Appeal to fear:
I feel like this is related to those commercials that enforce people to stop smoking. They would bring a person that has been harmed through smoking and kind of scare you, so that you stop smoking or never smoke.

writer or speaker may begin with an anecdote showing the effect of a law on an individual
In order to get the people engaged they would make a person with a good story speak, and from there once the people are hooked, they begin to speak about what the real argument is.
-
You are looking for the elements of the essay or speech that might cause the audience to feel (or not feel) an emotional connection to the content.
I feel like this is the most used persuasion method and also the most effective for a lot of people, because they are just messing with the emotions of the people, they make them feel scared, sad, or even joy.
-
People may be uninterested in an issue unless they can find a personal connection to it,
Many people are much more concerned with their emotions rather than logic. Therefore, when people do advertising they seem to appeal more to pathos, which are the emotion of the people.
-
Are the premises true?
You have to ask yourself to see if the argument are true and check whether he is lying just to make a point or if he has some credibility and saying correct statements.
-
logos, you consider how logical the argument is and how well-supported it is in terms of evidence.
In logos, you look how well they supported their argument and if they make sense.
-
Beyond lying about their own credentials, authors may employ a number of tricks or fallacies to lure you to their point of view
In order to get you to believe something some authors may exaggerate their information, so that it makes their story much more interesting, but this ruins their credibility. They just want you to be with their side of the argument.
-
author is (or is not) trustworthy and credible
Ethos refers to having elements that could be trusted, for example s is much better to quote a doctor rather than a person who just blogs. Who would you rather trust a doctor or a blogger?

Some writers quote too little— perhaps because they don’t want to bother going back to the original text and looking up the author’s exact words, or because they think they can reconstruct the author’s ideas from memory.
I feel like its not that they cant bother going back into the text to revisit the quote, but I feel like it is just hard to go over the text and find the perfect quote, that is what I find difficult.
-
In some cases, “he says” may even drain the passion out of the ideas you’re summarizing.
I agree with this because once you use words like these it could devalue your writing because instead of writing in your own words you are using the word of another writer.
-
Many writers shy away from summarizing—perhaps because they don’t want to take the trouble to go back to the text in question and wrestle with what it says, or because they fear that devoting too much time to other people’s ideas will take away from their own.
I feel like I could relate to this because sometimes I don't really want to summarize a piece of literature because I feel like I'm going to use to much of their work and not enough of mine.
-
to argue persuasively you need to be in dialogue with others, then summarizing others’ arguments is central to your arsenal of basic moves.
In order to make your argument effective you should include dialogue and also summarize the argument that the other people are making. This will make your writing much more believable and stronger.
-
On the one hand, argues . On the other hand, contends . Others even maintain . My own view is .
By using templates such as these you could effectively change from what they say to what you say. These are helpful because they can also help the reader know what position you are in and let them know what you are going to be arguing about.
-
so the argument runs—must inevitably share in the general collapse. . . . [But] the process is reversible.
In this part the author changes from explaining what other people are saying to talking about what he believes and his argument.
-
remember that you are entering a conversation and therefore need to start with “what others are saying,” as the title of this chapter recommends, and then introduce your own ideas as a response.
When doing an argument it is good to state what you are going to argue about and what is your position on it. After that you can express your thoughts and ideas.
-
Perhaps the point was clear to other sociologists in the audience who were more familiar with the debates over Dr. X’s work than we were.
You should make your thesis more understandable so that all the people that you are talking to can understand what your position is and what you are going to talk about.
-
that Dr. X’s work was very important—was clear enough, but why did the speaker need to make it in the first place? Did anyone dispute it? Were there commentators in the field who had argued against X’s work or challenged its value? Was the speaker’s interpretation of what X had done somehow novel or revolutionary?
I feel like when it comes to active listening or paying attention these should be the type of questions that you should be asking yourself through the presentation that you are experiencing. Also you should not settle by just memorizing material you should challenge it and ask more about it.

