punks are living on the rooftop across from me

To answer a few of your mindless ramblings...obviously I am not one of you because, like I said before, I am punk (and now you've convinced me that some of you aren't,) being punk is exactly what I'm doing right now, my own thing and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks, I'm just having fun using you all as a vehicle to my rise to fame, (you should see the news down here, me and my band are all over it, but don't be mad, I'll mention your names at the bottom of my first album's reckognition note, at the very bottom!) And what's wrong with being from the streets? I am and not ashamed of it. My parents were drunk and fucked up and living in a station wagon when my mother's water broke. I lived in that fucking rusting piece of crap until I was five or six and my parents brought my two younger brothers into this bird shit ball of rock. I was beyond white trash. My life story is so crazy, anytime I tell it to a therapist, they gotta go see therapists, and believe what you want, but I ain't fucking shitting you. I'm using this as a self promotional tool, but nothing I've said has been falsified, it's all fucking true. I was taken from my parents and put through fifty foster homes in two years (the equivelant of a different family every two weeks,) and my two brothers and I were put up for adoption when I was thirteen like slaves waiting on the auction block. Then I failed the Marine Corps after barely passing high school and the rest will soon be history. So hopefully some of you buggers can see where some of my narcistic opinions and hostility comes from. I don't understand what there is to rebel against if you come from a rich, or medium class family where you have everything handed to you and have absolutely nothing to worry about, or maybe some of you can SCHOOL my WHITE TRASH ass! None of you have been able to do that yet, and to top things off, I ain't going nowhere but to the top, I'm here to stay bitches. I'm going to bed now, I gotta leave the shelter early in the morning and raise some more hell out in the streets. I'll see you all in your dreams!

Making Paragraphs Work

Paragraphs are strange things. They only exist in writing (nobody talks in paragraph form). But they are very important. Good paragraphing can make all the difference between a reader being able to understand exactly what you are saying and a reader being so overwhelmed and confused that he or she puts your essay down and walks away.

What is a paragraph?

A paragraph is a group of sentences that work together to make a single point. A single point. Every sentence, phrase, and word in a paragraph should help explain, develop, or illustrate that main point. If it doesn't, get rid of it.

How can I make my paragraphs more coherent?

To cohere is to stick together. So making your paragraphs cohere means making all the parts (sentences) stick together. One way to do this is to use transitional phrases or words to show the connection between elements of your sentences. I have just used two transitional phrases in this paragraph: "so" and "one way to do this." Those phrases make the connections between the sentences clearer. Other examples of transitional phrases or words are "also," "but," "finally," "and," "meanwhile," and "however."

So you're on the roof?
