...parents who let you make your own choices. To make your own choices and mistakes make you to a stronger person. It make you to the person you are not the one you want to be. A.S. Neill has written a book, which is called “Summerhill – a radical approach to child rearing”. It is about how to raise a child. The third text is a section of his book. A.S. Neill is using factual information to engage us throughout the text. “Nijinsky could not pass his exams in St. Petersburg, and he could not enter the State Ballet without passing those exams.” (p. 7, l. 3-4) This quote is something that most young people can relate to. By using factual information he underlines his statement. By using situations that we can relate to, he engages us, and makes us want to keep reading and stay in school. Many people will be able to identify themselves with Nijinsky. We can therefore conclude that A.S. Neill makes use of pathos. “I have seen a girl weep nightly over geometry.” (p. 7, l. 11) This quote does also make use of pathos, because that many people will be able to identify themselves with this little girl too. Every child has something that...

...letting them follow their own dreams. A.S Neill also criticizes the coercive education system. The writer of the third text is the founder of Summerhill School and therefore is a reliable source since he himself have witnessed the flaws of the education system and also the mind-set of parents pushing their children to unwanted academics. With his authority he is using ethos since he has himself have seen the struggles up close with following your dreams or following the education system. He criticizes how parents push the children to academics they themselves have not chosen. At the beginning of the text he uses short but bold statements on his opinion about learning. “I am not decrying learning. But learning should come after play.”(T. 3 l. 1) The effect with short sentences is they are uncomplicated, short and honest thus it engages the reader immediately. Short sentences also...

...1) I think that “In Cold Blood” synthesis essay was the most effective. I got a 95 on it the first time and redid it for a grade of 97. I was able to craft an efficient argument since I was making up my own rhetoric not analyzing someone else's. I Think that as an author I was able to use my own opinions on the subject and I did not have to look through the text for another author's ideas 2) I think so. The first rhetorical analysis I wrote gout a mere 4. The most recent of which got an 8. I think that this is a great improvement over the course of this timeframe. I also was able to learn many new words in the vocabulary quizzes that we took so far. I also was able to understand how Logos, Pathos, and Ethos all can...

...having an independent state of mind and of that she’s especially happy for her mother. In contrast to Sophia’s upbringing, text 2 and 3 represent a completely opposite view on how children should be raised. In text 2 Kate Loveys writes about Dr. Bryan Caplan’s opinion on raising children, as he’s parenting guru. They give a view on how parents should be more relaxed about raising their children and how not to be control freaks, which doesn’t do your child any good: “Quit fretting over how much TV your kids watch. Don’t force them to do a million activities they hate” (text 2 ll. 17-19). According to Dr. Caplan, allowing kids to do what they want is nature and only relieves the parents. He believes parents should cut some slack, which is for the better both for the parents but also the child. In text 3 A.S. Neill states that children should have no leash in terms of what the child finds interesting. Neill uses a famous Russian ballet dancer Nijinsky as an example. Even though Nijinsky was restricted getting further in the art by exams he could not pass, he kept on fighting for what he wanted, because that was his desire, and that lead to him being one of the best in the art of ballet. Neill simply thinks that the child’s own desire always should be available to pursue: “I am not decrying learning. But learning should come after play” (text 3 ll. 6-7)....

...How children should be raised Our upbringing has a critical importance for us. It makes us who we are and has a great influence on our way of living. Today, most parents try to raise their children to become as perfect as can be. Kids are forced into education and have become victims of insecurity because of the major pressure the civilization puts on their shoulders. These methods of raising children have caused great debate. 1. In text 1, Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld tells about how it was being raised by her mother Amy Chua. Her Chinese mother has recently received a lot of critic on her new book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which is described as “how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids” (p. 2, l. 4). Though most people have criticized her mother’s raising technique, Sophia Chua thanks her mother for pushing her to do that extra limit. She says her mother’s “tough love” parenting methods actually has raised her to be an independent thinker who has lived her whole life at 110 percent. Mother and writer Amy Chua has surely used strict parenting, not letting her kids attend to a sleepover or even having a playdate, making her playing violin and piano in her sparetime. Sophia Chua uses an example of how her mother and dad pushed her to learn something new in a school-assignment by not letting her interview her grandparents, which would have been the easy way out, but instead pushing her to interview a terrifying Israeli paratrooper. All in all, Amy Chua used...

