Answer: (9/12/2009)
I think this is a very good topic, you could ask someone that has being in this situation before, there are many female around the world going through this and sometime it not, because they want to be there, there are many issues involve such as economic,place to live,or afraid of how going to support themself or if they have kid how they going to provide food or shelter, or sometimes getting more hurt if the husband or boyfriend find out she want to run away, to many people it sound stupid but domestic violence don't start right away, it start playing with someone mind first a psycologycal thing, then is like a game playing with the face then some punch and when you not even know how or when the domestic violence it got worst, normally the person did not know she is in it. I think the first thing that a person should do is admited that they going through this and then make the decision of leave this behind. there are many intitution that help the victims and hotlines, secure shelter to provide help. I hope this give an extra idea for your research paper. Good Luck!

Answer: (8/13/2009)
Perhaps it would be best to focus on what you want to write about in terms of domestic violence. Place the strongest arguments in the center of the body of your paper and remember to follow all of the advice your course gives on formatting as well as all of the lessons given to help you outline and create the body of your paper.

Question: (7/8/2009)
How to convert information in a full sentence outline into paragraphs for the rough draft
Answer: (8/18/2009)
There are many benefits when it comes to writing full sentence outlines, rather than just typing the paper. If someone were to ask, "wouldn't it be simpler to just write your paper than to create a full-sentence outline." I would respond with, "no".
Firstly, writing a full sentence outline is extremely important in order to begin formatting the paper. One reason is for clarity. It is important to be able to structure full sentenced, that will be put into full paragraphs. By starting with the sentences it makes the formulation of the paragraphs much easier. In addition, by writing out the sentences in a outline formation it allows the writer to see each and every sentence by itself.
Secondly, outlining the sentences will assist with the way in which the final paper will flow. By writing out the sentences seperately, that allows the writer to see if the sentencing all connects logically. By looking at each sentence it is much easier for the writer and the editor to see how the sentences will flow once they are put into paragraphs. Full sentence outlines will also lead to greater efficiency in writing. This will allow for a much easier way to edit your paragraphs. If the sentences are not in paragraph forms, it is much easier to edit and rearrange when necessary. This method is more efficient, because it is much faster to rearrange sentences, rather than entire paragraphs. Furthermore, this method will most importantly help with time management.
Organization is key and once the writer has established the clarity, efficiency, and flow the merging of the sentences into paragraphs and then into a final paper will come much easier and be less time consuming.
In order to turn the full sentence outline into the body of a rough draft it would be important to ensure that all the full sentences flow and connect. Each sentence that will end a paragraph, must flow into the new paragraph and this is vitally important in order to have a complete rough draft. Another way to turn the outline into the body of the rough draft will be to organize all of the sentences in logical order. It is important to review each sentence and ensure that they will be able to follow one another. Once it is established that all of the sentences can fit together, then I would have to establish which sentences would fit in each paragraph. Lastly, I would have to create an introduction and conclusion and ensure that the in between paragraphs fit well with those two paragraphs.
When writing, it is important to develop methods to assist in making writing easier. Full sentence outlines are a great way to establish all of the elements needed to create a well flowing, complete paper.

Answer: (7/10/2009)
One would need to take information from outline and add more information to make paper longer so it flows together.

Answer: (7/10/2009)
I. Poverty has a direct affect on America’s literacy rates.
A. Increased literacy is another way to reduce poverty.
1. Statistics show that job opportunities can improve providing literacy rates increase.
2. Devastating crisis in America causing poverty has caused literacy rates to decrease.
B. Literacy is decreased when America has devastating crisis.

1. Teachers are very helpful in the learning process of children reading because children spend a lot of time with teachers.
2. It is very important for teachers to communicate properly with parents because all parents might not know how to help their children with reading.
III. There are many factors that determine the literacy rate in America.
A. More than half of our state and federal prisons are illiterate.
1. Students who decide to drop out of school tend to have problems reading, this put them in a venerable position to get in trouble with the law.
2. When inmates are provided with literacy help they are less likely to return to prison, because they are now able to seek better job opportunities.
B. Despite the fact that some people may argue immigrants who enter in the U.S. is a big factor on the literary rate in America.
1. It makes it difficult to teach immigrants how to read when they don’t fluently speak their original language.
2. When immigrants come to the U.S. without being able to speak English this affects their children’s education as well because they have to get their children in enrolled in school and assist with homework.