You can look in the library’s subject guides or ask the librarian about databases for health professionals.
You should go and ask your librarian about specific resources that could meet your needs and they will always guide in the tight way so that you get the information that you need.
-
I shouldn’t use Wikipedia
One of they main reasons why wikipedia is not one of the best sources to use is because some of the information could be wrong because anybody could change it whenever they would like
-
you can combine this strategy with the other ways of limiting your search. Try “bottled water quality” (in quotation marks) health teeth.
In order to get the best results it is best to be as specific as possible when searching for something, but not too much or else you could miss out on the best sources.
-
can I just use Google or Bing to find sources?
Even the internet is an efficient way to find sources you should try and find sources that are much better because the internet is full of information in which some of it may not be true. Therefore you need to be careful when using the internet in order to find your sources.
-
But how do I decide which sources to use for my paper?
In order to decide what sources you would like to use in your paper you should first decide what the meaning of your paper is going to be and go from there. Your resources should support the meaning of your paper.
-
Sources of meaning are literally everywhere
Sources could be almost everything you could think of, but you just have to know which ones are the good ones and which ones are the bad ones.
-
“forms of meaning you use to make new meaning.”
Pretty much this is saying that your articles show have some meaning behind them in order for you to create your meaning in your research paper.
-
So what information do you need to make a good recommendation?
When doing a research paper these are the kind of questions you should ask yourself in order for your research to have a purpose.
-
The major paper for my health and environment class is due in five weeks, and I need some advice. The professor says the paper has to be 6–8 pages, and I have to cite and document my sources.
this is really good of him because he is seeking for assistance at least 5 weeks before the paper is due this gives him sufficient time to do his research and his paper on time and with the advice of a professor which makes him try and make a better grade and get his research done the right way.

tell us that the brain changes in response to the environment.
I feel like this could be very true because due to the environment you grow in you brain could develop in a way that is used to that particular environment in which you grow in.
-
Gage’s social recovery, and countless subsequent studies of the brain, tell us that the brain changes in response to the environment.
Due to the studies that they made on Gage it really helped make progress on they knowledge of the brain and how it is not just for life and movement, but also for thought and Intelligence.
-
Twentysomethings aren’t brain damaged, of course, but because of the still-developing frontal lobe, they can be what psychologists call “uneven.”
Sometimes they believe that twenty somethings could be brain damaged by the way they act or the way they do some of the things, but our brains are still developing.
-
In the mid-1800s, it was inconceivable that someone could suffer a brain injury and live to tell about it, and that this same person could do some things but not others.
During that time people though that if you had brain damage you would never be the same ever again and that you will most likely never be able to do some of the things you could do before. I believe that this is due to the lack of technology during that time.
-
They make choices in friends, partners, and activities that go against their own best interests. They find it difficult to see an abstract goal in terms of the concrete steps needed to reach it. They have trouble planning their days and their years.
When it comes to frontal lobe damage it makes people think in a whole different manner and makes it harder to choose friends and have some trouble to reach their goals and plan their future.
-
the frontal lobe is where reason and judgment reside. It is where rational thoughts balance, and regulate, the feelings and impulses of the emotional brain.
I feel like this is the part of the brain in which Gage was injured which I feel like that is why Gage changed the way he was and just made him look at things in a different picture.
-
This all changed in the 1970s when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and then functional MRI (fMRI) technology made it possible for doctors to look at the brain in vivo. A host of new technologies can now measure brain activity in living children and adults, and this has allowed researchers to better understand how the brain works.
With the following of new technologies during the 1970s it made it much easier for the people to study the brain and learn all of the functions of it.
-
Gage’s condition suggested that, while the forward part of the brain may not have much to do with whether we live and breathe, it has a lot to do with how we act. It would be more than a hundred years before scientists would understand how.
After the accident Gage was looked at by many physicians they had found out that the brain has much more to it than they believed. Therefore they began to do more research on the brain to understand how it works.
-
Phineas Gage now said and did what he wanted with little concern for others or the consequences.
As he went on he began to care less for others and just did what he wanted to do.
-
Although in the mid-1800s scientists were not sure how the brain worked, it was generally thought to be central to life and movement.
To this day people are still trying to figure out how some of the brain functions. so far they have learned that there is much more involved with the brain rather than just being central to life and movement.

