Hangovers By Jennifer Pashley Summary
For this week, I have chosen ‘Hangovers’ which wrote by Jennifer Pashley, and My choice was random. In this short story, the writer described the vision and sensations at different moments of hangovers in different words. Pashley described many moments of hangovers at the home, at the school, at the college, and at the hospital. She used simple words to share her feelings with the readers. Actually, I liked the writer's descriptive style "That taste like strawberry milkshakes, fake and pink. The kind that froth in your brain." (Pashley, 2014, para. 1).

Pashley also wrote about a kind of hangover which accompanied you to the school, and how your face will be because of crying and puking. Besides to a noisy headache and your weak focus during

    In the essay “Hookups Starve the Soul” by Laura Vanderkam, we are given “insight” into college life and what the students may do with their free time. At first glance it may seem that Vanderkam is writing her essay and directing it towards students, but she is in fact directing it towards the parents and it seems that the audience is a hostile one too. Vanderkam tries to explain to the parents what is possibly and probably going on that they may not know about, and that it all falls on the parents, that it is their own fault. Her thesis being; “Some blame the sexual revolution. Some blame co-ed dorms and alcohol abuse. I blame something else.” Throughout Vanderkam’s essay she uses a logical argument, which is somewhat reasonable with supporting evidence. She also tries to establish credibility in her paper, and unfortunately her essay is saturated with logical fallacies.…

    Over the years, college has shifted from a place of learning where individuals go to voluntarily learn more about a field of study that they want to pursue, to a place that young people feel like they are forced to go to land a job or impress their parents. Known author, Caroline Bird, argues that our generation is only attending college for reasons that are “entirely irrelevant to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized.” Bird concludes that the new generation of college students only enrolls to impress their parents or have a good time away from home. I have come to the conclusion that Bird is correct in assuming that our generation is attending college for all the wrong reasons based on an overwhelming amount of…

On the other hand, for civilians, having criminals pay for their crimes is the greatest reward.
