The author’s thorough examination of primary and secondary evidence consists of letters, pamphlets, essays, scholarly books, and journal articles.

On the topic of participation awards, Lisa Heffernan and Vivian Diller have both published articles advocating either for, or against rewarding children at a young age, regardless if they’ve won a game or not. In terms of making a strong argument, both writers used celebrity testimonies, life experience, and quotes from reputable sources, some tactics more effective than others. In Lisa Heffernan’s article favoring participation trophies, “In Defense of Participation Trophies: Why They Really do Teach the Right Values,” she often pulls from her most powerful and relevant source to her topic- her son. Statements such as “When my son was around eight years old … he scoffed at the very idea that such an award existed.” would play a critical role in setting up a counter argument, but much like her other quotations in her article, it was followed by a statement from Hillary L. Friedman, a sociologist, that initially seems to back up her son’s opinion.…

When examining the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement from a gender perspective, past historians and scholars have primarily focused on the lives and influences of a few, celebrated female characters. For example, abolitionist heroines such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, who authored Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and Sojourner Truth have received significant attention and achieved revered status among scholars and non-academics alike. However, few individuals beyond the world of academia have heard of America’s first, southern, female abolitionists, Sarah and Angelina Grimké. The Grimké sisters, who belonged to the powerful planter aristocracy in South Carolina, were arguably two of the leading female abolitionists of the pre-Civil War era. They produced…
This was the first case I have ever studied and actually took an in-sight look on, and let me tell you, I was very unsatisfied, sick to my stomach and angry, to say the least. I am upset that it took twenty-three girls to be raped and even three murdered in order to finally see justice served, that in my opinion wasn’t even served. First off, just because the Scarborough rapes had stopped, they felt that there was no need to put Paul Bernardo’s DNA samples as high priority, and as a result pushed them to the back of the line and had to wait three years to hear an answer that many detectives had thought they knew anyways. What also upset me is that Paul Bernardo had the audacity to ask if he was able to have day parole. To even think that he feels he has a right to be in society is sickening, and the fact that he has shown no remorse for everything he has done proves that he is a psychopath.…

Amy Tan uses the precious jewelry that loses value when the Chinese mothers pass it down to their American grown children to demonstrate that the mother’s hope and wisdom also possess no value for the child because it was molded by a different culture that does not fit in with their way of life.

Topic Sentence 1: The Chinese mothers pass down their jewelry when their children are in a predicament presented to them by their American life; however, the jewelry does not possess qualities the American grown children need and therefore the mothers cannot use it to help them.…
The Abolitionist Movement in the U.S. prior to the American Civil War started with what was known as the “Second Great Awakening.” The awakening was a series of religious revivals between 1800-1840, led by the Methodist, Baptist, and Protestants. The “Second Great Awakening,” took on many causes the greatest being that of minority rights, which included the rights of African American Slaves. Due to Evangelicalism being the religion of common people, it appealed to women and Africa Americans and placed them under the umbrella of their cause. These revivals converted men and women, welcomed slaves to the revivals, encouraged black preachers, and advocated secular and spiritual equality.…

For the revolutionary act they took part of, they became noticed by clergymen.…
Angelina was also permanently barred from Charleston and threatened with mob violence, arrest, and imprisonment if she dared to venture into the city; subsequently, neither Angelina nor Sarah ever visited Charleston again. Although Angelina was exceedingly saddened by the South’s violent reactions to her appeal, and undoubtedly convinced that she had “sacrificed any friend I thought I had,” she concurrently believed that the abolitionist cause was “a cause worth dying for.” Additionally, the Philadelphia Society of Friends responded to the appeal by permanently disowning the Grimké sisters for publicly propagating their radical and dangerous anti-slavery philosophies. However, the “Appeal to the Christian Women of the Southern States” was enthusiastically received throughout the North, and rapidly published in numerous antislavery papers and reform journals. Furthermore, numerous, radical abolition groups vigorously praised Angelina Grimké for her fearless courage, and zealously labeled her as a crusader for African Americans and…
