September 22, Wndesday Topic--> Is Success a result or Nature or Nurture? Thoughts behind this topic. Some people are self motivated to succeed (at life) and others are not. Are people born with an inbuilt ability to be successful or is success determined through cold hard work? Main source for now, steven pinker's why nature and nurture wont go away. http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articles/papers/nature_nurture.pdf.

Im still reading this source.

September 3, Wednesday Had my first meeting with Ms Gourley, talked about the option of my essay topic being about something other than Literature, possibly current issues.

I was also introduced to several research and writing-aid tools (igoogle,reader,ABC-CLIO databases), and the class forum (wikispace-->research story), which i found to be very useful for organizing my work and making my research more efficient.

Task conclusion: I will spend the next week looking at both literature and current issue topics and see which interests me more. My goal is to find settle for a subject by next monday, and start my research by the next wednesday session.
