Furthermore Paul also uses imagery in his argument to evoke a feeling of both sadness and a feeling of missing out.
After much debate, America finally offered $15 million for the land and France gladly accepted. April 30, 1803 the treaty was written making Louisiana officially American land. Some people however, were upset with the buy. They had believed that the new land would take all the attention and the older eastern land would get forgotten.

An essay’s purpose is to persuade and/or inform readers of a topic that a writer is passionate about. In an essay such as Pass, Fail by Ron Srigley the purpose is to persuade readers with a convincing argument and is an excellent example of an effective argument. Srigley is a university professor at UPEI who writes with passion and a slightly sarcastic tone throughout his article to prove his thesis. The purpose of his inductive essay is to persuade his audience (which are parents of future/current students in postsecondary institutions as well as students themselves) that the education system has gone down hill over the years and is therefore a waste of an educational experience. His thesis of the essay comes in the last paragraph: Not just
The South was firmly against the admission of California as a free state. Its main fear was the upset of power balance, as Calhoun contended, “the Senate, the last bastion of balance, would be stacked against the South by the end of the decade.” In addition, Meade argued that “[the slaveholding South] needed room to expand,” and that “California was ideal for slavery.” Despite their best efforts, the southerners’ arguments didn’t do much because of the fundamental gap between the North and the South on the issue of slavery; it was nearly impossible for one side to convince the other. In the end, Stephen Douglas put through the admission of California by “getting some men to miss a crucial vote and others to vote with the other side.”
I enjoyed the topic of the Annotation 1 worksheet, because I personally disagreed with the stance of the author. The Article argues that disallowing welfare users to spend their food stamp money on sugary drinks would allow users to lead healthier lives, but I do not think that the situation is that black and white. According to the article, “They would still receive every penny of support they now get, meaning they would have as much, if not more, to spend on nutritious food” (Farley). I believe that health can be a social construct, and what might be healthy to one person might not be healthy to another, and banning sugary drinks, does not mean that welfare users will go further in the act and make healthier decisions about everything purchased.
Starting in Philadelphia on May 25th ,1787, fifty-five state delegates attended the Constitutional Convention. Their goal? To create a new government that would not succumb to the same faults of the Articles of Confederation. With the events leading into the American Revolution and the shortcomings of the Articles of Confederation fresh on their minds, many of the delegates traveled to the Convention with their own conflicting agendas of what the American government should become. Today, many people agree that the Constitution should be interpreted with the intentions of the original framers in mind.
People have different views on what success really means. Some say success is based on money or fame. If you have a lot of money or fame you're "definitely" successful. Others say success is based on your fulfillment and overall happiness in your life. Alfred Brooks, the protagonist in the novel
In conclusion, without failure and staying enthusiastic when we fail, there would be no success. Therefore, I agree with Winston Churchill that failure is a key part of success. If you keep your enthusiasm high even when you fail multiple times you will eventually have success.
Doug, I am very interested in applying to be an Astin Scholar, and I wanted to get your thoughts on an idea I had for the application 's research proposal. As you probably already know, getting the homeless housed is one of the top goals of activists and non-profits today. Their argument is that a housing-first approach gives a homeless individual the dignity and motivation they need to begin the hard work of turning their life around and integrating back into society. I thought I could do an analysis of the mental health of homeless individuals who aren 't housed, versus the mental health of those who are. I am unsure of what sort of a methodology I would use to collect my data, but I feel my concept would make for profound research.
BJ Miller’s first view point is that we all need a reason to wake up, however, I do not completely agree with this idea. God is the reason why we wake up or do not wake up, but we do have things to do when we wake up, so this point is somewhat valid. BJ raises a good point about all of us being patients for all humans have aliments that bothers them in life whether medical or psychological. I do believe the speakers concept that the American health care system is flawed for I have witnessed this myself while being a patient. Consequently, many American do not have access to the health care they need for they are uninsured or do not have enough money for the co-payments.