It makes us who we are and has a great influence on our way of living. Parents today try to raise their children as perfect as they can be. There are many ways of childraising. A lot of different ways also. But there is not a single answer, for the normal or perfect childraising. Parents raise their child or child’s different.

...EDUCATION ENHANCES NURSING 1 The nursing workforce today consists of a wide range of educated professionals. These professionals are from all races, both male and female, young and old. Their educational background varies from, diploma, associate, baccalaureate or graduate degrees. Each nursing program has different graduation requirements, which determine the length of time to complete the program. Many factors can influence which program best suits the individual’s needs. Financial hardship, logistics or the amount of time available to devote to the curriculum are a few. Potential nurses also must consider their career objectives, and roles they would like to play in the nursing field. Nursing education can be compared to a stepping-stone. All paths begin with stones, as the path widens, the stones may stack. One degree may follow another and careers will advance as you grow in your profession. Nursing education prepares the students to practice differently. Associate Degree and Bachelor of Science Nursing degrees are the two most prevalent program choices. Prerequisites are required and clinical rotations will occur in both programs, however Associate Degree programs are known for more clinical experience. Associate Degree Nursing, ADN programs focus more on science, and technical skills. These programs began to address the nursing shortage. Completion usually takes two to three years. Two...

...Study drugs in the USA There are a lot of demands on the youth of today. These young people are in the transition from childhood to adulthood, which is the time where they learn the most. They have to learn to find themselves, and from it, learn to take their own decisions, and take responsebility for their own future. Due to this they have to perform well during their school time and get good grades, which will give them a chance to attend a fine university. This can be very demaning and many students would have to spend day and night preparing for exams. This late night studying can make the students very exhausted and overloaded, but this complex of problems seems to have got a solution and it is called “study drugs”, which David Sack criticizes in his blog article “Do 'Study Drugs' Breed a Nation of Winners – or Cheaters?”, broadcasted in July 19 2012.1 In the blog article David Sack writes that there are many consequences due to this particular form of drug abuse but purpose is to give the students a energy boost, which gives them the ability to study faster, and remember more. But there is also some side effects that David Sacks mentions. Some of them are depression, mood swings, exhaustion, heart rate and blood pressure irregularities, and psychosis. Another consequence that David Sacks thinks is very important but is often overlooked is the risk of addiction. This is a big problem because the American college students have no problem with using the...

...DESCRIPTION is one of four rhetorical modes (also known as modes of discourse), along with exposition, argumentation, and narration. Each of the rhetorical modes is present in a variety of forms and each has its own purpose and conventions.

Description as a fiction-writing mode Fiction is a form of narrative, one of the four rhetorical modes of discourse. Fiction-writing also has distinct forms of expression, or modes, each with its own purposes and conventions. Agent and author Evan Marshall (agent) identifies five fiction-writing modes: action, summary, dialogue, feelings/thoughts, and background (Marshall 1988, pp. 143–165). Author and writing-instructor Jessica Page Morrell lists six delivery modes for fiction-writing: action, exposition, description, dialogue, summary, and transition (Morrell 2006, p. 127). Author Peter Selgin refers to methods, including action, dialogue, thoughts, summary, scene, and description (Selgin 2007, p. 38). Currently, there is no consensus within the writing community regarding the number and composition of fiction-writing modes and their uses. Description is the fiction-writing mode for transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story. Together with dialogue, narration, exposition, and summarization, description is one of the most widely recognized of the fiction-writing modes. As stated in Writing from A to Z, edited by Kirk...
