1: Overall concerns that I have with my research:
1. Having trouble getting non bias, primary sources that realte back to the initial subject. (getting reports from socialites, but not relating to my subject)
2. Having outdated sources that relate to my subject, but not with recent times.
3. Finding a source on the "other side" of New York Fashion Week, people who dont belive it is important.
2. Summary of each source:

Source #1: Interview with Michael Kors about New York Fashion Week...
I feel that this qualifies as a primary source because it is a personal interview regarding fashion from a designer participating in NYFW therefore he has a first hand ecperience with the actual event. I choose this sourse becuase he had many good things to say about the people that attend the fashion shows, which is what my subject is. It addresses my topic by relating the fashion shows to the people from New York who attend. The sourse basically gives MK's opinion about fashion week, his particular line, the people who attend, and the series of events that take place. Instead of giving an outside view of the event, it states the opinion of the designer, which is important because they play a big role in the fashion shows. Since the article was about MK, it is rhetorical and bias towrds not only his spring 2010 line, but fashion week in a whole. Some outside sources might belive that fashion week is a waste of time, money and resources, but by reading what MK has to say about fashion week, one would not even consider to think it is a waste.

Source #2: Article written about Fashion Week by a New York socialite, who attended the events...
I feel that the sourse qualifies as a primary source becuase my subject deals with how New York socialites and New York Fashion Week relate to one another, and this article relates the two subjects first hand by having a New York socialite write about the events. I choose this source becuase it related my subjects together really well, and covered the topic from an important view. It clearly addresses my topic by involving both sides of my argument. The source is just a general summary of the events that took place during New York Fashion Week, and how the socialite felt about each event, designer, and line. The article was very rhetorical becuase it convienced the audience that New York Fashion Week was an important event, as well as convienced the audience which lines were better than others.

Source #3: an article in the Tobe report, one of the leading trend forcasting magazines, regarding Fashion Week...
This source qualifies as a primary source becuase it is a professional view of New York Fashion Week. I choose this source becuase I figured it would give the most knowledgable imformation about NYFW and it was a credible sourse. It also gave statistics and facts instead of just opinions. THis source was just an overview of the events that took place and the trends that came out of the shows. The article was rhetorical becuase it was persuading the audience to believe in the future trend that were forcasted to take place.

Unit 2 research experience

My reasearch experience for my topic wwent well becasue I was able to find a number of plausible primary sources. I was also very intersted in what I was researchnig, which made it a lot easier to spend a good amount of time researching. However, while I was researching my topic, I found it very difficult to stay on my subject without drifting off topic because there were so many intereesting articles concernong sub topics. One interesting thing I read about was how New York socialites rise among others, and how they officially begin to carry the title as a New York Socialite. The sources that I found cover my topic becuase I found sources from all angles and sides of my research topic. I was able to get a good idea about y subject becasue I had first hand stories and experiences from many different parties involved. All of my sources are connected in a way because they deal with the same subject, and with how one another view the topic.

Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week:
Fashion week is a week long event held in the fashion district of New York City. It's a time for mega name designers around the world to preview and show their apparel lines for Fall 2009. They create lines for the runway that will inspire their fall lines for the public. Most of the clothes seen on the runway are either a vaunt garde, or only given to celebrities to wear. New York Fashion Week is an interesting topic because there are so many different sub categories to look further in to. Designers, models, press, and New York socialites are all topics that branch from NYFW.

I choose to observe and write a space analysis on Fussys becuase it is very significant and importna to me for a number of reasons. First of all, I love the food! Fuzzys has some of the greatest food in the TCU area and that is significant becuase it draws me to go there at least weekley! Second, becuase I go to Fuzzys so much, I have developed a firnedship with the employees and regulars. It is great to know there is a restaurant to go to where you will know people everytime you enter. It creats an exciting atmosphere and makes it comfortable to overstay a usual restaurant visit. Also, Fuzzys is important to me because I have spent so many great times there with my friend, and met many new ones!

First I took observations of Fuzzy’s Taco Shop on Wednesday night around 8:00pm. When I first arrived, there were only 14 people there, all were eating meals. The music was low, and the atmosphere was calm. There was soccer on the TV, but nobody was really watching. People were engaging in quiet conversation. Around 8:30, 2 representatives from the Michelob Beer Company came in and gave samples out of the Michelob light 64 beer in plastic cups, also offering free cozies to anyone who bought the beer that night. One table took the plastic cups and began playing “flip cup” buying a new beer after every round, and receiving a number of free cozies. Around 9:00pm the restaurant started to get more crowded with college students coming for drinks. People began buying songs on the jukebox and the music started to get louder. The table playing flip cup started to talk really loud, which caused everyone in the restaurant to speak louder. By the time we left, Fuzzy’s was packed with college students who all knew each other for the most part, drinking, eating, and being loud!

The few arguments of fact that I found while doing observations at Fuzzy's Taco Shop were mainly seen in the signs and informational argument pieces. The menu, for instance, would be considered an argument of fact because it clearly stated the correct and factual prices of food. Another argument of fact would be the sign at Fuzzy's that sates you have to be 21 years if age in order to purchase an alcoholic beverage. One xample of an argument of definition that I observed ___
