Elena Argument

World War II, a time often seen with its negative connotations of death, dictatorship, and human suffering, also generated new concepts that continue to impact American policies and societal attitudes to this day. The bombing of Pearl Harbor served as a catalyst for US participation in the war. Banding together in unity, Americans rushed off to fight in Europe, leaving their families behind to take care of the home front. With soldiers going off to war, American industries were left with a labor deficit; until the government’s sights settled on the female population. Turning to the mothers and wives left behind, propaganda to recruit them arose in the form of a one red haired worker. During the trenchant years of World War II, the patriotic image of Rosie the Riveter nurtured a fleeting taste of freedom that motivated American women to incessantly struggle for gender equality. On the American home front, Rosie became the poster child for female contributions to the war effort, and women fought fervently to become vital members of the work force, yet they were forced back into the domestic molds imposed by society.

Finding an introductory paragraph that hooks the reader can be troublesome, but throughout the course, I have spent considerable time developing that technique. The body of my arguments each exhibit strong support for the thesis. In addition, my conclusions summarize the papers without restating unnecessary information. Overall, my comprehension of the basic format of an argument has proved to be a valuable asset.

According to Mirasol Eating Disorder Recovery Center, 20% of people with anorexia nervosa die if they do not get treatment or professional help. This eating disorder is 12 times higher than any cause of death for females 15-24 years old. Furthermore, 10-15% of males have anorexia, so it is not only women who have it. How would you feel? Wanting to know a certain number and maintaining that number so you can feel great about yourself, but slowly hurting or maybe killing yourself by doing it? Elena Dunkle goes through this everyday; knowing that a certain number on a scale will make her feel beautiful. In Elena Dunkle’s memoir, Elena Vanishing, Elena, who has anorexia nervosa, shows the reader the struggles, the fighting and the demons that

This semester I wrote two major papers in English class, the first was a text analysis about the novella Anthem, and the second an argument paper about a subject that each student was free to choose. The textual analysis essay asked me to explain exactly what Ayn Rand, the author of Anthem believed and communicated with her novel and how these beliefs were shaped by her childhood. Each paper also included a summary of the text and cited some arguments from individuals who were against Rand’s beliefs. The argument paper required that I pick something they felt passionate about and argue for or against it, with detailed reasons, strong support from experts, and a place to recognize and refute people who felt differently. These essays were used

Car demonstrated well-written statements and agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously. Many examples helped Car and his credibility on his essay making it really engaging and wanting to read

A woman was admitted to the Toronto refuge and analyzed as agony from insanity, a not extraordinary determination for women, and a stage past mania. The reason referred to by specialists for the persistent madness was lactation. This was one of the scores of cases referred to by Wendy Mitchinson in her history of the medicinal treatment of women in Victorian Canada. The cases, consolidated with the restorative writing of the period, mirror the general public's distractions, both among the all-inclusive community and the therapeutic calling. Most importantly, they show in sharp detail the general public's view of women. For most therapeutic specialists, the male body was taken to be the standard; women were other. Specialists were

Katherine Cross is a strong believer that the game Pokémon Go, that was the most popular game to hit the web recently needs some sort of boundaries that the users must obey by. She definitely gains credibility by bringing in some quotes from different authors. She supports her argument that less developed areas do not have the same luxuries for this game as the more fortunate areas by citing other authors like Christopher Huffaker who said in his article that “black neighborhoods and rural areas have fewer Pokémon Go locations” (Huffaker). Bringing inequality as an issue in her article that is going to cause an argument for society. She is going to gain a lot of support on her argument because people in those areas can argue that even though they aren’t as wealthy as other places in society, they should still get the same benefits to this game as everyone else. Katherine does a good job at arguing both sides of the

 It does an excellent job at providing the facts to reinforce her point and can easily convince readers to believe why her side is correct.  The only major complaint I have is that the paper is too one sided.  It would be interesting to see and opposing side or just a counter to many of her arguments.  I realize that is not the point of her essay and she is trying to push us to her side, but I believe that the paper would be more interesting to readers if we had an opposing view on the subject.  Other than that minor point her essay is well written and is great at expressing her side of the

According to dosomething.org around 1,836 people died from Hurricane Katrina. From the research I did I think we should evacuate Gavelston because my research says that Rita will be a Category 5 hurricane and so was Katrina and she killed that many people. Other hurricanes have also created much damage in the past and we don’t want people getting stuck and hurt from this. Although people think that isn’t that bad and we can stay in our homes I think we should evacuate.

I will first go on to state each opponent’s strongest argument and then I will go on to discuss who I feel won the debate putting aside my personal beliefs on the topic. First I think Kayla’s strongest argument was that physician-assisted suicide gives patients the opportunity to ease their mind. She provided solid evidence by disclosing the touching stories of both her father and the 26 year old patient she works with during summer in her local community. Both of the men testified that if they had the choice between death and life hey choose death to ease the pain. This went against Adam’s argument that the current system in place already provides patients with pain management. This is an example of an emotional appeals augment, which engages

Claim number two is “most student labeled as having A.D.H.D are males and many are black males. But boys tend to be more active than girls, and African Americans are known for being movement oriented, tactile and kinesthetic” (Ford). This claim supports Donna Ford main argument by providing behavioral norms to one gender and ethnicity. when considering to diagnose the child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, consideration of the norms of a gender and ethnicity of that student should factor into the decision.

Bethany Hamilton is an elite surfer from Kauai Hawaii. Even when she was young she won a major amateur surf contest when she was ten. However when she was 13 years old a tiger shark attack her removing her left arm. However she refuses to give up even if she has to start all over making her resilient. Is she resilient?

Although the most subjective and probably the hardest of our assignments, the argument proposal was easier for me to write about since I was generally curious about the topic. Writing an argumentative essay can help students improve their writing, develop their critical-thinking skills, and also learn how to perform research. One of my weaknesses with my argument proposal was relying too much on evidence and synthesizing ideas instead of generating my own or making a definite stance, instead of trying new ways to be creative and capture the attention of the

The first topic was under the section called “Why College is Important to our Society.” This section includes an illustration from the U.S Department of Labor, giving the reader a sense of what kind of money an individual with a degree will make opposed to an individual with a high school diploma. It wasn’t the amount of money each degree is projected to make that caught my eye, but the fact that we as a society have gotten accustomed to associating some kind of monetary value to education.

In the novel Antonia was put to the test a lot but she still held her same values through the book. Antonia was very strong willed, when she was faced with deaths she would be sad but she would always end up finding her way back to happiness.
