"It's certainly not great for Marc and his family. I know he's disappointed," former Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger told reporters following Marc Gasol’s season ending injury.…
The audience is important because without the audience you have no argument. You will not be able to prove your point with no audience. The audience may initially be a friendly audience, undecided audience, neutral audience, hostile audience, unfamiliar audience, or linked audience.…
Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…
If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…
Imagine seeing an average West Valley student that uses his phone and watches television in moderation and completes his homework. Now meet Quinton Schafer, a self proclaimedself-proclaimed screen abuser. Schafer confessed to using his computer for several hours a week on a school night. His screen time doubles on weekends to about twelve hours. Since he attends West Valley High School he must also juggle school work and his athletics. The result is that he is unable to do all of this and must sacrifice time to pursue his computer habits. Not only will they consume precious time, but they do much worse. Screens are obviously not beneficial for students so encouraging students to participate in “shutdown your screen week”.…
Despite the conflicting public opinion, Chris McCandless succeeded in his goal to survive in the wilderness and taught the world valuable lessons in the process. Chris McCandless “probably died on August 18th, 112 days after he had walked into the wild.” (119, Krakauer) He survived with very little gear and food, even though he was essentially cut off from the world. To have lived for a little over three months totally self-sufficient is impressive. Chris’s goal was to be independent and live off the land for a while. In his mindset, he achieved in his goal. Wayne Westerberg had employed Chris for two short amounts of time, but said “He was the type of person who insisted on living out his beliefs.” (Krakauer, 67) This was why Chris was determined to go to Alaska, instead of listening to the protests of others.…
Also, while in New Salem, Lincoln, met Ann Rutledge. “Ann was the young daughter of a tavern keeper where Abraham boarded occasionally (Gienapp, 2002. pp. 21). At the time that Abraham first met Ann she was engaged. Lincoln was always more sociable around women who were already involved with someone. “Ann was engaged to John McNeil when Abraham first took notice of her. Some time passed and McNeil admitted to Ann that his real last name was McNamar. After this confession John left for New York to take care of family business” (Gienapp, 2002. pp. 21). John left leaving the availability for Abraham to act upon his emotions. “Abraham and Ann became conditionally engaged in 1935. Unfortunately, Ann died suddenly in August 1835 before the couple…
Contemporary conviction slates General Nathanael Greene as a component within George Washington 's military array of tools. However, such a characterization drastically understates Greene 's true importance to the American Revolution. Greene 's uncanny list of accomplishments is both alarming and incredible: his steadfast leadership helped carry a budding nation 's hopes of liberty when it was most needed in northern and southern campaigns, a poignant relationship with George Washington serviced for the good of all democracy seekers, and Greene 's uncanny ability to make the most of what little resources he had made the difference in a war that was decided by a collection of small victories. Moreover, his omnipresent vitality and patriotic nature matches the likes of Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Washington and other founding fathers. However, historical lore doesn 't encompass Nathanael Greene within such company and preferential entitlement. Somehow he has been forgotten in the pages of history, and although his accomplishments are well documented, widespread knowledge of his significance and impact during the American Revolution is largely unknown. Nathanael Greene 's numerous accomplishments and unwavering commitment to the foundation of the United States are indispensable to the emergence of American democracy and its perseverance in the years following the Revolutionary War. Therefore, a definitive study of Greene is necessary and imperative to understanding America 's most innovative general of the Revolution .…
While encouraging women to fight for their political voice, Stanton argues a valid, logical point to the men, convincing them is a much more difficult task, and they are the ones who can legalize her beliefs. She acknowledges her counterclaim, and understands that the public believes, “People object to the demands of those whom they choose to call the strong-minded, because they say ‘the right of suffrage will make women masculine.’” (Stanton). Stanton does not allow males dull or dumb down the female gender. She understands that although her requests drastically shift society’s complete view of women, the female Americans must stand strong. Stanton reasons with her audience, and she brings up a fair point: “when we remember that man, who…
In the preface and introduction of the book: “They Say, I Say”, Graff and Birkenstein contend that well written argumentative writing should emphasize on hearing and responding rather than making claims. Based on the suggestions given by students, the revised 2nd edition of the book includes more chapters and features to give students a better understanding of academic writing.…
The author, Stuart Green, makes a few interesting points in the text, Argument as Conversation: The Role of Inquiry in Writing a Researched Argument. Stuart Green described arguments as conversations. They contain an issue and many viewpoints on the specified situation of the issue. He mentioned the conversations we have are never new; they’ve been discussed before and they will be discussed after you leave the conversation. Also, you, as a reader, need to find out about the ideas said about your specific conversation in the past in order for you to branch out your own idea about the conversation. Stuart Green discussed about framing. He defined framing as “a metaphor for describing the lens, or perspective, from which writers present their…
To test the thesis that argument can be found everywhere, read “The Argument Culture” starting on page (636) [634]. In an MS Word document, copy and paste an example of an argument and explain why it can be defined as such. Your example should focus on an issue about which there is significant and rational disagreement. Summarize the issue and spell out the reasons and evidence offered. This is most easily achieved by completing the statement “This arguer wants us to believe . . . because . . ..” (See #1 of “Practice,” page (680) [678].)…
I feel like the first sentence of Earl’s statement is true because those two-thirds of adolescent and adult usually start drinking at a young age. That would make it easier for them to get attached to alcohol . Having people take a written test just to get a drinking license could help but it wouldn’t help as much. I also think that stores would lose money because not everyone that drinks is going to have a drinking license. I disagree with Earl Rochester argument.…
