Persuasive Writing Prompt November 2017 "People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves." This quote was
from Paulo Coelho, a lyricist, and novelist. This quote explains why I want to experience Sano Japan. I want to know what Sano Japan is like, I
want to experience its culture, atmosphere and more. I want to go because things like books and YouTube videos, just don't show what it is really
like there. The only way you can actually experience it is by being there in person like the quote says. I have grown up in Lancaster for all my life, I
grew up in a family that wasn't as great as others. My parents both were people who really wanted to go to college, but the cost was just too great for
them. This however...show more content...
I could "go anywhere" without going anywhere, if you know what I mean. I love to experience new things, it is one of my favorite things to do.
This trip would mean a lot to me because it would be the best way for me to experience life and learn. I can talk about how amazing my grades are
and how they are always straight As. However, that wouldn't be that helpful. Well, they do help but I am more than that. I am a dedicated person.
Once I set my eyes on something, I won't stop until I've done it and done it well. I have my parents to thank for that. This dedication helped me excel in
school. Learning came easily to me. I am also a courteous and kind person. You do not have to worry about me messing around and disrespecting
the people of Sano Japan. This doesn't mean I can't have fun. I can get along with people, no matter who they are. I was a shy kid, who didn't like
to talk a lot, however, my friends have brought out who I really was. I could talk more about my qualities that would make me the best choice for

Persuasive Essay About Hamlet
Hamlet Is A Deceiver
Insanity is a perfectly rational adjustment to the sane world. In the play Hamlet several times only with family and close family members has he
showed any signs of madness. However when he is alone he is thinking of ways to make other believe that he is insane. Hamlet is trying to deceive
everyone by his words and his actions. Essentially the book Hamlet is about a boy who needs to help his father to take revenge by assassinating the
king so that he may be in peace. Although Hamlet seems insane throughout most of the book, he is just faking it so that he may assassinate the king
and avenge his forebear.
Hamlet is trying to make his family believe that he is truly insane by his words. Hamlet says himself that he will be faking to be insane so that he
can kill Claudius when he says "as I perchance hereafter shall think meet to put on an antic disposition"(1.5.58), an antic disposition is to act insane
to seem harmless to Claudius. Also Hamlet says"Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but
yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me"(3.1.118). This shows that Hamlet is annoyed by his mother as
she so soonly remarried after her father death and he insulting his mother. As the ghost said to Hamlet "leave her to heaven and to those thorns that in
her bosom lodge to prick and sting her"(1.5.89), which was basically asking him to not physically hurt his mother but to make her feel ashamed for her
actions that her consciousness overwhelms her and she comes to realize how offending of an act she has done. Gertrude is shocked when Hamlet starts
to talk to the wall and she says "O gentle son, upon the heat and flame of thy distemper sprinkle cool patience! whereon do you look?"(3.4.132–141).
As the ghost just talked to Hamlet and since Gertrude did not see the ghost she thought that Hamlet was talking to the wall. Hence Gertrude is
convinced that Hamlet is insane as he is talking to the wall. It also was a move by Hamlet to talk to the wall to make Gertrude believe that he was
insane, as it was all part of his plan to kill Claudius. Hamlet demonstrates another action of madness when he strikes

Reflection Of A Persuasive Reflection
Reflection of a Persuasive Essay by Vickie Hale In my revision, I decided to incorporate actionable feedback from the feedback I received. The
feedback I received was that my essay needed more clarification, I choose to use this feedback to help make my argument more developed, I wanted to
create a better thought out essay and I worked on the clarification of my argument as well as renewed my research. With that, I did some critical
thinking to help work through the weak areas of my essay which was the structure and syntax. Therefore, I incorporated these suggestions because
they helped me to improve my essay and help me to create a more persuasive essay. Without these changes alongside the small revisions, I made, I do
not believe my essay would have been as well–written so they were much needed. My biggest challenges came from not being able to pin down my
argument, it took me a while to come find a side to an argument that wasn't vague. Because, I usually write in a creative way, which does not
necessarily have to be persuasive, I usually write fictional stories and people getting the understanding from the experiences of the characters is the
outcome, but with persuasive writing, you are trying to get your readers to not only agree with your side of the argument but to see what and why
you are arguing your side in the first place. This became difficult for me because I kept feeling like my argument was not central and a little vague.
I worked on trying to help my readers understand what and why I was arguing my side of the argument. I had to think about who was reading my
essay and this helped. What I could have done differently is choose a more central argument, I believe it would have reduced my challenges. This
question is hard for me to answer because I did not receive but one peer feedback, the feedback I incorporated concerning my exploration of the
issue was more clarification because that was one of the problems my peer review pointed out. I worked on my clarification because it is one of the
main elements, that is needed when you are writing a persuasive essay or any essay for that matter. Clarification gives the essay structure so your
readers can have a full understanding of your

