I think my strongest essay is Rhetorical analysis essay about Tobias Wolff’s “Bullet in the brain.” I spent so much time on the assignment and introduction is good. I think the introduction is one of important part of the essay. Because the introduction grab reader’s attention and make them to read more. I had to follow the instruction given by the professor. I stated my specific topic and I wrote about one topic in my whole assignment. I read the book over and over again, and I analyzed the book from a certain point of view like a book critic. My work was well organized into paragraphs. Each paragraph focused of a single part. Also, I used transitions to help my assignment flow more smoothly.…
"Facebook encourages narcissistic blabbering, video and Powerpoint have replaced carefully crafted essays" Clive Thompson, author of this excerpt, shows how social media as well as technology is disintegrating our level of knowledge. He states that the Z generation is the age of technology and children are not as aware of their surroundings as other generations. They do not read, their IQ scores have dropped, and the way they carry themselves shows that this is the dumbest generation.…
This political cartoon created by Signe Wilkinson was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019. This cartoon depicts a female and male soccer team opposite each other, with the female team being treated indifferently, by the Soccer Federation in the centre, despite its substantial success. Through this political cartoon, Wilkinson aims to inform U.S rugby enthusiasts about the Soccer Federation’s indifference in U.S women’s soccer compared to U.S men’s soccer despite the U.S women’s soccer success. Wilkinson achieves this through: emphasising the size of the women’s soccer ball, employing statistics within both the U.S men and women’s soccer ball to demonstrate logos, and highlighting the text on the soccer shoes to encourage change to the treatment of U.S women’s soccer.…

n the article, “Startling Finds on Teenage Brains” the author was very bias, and only talked about what he believed to be true and right, that teenagers have massive losses of brain tissue in areas of self control which almost is the cause to teenagers impulsive actions and committing crimes. I disagree with the author on this statement for reasoning why teenagers act the way they do, he uses this as an excuse. Teenagers must have always loss brain tissue, and just because they lose some self control, that does not make it okay to go out and kill someone or commit and henious crime. Even with loss of brain tissue teenagers and kids know the difference from right and wrong. All teenagers should know the seriousness of what they have committed,…
This essay explains what can be learnt about the relationship between brain and behaviour using the case of Phineas Gage and imaging techniques. It starts by briefly describing neurons. It then goes on to look at what can be learnt by studying accidental brain damages and the effect they can have on behaviour using Phineas Gage’s case. This essay acknowledges that there are limitations on what can be learnt from accidental brain lesions and looks at how non-accidental damages and brain imaging techniques used by biological psychologists contribute and supplement the understanding of the relationship between brain function and behaviour.…

The Clive Thompson article is aimed at showing the development of new literacy where students are learning how to write for a specific audience and making a good essay. The new literacy, according to Thompson, has been facilitated by the internet-enabled social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as they have increased the number of writings modern-day students make. Also, these kinds of writings have enabled the students to understand how writings should be made: with a specific audience in mind. To pass the message of the development of a new literacy, Thompson uses the three types of rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos and pathos to persuade his audience into supporting his assertions.…
In the Women’s Brain, Gould tells of the misinformed data of a woman's brain through the use of rhetoric analysis such as detail, bias, logos, ethos, etc. He uses this information to gravitate toward scientist, to show how they mislead the information and need to improve on data. The author uses a judgmental tone when stating bias when he say, “In the most intelligent races, as among the Parisian,” when he is of such race.…
“What’s the Matter with Kids Today,” composed by Amy Goldwasser, is a strong argument against the assumption that Internet and other new found technology is worthless. Goldwasser begins her argument by giving you examples of the opposing view. For instance, within her first three paragraphs she gives many negative views against Internet use, one being a survey conducted by a research organization called Common Core. “A phone (land line!) survey of 1,200 17-year-olds… researched Feb. 26, found our young people are living in “stunning ignorance of history and literature.” (Goldwasser 666) This survey led to the acceptance speech of Doris Lessing, a British novelist and playwright, for winning a Nobel Prize in literature, where she referred too many as “a fragmenting culture,” and states that, “young men and women… have read nothing, knowing only some specialty or other, for instance, computers.” (Goldwasser 666)…

”According to Steinberg irresponsible behavior of adolescents’ is not entirely their fault. Steinberg states that all parts of the brain are still maturing at the age of seventeen. Due to the lack of the sense of responsibility adolescents are capable of making mistakes. Also, due to the lack of mental resistance a child’s brain can easily be persuaded and manipulated. If a child is not able to differentiate right and wrong how are they supposed to know when they should or should not do something. The lack of brain development helps explain why teenagers who are so smart in some respects sometimes do surprisingly foolish things. Therefore, due to the lack of brain development, a child should not be tried as an adult.…

The first eight years of a child’s life are not only the most important years of a child’s life, but also the most rapid period of human development throughout a human life. These years are critical to the emotional and physical growth of a child. By the age of four, half of a person’s intelligence potential has already been developed and early childhood experiences can have a lasting effect on personality, behavior, and learning. (Early, 2001) These first eight years of life are broken down into the first two years, early childhood, and middle childhood. Throughout these three stages of life, the brain does most of its developing and determines the life that person will lead. The developing of a child’s brain falls upon the interactions and experiences a child has with its parents and any other primary caregivers in the beginning of life.…
In the article, “Many Kids Called Unfit for Trial” Greg Krikorian stated, “those under 15 often blind to the long term results of their choices.” A study directed by a University of Massachusetts professor found that one-third of the eleven- to thirteen-year-olds studied and 20 percent of those fourteen or fifteen years old had levels of reasoning and awareness comparable to those of mentally ill adults judged not competent to stand trial. Krikorian also stated that, “ younger individuals were less likely to…
