Proposal’ is a brilliant example of the use of non-argumentative devices of rhetorical persuasion. The whole essay‚ of course‚ rests broadly upon the argument of cause and effect: these causes have produced this situation in Ireland‚ and this proposal will result in these effects in Ireland.

Growing up as a Latina and a girl I was constantly reminded of the differences between me and other people around me. Firstly‚ belonging to a minority group that is always seen as exotic or foreign‚ becomes tiring and overwhelming because you constantly feel like you don’t belong to the society you live in. It is tiring because I often hear people talking about how they went to a Mexican restaurant and had amazing food or how they love tacos but the tacos they associate as tacos have hard shells

Growing up‚ most of the children I knew would go to church on Sunday’s‚ visit their grandparents’ house to bake cookies after school‚ and have milk and cereal for breakfast every morning. But I had never set foot inside of a religious building‚ couldn’t even speak the same language as my grandmothers‚ and ate congee with fermented soy beans like it was the most natural thing in the world. My little town where I’d grown up‚ made friends‚ and built memories was‚ to say the least‚ completely un-diverse

Growing up in rural Kansas was boring. Especially since I grew up in the seventies. There were no cell phones or game systems to occupy my time. My family had an old black and white television set.

After the show was over‚ the only way to kill time was to play outside and wander down to the creek that ran parallel to our property. There was a secret trail buried in the wall of trees that lined our two acre yard

Growing up in Ghana in the mid-nineties was a very challenging moment of my life. The West African country was recovering from an economic recession mainly attributed to series coup d’états that destabilized the economy and crippled most state institutions. These coup d’états‚ to an extent‚ left the country that once championed the emancipation of Africa in a deplorable state; a state of despair‚ hopelessness and economic hardship. The then government –National Democratic Congress – implemented

Growing up I was never raised with any particular religion. I had not even stepped foot in a Church or any building of worship except for a funeral in a Catholic Church when I was nine or ten. I do not remember much except that I found it to be extremely boring and wanted to be in school instead.

I immediately became addicted to the stories and would imagine
