UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "How did Audrey Hepburn make fashion popular?" I already know that ballet flats, capri pants, and little black dresses with white gloves were very popular because she brought in style back in the 1940-50's. Also, "The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund" was founded after her death to carry on the things she believed in. She had a husband, Mel Ferrer after 14 years of marriage they divorced. She had a son named Sean. Furthermore, she was honored with a U.S postage stamp. Also, she wasn’t all that good at singing she sang “Moon River” in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” By doing more research I hope to learn more about are her quotes. -“People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.”

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips.

How can you tell if a website is a good resource for writing a research paper?

“You can tell if it good by the way it’s used and if they post good reviews.” –Emilia

“Using anything with .org and gov. anything that has references.”-Caroline

“It has lots of spam and the way its design cheaply.” -Brook

The advice that these people have given me is useful because it helps me figure out good info from bad info. Also to compare wether the material is good by being similar to my other sources. The website can as well give additional recourses such as books, newspaper articles, etc.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection.


I did not attend the Fourth Quarter Kickoff, because I felt as if it was a big waste of time. Therefore I'll talk about how a quote has affected the way I think about getting even with someone. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”-Gandhi. Hearing this I didn’t care that much about what it meant. I was focus on being right because I thought I was. Afterwords, I was thinking about what it was supposed to mean. Basically, it means that you shouldn't get somebody back for something they did wrong to you because in the long run, everyone is going suffer. I figured out that just forgiving is the only I can get even.
