Already having sources mapped out by the annotated bibliography has really helped me organize my essay 3, so the writing process has been fairly smooth.

@AndrewL42280453 I agree, I thought that McCarthy did a good job of showing both sides. While he maintained a respectful tone and acknowledged the good that McCain had done, he also was able to point out flaws and actions that he disagreed with. #RHUB200

@Sierragaynor I found McCarthy’s article interesting because of this idea, since so often we see people’s legacies glorified it’s important to take a step back and recognize the complications. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

instead he talked about his own personal views of war and expressed his feelings on the term “war hero” in a way I found ignorant. (2/2)

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

In McCarthy’s piece claiming that McCain is a complicated figure, he makes the claim that McCain’s views on and support of war should not be overlooked and glorified. However I felt as though McCarthy did little to support and expand upon this claim, (½) #RHUB200

Writing the annotated bibliography has gone fairly well, I feel like having the sources mapped out will be so helpful when it comes time to write the essay. #RHUB200

@MadysonJWalker A source that complements your argument from a different perspective would be “The Influence of Source Physical Attractiveness on Advertising Effectiveness: A Functional Perspective 1” This source looks at physical attractiveness and it’s ability to persuade and promote products.

@xmivhelle A question to consider when looking at this argument is how does text anxiety influence students scores #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

Argument: technology in the classroom is beneficial because it encourages kids to develop problem solving skills and be creative. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

@sydneygniesen This is a really interesting topic, I like how you’re source is looking at the ethics of luxury brands since the topic is often looked at from an economic perspective. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

@MadysonJWalker The beauty industry is really interesting topic and something that’s increasingly relevant. I like how your source is examining the ethics of digital retouching. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

with their children and whether or not in correlates with well being. 2/2 #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

I will be looking at the article “Mothers’ Time, the Parenting Package, and Links to Healthy Child Development” in order to write an essay on child development and the effects of relationships. This article looks at the effects of mothers spending time on particular activities ½

After writing the first essay, it seemed much easier to get started on essay two. However the first essay felt more familiar in terms of topic. With that said, the writing has been going well. #RHUB200

@Josh14310279 I agree, LaPierre’s argument seems to be directed towards those who are already supporters of guns rights. This is emphasized by his use of polarization, as he criticizes the outgroup, particularly the media, for their negative views on the NRA. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

@landobowlcut I agree, following the Sandy Hook shooting the NRA’s press conference likely drew a large audience and a lot of attention. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

Similar to Negan, Wayne LaPierre uses demagoguery in his response to Sandy Hook. While LaPierre’s tactics differ from Negan’s, who uses violence and unveiled threats, he still appeals to the audiences fear in order to push his agenda. #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

@MadysonJWalker for those who support him as well as for emotional parents who were looking for a solution. 2/2 #RHUB200

[Melissa Hallam @MelissaHallam4]

@MadysonJWalker While I agree that LaPierre attempted to appeal to pathos, I thought he appeared very unsympathetic during the speech and ultimately failed. With that said, his speech and proposition could have been persuasive ½
