This is represented when Lily generates a relationship with Rosaleen and the Boatwright sisters that she never signified with her father, “We all came together and hugged, it was like they were family.” Personally, I feel very enthusiastic and connected to this moral; after reading and imagining the pain and sorrow Lily went through with her father and the connection she made with the Boatwright sister; family isn't just by blood. I've had many occurrences where i have called groups of friends or relatives my second family and I mean it; Yes, it may not be as drastic as Lily’s situation but I still understand what she feels. Character wise, Lily spoke the most to me due to her dramatic development throughout the story. At the beginning she was a scared and vulnerable kid with little to none knowledge about the world; at the end Lily becomes a whole other person, she’s independent, proud, and strong. (“‘DAD I'M NOT A KID ANYMORE’”) A Belief i felt influenced me is how Rosaleen sticks to her moral rights has a human being no matter what; she won't take racism from anyone.

Before discussing the four key literary elements used by Wolff, it is important to address the plot of the story. Prior to the main event of the story taking place, there were a few minor events that happened that lead us to the ultimate plot of the story. The first of these events is when the narrator got promoted to work the in the hay. This is where he met and worked with three other guys; one of his classmates named Clemson and two Hispanics, Miguel and Eduardo. The next important event that took place is when Eduardo’s car broke down. This lead Clemson to begin driving all of them, including the narrator, to and from work. One day when Clemson was dropping Miguel and Eduardo off at their motel, they invited the Clemson and the narrator in for a drink which is the last event that lead to the main plot of the story.
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
Persuasion is a skill that can be acquired and utilized with a mastery of writing. Arguing against the popular belief is one of the most difficult things that one can do. The following essay rhetorically analyzes an article that is written about why the legal drinking age should stay at 21 years old in the United States. The author of the article attempts to argue against the popular opinion that the drinking age should be lowered and is successful by using appeals to one’s logos. The author is an experienced writer and knows how to convey their ideas to convince people of his argument. Understanding why someone is writing a piece, what their motivation is, and how they try to convince the reader of their argument helps gain a more comprehensive grasp of what the subject matter itself is. Personally, I look to argue against popular opinions because it enables me to critically think of a sound argument that can not easily be disputed. This essay helped me
Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.
The Holy Grail for writing a good story includes elements such as setting, plot, theme, conflict, and mostly importantly, the characters. These elements are the most basic elements and they help the reader to understand the key message that the author is trying to convey in the story.

While all fields of academia possess some level of practical application, there remains an ever-important and all-encompassing skill which is needed to truly understand each subject: reading. Though literacy rates in the US near 100%, literacy unaccompanied by tools such as context, critical analysis, and sufficient skepticism can leave one lost in arduous texts and vulnerable to flawed arguments. This notion is rarely rejected by anyone at face value, rather, questions regarding the implementation and perceived importance of certain reading strategies alienates differing camps. Many attempts at mitigating the dilemma of subpar reading comprehension have been made, most notably, Daniel Willingham's proposed reform of early education, Michael
When comprising an argument, the use of rhetorical strategies is essential to planning out how one presents both the chosen argument and the evidence for their position. To understand these strategies and how they are used allows for a deeper understanding of the argument and invokes critical thinking. For instance, in Journalist Joanmarie Kalter’s piece “Exposing Media Myths: TV doesn’t affect you as much as you think”. The author attempts to convince the reader that the notion, that TV is the number one source of information used today and therefore holds immense sway over the general public, is false. And because of how the rhetorical strategies are used in the article. She manages to get the reader to second guess the notion that TV holds
Dennis P. Kimbo once said, “Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.” Despite the numerous obstacles of life, people can choose how they react. Today, many people are faced with the obstacle of life threatening diseases. By some diseases being incurable, the cloud of only having so much longer to live hangs over them. As a result, some may choose the option of euthanasia if it is available. In the contrasting pieces of writing, Kara Tippetts use of ethos about euthanasia is more convincing than Brittany Maynard use of logos.
Imagine the look on a veteran’s face as he notices players kneel in disrespect at the sound of the national anthem. Many fans and veterans were disappointed to see Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback in the NFL, refuse to stand while the national anthem was being played. Kaepernick’s actions insulted fans and hurt the sport. When America had no role in creating the racist tragedies, yet it is being disrespected for the incidents. The national anthem protests have not benefited democracy.
In Bj Gallagher’s article “Donald Trump Is the Epitome of Everything the World Detests -- And Admires -- About America”(Sep.2, 2015), She Implies the positive and negative attributes in Donald Trump, and whether you should vote for him or not.

Her purpose is to surpass his brash ego in order to to show he is worth putting your trust in.
My major is Psychology, because it is an extremely broad field, I have chosen a very specific topic. I have some experience working with autistic children and am very interested in mental disorders. The topic that I have chosen is mental disorders and service animals. Many people are aware of service dogs for the visually impaired, but not for other disabilities. The articles explain how certain service animals help children with mental disabilities in different ways. Every kind of disability requires different types of unique assistance and care. I believe that the authors are trying to inform the general public of nontraditional assistance for people of special needs. I believe that the author has chosen the general public as the audience
An example of how her family values each other is her description of the conventions and norms of her family. They are thoroughly supportive of one another, attending every graduation, baby shower, birthday, and house warming party. Her father and siblings have burial plots together so that they are never separated. Life is lived with everyone being connected and concerned for not only each person’s well-being, but happiness as well. She says her “relatives form an alliance that represents a genuine and enduring love of family…”
Corporates integrate themselves into the daily lives of their consumers by choosing social normalities solely for their selfish interest. Bartyzel in his article mentions how individual lives become normal without realization that those social changes are made by corporations for their own selfish benefits. She writes, “excessive repetition of Princess products, which encompassed everythingfrom pens to Band-Aids, had a significant effect on her daughter. It even informed how adults interacted with her child, offering ‘princess pancakes,’ pink balloons, and even a ‘princess chair’ at the dentist office” (Bartyzel 468). Pink color and princess dresses became normal thing and all girls are thought of having those similar interests. Another impact
