Writing Plan

Writing plan for CatW

What aspects I need for improving my writing are developing ideas (valid evidence) and grammar.

 Develop ideas.

 First, I have to make sure that I pick up what is the right main idea of the prompt. Consider carefully what story or evidence I can use from my knowledge or experience for supporting my thesis statement. (This is important! Because my ideas often fly away from thesis)

Second, Make sure using reference. I often use my personal experience for all supporting ideas. Make up!! (other articles, documentaries)

Make sure to coherent all supporting ideas to my thesis statement.

Grammar

Be more careful for simple mistakes, such as Subject-Verb Agreement, Article, Word form, Verb Tense, and Missing word. After finish the writing, read and fix the grammar errors.

Do not try to make sentences difficult or long. Make simple sentences. Break down my thought into simple and brief sentences. (To express my though simple way) Avoid making unclear sentences.

How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment

How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment

            In the article, “How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment,” the author, Lucille Forer writes how people’s birth order influences people’s characters. The author says that other family members’ expectations toward each child according to their birth order decide their roles in their family, and the roles become part of his/her self-concept. I agree with author’s idea that “Birth order influences him to develop certain attitudes toward other people and helps him develops specific patterns of behavior.”

            I have two sisters back in my country, Japan, and I am a middle child. Each character or behavior exactly represent typical birth other characteristic. My elder sister is very responsible. My younger sister knows there are others around to take care of her. As the writer say that expectation of certain behavior toward him/her depends on each birth order develops their part of self-concept, we all expect certain roles toward each sibling. My parents have expected my elder sister to take care of me and my younger sister since I was born. She took me with her when she play with her friends, and took care of my study and homework in our childhood. She is a very responsible woman because she has been raised to be responsible by my parents’ expectation.

            My younger sister has been taken care of well by all our family members. She is our family’s mood maker. Everybody loves her. We are all willing to take care of her because of her certain attitude. Her attitude or behavior make us think that she is less able to do things than us, so we take care of her, even she is the real smartest in our sibling. My younger sister is now 29 years old, she is fully grown woman; however, her attitude and behavior still represents that she is a baby one in my family. It is because we also still expect her to do so.

            In my country, japan, people think that blood type also determines certain behavior in part of our characteristics. We sometimes guess people’s blood type by observing their behavior, and it actually works. However, I read an article, and it says that we develop our certain behavior depending on blood type because we learn and act what characteristic we have according to our blood type from our childhood. Other words, information of blood type characteristics develop our self-concept.

            We have acted certain roles according to other’s expectation from in our childhood. If you have acted certain role from your childhood, it becomes part of your real characteristic. Birth order influences people’s characteristics with other expectation.
