In the first essay, the student starts by writing a short summary as to what the article is about. The student then lists the two reasons as to why Foer’s argument is persuasive in a straight-to-the-point, clear, and organized manner. This intro was probably the strongest of the four. However, the second paragraph starts off by writing about how many Americans do not want to accept soccer as a pastime as many other countries have. There is little argument made in this paragraph as to how Foer is persuasive; here it is mostly summary of the article.…

There has been a significant amount of debate around unpaid internships. Kaleigh Rogers and Andrew Lovesey, both of whom work as journalists, argue either side of the debate of whether unpaid internships in journalism should exist. Overall, Kaleigh Roger’s argument that Unpaid internships mean journalism is just for well-off elite was much more convincing, due to her evidence being more current and given and tone of the article being more passionate compared to Andrew Lovesey’s piece which argued that ending unpaid internships hurts the media and discriminates against self-educated journalists which used old evidence and had a disgruntled tone. Roger’s evidence was more convincing than Lovesey’s because it is taking into consideration, the modern aspects of the debate surrounding unpaid internships. In the Mind Wide Open by Jean Prinsen, it outlines that evidence needs to be “appropriate and current” to the argument in which it is supporting.…

In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…

By creating more jobs, the government can keep the people occupied with a reason to get through the day without getting involved with MS 13. El Salvador is one of the many countries in poverty. Creating more jobs will be difficult, but it can be done with the collaboration of the country’s people. Elaine Denny, from the New York Times says, “A business cannot grow in a place where gangs require monthly or even weekly fees” (Denny, 2015). In many ways she could be right, that is why the violence and abuse of MS 13 has to be stopped.…

Constructive Argument Generally the thoughts of death are taboo and death is seen as a terrible part of life. Most people fear death as it brings an uncertainty—both for what is to come after life and for how death will occur. An individual who has a terminal illness faces the questions surrounding death as doctors state that this person does not have long to live. While this person suffers through an immense amount of physical and psychological pain, doctors are required to keep the individual alive.…
But it seemed too hard for me that I didn’t know how to do it, I tried several times, but every time it made the essay a mess, I had to delete all the emotional parts and change the essay into a totally academic one, which in my mind is the most boring type among all of the articles. It was regretful. But I finally got an A-, it was a…