She wanted to stay in photography but wasn’t sure how. She started nannying, the checks flowed under the table, the years ticked by, and her parents said, “We told you so.”
I feel like she did not have too much support from her parents. The support from a persons parents is extremely important in order for that person to be successful.
-
Helen’s parents had been specific about what college should be about: Tri-Delt and pre-med. All this despite the fact that Helen was a talented photographer who not-so-secretly wanted to major in art
You should not be forced even by your own parents to study something that you really would not like to do. In order to live a successful and happy life you should do what you really like to do which in this case she really enjoyed being a photographer and wanted to major in art.
-
Many twentysomethings assume life will come together quickly after thirty, and maybe it will. But it is still going to be a different life. We imagine that if nothing happens in our twenties then everything is still possible in our thirties. We think that by avoiding decisions now, we keep all of our options open for later—but not making choices is a choice all the same.
Some people may wait for the perfect choice to make, but time is running out so they have to make the choice that will either change their lives or continue just the way they are going.
-
There are fifty million twentysomethings in the United States, most of whom are living with a staggering, unprecedented amount of uncertainty.
Many of the people today currently experience this, because some of the people just don't know what to do with their life. This applies to college student as well, for example me. I'm still unsure on what I would like to do with my life, but I know that I will eventually find my meaning.
-
The young look older and the old look younger,
I believe that this is true because there are some kids that are just barely teens and they be looking like they are full grown adults.
-
Kate looked around and felt behind. She wanted what her friends had—a job or a purpose or a boyfriend
When she was with her friends she realized that she is doing something wrong, because her friends had all of these things that she didn't, so she began to try and find solutions in order to catch up to her friends.
-
I insisted she be on time for sessions. I interrupted stories about the latest hookup to ask about the status of her driver’s license and her job search. Perhaps most important, Kate and I debated about what therapy—and her twenties—was supposed to be about.
I feel like her life is so unknown and sh e does not know what is important and what is going to get her to be successful in life. Instead of getting her drivers license she is trying to be on hookups. Another thing that is also very important is that she needs to know that searching for a job is also very important because without a job is hard to live a successful life.
-
She thought she might like to work in fund-raising, and she hoped to figure out what she wanted to do by age thirty.
It kind of crazy how some of the people wait until the age of thirty in order to find out what you would like to be in your life. I feel as generations pass more and more people take longer to decide what they would like to be in their lives.

And when I want to do a music video, I can’t use a male model and do crazy things.” The same goes for Offset, though: “He knows better than to do certain things in music videos. I’ll beat his ass.”
Humor could also be essential in an interview because as I said before it is just another factor that could lead to improving your writing. Also it just keeps the readers entertained.
-
As she tells it, they had talked about marriage
Stories from the person that you are talking about could make the article very interesting and just hook them to continue reading it.

Cardi B Gets Candid: Hip-Hop’s Fiercest Female Rapper Speaks Out About Her Past, Her Career, and Being a New Mom
In my opinion the titles are extremely important because its what makes people want to read your article. If you have a really cool interesting title it makes people want to read your paper. Also the titles should have an overview of what your article is about.

The New York Times Book Review has said that Cisneros is “not only a gifted writer but an absolutely essential one.” Her books include a 1987 collection of poetry, “My Wicked Wicked Ways”; a 1991 short-story collection, “Woman Hollering Creek and other stories”; followed by “Loose Woman: Poems”; and in 2002, the novel, “Caramelo.”
The author mentions many facts that make her article much more credible and make her writing much stronger.

“With money and fame comes responsibility, and the amount is exactly what they need,” she said in a phone interview from her home in San Miguel de Allende, the stunning colonial city in central Mexico where she has lived since 2013.
The author just showed us a strong line and with a very smooth transition into telling us some background information about Sandra Cisneros.

You’ll find that he said much that’s not interesting, or not pertinent, or that’s repetitive. Single out the sentences that are most important or colorful.
Once you re-read your interview notes, you should take out the parts that the most unique and important.
-
I like the fact that that person can see me working—doing a job, not just sitting there letting a machine do it for me.
when writing down an interview, apart form making you look like a hard worker, I feel like it makes you look like you care and more professional.
-
Be a writer. Write things down.
When going to interview someone it is much better to be a writer than to record the whole conversation because the tape recorders could malfunction and so that later in the evening you do not have to listen to it over and over again.
-
Take a while just to chat, gauging what sort of person you’re dealing with, getting him or her to trust you. Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can.
If you are going to go to an interview make sure you actually know the person enough. And if you don't know each other then get to know each other and go from there.
-
Choose as your subject someone whose job is so important, or so interesting, or so unusual that the average reader would want to read about that person.
You should also choose a subject that is unique in order to grab peoples attention.
-
To learn the craft of nonfiction you must push yourself out into the real world—your town or your city or your county—and pretend that you’re writing for a real publication.
It is much better to not just interview people that are around you, but to interview people that are outside of your comfort zone.
-
Those three examples are typical of the kind of information that is locked inside people’s heads, which a good nonfiction writer must unlock. The best way to practice is to go out and interview people.
According to the author, the best way to write good non-fiction is to go out and interview people and receive feedback on the topic that you will be discussing.
-
It was chosen with a little difficulty, because some of the characterization was not very authentic or convincing.
When deciding what sections to put from the interview it could be very difficult because some of the parts can be very difficult to believe.
-
I added my own interviews with the club’s founder, Harry Scherman, and with the judges who were then active
Apart from having over 1000 pages of text and interviews he would still go out of his way in order to gain more knowledge on the topic that he would write about. I feel like he does this to make his paper even more unique, instead of using other peoples interviews.
-
Whatever form of nonfiction you write, it will come alive in proportion to the number of “quotes” you can weave into it as you go along.
This is pretty much trying to say that the more quotes you put into your writing the more realistic it becomes. This could eventually lead to you being more credible and it makes you feel like you are having a conversation with an actual person.

