AVID Class 9/27


So today, we talked about going "deep" in our essay's to colleges, but what exactly do you mean by "deep"? I mean honestly, is deep just throwing your business out there? And I know two sentences are scraping the surface but what do you really mean when you say "you're scraping the surface" do you mean we haven't written enough? And with that the "deep" thing comes up again. What is deep!? Someone please explain to me how you can get deep in an essay without pulling the sympathy card? It just isn't clicking, how can you fully tell when you have either scrap the surface or when you get "deep". Are we just suppose to know?

  1. Yes Kennedy, you are just "supposed to know" what "deeper" means. Just kidding. If no one has ever explained it to you, how would you know? Your tone always amuses me in your blogs; you have a nice voice in your writing and I can always "hear" you when I read it. What we mean by "go deeper" means that instead of just saying "the pool water is blue" explain "why is the pool water blue." The difference is that instead of stating the obvious, you are actually analyzing causes or thinking about something besides the obvious. That's what "deeper" means. Who was your English teacher last year? Wait til I have a chat with him...oh wait...
