This document summarizes a persuasive essay on the topic that waffles are better than pancakes. The essay was assigned to the student by their 7th grade English teacher. When asked to choose a topic for the essay, most popular topics had already been taken by other students. Feeling pressure to choose a topic quickly, the student suggested "Waffles are better than pancakes" as their topic. The teacher approved this lighter topic compared to more serious topics typically chosen. The student would now have a week to write a persuasive essay arguing this point and present it to the class.

Schools have been using the same learning techniques for a long time. Since technology has been
evolving, there are changes that have made schooling harder, and some changes that have made
schooling easier. For example, instead of using paper and pencil students now have iPads and their
own laptops to do their school work on. Are these more advanced changes for the better, and make
learning more convenient, or are they unfavorable and make schooling complicated and more
problematic? Most examples lead to the conclusion that laptops are more convenient. for the reason,
that they make school work easier and generate easy access to sites for research.
During the beginning of my Highschool career everybody was given an iPad; grade six to grade
twelve. However not everybody is fond of the iPads. Many students, throughout the long school
days, have come up to the library to check out a laptop because they either "lost" their iPad, or they
just don't want to use it. Many students have tried to check out laptops even when they have their
fully functioning iPads, so now whenever you want to check out a laptop you have to leave your
phone for collaboration. In almost every class teachers use the iPads, but not all teachers are fond of
the iPads either. Some teachers continue to use paper and pencil because it's more of a convenience
to them.
Laptops are more convenient for me to use because of the classes I'm currently taking. Such as my
CIS comp, CIS world history, and my

2. Capitalism Essay
By definition, Capitalism is an economic system controlled chiefly by individuals and private
companies instead of by the government. In this system, individuals and companies own and direct
most of the resources used to produce goods and services, including land and other natural resources
labor, and "capital". "Capital" includes factories and equipment and sometimes the money used in
businesses (Friedman, 5).
Capitalism stresses private economic decisions. People are free to decide how they will earn and
spend their income. Companies may choose which goods and services to produce and how much to
charge for them. They also compete with one another to sell products. Nations whose economies are
based on capitalism include the United...show more content...
But even more than that, we commemorate the birth of Americans as free men. At a single stroke,
the Declaration of Independence and its ideas set America free from England, and set Americans free
from their own government. The Founding Fathers instituted America's government to protect the
freedom of its citizens, and to secure their rights to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness."
These rights were created to secure freedom of thought and action for all Americans. Freedom of
thought is the freedom of an individual to use his mind: to educate and inform himself; to make
his own judgments; to reach his own conclusions; to set his decisions; to hold his beliefs; to
choose the whole course of his life. Freedom of action is the freedom of an individual to act on his
own judgment: to pursue his/her values; to strive for his/her goals; to work and to keep the product
of his/her work; to associate and trade with others; to act for the attainment of his/her inner
happiness.
The implementation of individual rights had revolutionary effects. The freedom and progress that
followed were unprecedented. Individuals, free from government interference, pursued their
happiness restlessly and produced tremendous amounts of wealth in the process. Individuals took
responsibility for their lives: for their education, their health care, their jobs, their

3. 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 awaffle
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
