Body: Each of your supporting points in your defense will need a paragraph. State your point as a way of creating a topic sentence for an evidence paragraph. You'll need at least three and probably no more than five. Each evidence paragraph should have specific support by way of facts, statistics, examples, or other details. You may use personal example as some of your supporting detail, but try to use more objective support as well. Body: Each of your supporting points in your defense will need a paragraph.

position with the Division of Economic Security (DES)?’ this is my response. Over the years I have held several different office type jobs. I started out as a temporary worker for DES, in a file room in the Child Support Division. I was required to build files for different units; maintain a log of the files that were being received, transferred out, and sent to the warehouse. The files sent to the warehouse were given a secondary number by the warehouse, in case a file had to be retrieved; this was the tracking system that allowed the warehouse to locate the appropriate file. I worked in DES as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) for the Family Assistance Administration (FAA). As a CSR I was required to perform a wide range of clerical duties; distributing mail/inter-office mail and faxes, pulling and filing files in the file room, registering/scheduling incoming applications, ensuring the case managers had their list of appointments for the day and the incoming paperwork that accompanied it, answering the switchboard to guide/answer incoming calls from consumers, and scan information the case managers had gathered from the consumers into the system. The position as a CSR proved tested my ability to multi-task and to prioritize and re-prioritize with the day to day changes.…
Should America legalize an illegal drug, as way out of the economical downfall we have found ourselves in? A popular article appeared in April of 2009 in Times magazine, catching millions of readers’ attention. The article was titled, “Why Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense” and was written by Joe Klein. Cannabis, America’s drug of choice for the past eighty-five years has been a plant otherwise known as marijuana or weed. Everyday millions of American dollars are circulated illegally through the drug market. The article shed light on a subject that was beginning to be more popular than America led it on to be. The article argued very truthful and valid points by stating that our government searches for an answer to our national debt and for a way out of an almost economical depression every day, when the answer lies directly in front of us.…
A stereotype is a predisposed idea about a group of people based on limited information you have heard or seen and assumed to be true about every individual in that group. In “Don’t Call Me a Hot Tamale,” Judith Ortiz Cofer describes how being Puerto Rican affects her every day. People make rude comments about her, based on her ethnicity, and without knowing her. Cofer describes how she was stereotyped in different situations. From being compared to a Latina character in a play to having her culture misinterpreted. She does not fight against this prevaricate ideas. Instead, she travels around the United States and reads from her books and poetry trying to clear stereotypes about Latinos. As Cofer describe “replace them with a more interesting set of realities” (Cofer 666). However, individuals are still being exaggerated categorized according to their culture.…
The character of Macbeth in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the narrator in Edgar Allen Poe’s story The Tell Tale Heart has many key similarities. They both plan out and commit a murder of someone in their sleep but go insane after they have committed it. The first similarity is that both these character begin to go insane from the guilt of committing a murder in cold blood. Macbeth begins to hear voices after he commits the murder of King Duncan. He says “Still it cried ‘sleep no more!’ to all the house: ‘Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more: Macbeth shall sleep no more!” (2.2.41-43). In The Tell Tale Heart, the narrator starts hearing the beating of the old man’s heart. The beating heart drives him to the point where he tells the police officers in the room about the corpse buried under the floorboards. At the very end of the story he says “’Villains!’ I shrieked, ‘dissemble no more! I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! – here, here! – it is the beating of his hideous heart!’” (Poe, 4). They both began hearing things and went crazy from the guilt of the murder. The other similarity between the two is that they both planned out and executed a murder specifically when their victim was asleep. Macbeth planned to murder King Duncan. He had planned it all out from the signal bell to the guards who would be his scapegoats. As Macbeth approaches King Duncan’s chamber, he says “I go and it is done: the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a kneel, that summons thee to heaven or to hell.” (2.1.62-64). In The Tell Tale Heart, the narrator devised a plan throughout the span of many days to murder an old man because his eye resembled that of a vulture. He spent many night planning and doing small things that would eventually lead to him murdering the old man. While explaining why he did it, the narrator said “Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - - very gradually - - I…

Chapter ten of Niccolo Ammanti’s, “I’m Not Scared” captures the theme of courage and loyalty, and this is emphatically exemplified through Michele’s compelling search for friend Fillippo. Ammaniti demonstrates that a child’s faith and bravery is unconquerable, in his endeavour to portray the true meaning of courage, friendship, fearlessness and compassion. This can be seen through Michele’s dreaded ride to Melichetti’s farm in order to find and rescue an endangered and imperilled Fillippo. Through using his fanciful imagination to preclude his abstract fears and act in the ways of his idols, Michele was not only able to encourage himself to urge on, but to convince himself that “(he) must be brave”, and that “there’s nothing to be scared of”. Through the gripping actions and emotions of Michele in the final chapter of this enthralling novel, Ammaniti accentuates the themes of courage, bravery and growing up in a poignant and powerful manner.…
He stood about five foot seven, however with his broad shoulders and huskiness, he looked shorter than average. His reddish-brown hair was newly cut and freshly brushed it looked like an ocean of waves in his head. On his plump face, normally scratchy and prickly, is also a newly cut reddish-brown mustache and goatee. His unusual light skin makes it hard for him to get or keep a tan. He just gets a shade of red in the sun then right back to normal out of it, but if he did get a tan, no one would be able to see the brown freckles around his nose. It’s no wondered how he received the nickname Red Man. On this particular day, his day, he wore his favorite pair of gold diamond earrings that shined so brilliant when the sun hit them a rainbow would appear. He also wore his favorite gold necklace with a diamond shaped medallion that has diamonds on it shaped into a cross. The necklace hung so low it touched his stomach. The necklace he had tucked under his shirt so no one could see it, but I new it was there. He wore a white collared button-up shirt with silver rectangular cuff links that had a small diamond in one corner. On top of the white shirt was an indigo and black suit vest. His bottoms were somewhat baggy black polyester dress pants with shiny black lines on the sides of both legs held up by a black belt with a silver buckle that spelled out Redd. His black shoes were so shiny; he looked like he just stepped off a shoe shine stand. The biggest thing that made him so unique was his creamy white double breasted suit jacket. It had black buttons and one indigo colored flower in the pocket. Despite his previous feeling of being uncomfortable in wearing a lighter color because of his size, his choice made him look especially handsome. It was perfect for his day.…
It is 8:33 am. Students make quick glances at the clock, mentally begging for it to turn faster. Time almost seems to move backwards, and every passing second feels like an hour. Ding! Finally, class has ended. Hordes of students escape the classroom quicker than a pack of gazelle running from a ferocious tiger. They begin to walk through the halls and instantly search for someone to converse with and discuss how uninterested they were in the previous class. Being the intelligent individuals they are, at the same time, almost every student in the school decides to use the main staircase. Walking up the main staircase is like standing in an elevator with 20 people over maximum occupancy and having to get to the top floor of the Empire State Building. The two-minute bell rings. Students bid farewell to their friends for another excruciating hour, and the pace of the students quickens. A majority of the students go to class. The final bell rings. The students remaining in the halls begin their walk towards the tardy tracker, about as quickly as a sloth without arms or legs. They can be heard complaining and openly expressing their opinions of tardy tracker. Class begins, and students begin staring at the clocks, calculating how much longer they must suffer.…
