Citation Websites

I've used Citation Machine in the past and thought it was a spectacular tool, but I'll never use it again after discovering EasyBib! It's easy to navigate and I had no trouble at all trying to use it. Needless to say, I was disappointed when I used Source Aid right after, for it was nowhere near as simple to use as EasyBib. It took me a moment to see where my final citation was on Source Aid, while I found my final product on EasyBib right away. On Citation Machine, it was a bit confusing trying to find the right format to use.
So there you have it; I would recommend that newcomers to use the EasyBib website because it's fast and easy to use and you should have no trouble at all with it!

Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt

In December 1913, Theodore Roosevelt, 55, plunged into an exciting journey to the River of Doubt in Brazil. This river, then uncharted, was seen as an escape route from New York and the political troubles he was dealing with there, as well as an opportunity to visit his son, Kermit. The trip, however, was terribly hazardous and nearly killed Roosevelt in his fifties. Aided by Candido Rondon, Brazil’s most famous explorer of that time, Roosevelt and his group made it out alive, though not completely healthy. Theodore Roosevelt caught malaria and a high-fever during his journey, and was bedridden for weeks. Once he finished his journey in the River of Doubt, Roosevelt published a book, Through the Brazilian Wilderness, which documented his and Kermit’s tale. Kermit married the US Ambassador of Spain’s daughter, Belle Willard, and the Rio of Doubt was later renamed the Rio Roosevelt to honor his father. A tributary of the Rio Roosevelt was also renamed the Rio Kermit to honor him as well.

Things I Am Thankful For

Avatars.

1. An avatar is an animated representation of a person or thing posted on the Internet that you can edit and personalize to fit your liking.

2. A person may use an avatar in personal life to represent yourself in a video game or something of that same manner. You could also use avatars on your Yahoo! account to use as your icon. You may also use it for business purposes to use as a mascot for your company; you can also use an avatar to advertise a product. Lastly, you might use an avatar for your educational career as a sort of didactic resource, in which you can explain instructions with an audio-enabled avatar (i.e. Voki.)

3. I have in fact used avatars in the past, though I've stopped using them around the age of nine. I several in the past for my childhood Yahoo! account, but I personally feel like they're a bit childish and I outgrew them.

4. Out of the three websites, I would have to say that I enjoyed Clay Yourself the most. Though the other two were perfectly splendid, I like Clay Yourself because it was easy to use and navigate around, and I thought the gallery feature they used was nifty. The last reason I liked this website sounds childish and shallow, but I personally really liked it the most because they had better clothing options than Voki and GoAnimate.
