Blog Assignment 5

I had looked at several topic for essay 2. I still cannot come to the conclusion on which one would be the best one for me to do. I did do some research on the Pinkerton Detectives. They were a private U.S. security guard and a detective agency. It was established in 1850. Their security services ranged from security guarding to private military work. There were more agents employed than there were members of the standing army of the U.S. The Pikertons were hired to track western outlaws like Jesse James, the Reno Gang, and the Wild Bunch. It is pretty neat that there were private agencies hired to track down some of the wild ones from the West. I still do not think that I have enough information about this to be able to write a 6-8 page paper so I am still researching for others.

Blog Assignment 4

Weather has made it difficult for me to do assignments this past two weeks. I was not able to do peer reviews but I have looked over my paper and changed a few things. I was trying to get a good introduction and after a few times reading it I think that I got it this time. I found several grammer mistakes in my paper and have changed them. I am going to submit my paper and hope for the best. Hopefully next time I can get reviews to help me with my paper.

Blog Assignment 3

In this week's blog we were suppose to discuss our peer reviews that we had received on our essay. Due to the weather I was unable to submit my essay in time and I could not respond to anyone's essays. I just now got power back and I am trying to catch up on all of my assignments. I am sorry that I could not read and respond to peer reviews in time. Trust me I would have rather done anything than what I was doing. It was pretty rough without power for almost 2 weeks. Hopefully things will get better and everyone can get caught up on all of their assignments. I hope everyone is ok and everyone gets power back soon if you don't already have it.
