Advice from Dear Sugar Part 3

/in /by

read the last third of Tiny Beautiful Things by
Cheryl Strayed (a.k.a., “Dear Sugar”) https://www.bookspdf4free.com/wp-content/uploads/2…, and you should have somewhat
solidified your opinion of how reliable or trustworthy she is as an
advice columnist. For your initial post this week, select one of the
letters listed below to analyze and/or discuss:

  • The Ghost Ship That Didn’t Carry Us, pp. 241-248 *Your Invisible Inner Terrible Someone, pp. 249-252 *Waiting by the Phone, pp. 253-256 *We Are All Savages Inside, pp. 257-263 *The Lusty Broad, pp. 264-267 *The Bad Things You Did, pp. 268-273 *Bend, pp. 274-276 *The Obliterated Place, pp. 277-286 *A Bit of Sully in Your Sweet, pp. 289-298 *We Are Here to Build the House, pp. 299-303 *The Empty Bowl, pp. 304-311 *Transcend, pp. 312-316 *A Shimmering Slice of Your Mysterious Destiny, pp. 317-319 * The Ordinary Miraculous, pp. 320-323 *We Call This a Clusterfuck, pp. 324-334 * Are You My Mother?, pp. 335-337 *Ten Angry Boys, pp. 338-349 *Tiny Beautiful Things, pp. 350-353

Explain whether
or not you think that the advice Strayed gave to the letter-writer was
good advice. What did she say that was correct? Incorrect? What about
her message to the writer was appropriate or inappropriate? Did she
cover all of the concerns or issues that the writer had? What else could
she have said? What advice would you have given that would differ from
what Strayed gave? These kinds of questions could prove to be helpful in
writing your final exam impromptu/timed essay.

Remember, as always, that picking one of the very short responses
that she gave does not necessarily mean that your post will be easier to
write. Your initial post should probably be at least 5-7 sentences
long–a good, solid paragraph.

Please be sure to include the title of the letter/response in your
Initial Post so that your classmates and I will have an easier time
discerning which one you’ve chosen to discuss.

Write two separate 1pg. response papers to theese two texts Parfit, “The Unimportance of Identity” (233-237) Gowans, “The Buddha’s Message” (697-703)

/in /by

Rules for response paper (from my professor):

– MLA Format

– You don’t want to abruptly change topics from sentence to sentence. Each should flow into the next. For example, avoid something like the following: “Descartes argues that the mind and body are separate from each other. He talks about whether or not we can trust our senses or if we are dreaming. His argument that God exists is an ontological argument.” Each of these three statements has nothing to do with the previous one. In general, it’s better to pick one of these ideas and explain it in detail, and then leave the others out altogether. You don’t have to summarize every point in the readings, and in fact it’s better if you don’t.

– You should summarize the reading but also find a way to indicate your response. For example: whether you agree or disagree, ask a pointed question about the reading, relate the reading to some current event or life experience, etc.

– You should assume that your reader has not read the original text, and is also too lazy to do so. This means that they should be able to get the general idea of what the reading is about from reading your writeup. If I write “Explain,” that usually means I don’t think you did a good enough job of doing this. For example, if you just mention some technical concept in the reading like “qualia” offhand, then I’ll probably put “Explain” right there; no way most people are going to know what the hell qualia are without you trying to explain it.

Stay in present tense: Even though Plato has obviously been dead for thousands of years, the accepted form is to write about his ideas in the present tense. Don’t say, “Plato believed that the intelligible world is more real than the sensible world.” Say “Plato believes that the intelligible world is more real than the sensible world.”

Gcu Eng-106 Essay first draft

/in /by

Write a 1,500-1,750-word essay using five to seven academic resources to argue that a contested “case” involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs fits (or does not fit) within a given category. A case may include a specific news article, story, or incident illustrating a dilemma or controversy relating to the exchange of human organs. The case does not need to be a court case.

Directions

please follow these steps when composing essay:

  • Start by selecting a controversial case found in the media involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. For example, an appropriate case might include a story in the news about an organ broker, and the term to define might be “criminal.”
  • Decide what category you think your case belongs in, with the understanding that others may disagree with you about the definition of your category, and/or whether your chosen case matches your category.
  • In the opening of your essay, introduce the case you will examine and pose your definition question. Do not simply summarize here. Instead, introduce the issue and offer context.
  • To support your argument, define the boundaries of your category (criteria) by using a commonly used definition or by developing your own extended definition. Defining your boundaries simply means naming the criteria by which you will discuss your chosen case involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. If you determine, for example, that an organ broker is a criminal, what criteria constitute this? A criminal may intentionally harm others, which could be one of your criteria.
  • In the second part of your argument (the match), show how your case meets (or does not meet) your definition criteria. Perhaps by comparing or sizing up your controversial case to other cases can help you to develop your argument.

This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay on the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. It is an argumentative essay where the writer explains what a term means and uses a specific case to explore the meaning of that term in depth.