Think about this: what do you do when you see a man proposing to a girl? Do you savor that moment and think about how it might happen to you.
Or do you whip out your phone and take a picture or video, and think, this is going to be cool to show my friends! Let's try another scenario: you're
walking along and you see a deer! Oh, what a majestic deer! Are you going to take a picture, potentially scaring it away, or do you smile at it and stare
for a while looking at its glorious beauty. Last one: you're driving and you see a car crash and flip over. What do you do? Is your first instinct to run

Or friends outside of school? Do you know how your neighbors doing? When's the last time you were at a friends house and did not use your

Persuasive Essay
"Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will
be choosing topics," announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the
prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give
examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell
the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of
anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always
thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly
dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. "What is your topic Cindy?" As usual in such desperate times,
my mind turned to food. "Waffles are better than pancakes." I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. "Hmm.
Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!" I survived to live yet another day. As I walked to lunch, I went around and asked everyone the age old
question: "Do you like

Persuasive Essay About Fear
Whether it's a full–blown phobia or something that just scares the crap out of you, we each have that one thing that makes us weak in the knees.
Maybe it's ghosts, clowns, or even spiders (really?). For me, my biggest fear is of being buried alive. No, of course this is not rational. But in my
defense, most people's deepest, darkest fears are irrational. That's part of why they scare us so much. My fear falls somewhere between a phobia and
something that keeps me up on those dark, lonely nights. My fear even has a fancy name: Taphophobia.
Before the days of modern medicine, this wasn't just an irrational fear; it was a real occurrence. The hysteria was especially rampant during the
18th and 19th centuries, when cholera was at its worst and people were dying everywhere. The number of cases of people being buried alive is
shocking. Can you imagine what it would be like if you were buried alive? Complete darkness, with no room to move. You had limited air and no
food. You would starve to death, but quite possibly go crazy first.
The fear was only made worse by Edgar Allan Poe and his horrific works of literature. He thrived off of the hysteria, writing short stories such as his
1894 horror tale, "The Premature Burial." His work perpetuated the publics panic. Being buried alive was a common theme in Poe's stories, as it's
highlighted in his books "Berenice, "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and the short tale, "The Black Cat."

Persuasive Speech About Stereotypes
Imagine you're being told you're not smart or less attractive because of your race. How would this make you feel? This is what it is like to be
stereotyped. We stereotype to make sense of the world' it's in our nature as humans even though it's wrong to judge someone before meeting them.
I'm going to tell you a story of how I was unfairly stereotyped at my high school. I was 17 years old at the time and I have a fiery competitive spirit so
I decided to join the trivia team at my high school.
When I pursue to walk into our first meeting as a team it is an awkward silence in the room. I thought to myself Christian why did you do this you, you
don't belong here and they don't want you here. The shaky cough of our brain game coach to announce the start of the meeting made me want to put
my hood on and hide. He gives the instruction to when are first match is I feel the cold stares of my soon to be teammates eyes focused on me the
whole time. As my coach was coming to a close on the details of are first match, I got up and began to proceed to the door my coach stops me and says

shorts and tennis shoes. Everyone was dress up professional like a scholar look maybe this is not for you." devastated yet a responded with a confident

Persuasive Writing
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the social media world is one all like its own. The ability to communicate to large amounts of people has become
easier through the development of these platforms and across the internet in general. The challenge is in carrying over the values and viewpoints held
in the real world. The easiest way to imagine this dilemma is envision the process of translation. Switching from one language to another is difficult by
itself. However, when you add the rest of the equation, which include emotion, vision, context, and rhetoric – it becomes an even heavier task. This is
in part what I have learned through community based writing and in particular the National Day on Writing project. The art of persuasion and rhetoric
is an ever–evolving art within the social media world.
Persuasive writing is one of the most common types of writing styles used in the world. It may contain only one or several arguments and offers
support for the main claim in order to convince the reader of the writer's opinion. The primary objective is to change the way the reader on the other
end thinks about a specific argumentation or claim. In order to obtain the sought after results, the writer needs to be aware of the audience and context
for which rhetorical approach to take. For instance, how the context of the message is written, sometimes is not perceived the same way, particularly
when the audience beliefs are on the opposite side. Therefore, by writing a specific

