Writing the Rough Draft
The purpose of this assignment is three-fold.
1. First, almost every piece of writing that you complete at the college level will involve arguing for a specific viewpoint. Even essays that simply are informative are trying to convince the reader of the validity of the information. This essay will allow you to demonstrate that you understand how to compose an effective piece of persuasive writing.
2. Second, you will be required to write many research papers as you complete your academic career. This essay allows you to demonstrate that you understand how to effectively cite the information you gather from completing the research assignments that led up to writing this essay.
3. Finally, this essay gives you the chance to discuss something you feel is important, either for your own information or for the general population, and you get a guaranteed audience.
General Guidelines for Writing the Essay & Tips for Putting it Together
· Write a 6-8 page essay that discusses your research topic. Begin with a catchy first sentence and interesting first paragraph that explains why you chose this topic and why someone should read about this topic. If you wrote a good story for your Research Proposal, that story can become the introduction for your research essay.
· The first paragraph or two should discuss the issue, problem, or topic that you researched. It should provide any background information that is necessary for the reader to understand the essay, and it should define any unfamiliar terms. Once you introduce the topic and provide background information, then you should state your thesis and the main reasons for your thesis. You will continually refer back to the thesis statement throughout the paper, AND everything in the paper will be connected to the thesis statement. This will help you keep your focus and go deep rather than broad into the information you gathered.
· After you have introduced your topic and stated the thesis, explain your first sub-claim (a sub-claim is a claim that supports the main idea or thesis). Remember this is an essay so you should have one main point that you are trying to communicate. You may have found out many, many things that you cannot include. What is the most important information? What's the best way to get that across to your readers?
· Each paragraph is also like a mini-essay. Each paragraph will have one main point or idea that you are developing. Then you will explain the main idea and give examples.
· Use transitions between paragraphs and ideas so that the essay flows.
· Be sure to introduce your quotes and paraphrased ideas. You might want to review the lesson from the Summary folder that discusses paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting. Do NOT just drop a quote into your paper without an introduction and discussion.
· Be sure to use ethos, pathos, and logos to strengthen your argument and appeal to your audience. Follow this link for a discussion of the rhetorical appeals an.

Cats are the Purrfect Companions:
Why Cats Make Better Pets than Dogs
The debate over cats versus dogs isn’t exactly a hot-button issue, but most of us probably know
someone who is either a self-proclaimed cat person or dog person. Few people would deny that cats are
more independent than dogs, while dogs tend to be more obedient. But which of these popular animals
is really better when it comes to choosing a pet? Actually, there is no contest: Cats are better than dogs
because of the noise level, the exercise requirements, and grooming habits.
When it comes to noise, cats win every time. Cat owners don’t have to worry about their guests
being accosted by loud barking—or worse, growling—every time they come over. Even if a canine
companion isn’t acting aggressively, it will often beg for attention in a frenzy of barking, whining, and
leaping at anyone who is in the room. Cats, on the other hand, are more likely to observe from afar until
they are in the mood to say hello in the form of a polite “meow.” In fact, it would be safe to say that
even the loudest cat is quieter than most any dog. Certainly, cat owners never have to worry about the
neighbors calling to say that the cat’s hissing is keeping them awake.
Aside from the potential noise level, another reason why cats make better pets than dogs is the
exercise that dogs require. Imagine this scenario: Work lasted longer than expected, it’s already late, a
thunderstorm is raging outside, but there is no getting around the fact that the dog needs to be walked.
Find the leash, bring the poop bags, and get out the umbrella all because Fido demands a walk.
Meanwhile, the cats sits patiently on the windowsill and stays dry while the dog goes out to do its
business. A quick trip to the litter box is all the cat needs, and the owner can simply scoop out the

eBook, you will discover the topics
about cat training basics,
understand your cat, know how to
administer discipline correctly,

training for biting and scratching,
litter box training and the issues
with not training your cat.
This manual will help you teach your dog the basics of obedience. The beginner level exercises will introduce fundamental control commands and give you basic control of your dog. While the approach I’ve taken in this manual will meet the needs of a wide range of pet owners and their dogs, it’s by no means the only effective one.Nor are the methods the last word in all dog-training issues.
If the techniques in this guide aren’t right for your dog’s particular training needs, ask your veterinarian to recommend a dog obedience trainer.A well-trained dog makes for a better behaved pet, a better relationship between pet and owner, and a safer city. Be patient with your pooch, and yourself. You’re both on the learning curve. Happy training!
GETTING STARTED
Before you start the training program, some preparation is needed.
First, read the Week 1 lesson plan, including the “Introduction to dog training,” and follow all the instructions. It will give you some useful background and explain some of the theory behind the training. Completing Week 1 may not take the whole week, but be sure you have read and understood this section before you start training.
There is one lesson plan per week for Weeks 2 - 8. Each builds on the skills of the previous week(s), so it’s important to complete the preceeding lesson before advancing to the next.
Spend a whole week on each lesson plan. Don’t skip ahead.
For best results, train your dog at least 30 minutes each day. Two 15-minute sessions are ideal.
Read the whole lesson plan for the week before starting. As you read, visualize what you’re trying to achieve. Try to picture what the exercises will look like – and how you’ll teach the skill. It’s very helpful to reread individual sections before starting to teach – or even go through the motions without the dog at first.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
