Welcome to my Web site!

         My full name is John Peter Dekruiff. I grew up in a small town an hour and a half south of Northern. My major is Corporate Finance. During the first semester of English 103. I have been able to shape my writing in many ways I thought impossible. I wrote about three Main topics: Media, Jean Toomer, and Bowling for Columbine.

Paper 1

Media

Paper 2

Jean Toomer

       The first paper was on the Media and how it affects our everyday life. I addressed how advertising shapes our everyday lives. I addressed important signs of advertising like drunk driving ads and ads about the legal limit for blood alcohol. I then linked it to my personal experience with the loss of my best friend to a drunk driver.
 

       The second paper I chose to write about past slavery in the works of Jean Toomer. The story was called, "Blood Burning Moon." This story directly relates to what was going on during the time of publication. There are many things that affects a writers thoughts. One that sticks out the most is their family life and their experiences.

Paper 3

Bowling for Columbine

 

       One tragedy that affected the world was the shooting. Michael Moore directed a film which personified what happened and possible solutions. One solution that I argued in my third paper was that lyrics directly affect the psyche of teens and put hate inside them. Michael Moore interviews some musicians to get answers but there were no solutions. By researching I concluded that with the latest studies the lyrics that teens constantly listen to can put ideas in their heads and duplicate things said by musicians.
