"WHAT STREET?" "WATTS STREET!" "WHAT STREET??" "WATTS STREET!"

Second Life is supposed to be a way for people with different interests, races, sexes, and, but not limited to, sexual orientations to come together, escape, and hopefully have a good time. When Second Life was first introduced, the creators hoped that eventually businesses could have meetings in Second Life.

This dream is coming true as shown through my teacher, Iggy, who frequently holds meetings with other educators in Second Life. Even though it looks like that it's really easy to have these meetings, I believe the opposite. I have reasoned that the biggest problem Second Life faces as a communications technology is that it is not very easy for the "newbs."

My teacher, Iggy, has been working with Second Life for over two years. I have been working with Second Life for barely two months. I can not think about having meetings in Second Life. I would not even know how to start one or where it could be held.

I do not think that there is any thing in the "Getting Started" guide for Second Life on how to start or where to hold a meeting. I would love to know how to start a meeting in Second Life because the future is going to make us have these meetings in places like Second Life.

  1. Second Life is supposed to be a way for people with different interests, races, sexes, and, but not limited to, sexual orientations to come together, escape, and hopefully have a good time.

    This claim can lead me to ten assumptions:
    1.various types of people use second life
    2."supposed" implies that you disagree with the statement you are about to make
    3."not limited to" implies that there are many other differences people on Second Life may have.
    4."come together" implies that the people in Second Life work together for a common goal.
    5."escape" implies the people are leaving the real world for virtual worlds.
    6."escape" also makes it seem like the real world is not a place a person would want to be.
    7.second life is being portrayed as a place to go where people don't judge you.
    8."hopefully" implies that you may or may not have a good experience
    9"have a good time" implies that second life is fun
    10.you, the writer, also seem like you have a positive view of second life but also recognize its not perfect
