    There are various effective arguments I would make to support students having homework by their teachers. The first argument I would make is that homework helps students to better retain the lessons they’ve learned during the school day. Students need a lot of exercises to do to retain what they learn everyday in school. Since class time isn’t enough to provide a lot of exercises on one subject, homework is the best way to exercise what’s been learned in class. If no homework is given to…

    In Sarah E. Newton’s article, ““The Jell-O Syndrome”: Investigating Popular Culture/Foodways,” she focuses on Jell-O and the connections it has with folklore and popular culture.

One of these claims is, “To many of us…

    resentful of death, he argues, since they have wanted and practiced for it a long time (64a–68a). In this paper I shall present Socrates’ argument for this conclusion and critically evaluate it. The argument appears to commit the fallacy of equivocation. But I think Socrates’ argument can be salvaged by very slightly reformulating it. Nevertheless, the argument tacitly assumes that the soul is immortal and survives the body’s death. Without a defense of this controversial…

    educational purposes, the argument of how they are teaching it tends to come up in conversation quite often. Students are being taught while reading that they can relate to Anne and the things that she is currently going through. Students tend to believe that they are facing some of the issues that Anne was forced to experience.

    In the essay “Stripped for parts” written, by Jennifer Khan the general concept she is addressing is how morbid it is for dead people and their bodies to be harvested for it organs. The way she starts the essay is by using a narrative approach, and the reason there is the narrative approach is for more effect of emotion to the readers. Her thesis statement that grabbed my attention the most was “Compared with such micro scare cures, transplants- which consist of salvaging entire organs from a…

    others. Through my experience and observation, I discovered that one of the most common reasons for students to get bad grades is the idea that school is not worth their time nor their effort. A problematic perspective. I plan to construct a sound argument against this viewpoint in hopes of convincing them that school is indeed a worthwhile pursuit. I do this so that these mistaken individuals may take advantage of the opportunity to acquire valuable knowledge and experience. In doing so,…

    Stefan Babich in his article, “The Fall of The Female Protagonist in Kids’ Movies” writes about the idea of a female protagonist dying in the “animation war” (n. pag.). He writes about how in recent days animation movies do not have a female protagonist who isn’t the cookie cutter princess. This is very similar to the view in Amanda Marcotte’s article titled, “The Shocking Radicalism of ‘Brave’” where she talks about how “Brave” is a movie that seemed to try to fall out of the algorithm but…
