Narration, Description, Argument And Persuasion

It also showed us that value in education comes in different forms. For example, students like DeAndre valued education but didn’t think the education he was receiving was the best approach for him. It may appear the DeAndre was uninterested in learning but in reality he was interested in learning things that could help and resonated with his cultural history. I was enlightened by the way this article helped to highlight different types of students in a positive light. I resonate with this article because I went to a high school where students were labeled as noncompliant or “acting white”. I fell that more educators should read this article to get a well-rounded view of all their students especially those in the minority community. Furthermore, after reading this article I began to brainstorm alternatives to making school more appealing to all categories of students. According to the Boston Globe a new idea called community schools are entering discussions about better school models. The Boston Globe defines community schools as “both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. Its integrated focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement leads to improved student learning, stronger families, and healthier communities”. This idea sounds great to me because not only does it address the needs of the student

In the informative speech, I didn’t many things that were admired and distracting during the speech, and I hope to improve on those distracting interrupting acts on my next speech. During the speech, I did some items that were a little distracting through the speech. As I watched my speech I noticed I had some awkward pauses, bad transitions, some um’s, and a little stuttering throughout the speech. If you look at the speech I tend to stutter which is a little distracting. Talking about the festival Diwali I talk about Rangoli and its colored pattern I stutter and forget what I am explaining. Another thing I could improve on is my transitions when hearing the speech, the transitions are a little rough and not as smooth. During the transition when I switch from talking about the celebrations to the language I say, “with all these celebrations it tends to bring many religions and languages together” doesn’t really make sense and could be spoken a little smoother. Stuttering is also a part of the speech I did during the speech which distracting. Throughout the speech, I stutter during different parts and one of those parts being when I am talking about the different traditions when eating Indian food. I say, “some of the traditions when people eat in India are well we all we eat on our hands,” which is a little annoying. During the speech, I also said um’s during the speech. When citing my source on languages I said some ums, repeating the citation from the notecard. During the speech I had a little tough time with stuttering at moments, saying some um’s, bad transitions, and some pauses in the future I tend to improve it for the next speech.

In “To All the Girls I’ve Rejected,” Jennifer Delahunty Britz struggles with gender equality in admitting college students. Her daughter had been waitlisted. This didn’t make much sense; Maddie was a good student with a good, thorough application. The only problem? She was a female in a pool of too many girls and not enough boys.

It tells the story from the perspective of a young girl, who continuously gets scolded by her mother for going against social norms by writing. She continues to write despite the rebuke she receives from her mother because she hears the voices of the women who lived before her pleading her to continue writing. The girl explains that while most of her female family members experienced rape, they did not feel shame instead “They were singing, searching for meaning in the dust. And sometimes, they were talking to faces across the ages, faces like yours and mine.” (page 194). The reason these women did not feel shame was because they understood that while this act was horrible they needed to continue on with life in order to establish hope for the future generations that come after them. The reader gets to understand that life is cruel, but it is sometimes for the better. It also addresses this at the end of the epilogue when the girl’s mother has finished braiding her hair “..ask you to name each braid after those nine hundred and ninety-nine women who were boiling in your blood, and since you had written them down and memorized them, the name would come rolling off your tongue. And this was your testament to the way that these women lived and died and lived again.” (page 196) This shows the ultimate reward the people

In order to be taken seriously during you presentation, your argument must be strong and have the evidence to back up the claim.

Finally, showing consideration for the readers can persuade them effectively. Knowing the audience when writing can prevent any offense that audience might feel, which can narrow the distance of the author and the readers. This is explained further by the author of the “persuasive writing” that understanding the audience is vital because it is important not to offend them, as it will definitely turn them off to any persuasion. Furthermore, showing consideration for the audience by corresponding to their needs can convince them as well. The author from Colorado State University suggests that writers can persuade the audience by matching the writing style with the needs of the audience. For example, he states “an audience looking for logic will

That is such a perfect example of the people that my heart really feels for. Sometimes people have to go to a new place and you don't know anyone and you can just begin to feel isolated. I know that in my own life personally I have had three big transitions and the things that has helped me to feel connected and valued has been the people I surround myself with. I go to a really big church and live in a very populated area and one of the pastor at my church always says, when we come to church on sunday morning we see the body of Christ but when we are in community is when we see the hands and feet of Jesus.

As we begin the 21st century, the preservation and concern with our world environment becomes more of a highlighted issue. Authors such as Michael Pollan in his article “Escape from the Western Diet”, and Jonathan Safran Foer who wrote “Against Meat” both mention in their essays the negative impact fast food has created on our environment due to the method of factory farming. Foer quotes using reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN “Factory farming has made animal agriculture the No. 1 contributor to global warming…and one of the Top 2 or 3 causes of the most serious environmental problems, both global and local: air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity.” (457) Looking at these facts one can see that the issue on hand causes threat to our environment. Fast food has spawned a mass producing industry know as factory farming which although supplies the needs of our fast food industry at a rapid pace, causes pollution to our environment due to its poor disposal methods of waste.

The exposition invites readers into certain circumstances in which they intend to listen to the authority and drop their guard to what they hear. The Memoirs of a Geisha is a novel written entirely in the first

Through the story the narrative techniques change because of the differences of tone that are present in the story. The diction, syntax and narrative differ through the entirety of the story and makes the mothers feeling seem more in depth. The story is told from the point of view of the mother and her remembering her daughter and all the things she did to affects her life. All of her feeling are expressed through the specific use of her diction and syntax.

It starts with introducing the two subsections of genres that will be the overall focus of the text which are narratives and explanations. The author goes into a lot of detail with both topics, telling the reader exactly what the definition and giving a number of examples for each. The second part then mentions the simple three-step process of a narrative, which includes an orientation, complication and a resolution. The author gives a fairytale example of this, with “A Prince By Any Other Name” which includes all three of those. Then, “The Life Cycle of a Frog” is featured which the author classifies as an explanation. The final part of the text talks briefly about hortatory and analytical exposition, and explains how basically, these are used specifically to “persuade to” (hortatory) and to “persuade that”

26 states have sued against this action and are questioning Obama’s executive authority under the Take Care Clause

Jones states that verbal witness is necessary besides some action like helping and supporting other people, which seems like letting people know about why something like love or material. (256) It can be a positive side for people who receive or give so they are more clear about what they do. But sometimes some people focus too much on verbal witness when they share Christ’s love with food, clothing, shelter, or some necessities. They make some kind of rule before they share foods as recipients have to listen to short gospel before meal is given or they have to memorize one short verse before winter clothing is given. Even though there is still a positive side, it can be possible to lean against one side of conditional love for evangelism.

There are different forms of literature which can include essays, poems, novels, reports and more. The one thing all forms of literature have in common is that they all have meaning, purpose and form, but how it is expressed is all different, the question is how. Most of the times authors have a reason to convey such messages, and how the messages are delivered is up to the author as well. The author uses the form, it’s aesthetics to send the readers an image; what kind of literature it is. The authors also send the readers a blatant message, the message is sent through the text of the literature. Through the text on the literature the author portrays purpose, and with the form of the

From the table above, we can see that Participant A usually sent his argumentative writing completed with his curriculum vitae, ID card, and photo to the editor through the editor’s email address (in an argumentative writing context in newspaper). Participant B sent the softcopy file of his written product via editor’s email address completed with cover later that told about the main topic of the writing theme. Here, Participant B suggested that the notification should be delivered by using polite language, humble, and do not act like a teacher/dictate the editor. Although a writer has a belief that his/her written product will be published, but still he/she should show that the publishing authority is on the editor’s hand. So, it is important
