tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid’’”. This is quote is a perfect example of this because it made my point exceptionally stronger in my Extended Argument Essay. My grammar and vocabulary have been profoundly upgraded as well. “This is why the tests were made, but I do not believe this is how they are implemented in the schools”. This example from my Informational Argumentative Essay shows how much I have grown in this area throughout this semester. Having stronger…
In my argumentative essay I defend why football is a dangerous sport and should be avoided with young children ages 6-12. My previous essay used data from secondary sources and primary sources, however supporting my stance with only words was a challenge. Without visual and audio elements I felt I had trouble communicating with the reader. My remediation into a prezi uses a combination of videos and images to present the consequences of playing football. To support my claims I use evidence from…
Having this little bit of taste of what college is really like, is what has made me feel confident about writing papers for my other classes. Also, having a persistent teacher has instilled this confidence in me too. These are only a few examples of what Dual Enrollment has done for me. Over the course have noticed that I have developed a particular writing style. My style is that I like to begin the first sentence of personal writing with something dramatic but still keeping it serious;…
Having activities such as discussions in class is extremely helpful for one to improve their writing. For example, after we wrote the three summaries on canvas, we did not act as if “that was it, let us go into a different subject.” Rather, we delved deeper, and listened to everything someone had to say about the matter. We told the student if something did not…

crustacean, meaning aquatic arthropod. Thinking about other types of arthropod, there are spiders, centipdes/millipedes, insects, and etc. Although they all have different scientific names, they are all called “bugs”. Here Wallace uses definitional argumentative claims. He says lobsters are bugs. They are “basically giant sea-insects.” He explains why lobsters are arthropods. Like many other arthropods, “they date from the Jurassic period.” And although people who love bugs would not agree, they…
place as King. The speech Creon gave was his argument against Oedipus’ assumptions. In the tragic play, Oedipus Rex, rhetorical questions, personification, and metaphors are employed to demonstrate how the author, Sophocles, portrayed Creon as an argumentative, logical character, in contrast to Oedipus.…
When I was a child, my impression of what the future would be like was incredibly distorted. Flying cars, robotic housekeepers, and intelligent machinery---something straight out of the Jetsons---comprised my perception of “the future.” The older I got, the better I understood that, frankly, these ideas are unrealistic. Interestingly, Kevin Kelly, author of Why Robots Will---and Must---Take Our Jobs, suggests that automation will be a commonplace process within the century. By “automation,”…