becoming more aware of how the self-machine works: of how your mind operates and distorts things.
In order to learn about yourself you do not just have to know what you like d what you dislike. You need to understand how your own mind works.

Criticism is always challenging, but people respond to it in a variety ways. It can be hugely beneficial to get a better grip on your characteristic response/behaviour around criticism – in order to be able to modulate it, and advance towards the more mature varieties.
People respond to criticism in a lot of different ways some may react upset about and get mad at the person who give the criticism and other could take that criticism and make themselves better from it.
-
However, getting hold of data from others is a very unreliable process. Very few people can be bothered to undertake the arduous task of giving us feedback.
Sometimes you just need some feedback from another person in order to learn about yourself, but some people tend to get mad when they get feedback. Therefore, it is hard to get to know yourself in that aspect, some people just take it the wrong way.
-
We are too modest: we miss out on opportunities
I felt this because there are so many opportunities that a person could take in order to succeed but we just do not take them.
-
We only have a few short years in which to come up with a convincing answer about what we want to do with our lives. Then, wherever we are in the thought-process, we have to jump into a job in order to have enough money to survive or appease society’s demands for our productivity.
I feel like I could relate to this because that is most teens nowadays. We oonly have a short time before we graduate from high school and decide what we would like to do with ourselves, it is either go to college or go get a job.
-
With such a poor level of understanding of our characters, no wonder we aren’t in any position to know who we should be looking out for.
If we don't know much about ourselves it is difficult to find our perfect partner and we just don't know what we would be looking for.
-
A good partnership is not so much one between two healthy people (there aren’t many of these on the planet), it’s one between two demented people who have had the skill or luck to find a non-threatening conscious accommodation between their relative insanities
What they are trying to say is that a good relationship is between to people that are kind of crazy but find ways to live with each other even with their ways.
-
Self-knowledge is important for one central reason: because it offers us a route to greater happiness and fulfilment.
If you don't know much about yourself then you don't really know what you enjoy or what you dislike. You could be doing something you completely hate without even knowing you hate it. That's why it is important to know about yourself, so that you can be happy.
-
Knowing yourself has extraordinary prestige in our culture.
Nowadays to know yourself is extremely important because then you know who you are and what is the meaning of your life.
-
unexamined life was not worth living.
What this is trying to say is that if you do not work towards trying to examine your own life then what is the purpose of you living.

