This is an essay written by a student that uses many great techniques to help develop the story line. The techniques help the reader gain more information on what the writer went through due to her constantly waking up with “soggy pajamas.”

Right of the bat in the opening paragraph, the author used an abundance of writing techniques. They had a great hook saying they “hated going to sleep” so I was not sure where the story was going to go. If it was about nightmares when sleeping, just not wanting to sleep, or wetting the bed. At the end of the conclusion, the issue is revealed through the use of factual information saying that they were “one of the five to seven million children who wet the bed.” The author goes on using great detail describing …show more content…

The techniques help the reader gain more information on how dangerous a credit card was for the author which led her to live in debt. One instance changed her view on life for the better.

The author has a poem even before their essay that warns the reader to be cautious with a credit card and that she will give insight on how to avoid it or overcome it. She described her lifestyle with the credit card as ‘living for today,’ which exactly what I credit card can make you do because it is money there for the spending. The author uses many words in quotes (WC) to emphasize them and describes them and generally, they are what an individual would think of when they think of the word. For example, she used the word ‘approved’ to describe that it makes young people feel like they have made it into adulthood when approved for a credit card or loan. She refers to shopping as being her “drug of choice.” This use of figurative language compares shopping to a drug which is accurate because drugs can be destructive and have a negative affect just like over shopping which can lead to major debt. I love the statistic that she used saying that using a credit card “doesn’t feel like spending, so people spend more, ‘usually 30% more.’” I believe this is true because I have seen it done first hand by my dad. Within one instance you can get a wakeup call that will

The expansion of credit in the United States played a pivotal role in the history of American citizenship. Race was a major factor that contributed to the history of the expansion of credit and, also, to the present-day concerns of debt today. At the end of the postwar era, racial minorities were constantly denied credit, which did not allow these groups to continue to pursue the continuation of the American Dream. According to Louis Hyman’s Debtor Nation, “to be denied credit went beyond an economic inconvenience; credit access cut to the core of what it meant to be an affluent, responsible adult,” and this type of discrimination is what racial minorities, and women, were faced with in post-war America (Hyman, 173). To understand the discriminatory practices used alongside credit, it is first important to understand the access to credit in the ghettos.

Co-sleeping is a hotly debated topic between mothers and scholars alike. Should children and infants sleep with their parents or should they sleep in their own space? Many people believe that co-sleeping is vastly superior and has numerous benefits, short-term and long-term, while others believe that co-sleeping is dangerous.

For instance, Christian scriptures declared to believers that the Earth was at the center of the universe and were shamed if they believed otherwise. However, the period of enlightenment induced people to question these principles and led to intellect over faith. It is relevant to note that “Philosophy aligned itself with the pure and natural sciences, and metaphysics was subsumed into scientific hypothesis and theorization” (R&H,26). Science proved to Christians that the Earth was in fact not at the center of the universe, so believers questioned
