TOPIC: I strongly believe that in the grand scheme of things, social media is ruining how people communicate and our time on it should be cut down. RESTRICTION: The biggest issue is how easy accessible it is to use it and get lost in it. ILLUSTRATION: For example, As social media’s popularity increases each day, a psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova expresses her opinion on the topic through her article, “The Limits of Friendship”. Konnikova goes through her article talking…

3. From what Lamott has to say, is writing a first draft more about the product orthe process? Do you agree in regard to your own first drafts? Explain. From what Lamott has said, she believes that writing a rough draft is more about the process rather than a product. That is why she describes a draft as “shitty” because it’s supposed to be. She believes that a draft isn’t supposed to be perfect, but it’s supposed to get the…

Chen Reading Response Published September 16, 2024 by cmoore29 2. At the beginning of Chens reading, Phelps-Roper appears to be some radical antisemitist and spreads hate throughout the church. Known for its anti-gay and anti-semitic ways, Westboro Baptist Church was where Phelps was a member of. Although she began off as this radical, she goes through a huge change to better her ways throughout the story. Many Americans assume that people can’t change and better themselves, but Phelps-Roper did. it wasn’t easy at first but…

I strongly believe that Wallace had 3 main points in his speech. these 3 points are awareness, self-centeredness, and making conscious choices. I believe in the fact that there are 3 main points in the speech because DFW introduces and heavily talks about those 3 specifically or about things that relate to them. First, awareness. awareness isn’t just knowing what you are doing at a specific moment, but truly knowing why and what is going on in a situation/experience. We…

Wallace had 3 main points in his speech. these 3 points are awareness, self-centeredness, and making conscious choices. First, awareness. awareness isn’t just knowing what you are doing at a specific moment, but truly knowing why and what is going on in a situation/experience. We need to be more aware of everything around us and really enjoy the important things in life. Wallace mentions, “This is water” which emphasizes the fact that a lot of important things in our lives…

I strongly believe that in the grand scheme of things, social media is ruining how people communicate and act. Some may ask, “Why do we even use social media?”, and there is no specific answer to why we do. Social media does help us meet new people and get up to date on the latest news that comes out, but is it worth it? Is having a device going off every 5 minutes letting us know what’s going on outside…

Overall, I enjoyed this first peer review because it allowed me to get more comfortable with a new student in my class and give/receive good feedback on our drafts. Specific feedback I got were things that talked about my flow and how I can add/replace things to make my essay seem more smooth. for example, I said at the beginning that “social media needs to be cut down” to “social media needs to be used more appropriately” so I should…

Before: in my opinion, I strongly believe there are many elements that are almost required to maintain a healthy and meaningful friendship. I believe the most important thing is communication. If you aren’t able to communicate and get through conflicts then it will tear the friendship apart. Another big element is trust when it comes to a meaningful relationship. If you can’t trust your friend to be by your side and not betray you then that will only cause conflict…
