    The first journal that caught my attention and fit the category of “a personal response to a theme/topic in the novel” was providing a narrative which exemplifies my relationship with my best friend: the fourth journal entry. The reason why I chose this specific journal is because it really tackled the personal experience I once had with my former relationship and how it tied in with knowledge and beliefs. My interpersonal relationship with my former best friend resembled a certain situation that the characters in the book discussed; in both instances, both of us changed our views on seeing the advantages and disadvantages of a problem and seeing what consequences come with each side. Being in a relationship is a gateway to learning new things…

    In the persuasive article by Scott Anderson, the rhetor puts together an argument using the six components, Exordium, narration, partition, confirmation, refutation, and conclusion. He claims that minors should not be put into the adult system yet he strives more for people to ponder the situation at a much higher level of thinking. The exordium is used to grab the attention of the audience and show he is worth listening to. Since it is a difficult case, Anderson must use an insinuation. The insinuation is needed to ease a hostile audience into listening.…

    1. Although the article is in interview format, Northrop Frye nonetheless advances a thesis. What is it?

However, an individual in my group believes that Frye was trying to prove that the humanities are the backbone of the human experience (Group discussion, Sept 7).…

    I chose this site because it looked extremely informative and a well-published American Historian, David Saville Muzzey, wrote the article of writing, so I knew that it would be accurate. The site gives an in-depth description about the settling of the New England colonies in December of 1620. In the article, I read that the initial voyage to Plymouth was “never granted a charter by the King”, which means that in the eyes of the English, the small colony was never actually legal. This makes the whole idea of colonizing New England interesting because the Pilgrims seem to be rebellious and when I hear “rebel”, Pilgrims are the last thing on my mind because of how religious they are.…

    It is difficult to empathize with a person if you have not experienced a single day in their lives. For example, how could a white person possibly say they understand what it is like to be black? However, that does not mean they cannot sympathize with that person and feel a sense of compassion for them. I feel like many people who were pro slavery lacked this term, which resulted in hatred and racism toward a group of people. The articles written by Mary Kay Ricks and Adam Goodheart portray a period where African Americans were inferior to whites.…

    While reading the USA Today I found a very interesting article that that grab my attention as we are approaching the holidays. The article written by Joyce M. Rosenberg shows how people are lowering the amount of spending as we approach the festivities since more and more people raise awareness of their expenses.

In attempts to understand the main causes of poverty in American society, in Fischer’s & Hout’s article there was found an idea of class-segregated community. It means that the idea of equality among American population is myth because the truth is hidden in the fact that the rich are living their own life, while the poor experience many problems on their way to survival. Moreover, big corporations, presenting the rich, function on the principle of everything for their prosperity and nothing for others. In other words, this is the doctrine of a…
