    I have to say this a very disturbing article as Lloyd Olsen was very insensitive and cruel to the poor chicken. I believe this statement is very cruel “When Olsen found Mike the next morning, sleeping with his "head" under his wing, he decided that if Mike had that much will to live, he would figure out a way to feed and water him” (City of Fuita, 2015). Although I disagree with what he did to the chicken I have to say it is fascinating that Mike the headless chicken was able to survive for 18 months without his head. The reason I believe Mike the headless chicken was able to live was because as Olsen hit him with the blade he missed the chicken’s jugular vein which is one of the large veins in the neck that supplies blood from the head to…

    It follows that; the use of sources provides readers with the most reliable information. The use of sources is evident in the paper written by Brandon Jorritsma in comparison to the paper written by an unknown writer. For example, in the paper written by the unknown writer, the writer states, “But the most serious problem with cell phones is without a doubt driving while talking or texting”. As a result of not providing a source, this creates the impression of a personal opinion. On the contrary, sources in Brandon Jorritsma’s essay are linked to a work-cited page. Overall, Brandon Jorritsma’s essay presents a strong use of source compared to the writing of the unknown author.…

    Paula Neidlinger’s presents the information in the same understand that was talked about in class but it is in a condescending manner. The video opened with music that grabbed your attention, for the few first seconds. However, the music was played all throughout the video was distracting and was hard to follow the advice she was giving because the music was louder than her voice. She jumped around from point to point with not consistency to understanding. Her key findings of what, who, where, and how give a good outline to follow. Not reading the article all the way through is not something advice able. When demonstrating her key points, she was jumping everywhere with the notes and the underlining of words trying to show the facts. Overall,…

    1. The claim for this piece is the author is asking whether or not the use of the internet is making us smarter. After reading the essay, I would have to agree with the author that the internet isn’t making us dumber but it isn’t necessarily making us smarter either. In order for people to become smarter or more knowledgeable they would have to put in the time and effort. So if someone doesn’t put in that effort to learn something than they can’t expect to become more knowledgeable.…

    As a youth, I often wrote essays for school. Although writing isn’t my strong point, I recently have learned new skills and tactics to formulate decent articles. I also have learned what to notice while reading articles. Following the reading of three articles, I can analyze and evaluate them and identify several essential elements. I plan to determine the strengths and weaknesses, the effectiveness of evidence presented and determined if the author has proven their thesis statement. The three essays I chose for my paper were “Childhood Obesity” by Janet Barnett, “Taking the “Rap” For Violence in Music” by Kerri Bennett,…

    “It should not be Permissible to Torture Suspected Terrorists to Gather Information” by Vincent Iacopino and “The Case for Torture” by Michael Levin both use different techniques to defend their stance against torture. However, both authors use deductive reasoning to defend their opinion on torture and both authors have similarities through out their essays and use some of the same examples to explain their argument. Both essays make a strong argument against torture but I feel Michael Levin’s essay “The Case for Torture” is stronger in comparison to Vincent Iacopino’s “It should not be Permissible to Torture Suspected Terrorists to Gather Information”. Michael Levin has a stronger persuasive argument and Vincent Iacopino’s essay is weak in reasoning.…

    Goldberg approaches the organization of his article in such a way that he is able to progress his opinion in a slow enough pace to address all major points, including who society blames as the problem and who is actually at fault, and immediately address the potential counterarguments. He begins with the arguments that would be used against the heavy use of computers such as the “introduction of computers in homes [leading] to children spending less time on homework and more time on recreational games,” causing a deflation in testing scores (Goldberg, 2010). Goldberg quickly counters that argument with multiple counterexamples including the idea that the increased computer use leads to “improved computing skills,” which will ultimately play a role in increasing the employability of the newer generations (Goldberg, 2010). This is effective in achieving Goldberg’s point because immediately addressing the counter allows the reader to clearly understand your view on one point at a time rather than every counterargument being thrown into one jumbled paragraph without an easy flow in the writing. The reader is able to clearly understand what message Goldberg was trying to convey and what he thinks should be done to monitor, or control the potential problems that could arise from the increase in the usage of computers through his choice in organizational styles which proves much more clarity to the article that could have otherwise been…

    For writing project two I used Malcolm X’s article A Homemade Education and Amy Tan’s article Mother Tongue for two completely different reasons. With regards to Tan’s article, I was able to easily relate to her experiences which then made it easier to read; personally when a reading is more relatable, I feel more engaged and it actually makes me want to keep reading. I choose Malcolm X’s article because it mentioned such a unique experience, and although it did not directly connect to my essay it did provide great examples and quotes that I was able to incorporate.…

    With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose. Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better.

    The two articles I chose from Week 2 were Article One: Charter Schools Are Superior to Public Schools and Article Four: Social Networking Sites Cannot Be Blamed for Bullying. For this week in article one I believe that the author used inductive reasoning. Inductive Reasoning can be defined as broad generalizations from specific observations. So in inductive reasoning even if the premises appear to be true inductive reasoning allows for the conclusion to be false. In this article the author states “It is often thought that charter schools are an "urban solution" that is most effective and successful in inner cities with high minority and poverty levels, but that…

    Hello everybody. I'm here. Actually, I'm not really good in writing. But it's doesn't matter. I will try my best. hehe. So..I'm going to talk about my new extreme life in Pahang Matriculation College. For the first step into in this college, it was quite nervous as none of my friends from my previous school came here. I was afraid that i couldn't get any friends. Thus, most of my friends told me before that getting in any matriculation college will make me feel stress as there will be a great competition among the students and it will only take 10 months to finish this matriculation programme. So, the time is fixed. These things has make me worry. For your information guys, at school, I was not an excellent student who always does her homework on time and studying at all time. Back then, I was a student who likes to play a lot. Sometimes, I would also break the school rules. haha. Studying at last minute was like just my hobby. In that case, I afraid that my old habits will affect my studies here. For the time being, I will try to not be the old me and do my best here as the saying goes let bygone be bygone. The first orientation week, I was so extremely busy!! I have to wake up at about 4.15 in the morning. Arghhh!!! Luckily, it was just for a week. So, as three weeks of classes passed, I experienced a lot of things. The lecturers are all sporting. Actually, I' m worrying about the science subjects which are Biology, Physics and Chemistry as i always get low marks in form 5 especially Physics. I planned to switch to Module 3 because this module doesn't has Physics subject. so, it will reduce my tension by not taking all those critical subjects. But I didn't do it. Yet, I think that I'm not doing all these things alone. I have my caring lecturers and the best part is, I have many new friends who always care about me. They will help me. I'm sure of it. We will help each other as we are like a big family!! Well, I think that's all I can share with you today. Tata…
