...with numerous awards for his work, this is a specific one that he tells from his personal experiences in the past (Scenters-Zapico 122). Then my last article is how after third grade, kids tend to fail unless they are heavy regulated or in a sport. This was called “Equity and school time” by James H. Lytle. He is a practice professor at the Graduate School of Education and the University of Pennsylvania, he was also a former urban principal and superintendent. Davidson, Rose, and Lytle all urge readers to understand that minority students are discriminated against in the education system (Kappan). However, Davidson’s argument is the most rhetorically effective because her story that was told was her own story and there were points from other sources only to back up her credibility. The “bad” essay would have to be Lytle’s article about school time. His main argument is that students who lives...

...Developing Economies: Overworked, Little Pay An Annotated Bibliography Timothy, Jeannine P. “Sweatshops in Paradise: A True Story of Slavery in Modern America.” Utah Bar Journal 27.2 (2014): 36-38. Legal Connection. Web. 16 Mar. 2016. This article is a book review done by the author, Jeannine Timothy. Timothy goes on to talk about a lady named Virginia Lynn Sudbury and how wonderful she is as a person. Virginia article is informative about the Vietnam sweatshops. As Timothy states, “The first reason is to learn of the astounding, heartbreaking, and recent practice of human slavery and servitude that occurred in American Samoa.” (page 36) Jeannine thinks of Virginia as an outstanding human being. They met during a court case regarding a child and its guardian. She then read into the story of Virginia and how she encountered a one in a lifetime experience dealing with how sweatshops mistreated women. The theme of this article is to tell how inspiring Virginia is and to go into greater detail of Virginia’s story. Because I am arguing that sweatshops overworked people, this article will help me explain that. Powell, Benjamin. “Meet the Old Sweatshops.” Independent Review 19.1 (2014): 109. Advanced Placement Source. Web. 28 Mar. 2016. Benjamin Powell claims that sweatshops have low minimum wage. The article also includes working long hours and being in horrible working conditions dealing with safe and healthiness. Sweatshops helps the economy become better. In...

...minors and females for the company’s total workers is not validated through a non-biased party. UNICEF is a good source to get demographic data in industrial settings and they are more reliable than a union’s statistics. Fairness: Speaker talks about the “little girl…working hour after hour…trying not to collapse from the heat…” and that violates the fairness of the argument. He is trying to manipulate the audience by appealing to their emotional side. This argument is not based in factual evidence, and therefore, could be dismissed by the audience. There may not be a little girl in this exact situation described, and therefore, this statement is irrelevant. This could be corrected by leaving the entire story of the “little girl” out, or an interview of a child that works in the factory could be conducted giving a first-hand look into the conditions of the workplace. Breadth: The next violation is the breadth. The essay did not mention any interviews of the workers, nor opposing/alternate viewpoints of the supervisors. The problem is that Honduras is a third world country. They are “forced” to work ten hours a day, when the regular sweatshops force their workers to work at least twelve hours; workers might be willing and eagerly working for this company. We will never truly understand how they feel or what they think because no communication was made with the workers. And the only way to understand the situation is listening to the both sides.

...The Tell Tale Heart, a literary masterpiece by Edgar Allan Poe. Esteemed by many, but narrated by a potential madman. The narrator attempts to make a case throughout the story of how his acts are deliberate and thoughtful. Although, throughout the story as the narrator insists he is mentally stable, the tone and phrasing of his words does nothing, but emphasize his ravings as those of a madman. The narrator’s arguments are based on nothing more than persistence, narcissism, and a reliance on the readers trust in a narrator’s facts to be unquestionably authentic. With every mention of the narrator’s sanity and the possibility of his mental instability he persists in dispute that he is no madman. The over emphasis of this causes the legitimacy of the narrator’s claims to appear fabricatedand even add to the counter case. In addition, at a point he is unsure of the reason for the murder: “I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this!” A sane man would never forget a reason to even provoke the thought of murder, let alone persuade the action. Every night he would come and watch the old man sleep for eight nights, clearly he had been thinking about it and...

...In the book “Outliers: The Story of Success”, by Malcolm Gladwell, he reviews the lives of those people who have accomplished a lot and have been successful. Gladwell begins his book with the definition word "outliers”. According to Gladwell, outliers makes some people remarkably more successful than the other people. He thinks that these outliers are usually supposed to have talent and intelligence compared to an average and normal person. Gladwell shows these things by searching and looking at the background of some famous and remarkable outliers. Gladwell also takes an opposite view about how people achieve and manage high points of success. He states that definitely skills, abilities, knowledge and a lot of hard work are needed, and that success is also influenced by anyone. It means that people should look afar individual’s capability, excellence, worth, and value. In the first chapter, “The...

