While each of the European nationalities had different viewpoints of the Indians, they shared common points of view on them as well. Each article, written at different time periods, focuses on different aspects of the Indians way of life. In the first article, “Christopher Columbus Recounts His First Encounter with Native People ,1493," he seemed to be quite intrigued by the Indians and their land. He notes how beautiful the mountains and fields are and how superb the land is for planting and building towns. It then goes onto talk about their way of living. He notices that the men and women live naked. Columbus says that the Native people are wonderfully timid and attributed that to why they don’t have any steel, iron, and weapons. The Natives were very friendly people, they would never say no. They’re always willing to help out their fellow people and be happy with whatever they got in return. He continues with the observations he made about the role of man and woman. He finds it strange that the woman do more work than the men.…

As John Oliver is expressing in his show Last Week Tonight he is explaining the inequality in Puerto Rico and how they are one of the most poor countries and how poverty has taken over so much of this area. While he is explaining this the video goes into a side clip where it has a variety of different news stations reporting about the issues of poverty in Puerto Rico as well as speaking out about their debts (1.22). The mass media covering this story really expresses inequality for people in…

It is the culmination of everything I have learned in this class, and it shows. The essay only suffered from grammatical errors, one spelling error, an error in quoting, and one transition that needed to be smoothed. Addressing the grammatical errors and the one spelling error was simple. The confusion in the quotation was an oversight on my part. The first part of the quote was actually a quote from the pizzeria itself, needing double quotations. The second part was the ABC news article…

Writing a topic that we are interested and related to us is easier for us to develop the ideas on an essay; however, finding an interesting article from tons of links are hard for me, I literally went through all the links that are provided on Beachboard just to find an article that I have motivation to work on it. So, I eventually decided to pick an article named “Being the Fat Girl in a Big Fat Asian Family”. I was fascinated by this article because of a picture of Kpop idol “Girls Generation”…

believe in some kind of magic, especially when we feel we need it the most such as during dangerous situations, even though they are not proven to increase our probability of a specified event. George Gmelch and Richard Felsen released an article pertaining this subject. The article, entitled “Can a Lucky Charm Get You Through Organic Chemistry”, gave the general public a somewhat easy-to-read article, which provided an experimental result about how many people believe in magic and what they…

One example would be an alarming statistic given by a poll through the University of Central Florida that states, “50 percent of 3-to 6-year-old girls worry that they are fat” (Hanes 510). By Hanes giving such evidence she can enforce an impression on to her readers indirectly, making her argument appear to be not prejudiced. Another piece of information in the essay was given by The Kaiser Family Foundation who reported that “on average, children ages 8 to 18 consume 10 hours,…

tradition. The news article, “Gimme Shelter”, written by Corinne Purtill communicates a similar subject, but in a different context. He informs his audience about the immigration crisis in Europe and how humanitarian organizations are trying to purchase shelters from Ikea to house “displaced people”. The two pieces have a…

(ODCs). They do this through discussing the inefficiency in governmental secrecy, deterrence, regulation and private company control in their journal article “Secrecy and Human Rights Abuse in Australia’s Offshore Immigration Detention Centres”. Written in 2016, the treatment of asylum seekers is still an ongoing and serious debate because of questionable leaked footage of ODCs. Nethery and Holman use sufficient and substantial…

confusing. However towards the end of the trimester I began to understand how to compose the essays while having the right information. I chose to attach essay 3 and 4 because I felt like they showed how much I have improved and how the issues were explained properly, while focusing on main tasks. Therefore, throughout the English 101 class I thought that understanding rhetoric and generating ideas towards arguments was the hardest. As I finished each of the essays they became less difficult…
