Esperanza
Her decision of how to live her life was based on the knowledge that nothing will be just given to her. She has to be aggressive and want to live on her own or get married. She has determined that fate is nothing and that you have to work hard. It's like I always say "Child stars are the only ones with life given to them, but it still doesn't last". She understands that you gotta' work hard to have a successful life.

Progress On The Project
My project is going well. I have finished my books and I have scripted out my video. Once my dad's back gets feeling better we will get shooting, I will try to get it on youtube and if that fails I've got a dvd that I can keep so that I have a copy of it.

Target Audience
The first link is directed towards young mechanics who are interested in auto motives.
MSNBC was for the people who want to know the news and what's going on in the world. Usually old people with no life.
3rd link is for women who are so self conscious they feel they need to enshroud themselves in makeup.
People who feel they need health benefits are what needs to be presented in the 4th.
5th link is for people who are so bored they feel like looking at the school site only to be bored even more, to tears even.

Esperanza is simply explaining what she would do in the more fortunate's position. She doesn't like that way that the rich think of the less fortunate. She believes if she were in that position that she would be charitable and not deny someone shelter for the night. I doubt that she would follow through if the event that her finances would come in at a high rate. More often than not this situation comes up and a severe change in heart occurs. So then the less fortunate still are looked down on. I wouldn't trust her 100%.

Proposal (Revised)
November 13, 2007
131 Red Devil dr.
Dear Mr. Shelly
I have found a project I feel confident I can do given the resources I have found. My presentation shall be in the form of a video. I shall post it on youtube and I will keep a copy of the dvd for backup. My project is on the basics of pitching and the mental game and strategy of pitching. I wish to do this because it is a part of my favorite game that I feel I may be successful in.
I have found multiple books to help me in this project. Ball Four by Jim Bouton, Complete Pitcher by Sports Illustrated and The Keys To Success by Louisville Slugger inc. These books have given me information on proper mechanics and the various ways to set up a batter to get them out. I have obtained the knowledge necessary to present this to the class.
I hope you consider this project worthy to be used for my English class non-fiction unit. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
T.J.M.

My Non-Fiction Project. (Proposal Letter)

To whom it may concern,
I have finally decided precisly what I plan to do. Not only will this project be on just pitching alone but, more specifically to be about the strategy and the understanding of throwing different pitches. How the pitches do what they do and how they are used in a game situation is what I'm emphasizing. I have found a great book that was rated one of the top 50 of the 20th century. It is entitled "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton. It is an auto-biography, however the biography is only during his professional baseball career, it is more of a journal by him really. This is like these blog entries, they include his progress in the art of pitching. It includes his ideas about pitching, his understanding of the game and of course the fabled knuckleball that I plan to be very good at throwing. I believe since this is a pitching book that is from the first-person perspective thus giving more insight and progression detail so I will know when I'm becoming better and how to improve. I will read many other books and articles to go along with this.
The project will be in the form of an instructional style DVD in which I will record at my home and at the baseball parks. This DVD will include different pitches, how to mix everything up and to understand the effects and physics of each pitch. This DVD will have the pitches actually being thrown and also the strategy used in throwing each of them. I will explain when each pitch should be thrown.
My purpose in developing this skill is to be able to better myself in the ability to pitch. I plan on at least making an attempt at college baseball and possibly a career in it. I practice everyday and I strive to improve. I really am happy that I have been given a push in this for a grade. Therefore having to study up I am now really getting more.
I hope that you will accept my project idea. Allowing me to do this will help me to strive in my own developement in baseball. Thank you for the oppurtunity to create a project such as this.