Persuasive Essay On Fitting In
Society today makes everyone want to fit in. The shoes, the hair, the technology, and the clothes. With J.O.C., a new popular teen clothing line, fitting
in can be easy. Here's how we do it... Everyone wants to fit in, and with our clothes, you will. We used techniques such as the Snob Appeal, the Be
Like Them Appeal, and the Stereotype appeal. Using the Snob Appeal implies that if you buy ourclothing you will become popular, and gain major
social status. In the ad, our slogan was 'because who doesn't want to gain social status'. Saying this very clearly implied you will gain social status with
our clothes. The next appeal we used was the Be Like Them Appeal, once again saying that buying our clothes will make you become like all of your
friends, and be part of the popular crowd. The next appeal we used was the stereotype appeal. That all of the people who wear this clothing are cool,
popular people. Our ad was geared to a very small demographic, Girls and Boys ages 13–17, more specifically Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers.
Most High Schoolers all want to fit in and a good way to do it is with what they wear. This line, though isn't just geared towards teenagers that want to
be popular, but teenagers that are already popular. Our clothing is also very affordable because teenagers don't have tons of money to spend on

Throughout the ad we have us modeling the clothes at a dock on the water, at a clubhouse, and at a golf course. All of these are nice, high–end,

song, it talks about upgrading yourself and other people. It basically said everything we were trying to get the audience to hear.This song went really
well with our ad because the point we were trying to get across was that with our clothing you can easily upgrade yourself, and become

How To Write A Persuasive Essay
Writing essay is one of the things that I used to dislike before. For me, writing an essay was a difficult and boring thing. However, I change my
mind when I was doing the assignment, "Persuasive Essay". This essay is my first English essay, and it was a quite challenging task for me. In this
assignment , I learned a lot. For example, to use the transition words to connect each paragraph. Also, to use other writer's words to make my idea be
more powerful. Thus, this assignment improves my writing skills a lot. Before, I didn't know that I have to use the transition words in an essay. For me,
an essay is constituted by many single paragraphs. However, everything is different when I was doing this assignment, Persuasive Essay. I noticed
that every paragraph should support theme to make an essay stronger. Also, after Ms. Weller marked this assignment, I learned that using transition
words can create a powerful link between my ideas. For example, using the word, "in addition" , can make two paragraphs connect to each other. It
also can make readers understand the logic of an essay. Therefore, I' ve learned the writing skill which can make each paragraph be connected from this
assignment....show more content...
I really enjoyed it. As I was researching, I also could read other writer's literature. I notice that using the quote or data can make the theme of an
essay be stronger and more persuasive. For example, I use the quote from Steven Crowder, the author of "TheTop 5 Reasons College May Be Waste
Of Time In 2015", to support my idea, going to college is unnecessary. The quote not only can make an essay more cogent but also can make readers
agree with writer's thinking. Thus, I've learned to use the quote to make my essay to more

Persuasive Essay On Graffiti
Since the birth of graffiti in the 1960's many people were or are either thrown in jail, have to pay a high fine in graffiti damages or are either asked
to do graffiti in many museums and art galleries because owners like the art they see and want others to see it too. Graffiti has been around for some
time now, most people and the police just see it as a form of destruction and not art they should not just see it as something that is good or evil because
these artists are expressing themselves through this art and trying to spread a message. The United States and the U.K need to accept the art and nature
or meaning behind this graffiti because it is a way for people to do good things other than rob or go to jail it is also a way for people to get their
message out and have others hear them or see them in an artistic way.
Generally most people look and take graffiti as a form of destruction and wanting to cause violence, but in the artist's mind they want to be creative
and help the people around them by making art to cheer someone up or create a sense of creativity in others. They don't do it to go to jail or
because they want to pay a fine they do it because they are open minded and creative. For instance, "A lot of attention is given to the 'broken
window' theory, which says that signs of disorder like petty vandalism, fare jumping ... and yes, graffiti, open the window to larger crimes," Verel
told The Huffington Post. "But little is paid to the ways graffiti is harnessed for good in a form that's both constructive and authentic"(Patrick Verel).
They are taking this broken windows theory too far and only saying it can cause bigger crimes. Some graffiti artists are trying to uplift the
neighborhoods and the people they live around with creative art. Also not all graffiti is bad enough to want artists to commit a crime. While making
this art or graffiti I don't think that these artist are trying to harm the buildings in any way, but they should ask for permission if they aren't allowed to
be painting on these buildings. This is to let the owner of the building know that they mean no harm to the environment or their workplace. For
example, "Adam Cooper, cultural strategy officer for the mayor of London, thinks

