game. cameras, media, fans. paint the picture with dialogue.

2- "I fucking hate the Yankees! I grew up in Brooklyn and i cant stand them."

ending quote.

3- nut graph- Joe's way is the right way in his eyes. the way he interacts with people with confidence and belief. his personality

4-back round, Joe's accomplishments as a player and coach. his godly like being in state college, at penn state and in college sports.

5- todd kula's Quote when he was fired due to Joe's anger-(ahaha funny quote). how this demonstrates joes personality and enthusahim to win games.

6- Omar easy's quote about playing for joe and working for him. some of the things you have to expect when doing either of the two.

7- students quotes and some things they have heard from Joe or been yelled at by Joe. this will further strenthen my point.

8- Joes passionate persionality and care for the game he pretty much made his. his fiesty way of talking to people but getting people to respect it is something to admire.

three qoutes that i have come across in intreviews are as followed.

"I dont fucking care! your screwing up my practices, you were suppose to let me know. i dont care your Fired!"
this was a qoute from my BBH professor Todd Kula. he works as a football advisor for the football team. the quote refers to Joe Paterno going off on him as he players left the field for exams. this shows a litle of JoePa's enthusasim for his team and practice. a little personality was taken for this quote.

"he was really the man, still is the man. he had mad swag out there, still walking around the same way."
this quote came from Derrick Thomas who plays corner back and nickle for the nittany lion football team. this is what derrick said after watching a video of Joe Pa as a player at Brown University. give me a wanting to look for this video and research Joe Paterno when he was a player. his stats, highlights.

"Oh My God, you met Joe Paterno? Your so lucky!"
this quote came from a kinesology major named Kevin Di Santo. a freshman at Penn State who says he goes to all the football games. this quote shows his legacy as a coach and the fame and Joe Patero represents. I'm guessing i will find hundreds of other students who have similar feelings. maybe some of them will tell me a crazy Joe paterno story. Maybe a funny one.

the author makes sense in trying to point out the harm in being a number one party school. he also tries to point out the problem of alcohol on college campuses especially state school. Penn State is merely the face of the problems he is trying to get across to the audience. the reporter makes note that binge drinking is a major problem in college life and even in high school. he also points out that tail gating and public drinking makes the atmosphere seem to make underage and binge drinking okay to do. i feel that these are accurate claims. the reporter also said the atmosphere at Penn State is inviting and very cultural so its hard to resist doing it with fellow peers. the reporter does a great job of getting quotes and talking to students about specific issues they are trying get across to the audience. i don't like what some of the students were saying about the university. they were kind of bad mouthing the university to the point to make it seem as if they were mad to be here of they never took place in any of the activities. though Penn State parties a lot it is still respected as one of the most priestliest universities in the country. there are a number of college kids here in the middle of no where. they come to college to get an education and to party. some kids do go further than they should when they drink but its not Penn State that's making this happen. they would do this anywhere. the author wants to represent the views of the non college students who live in state college. they families who live here. he wants to represent the people who aren't drunk that watch and are affected by some of the drunk people. my overall feelings about this broadcast is that it shows some of the stuff that goes on on campus, but it makes Penn State seem to be a bad place and an atmosphere where people are drunks and don't get anything done. i feel this is a one sided investigation.

After reading "Shitty First Drafts" by Anne Lamott i agree with her perception of first drafts. i find that in my first drafts I'm not really focused on what, or how good the writing on the paper is as much as i care about laying out the points of my paper. i tend to use my first drafts as a brainstorming device to get my thoughts on the paper.(usually in memoirs and narratives). i like to think of it as Lamott does writing a shitty first draft allows great room for improvement, i don't want my first draft to ready to to handed in. although i don't write a number of drafts. i like to get my first draft out of the way, have everything on my computer screen and dissect it over and over again until i think I've got it. i try not to get hung up on trying to make a number of copies. regarding Lamontt's 7Th paragraph on trusting the process, i think that is something that most writers have in common. it wasn't until my senior year i began to trust the process. my English 12 teacher tough me the steps of the process. he then told me it was okay to jump from step to step. go back to the second step, change your idea etc. this was probably the best advice i received and gave me much more faith in the writing process. i still believe that each writer has their own specific variation of the writing process. for me, i like to get everything out in a free write manor. then for that free write i look over it and make an out line of how i want to portray the narrative. once i have completed that i begin writing another free write corresponding to the outline. (i like to do all of this on paper with a pencil) once i have completed this, if i feel comfortable with the information i have written down i put the piece together. once i have the piece together the way i want it i then worry about punctuation, grammatical errors and sentence structure.
