Consider the following passage from Reading in the Brain by
Stanislas Dehaene:
“Although we now know that reading acquisition systematically
converges onto the same region of the cortex, the reason for this
precise localization is still shrouded in mystery.”
Which of the following passages from a student paper is NOT
patchwritten by the student?
Though the experts know that reading acquisition converges in
an orderly manner on the same area of the cortex, it is
mysterious why this localization takes place (Dehaene 164).
Cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene points out that
though we know from neuroimaging the exact location in the
brain where letters, words, and sentences are comprehended, we
still don’t know why it happens there (164).
20. Cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene writes that although
we know that reading converges in the brain in the cortex, the
reason for this is still enveloped in mystery (164).
It is not yet clear why reading acquisition systematically
consolidates onto one region in the brain—specifically, the
cortex (Dehaene 164).

Relationship Violence
I find it intriguing to get a lady who is just a freshman with a
black eye or even depressed individuals isolating themselves
due to the fear of disappointing the individuals they are dating.
This is not funny. It is not only affecting the ladies but also the
young men. We are living in a diverse world. It is very common
nowadays to find various types of relationships in terms of
sexual orientation. Anyway, the issue here is violence towards
one’s spouse. I remember, my first experience as a freshman, all
I wanted was acceptance and I think that’s what each freshman
wants. This causes most of us to subject into relationships just
to feel important and needed. This issue is mostly under the
radar since the victims are silent and do not want to destroy
their relationships because they ‘love’ them. Relationship
violence has become an issue and I think that it’s important for
the administration and the guidance and counseling department
of universities to have a look at the issue.
The most common type of relationship violence in our college is
physical abuse. This mostly happen to the ladies who hide the
afflictions with lots and lots of make-up. A good example is a
lady who is dating one of the popular guys in college. Because
she wants to be accepted, identified and ‘noticed’ in college,
she agrees to be in a relationship with this guy. When the guy
becomes physically abuse to an extent of even raping her, the
lady just remains quiet because of the pressures of wanting to
belong somewhere; ‘having a title. Some are even expected to
do their boyfriends’ school work with the fear of being hurt.
This type of violence does not necessarily involve physical
abuse. Some individuals are misused in terms of money whereby
they are expected to accommodate the needs of their spouses in
addition to their needs just because they are in a relationship.
26. Helping out if one is in need is not wrong. The point is, we are
all students and some of us work to maintain ourselves in
school. Therefore, when a student like that is expected to
maintain another student just because they are dating, then it
becomes an issue that needs intervention.
Another form of relationship violence is emotional violence.
Some students find it difficult to express their sexual
orientation especially the homosexuals as a result of acceptance.
A good example is, let us assume that the football team captain
is a homosexual and hence, because of his status, he hides it by
looking for a girlfriend to hide his identity. The lady, in this
case, becomes subject to emotional torture since she is being
used in a relationship that is not justified. Another type of
emotional violence is being in a relationship with a ‘player’.
Because of his or her popularity in school, a student finds it
difficult getting out of their relationship since he or she does
not want to break the ‘player’s feelings. Moreover, some people
date just to revenge on others after being heart broken. The
third wheel in this case is subject to emotional violence since
their feelings are being toyed by being used as a weapon to get
back at someone else. Some of us are still subject to racial
discrimination. We are a diverse community and everyone is
free to express his or her views depending on how they feel
towards a particular issue. Some students are subject to racial
bias among their peers and hence when they find themselves in
a relationship that gives them some form of acceptance, they
remain in it despite f it involving violence.
Most of the relationships violence are caused by exaggerated
jealousy, self-esteem issues, drugs and substance abuse,
extreme anger, being overly possessive, mood swings that are
unpredictable, a bad relationship history, threats to commit
suicide or subject oneself to harm when being left, finding the
pleasure of humiliating an individual in front of others, verbal
abuse, ignoring an individual’s feelings, the need to find
acceptance, blaming one’s spouse for the occurrence of a
particular behavior, family background, and also, negative
27. attitude towards a particular race
Relationship violence has a lot of effects to the victims that
include body harm when subjected to physical abuse, depression
as a result of emotional torture, fear of interacting with others
as result of fearing one’s partner, poor academic performance as
a result of insecurities, low self-esteem as a result of verbal
abuse, lack of a stable relationship with other peers especially
when one’s spouse is possessive and also, future problems when
it comes to developing relationships in future as a result of
uncertainty.
Therefore, it is important that as students to be each other’s
keeper and report any form of abuse that our peers might be
subjected to. It affects us in a way and hence it is important to
try our level best to assist our friends in ways that we can; even
when it means reporting to the authorities.
Opinion Editorial Prewriting
All the prewriting assignment should follow the opinion
editorial essay(in the file).
First Prewriting(one page): check the file(Opinion Editorial
essay)
Prewriting Assignment: Opinion Editorial Portfolio
As you read opinion editorials and letters to the editor, make a
list of topics that interest you. What do you care passionately
about? Are there arguments with which you disagree? Are there
issues on which you’d like to voice your opinion? Also, begin
to think about your audience. Make a list of characteristics or
traits that will help you understand your audience better. Given
that you haven’t decided on a topic at this point, you can think
about your audience in the widest possible terms. It might make
sense to think of your audience as composed of generally
intelligent people who are familiar with the rhetorical situation
you choose to address.
Second Prewriting(one page):
28. You’ve actually already started prewriting for the Opinion
Editorial by reading op-eds and letters to the editor in the
Universe and other newspapers, making a list of potential topics
and audience traits. Now, let’s brainstorm a bit. Let’s start by
making a list of campus issues that may be of interest to you
and your audience. This list might include curfews, dress and
grooming standards, general education requirements, and so
forth. Write down any and everything that comes to mind. Now
make a list of local issues. What’s going on in the surrounding
community? In the state? What issues are in the news? Now
consider regional or national issues, and then global issues. You
might look at headlines on CNN.com or in the New York Times
and other papers. While you are writing for readers of the
campus newspaper, keep in mind that your readers are
(hopefully) interested in a range of issues, from campus to
global issues, so consider all the possibilities.
After you’ve got a good list, choose one or two that strike you
as most interesting, and freewrite for ten minutes. The only rule
with freewriting is that you don’t stop writing. Just write
whatever comes to mind as you think about the topic.
Experiment with these and other prewriting strategies until you
come up with a topic you want to write about.
Third prewriting(one page):
Hopefully, you’ve identified an issue you want write about in
your Opinion Editorial. On a sheet of paper, state your main
claim. It may only be tentative at this point. Then list your
reasons and assumptions. This is a brainstorming activity, so
list as many as you can, even though you probably won’t use all
the claims and reasons you come up with. Remember that a
reason can also be a claim requiring its own reasons to
substantiate it. You may also want to list counterclaims to your
argument. How might your audience respond to your position?
29. As Grant Boswell discusses in chapter 2, you need to anticipate
and respond to counterarguments in your Opinion Editorial.
Fourthly Prewriting(one page)
Consider the appeals you might use in your Opinion Editorial.
How will you establish your ethos? What types of emotional
appeals might be appropriate to your audience and purpose?
How will you establish a logical line of argument? What data,
facts, and so forth can you bring to bear on your argument? List
these in a document.
Fifth Assignment: [a one-page (single-spaced)]
a one-page (single-spaced) reflective memo on the writing
process that describes the challenges you found in writing your
paper, your paper’s strengths and weaknesses, and what you
learned about writing and how it will help you in the future
