Time in Iraq” are short daily journal entries written by a soldier named Colby Buzzell. These journals Buzzell writes are the experiences he goes through in Iraq.

Its hard to judge who should be named correct and accurate based on the information given‚ but with the support of assessing someone’s credibility‚ I would have to lean more towards Colby’s theory. There is sufficient reasoning behind selecting either one of these doctors‚ as they are in fact‚ both licensed doctors.

The main claim of chapter four is rather straight forward in the way the text is laid out by Colby. From the first paragraph‚ he begins by discussing the unwillingness of some blacks in regards to the issue of integration. The issue that the chapter focuses on is very different than the rest of the book up to this point. Up until chapter four Colby has put most of the focus on the flaws of the whites in the situation. I think his order is interesting as it show he is very aware of his constraints

Touching Behavior Paper 2 Comm 308 Christine Payne 3/25/2014 In most cases I would not consider myself a so called “toucher.” I do not go out of my way to touch someone.
