Argument Analysis: All My Life For Sale

525 Words3 Pages

On “All My Life For Sale” I found a green wool sweater being sold that had a description that definitely was both subjective and objective. The only that I’d say it was objective was when he specifically said that the sweater was in fact wool. Other than that, the whole description was pretty much a story about what led to him acquiring this sweater and it was specifically subjective when he said that it was warm and big because that can left up to an individual to decide. Seeing a similar sweater for sale on eBay had a sort of opposite description where most of it was objective. The description was about a hand knit Irish wool sweater and it described the item’s dimensions, the color, and how it is a unisex sweater which is all objective information. …show more content…

Instead they left the picture there as a reference for a potential customer to sole see what the sweater looked like. This kind of leads into the type of audience that each is trying to attract. The description for the sweater on “All My Life For Sale” had certain key things such as how he was able to trade in a vest to get the sweater, a jacket, and a few other things leading me to believe that these items were acquired form a more expensive shop and that they may be in a cold climate. Another key thing that stuck out to me was that he said he looked preppy in the sweater which supported my idea that the audience is probably geared towards a person that may may be in a cold climate that wants to look a little more upper class. The description of the sweater on eBay spoke about how it was hand-knit from a local woman in Ireland. This seems to make the sweater geared more towards an audience that cares more about quality items that may not be necessarily well known, someone that may be known as a “hipster”. The sweater from “All My Life For Sale” had a story behind how the man acquired the sweater that I couldn’t really relate to which may not even be something that people care about. Not only the story but as I stated before, I feel that the sweater was more for a higher class citizen

Cameron Awbrey's Argument Essay

703 Words | 3 Pages

Good Afternoon your honor, I am filing a motion for the admissibility of Cameron Awbrey’s statement because there is clear signs of attenuation between the statement given and the arrest. I will prove my case by providing examples of precedent cases similar to the laws involved in Cameron's case. In the precedent case Utah v. Strieff, the accused was survallinced over a short period of time, was subjected to an unlawful stop and arrest but later received a lawful arrest. The question was whether or not the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine applied, which excludes evidence that is gained from an unlawful search or seizure.

Mac Donald's Argument Analysis: Hard Data, Hollow Protests

450 Words | 2 Pages

Hard Data, Hollow Protests I highly disagree with majority of Mac Donald’s argument. Firstly, her inclination that officers “have more to fear from black men than black men have to fear” from the officers does not sit well with me. Although blacks may make up the highest percentage of cop-killers, blacks are more likely to be shot than whites. I suggest that since both facts are true to an extent, social culture and biases have become the driving force for both instances to play out as they are: Black men are more likely to kill cops, cops are more likely to kill black men.

With the year-round pressure pertaining to college applications on high school seniors follows the impending decision of choosing an appropriate college major. Generally, the decision-making process involves prioritizing one field of interest over another, however, due to globalization and constant innovation in technology determining a college major has increasingly become the modern day equivalent of the metaphorical line between life and death. Even so, the obvious choice would be the prestigious STEM fields over liberal arts due to the instant job opportunities which are seemingly ludicrous to a recent graduate. Nevertheless, liberal arts education should be encouraged to be pursued at higher education institutions in USA because it helps

The short audio clip covers eveything from the tragic event to Kevin travelling around Windsor and it’s various highschool giving out presentations about drink driving and its consequences.
