Explanation:

Jocks vs. nerds, brawn vs. brain, hunks vs. dweebs; America has a conflicted relationship with the smart, studious, or anyone who has not taken the hunter-gatherer macho path. As David Anderegg notes in Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them, there’s a divide in our culture between “Men of Action” and “Men of Reflection.” Superman embodies the polar extremes. Clark Kent represents the private, introverted, nerdy side, but it’s the public, muscle-bound he-man from Krypton that our culture celebrates. Our society purportedly encourages high achievement in math and science. But it also crucifies brains for being smart. Yes, we do want our kids to do well in school – just as long as the passions they relish, the knowledge they acquire, and the pursuits they master have relevance to the real world. In other words, being an astrophysicist better make them a bunch of money. Too smart, you’re declared a freak, thus ostracized, and picked last for the kickball team at recess. It’s a mixed message.

This passage emphasizes what about America’s treatment of “smart” people?

A) Being “smart” is important, as long as a person is not too “smart.”

B) They are seen as useful and necessary contributors to society.

C) America treats them like outcasts.

D) Most people would prefer athletic individuals.

13. Why do you think this was the case for poets who are now two of the most widely read in all of
American literature?

The Goose with the Golden Eggs
One day a monkey went to the nest of his Goose and found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But, on second thought, he took it home and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing.

The aim of opinion writing, or persuasive writing, is to have your reader agree with your opinion/ point of view by the time they finish reading your work. This is a chance to use your persuasive skills, and your writing expertise to convince them that your stance on a particular issue or topic is the right one. This can be anything from your favourite ice cream flavour (mint chocolate chip!) to the political party you support.

There are 3 main ways to frame your written arguments (or reasons) that will change your readers mind:

1. Logic: using reason or common sense is one way of helping to prove why your stance on a particular issue is the right one. For example, if I wanted to persuade you that mint chocolate chip was the best ice cream flavour (it definitely is), I might say that when you eat it, you feel refreshed, which is the exact feeling you want on a hot summer day. The logic of wanting to feel refreshed on a hot summer day is the logical argument I used to make my point.

2. Emotion: pulling at the heartstrings of your audience, or "hitting them in the feels" as the kids say, is another very effective way to persuade someone to agree with you. As an example, think of the ads that you see on TV for the SPCA, or to donate money to a cause from a developing country. Showing the sad faces of pets and children make the audience feel emotional; upset and guilty, so we pick up the phone to donate.

3. Expertise: being able to speak with authority/expertise on a specific topic, is the final way to form an argument. If you are someone who does a lot of gaming, and you are trying to tell me which video game is the best in terms of quality and overall experience, I would be inclined to believe you since you know a lot about the gaming community and would be able to give accurate information.

Now that we know more about the specific ways you can argue/persuade/defend your opinion on any given topic, let's try out our new skill!

Below are some questions where I will ask you to pick ONE of two things. Your task is to tell me which one is better, and WHY. For example, use persuasive writing to tell me why Coke is better than Pepsi. Once you have done this, reread your writing and tell me if your argument was one of logic, emotion, or expertise.

Example: Hot OR Cold? Cold is always better than hot. In cold weather, you can bundle up in cute, cozy clothes, and snuggle with your pets to keep warm. In hot weather, I feel yucky and grumpy. Here, I used emotional arguments.

*Your answers will be more detailed, but I included the above just so you have an idea of what I am asking for.

*Written responses should be a paragraph EACH.

1. McDonald's OR Wendy's ?

2. Coke OR Pepsi?

3. R&B Music OR Rap Music?

4. Beach OR Cottage?

5. Pie OR Cake?

6. Chocolate OR Vanilla?

7. Bike OR Skateboard?

8. Mortal Kombat OR Call of Duty?

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech. As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner, "This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality." Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom. How does repetition create meaning in this excerpt? The repetition emphasizes information about communism. The repetition emphasizes the principles of freedom. The repetition gives context to Reagan's beliefs. The repetition gives context to Reagan's goals in Europe.

Our school is considering mandating school uniforms next year. The student government supports school uniforms for a number of reasons. First, school uniforms save time. Students will not have to figure out what they will wear and thus will have more time to devote to their studies. They will be more focused on learning and less on appearance. Second, although there are up-front costs, uniforms will ultimately save families money. Finally, uniforms will promote a sense of equality because students are dressed the same regardless of economic status. This will encourage a greater sense of community at our school.
