Argumentative-Personal Narrative
Deborah,
Your summary includes detailed information about all the topics covered in the readings and weblink, although it was only two sentences long. A summary is usually more than three sentences long, and the information you typed in two sentences may have been separated into four or five. Overall, good job summarizing the information.

    1 Summary: After listing the name of the book and author, summarize the book concisely in 500 “tight” words (no more than 2 pages). Prove that you comprehend the reading by writing a no-nonsense summary. The summary is not a commentary or listing of topics, but rather a heartfelt, condensed, insightful synopsis of the longer, more elaborate book. Cite the book in text at least once per paragraph, and include page numbers for direct quotations.…

    Heinrichs states," when you want to change someone's mood, tell a story."( Heinrichs 83). Storytelling is in an invaluable argument tool which uses pathos to convince an audience. The best way to appeal to another person's pathos is to create a story which makes the audience feel as if they have experienced it for themselves. This method of storytelling is much more convincing to someone else opposed to the typical second hand storytelling we know today. When trying to alter or influence someone else's pathos, name calling and other stereotypical methods pale in comparison because the human mind responds better to stories recounted from the first-person point of view rather than second hand . " the more the story the more it seems like a…

    My recent contempt case was fairly dramatic in that I wasn’t permitted visitation for well over a year, phone communication with my daughter was essentially blocked even to the point of having her phone disconnected by the mother, I was openly referred to as a ‘Monster and a Jerk’ by the mother and perhaps the most extreme example a friend of hers on Facebook stated he should ‘try out his new concealed weapons permit when I came for visitation’. My ex-wife even ‘liked’ this comment, yet after bringing this and other facts up in Court, the Judge, ironically found me, the father, in contempt of Court and assessed a $3500 fine. The Judge's message and that of the mother's lawyer was clear, that I should understand that as a father, all of my rights…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Yet another Thanksgiving, and I was stuck in my uncle’s basement watching the Redskins face off the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, and various other famous athletes all grinned at me from their respective Wheaties boxes, seemingly mocking my pain. My uncle collected them and, for some reason, had decided the bright orange boxes would be a great decorative addition to the basement wall behind the television. I remember once, when I was younger, I was searching for a movie to watch and I accidentally brushed against a limited edition Michael Jordan box. The box began to teeter, and I immediately knew that I was doomed. All the boxes began to fall like dominos to the floor. My uncle, needless to say, was furious. Thus, it was seemingly fitting that the offended boxes, now realigned on the wall, would have the privilege to witness my torture by football.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…

    I grew up in a household consumed by sports. At a young age my father drilled things like ESPN, football, and elbow pads into me and my brother’s heads. Both of my brothers were naturally gifted in athletics. I on the other hand, was not. I couldn’t catch a football, run a lap, or shoot a basket to save my life. When seventh grade rolled around I made a deal with my dad that if I got a part in the spring production I could quit sports altogether. That year the play was “Cinderella” and I was nervous because I had never auditioned for anything ever in my life, but there was no way in hell I was going back to neck injuries and smelly jockstraps. I took a deep breath, walked onto the stage and gave it my best shot. The next day I found out that…

    It was my first year of high school and I thought about playing sports but never told anyone. All my friends were already into sports and I didn’t even understand it. First, I thought I would be too shy to play anything, I don’t like a crowd of people. Then I thought my weight and height would be a big issue, I didn’t even think I could get pass try outs. Everywhere I would go I would always be the shortest person. Eventually my thoughts changed.…