Persuasive Essay On Climate Change
Climate change is known as one of the greatest threats to the planet. It is not only a threat to the planet environmentally, but it is a threat socially
and economically. As we all could feel, see, and know, the weather patterns globally and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been increasing
over an extended period of time. Although it may seem like it's not a dramatic change since it is data from over a large amount of time, it is
considering the fact that the large amount of time is not that large as it should be. Climate change is nothing new to us. It's happened many years
ago in the past because a variety of reasons but as the years go on, the rate on charts are just getting higher. As much as I would like to blame this
predicament on nature, humans has a fault as well. We release thousands of greenhouse gases into the air through many procedures, but there are
things that we cannot entirely control. However, whoever's fault it is to blame I believe that if we work together and think we will more likely be
able to find effective solutions for this problem. After the industrial revolution, humans built planes, faster cars, developed exceptional technology,
and learned how to use natural resources to our benefit. However, we have increased our consumption of the natural resources and released a lot
of greenhouse gases during the process. Releasing a large quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is awful since greenhouse gases trap
heat that is radiated from the sun, which warms our planet to the point where we can feel the effects. If the temperatures of the planet rise up more
than it already has, in a few years that ice in the poles would be melted. According to the video, "Climate Change 101 with Bill Nye | National
Geographic", it states that climate change increased the temperature of the ocean by more than .3 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969. If this keeps up
many oceanic animals will be harmed like polar bears, walruses, seals, and much more. Also, the oceans will be seriously affected since the ice will
be melting into it causing the sea levels to rise about 70 meters. Billions of people rely on the ocean for many things such as protein, oxygen it
provides, how the winds and currents

Persuasive Essay On Career Choice
Figuring out the right career choice is often times difficult, confusing, and scary. Afterall, having the weight of a 200,000 thousand dollar debt on your
shoulders while working in a career field you absolutely hate would make anyone petrified during the decision process. With this kind of pressure,
determining the best–suited career choice is beyond stressful. Like any concerned high school student, I have been contemplating my major which is
determinate on the career path I chose. Dentistry has always been an interest point of mine, however, I have always contemplated whether doing four
extra years of schooling as well as going into an insane amount of debt was worth it for me. After careful consideration as well as extensive research in
areas such as education and training, debt vs pay off, and time for family, I have determined that dentistry is the right path for me.
Through my research, I have gathered essential information regarding the education and training required to achieve a degree as a general dentist as
well as the different specialties in the field. Majoring in biology during my undergrad will expose me to a variety of lab activities which will then aid
me in performing well on the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) during my junior year of college ("Dentist Schools & Careers"). The DAT is one of the
many contributing factors, such as GPA and letter of recommendations, which determine acceptance into dental school ( "Dentists."). Following my
bachelor's

Persuasive Essay On Free Education
In the world, we live in has many problems that need to be resolved but one that hits close to many students is free education. College isn't cheap
and for those who have families who fall in the "middle class" or below it may be impossible to attend college. Families wonder how they're going
to be able to afford college for their kids. Many families save for years to be able to provide their kids with the best education but what about those
who aren't able to save? Although there are federal programs that will assist with paying for college but in a lot of cases that just isn't enough. I
feel offering free education will help with the raise in college admissions which then affects our economy. Many students become discourage when
debating whether to continue their education. They become concern on how their families will be able to afford such a big expense. Then those
who take the risk and start to attend college are so concern how they will make their next tuition payment, that there aren't focus on their school
work. We all have to think about the big picture. In order to have a good paying job you need to have the education behind it. Without a college
education, the job available to you are very slim. In the economy, we live in everything is so expensive a minimal wage job can't afford to take care
of a family. College education will help student build a better work ethic. They will know the real world isn't easy and it takes hard work to be
successful. According to

Persuasive Speech On Tablets Vs Textbooks
In the United States alone over 2,300 school districts are using tablets in the classroom and growing better than ever. That's pretty interesting fact I'm a
highschool student that this subject pertains to, I want my education to be the best that it can be and I have an educated opinion that I would like to
share with you. Education is the driving factor of our future so don't you want to make sure that it's the best that it can be? If so, then we're on the
same page. The issue whether tablets or textbooks is a huge decision for us. As I speak I ask you to decide for yourself which tool you would consider.
I believe that schools should use tablets for the K–12th grade instead of textbooks because it's more beneficial to the schools and therefore better for
our future the main reason why tablets are the key to our future is that they are safer, more cost friendly, and helps improve students achievements for
education than textbooks.
Now let's talk about the first of these points: Safety, tablets are safer for children in K–12th grade for many reasons first of all textbooks cause injuries
that tablets don't. Textbooks can cause muscle strains, muscle spasms, and back pain. Also, by carrying on this heavy load it also causes pulling on the
neck muscle which plays along with headaches, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and /or neck and arm pain. According to the US Consumer Product
Safety Commission, "During the 2011–12 school year more than 13,700 kids, aged 5 to 18, were

next morning, when Jacob woke up he noticed that Spot's nose is not the same shade of pink. In fact, it is quite pale. "Mom we need to take spot to
the vet now!" screamed Jacob wistfully. "Ok, I will get Spot while you get in the car," replied Mom. When they got to their destination, Jacob sprinted
out of the car and went to the vet's office and almost immediately the vet said "Spot is going to need surgery, do you have insurance?" "No, how much