Now he can hardly believe what a liberating journey he is embarked on: how much he is discovering about his father that he never understood, and about his own life.
Even though it can be hard to write about your personal life, it could really help you understand the person you really are.
-
I asked him when he was going to start writing about the elements in his life that were really important to him, including his father. One of these days, he said. But the day was always put off.
I feel like sometimes it is hard for people to write about their personal stuff. that is why people would keep putting it off.
-
Perfectionism is one way our muscles cramp. In some cases we don’t even know that the wounds and the cramping, are there, but both limit us.
Perfectionism is limiting us from being at our fullest capacity.
-
perfectionism will ruin your writing, blocking inventiveness and playfulness and life force (these are words we are allowed to use in California). Perfectionism means that you try desperately not to leave so much mess to clean up. But clutter and mess show us that life is being lived.
Trying to be perfect could ruin your writing because you are pretty much taking away emotion and taking away the person you are in your writing.
-
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people.
What this is to say is that to be perfect is the enemy of the people because it is very hard to be perfect and people are to hard on themselves because they are not perfect.
-
Then I’d stop, remember to breathe, make a few phone calls, hit the kitchen and chow down. Eventually I’d go back and sit down at my desk, and sigh for the next ten minutes.
I could relate to this because sometimes you just get tired of writing, therefore you need to go and take a break. Once you come back, you come back with a fresh brain again and you are ready to start writing again.
-
Even after I’d been doing this for years, panic would set in. I’d try to write a lead, but instead I’d write a couple of dreadful sentences, XX them out, try again, XX everything out
Even people with a lot of experience would panic because they would try and make perfect even if they had to start all over again just like she did.
-
There may be something in the very last line of the very last paragraph on page six that you just love, that is so beautiful or wild that you now know what you’re supposed to be writing about, more or less, or in what direction you might go — but there was no way to get to this without first getting through the first five and a half pages.
What she is trying to say that in order to get to the good parts you must read all that parts that come before it.
-
Now, practically even better news than that of short assignments is the idea of shitty first drafts. All good writers write them. This is how they end up with good second drafts and terrific third, drafts.
In order to get good final drafts it requires for you to go through many drafts in order to get the perfect one.
-
We must continue to work the compost pile, enriching it and making it fertile so that something beautiful may bloom and so that our writing muscles are in good shape to ride the universe when it moves through us.”
In order to get better at something that someone does you must continue to work in making better, so that once something comes up you will perform it excellently.
-
When we are raking our minds and taking our shallow thinking and turning it over, if we continue to work with this raw matter, it will draw us deeper and deeper into ourselves
What she is trying to say is that if we continue to explore our mind, it will help us get to know ourselves much more.
-
Our sense by themselves are dumb. They take in experience, but they need the richness of sifting for a while through our consciousness and through our whole bodies. I call this “composting.” Our bodies are garbage heaps: we collect experience, and from the decomposition of the thrown-out eggshells, spinach leaves, coffee grinds, and old steak bones of our minds come nitrogran, heat, and very fertile soil. Out of this fertile soil bloom our poems and stories. But this does not come all at once. It takes time. Continue to turn over and over the organic details of your life until some of them fall through the garbage of discursive thoughts to the solid ground of black soil.
In this paragraph she compares composting to our bodies and mind. She explains how our bodies are garbage heaps and they collect the garbage. Our minds are the factors that help create the fertile soil. Finally form the fertile soil stories and poems and memories come out over time.

I did not know it was too early for that because I did not know Paris well enough.
The author is trying to say that it is hard to write about something you don't really know about yet. For instance she can't write a lot about Paris because she does not know it enough.

“Baby,” I’ll tell her “remember your mama is a worrier but your papa is a warrior and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more.”
the authors is pretty much saying that both of the parents are extremely hard working and would do anything for her, but while they work for themselves they will also have to take care of their baby and give her everything that she wants.

I’m sorry I never came home. For every lesson I failed to teach, hear these words: Shave in one direction in strong, deliberate strokes to avoid irritation. Dribble the page with the brilliance of your ballpoint pen. Walk like a god and your goddess will come to you. No longer will I be there to knock on your door, so you must learn to knock for yourself. Knock knock down doors of racism and poverty that I could not Knock knock on doors of opportunity for the lost brilliance of the black men who crowd these cells. Knock knock with diligence for the sake of your children. Knock knock for me for as long as you are free, these prison gates cannot contain my spirit. The best of me still lives in you.
This was a letter that the author of the piece wrote to all of the kids that had absent fathers and to me it was just extremely significant because it tells some of the kids that did not have their fathers to not give up and that they must go on with their lives.
-
And so twenty-five years later, I write these words For the little boy in me who still awaits his papa’s knock.
For all that time he awaited for his fathers knock, but it never came, so he wrote those words for his father.

At the time the boy did not know what problems his family was going through all he really wanted was for him to be in his fathers arms.

I was raised by women
The poet emphasizes how she was raised by all sorts of women also she mention many different types of women or environments in which she was raised.
-
This is me she is carrying. I am a baby. She does not know I will turn out bad.
The poet is like foreshadowing the future because in the poem it talks about his father separating even before she was born and she feels like that is going to really affect her in the future leading to her to become bad.

I want to know when you get to be from a place, Five years, ten, twenty? What about when you find a place you love?
I like this line because to me it means that you can be from anywhere you would like to be, even if you are just there for a couple of months the only thing that matters is that you love the place.
