    CWV-101 Professor Carleton The Cosby Show This assignment proved to be a very difficult one for me‚ for the very fact that I just don’t watch a lot of television at all. I don’t find much of anything at all that is entertaining to me. So many of the sit coms today have such a dysfunctional portrayal of families and I find that many of them down right degrade and show nothing but disrespect for the father’s especially. Nonetheless I chose to use “The Cosby Show” as my program of choice because it

    During my research‚ I found that ‘In Cold Blood’ was far from “immaculately factual”‚ as Truman Capote claims it to be.

He explains that by qualifying a statement he disagrees with‚ he can convince a reader of his own opinions. Secondly‚ Capote refused to use a tape recorder. Although he claimed to be 94% accurate at remembering interviews‚ he
