Scary Story?

once upon a time there was a little boy that went trick or treating on halloween.  he dressed up as an orange eagle monster.  he was so bloody that it was quite terrifying.  the little boy was going around getting candy from all the people in his neighborhood.  whenever they would open the door the little boy would say 'boo' or if it was somebody he knew he would 'what up doh?' then when he was running from house to house he would go up to the girls that were walking and pretend to be an evil ghost and clock them in the head with his shoe and try to make them scream.  if they would scream he would treat himself to a candy corn, his favorite candy.  this happened all night and he had a great time. 

happy halloween

MLK Jr.

They say: We deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham.

MLK says: It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.

They say: You were illegally protesting

MLK says: I’m here in Birmingham because injustice is here

They say: Separate but equal laws are justified in our country

MLK says: Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds

They say: Nonviolent campaigns will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly

MLK says: In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps.  Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist, negotiation, self purification, and direct action.

They say: Your activity in Birmingham is extreme

MLK says: At first I was rather disappointed that fellow clergymen would see my nonviolent efforts as those of an extremist.

Exercise 2

In the introduction to "they say/I say": the moves that matter in academic writing,Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates designed to help you but the principles of writing into practice.  Specifically, Graff and Birkenstein argue that the types of writing templates they offer will make you into a better writer.  As the authors themselves put it, "this book will make you a better writer, helping you formulate your thoughts."  Although some people believe there are better templates and Graff and Birkenstein are wrong, Graff and Birkenstein insist that these are the best and they have the best templates.  In sum, then, their view, the types of templates that the authors recommend are their own.  For instance, the templete about forming an argument is the best.  In addition, all their other templates are incredible.   Yet i would argue that there may be other great templates out there, and Graff and Birkstein might not have ALL the best templates.  Overall, then, i believe this is a great book with great arguments. 

Exercise 1

Smoking should be illegal.  Smoking anything is disgousting and it should not be allowed.  THEY SEE smokers that are happy and having a good time. HOWEVER, these people are killing themselves.  most of the people are leading terrible lives because they got into smoking in high school, causing them to not get good grades, not leting them go to college, then not getting a good education/job. ON THE CONTRARY they say smoking is a good stress reliever. FOR THE TRUTH is while these people may think theyre relieving stress, theyre KILLING THEMSELVES.   IN THIS ESSAY, THEN, comparing smokers bodies and life styles to those of nonsmokers it will prove why smoking should be illegal.
