Writing essay 3 is definitely harder than the other essays. It’s more complex because there’s so many things to do and look at for the essay. There are so many things to consider while writing so it hasn’t been an easy process. But, it’s getting somewhere. #RHUB200

@yvonneisalias The chart is a good way to show the positive and the negative effects of social media as well as the severity of the effects. #RHUB200

@BiancaAugusto23 This is a great visual to use especially since the sample population is the schools with the largest revenues. If these schools do not provide many scholarships, it is easy to imagine how little the schools with smaller revenues would spend on scholarships #RHUB200

McCarthy claims that McCain is not a “war hero”. He states that US led wars were not heroic, and although McCain’s refusal to secure a release during the war was a “proper use of [his] privileges”, he still killed people before his imprisonment. #RHUB200

@yvonneisalias It’s also good to look at arguments made by the opposing side in order to strengthen your essay. Willer mentioned empathy and respect as a way to connect with the other side which can be applicable for your essay. #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@veronica_brvo I agree. He also mentioned how the divide is caused by the differences in values, beliefs and morals between the two sides. His statement about “moral reframing” may be applicable to your argument. #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

Willer’s statement about empathy and respect is a useful way to approach my argument and address the opposing side in order to convince the audience. Acknowledging the audience and their values will create a connection and an opportunity to counter their claims. #RHUB200

This essay is definitely the hardest one out of the three. Deciding what articles I wanted to use for my essay was kind of difficult because there are so many sources out there. There is also so many different ways to approach the essay prompt, making it more chalenging #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@marienashh A great argument! Further support for your argument can be the fact that not only kids but also adults are exposed to different germs and diseases when they are in a populated and close environment #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@BiancaAugusto23 This is a good argument. The fact that not all athletes are able to get scholarships to help pay for their college education, and they do not have time to get a side job because of their busy schedule further supports your argument. #RHUB200

Abortion has been legal in the US since 1973 through Roe v Wade. It states that women have the liberty to terminate a pregnancy without much government restriction. There should be no oppositions against abortion as it’s the woman’s choice & body going through changes #RHUB200

@shepard_keito This is a good topic since technology is very prevalent in today’s society and many people depend on their technologies to help guide them every day #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@marienashh This is a great and interesting topic. A nursing lens would definitely provide information about the benefits of vaccines especially if you include the reasons why people are oppose of them! #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@BenjaminHeffler I haven’t fully decided the lens I was going to use. But, I was considering a feminist lens, and I most likely will be leaning more towards it. #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

While debating on what topic I wanted to write about, I came across this article called “Abortion Rights” by Eileen Mcdonagh and Carol Nackenoff. From skimming the article, it discusses the history of abortion and the two different views of it #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

This essay was a little easier for me because there’s was not as much things to include in this essay compared to the first essay. Analyzing the speech was also easier and more straightforward #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@BiancaAugusto23 Definitely. Since parents were probably more vulnerable during the time of the shooting and the speech, they were most likely more open minded about the solution that LaPierre proposed because they wanted to protect their children. #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@CarsonTimar I totally agree. Both used different techniques to instill the same emotion within their audiences. They were both effective in achieving the desired reactions from their target audience #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

Given the tragic event, parents who support the NRA and have young children would embrace his argument about more gun control because they would agree that it would protect their kids and ensure their safety while at school. #RHUB200

[Alyssa Lee @__alyssalee]

@yvonneisalias He did take an aggressive approach to his speech, and often times it felt like he was yelling at his audience. It felt like he was scolding the audience for not having the same beliefs as he and the NRA have #RHUB200