In the film 12 Angry Men, 12 men were chosen to sit on a jury for a murder case. A case that after hearing all of the evidence they assumed it was an open and closed case. A few of the jurors were very excited because they had baseball games to attend along with other personal events going on in their lives. All were ready to make the vote of a guilty verdict, oh but one. After calming down, stretching legs, and a little small talk, the foreman decided to assign that the setting would be in order from juror numbers 1 thru 12 around the table. They took a vote to see were everyone stood on their decision and there were 11 guilty and 1 not guilty votes. That’s when the other 11 had the opportunity to persuade the 1 to vote guilty, however, it was a difficult job. This one particular juror saw room for reasonable doubt within the testimonies of the witnesses and the remainder of the evidence and wanted to discuss them a little more. The reasons for voting guilty were all over the place. Some of the men had logical reasoning for the decision and others just had not particular reason at all, just because they thought he was guilty. Some assumed he was guilty because a woman who lived across from the defendant...

...The average American student beginning their education in Kindergarten and ending with a high school diploma spends 1, 170 hours in school, this calculates to over 15 thousand hours over the span of their education. Considering this information, it is highly plausible that teachers are some of the most significant people in a person’s life, shaping how they see and relate to the world. Yet, many teachers do not receive the recognition one would expect from such a crucial system. Feelings of being overworked and underappreciated are common. In an October 11, 2008 Newsweek article, Heather Robinson makes a comparable argument. Though she began her career in youth services, she quickly found herself desiring to make a more significant impact in the life of young people; therefore she pursued a career as an educator. In the article titled “I Am Not A Babysitter”, Robinson chronicles her career as a teacher and elaborates on the passion, the sacrifice, and sometimes, the lack of respect that come with it. Through establishing a mild ethos based on her experience in education, and a strong pathos utilizing relatable stories, Robinson makes an effective argument calling for increased respect and understanding toward teachers. By selecting Newsweek as her platform Robinson has a potential audience of 13.2 million readers. In addition to this, it is one of the top selling weekly news magazines in the US. The large circulation of the magazine affords to Robinson a national voice along...

...pieces of evidence at the same time. I think that the hardest part for me in this was just cross-referencing everything because that’s where you find the holes to ask the questions for your own witnesses and as well for the cross-examining – this can either make or break your case. As for the playing my own part, which was giving the closing statement for prosecution, I think that it was fun. It was fun to get into character and get a sense of what it’s like to make your team’s last final points on the case. I realized that in order to give a solid closing statement, you have sound convincing and strong to persuade the jury if they are sitting on the line. I think that the...

...Gladwell wrote that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness” (41). What he was referring to here, is something I had never formerly acknowledged. Beforehand, I knew being successful required hard work, but this concept of ten thousand hours was hard to grasp. My ambiguity regarding Gladwell’s philosophy behind the ten thousand hour rule quickly vanished. As Gladwell presented numerous prominent figures of whom exemplified this notion, his idea started to become more clear. Gladwell’s story of The Beatles served as one of these examples. He mentioned that the ten thousand hours in which they performed prior to becoming famous is what “made” them into an iconic band. From the evidence which Gladwell presented, it was clear to see that putting in ten thousand hours of work resulted in a greater chance of success for several individuals or groups. Often times, I would agree that the majority of people would consider hard work to be a dominant factor when it comes to success, but what fails to be analyzed is just how much time this actually requires. It is easy to believe the misconception that ten thousand hours of work is easy to complete as long as you are motivated. Gladwell would be the first one to tell you this unfortunately is not the case. Those who are able to carry out...

...Imagine: you’re a part of the jury in a court-case involving the accusation of a man murdering his own father. What is the first thing one would look at to prove the case guilty or not guilty? Starting at the very basics, evidence is by far the most important attribute of a case. Evidence of motives, intentions, actions, confessions and other vocalizations hold the most effective and win-worthy arguments. These components are like a concoction, with the right amount of each, it creates the perfect argument for a case. They all provide different characteristics and can be interpreted diversely. For this reason, when studying the murder in the story of Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, all of those qualities were taken into consideration. In the play,...

..."The Yellow Wallpaper" written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, was first published in 1892, and "The Story of an Hour" written by Kate Chopin, was written and first published under the title "The Dream of an Hour" in 1894. These two stories deal with the position of women in the late 1800’s. This era is especially interesting because women were still treated as second-class citizens. These two stories had a lot in common and shared a lot of the same views about life of women governed by the laws of men. Aside that both husbands, Mr. Mallard from "The Story of an Hour" and John from "The Yellow Wallpaper" are very similar as they both have a very strong hold and control over their wives, they also are very different such as John demonstrates his dominance by talking down to his wife. This is demonstrated by the following quote: "What is it, little girl?" he said. "Don't go walking about like that – you'll get cold" “(Gilman 63) but in “The Story of an Hour”, there is a different type of male dominance as Mr. Mallard did not allow her to fulfill her dreams and aspirations. Although both men have a strong control over their wives, both men deeply care for and love their wives. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” the narrator’s husband controlled her both mentally and physically. Her husband, “a physician of high standing” (Gilman 55), has diagnosed her as having a “temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency” (Gilman 55). He does not allow her to have any sort of mental or physical...
