My favorite author thus far into the semster would be Frank J. Sullivan, I enjoyed his writting and found it to be very interesting. He was a very funny interesting author , who had my eyes glued to the paper and kept me hanging onto each and every word, wanting to read more. I enjoyed Birth Order and Sibling Competition in which I found interesting when he states " although siblings share half their genes and exhibit similarities in personality based on this shared genetic basis, most parents are struck by how different siblings actually are."(Sulloway 299). He bought out alot of key ponts about siblings and the differences among them. He focused son each birth order individually. Sulloway usues a widespread variety of vocabulary, and alot of fun fulfulling facts

Birth Order and Sibling Competition

Throughout this semester we have read a selection of non fiction. Out of all the non fiction readings my personal favorite was the one we did on October 6 entitled "Birth Order and Sibling Competition." I found this one to be very interesting. I kept wanting to read more and more , and for once i wasn't being put to sleep. Frank J. Sulloway style of writing was an easy read. He points out all the differences among birth order and what distinguishes each. Sulloway make sit clear that birth order can explain a lot about one self. He helps in explaining why siblings are so different. I'm a middle child in my family , and some things he said about being a middle child I disagree on. He talks about middle children being agreeable but thats so definitely not true in my case. I am a very difficult child to please, and i always have a different opinion. I am not easy to get along with. i'm very rebelious and different from my older sister and younger brother. I do agree that middleborns are different from siblings. Frank J. Sulloway really made some oustanding points throughout his writing."Sibling competion is widespread in the natural world, and sometimes ends in siblicide."

school work
Its crazy how were already in October one month of school down eight more months to go . September flew by, and October is flying by ! The work hasn't been too hard yet and I hope it stays this way. I will be declaring a mojor by the end of this semester so I cant get a move on with things. I'm only taking fourteen credits because i work alot of crazy hours and need to balance everything out the right way. I only go to school thee days a week. .. . Mondays. Wednesdays and Thursdays I love it this way. I couldn't imagine going to school five days a week. On Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I work. I rarely catch a break but when i do i take full advantage of it!
