Essay 3 has been rather time consuming due to us needing to add a counter argument that may complicate our argument which is something I’ve never really done before. #RHUB200
The annotated bibliography was a challenge because of the task of finding sources that are credible. Also annotating the citations took a good amount of time. #RHUB200
@BenjaminHeffler I agree with your argument and in order to strengthen it you could use Anna Goshua’s article “What we can learn from video game violence” which we discussed in class a while back. #RHUB200
@GinaLatimer2 What if the person getting the abortion isn’t financially or mentally stable to have a child? There are a lot factors that go into denying this right to people. #RHUB200
Argument: Marijuana has been regarded as a harmful plant that can endanger lives and is thought to be nothing more than a another drug to be dealt with in today. However, based on its economic value and medical benefits, cannabis has proven to be a benefit to society. #RHUB200
For my research paper, I will be discussing the legalization of marijuana. The article “Marijuana legalization: A continuing conundrum” by Edward Kremzelok analyzes the growing trend of marijuana use. #RHUB200
For me the writing process for essay 2 was easier because I was able to build off my mistakes from essay 1. I know now what to be looking for when analyzing a document. #RHUB200
@BiancaAugusto23 Agreed. At the same , acts of violence such as Sandy Hook were rather new and most likely caused a lot of people to become supporters of the NRA. #RHUB200
Parents who support the NRA most likely agree with LaPierre’s argument since the Sandy Hook tragedy would prompt them to take action to protect their children and staff members. #RHUB200
Today’s class really opened my eyes because I was not taught Lens analysis in high school. But the exercise involving Negan’s monologue in comparison with Machiavelli really helped. #RHUB200
The writing process was one that consisted of many ups and downs for me. Because I haven’t written an essay in a while, I had some rust in my writing. However, I believe it will get better through my classmates peer review and by writing more as the year goes on. #RHUB200
