    In the first chapter of “Encountering God” the author Diana Eck starts by explaining that the book is her experiences in encountering different religions. “All of us have rivers deep within us, bearing the waters of joining streams.” I loved this starting quote it feels like she is open to any view. She knows that different beliefs are a good thing, and that we all have to experience different people because we need to be mixed together for us to grow and form our own views. Throughout the rest of the chapter she is telling us all about Bozeman, Montana. The memories she had from the town and the descriptions she made where vivid. What was a small frontier like town when she was a girl is now a busy city.…

    In his blog post, Sean Patrick Hughes discusses his concern over the election by arguing that a Donald Trump presidency could be a significant barrier to the fight against division in our country. He begins his post by clearing articulating where his view is coming from; he is not a “safe space, social crusader,” but rather identifies as “someone with conservative values” who loves God, his family, and his guns. The first paragraph is entirely dedicated to establishing ethos because he understands that to effectively argue to his audience, they must not instantly write him off as a “leftist cry baby” or a “right-wing nut job,” as is so common in many opinion pieces relating to the election. The next paragraphs are dedicated to providing a background…

    The death penalty is a major topic for debate Shannon Rafferty defends in her portfolio published by Penn State entitled “Death Penalty Persuasive Essay.” She believes the penalty should be allowed because it functions as a deterrent, it provides society retribution and it is morally just. Olivia H. disagrees with use of the death penalty in her essay “Capital Punishment Is Dead wrong.” She tells about the risk of punishing the innocent, and how the states are doing irreversible acts of crime. As the authors disagree about whether the death penalty should be allowed, they have some common ground when it comes to admitting the potential for human error and in both disagreeing to the use of barbaric punishments by the government.…
