Man being born, as has been proved, with a title to perfect freedom, and an uncontrouled [sic] enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of the law of nature, equally with any other man, or number of men in the world, hath by nature a power, not only to preserve his property, that is, his life, liberty and estate, against the injuries and attempts of other men; but to judge of, and punish the breaches of that law in others, as he is persuaded the offence deserves, even with death itself, in crimes where the heinousness of the fact, in his opinion, requires it.

In every State, a certain proportion of inhabitants are deprived of [the right to vote] by the constitution of the State, who will be included in the census by which the federal Constitution apportions the representatives. In this point of view the Southern States might retort…that the principle laid down by the convention required that no regard should be had to the policy of particular States towards their own inhabitants; and consequently, that the slaves, as inhabitants, should have been admitted into the census according to their full number, in like manner with other inhabitants, who, by the policy of other States, are not admitted to all the rights of citizens. A rigorous adherence, however, to this principle, is waived by those who would be gainers by it. All that they ask is that equal moderation be shown on the other side. Let the case of the slaves be considered, as it is in truth, a peculiar one.

please individually write about these two posts. they’re classmates posts, and you need to state your perspective and opinion on them. if u agree or not. about 200 words each.

1) One thing I noticed about the student’s use of research is that the research was very easily connected to the thesis and topic sentences. The student avoided mental gymnastics in the analysis of her research because her evidence was on topic. For example the students thesis argues that many companies that brand themselves as ethical are actually not what they preach, and then her evidence/research says “Migrant Workers Live in Hell”. The reader can infer from this that companies that claim to be ethical still have unfair labor practices. The reader does not to think much about how the thesis relates to evidence because the student on topic. Staying on topic is an important skill is at helps people comprehend your work better. One should want readers work to be able to understand the point of your essay.

2) One thing I like about the students approach to argumentation is that she uses the words of the fashion company against themselves and in favor of her argument. For example she went to the Reformation website and shows how they argue that they are ethical and environmentally friendly business. Then the student used your her/his evidence/research against these claims. The comparison between the claims of the fashion company and student’s evidence shows us that the fashion companies claim was false. This proved the students thesis that “although Reformation promotes an ethical, sustainable, and green company image, they are taking part in unethical and unsustainable practices by partnering with a foreign manufacturer that, in truth, is far from ethical or environmentally sensitive”. The dismantling of the claims fashion company helped the student build a compelling case to show that the words of the fashion companies are vague and self-virtuous because they are not set in reality. Comparison between the claims and facts is a great way to show the truth.

1. What do you notice about the student’s selection, incorporation, and/or explanation of research that relates to her topic and thesis? What does it inspire you to want to research with respect to your own topic?

I like that the student states facts and is very clear on what she states. As far as being informative for example; stating facts in the first paragraph. When she writes “Reformation recognizes that harmful chemicals are used to manufacture clothing” yet towards the end of the introduction she mentions “Although Reformation promotes an ethical, sustainable, and green company image, they are taking part in unethical and unsustainable practices by partnering with a foreign manufacturer that, in truth, is far from ethical or environmentally sensitive.” Which I agree with. It’s like selling something and lying about it and where it’s coming from. Pretty much for promotion. I hope I’m explaining myself correctly with what I’m trying to prove.

The student also backs up her argument with examples and other resources from different companies and sites.

2. What, specifically,do you notice about the student’s approach to argumentation?In other words, what do you notice about how she approaches her argument that you would like to try out in your own essay? Reference a specific moment in which she does something interesting in order to persuade her audience.

A specific moment I found interesting is towards the end of page 3 going into 4. Where it starts,

“As evidence of continued pollution, Matthews reports that the water surrounding manufacturing communities continues to be polluted with chemicals, salts, and heavy metals making farmland unusable and locals sick. This should not be happening when companies claim to be sustainable and green. Reformation promotes the idea that their viscose fabric is a natural “eco-friendly fiber,” but they have yet to consider the problems associated with its production.” And so on. In my opinion she starts of strong and gets straight to the point. Saying well this website is promoting this but at the same time it’s stating something different. It’s like having a drink that says “sugar free” and then you read he nutrition facts and says “sugars 25g”.

So I just need you to check if this is a good way to start and write an Autobiography. And also go over the grammer do some changes if you find any mistakes. I really need it to look professional.

1.Break apart at least four lines of the poem (more would be helpful). Here are some things to think about. Don’t answer the questions specifically. Just break apart the poem (see below).

a.Diction

i.What does each line mean? Ask questions if you need to.

ii.Is there imagery in the poem? Does the poem make use of metaphor or simile to give further insight into the poem’s message? Are there any important symbols in the poem?

iii.What double meanings do some of the words have? Think about how words or phrases in the poem may have both literal and figurative meanings. Paraphrase and exchange words if you need to.Are there any plays on the meaning of a word or any puns in the poem? Are any words used in such a way that their meaning is uncertain?

iv. Is any of the poem’s language ironic—does the implied meaning oppose the surface-level meaning in some way? How does this affect the overall meaning or message of the poem?

b.Tone

i.Think about how the poem’s language and the context in which it’s written create a tone—is the tone angry, sad, thoughtful, jubilant? How might this contribute to the poem’s meaning?

c.Identify the speaker and the intended audience.

i.What can you tell about the speaker based on the content of the poem? Is the speaker male or female, young or old? Is the speaker addressing anyone in particular? Be sure to make notes about how you were able to infer this from the poem.

d. Identify the specific setting of time and place.

i.Does the poem offer any information about the setting in which the poem’s action or situation is occurring? This can be concrete information or abstract information.

Part two (25 pts):

Sum up your findings into a concise, well written paragraph about the meaning of the entire poem.

Example:

Original:

In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to

Myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost.

Ah, how hard it is to say what that wood

Was, so savage and harsh and strong that the

Thought of it renews my fear!

Part 1: Broken apart and analyzed:

In the middle of the journeymiddle age/mid-life crisis of ourhumanitylifecould also be a reference to society, I came to

Myselfself-realization; awakeningin a dark wood??? does he mean a forest or depression? , for the straight way was lost way to God; sin and evil has obscured the path.

Ah, how hard it is to say what that wood

Was uncertain about how he feels, so savage and harsh and strong personification of the wood that the

Thought of it renews my fear!

Part 2: Paragraph

In this passage, it seems that the narrator, gender unknown, is going through a midlife crisis and is not happy with where he is in his life; or this could also be a reference to something which is not going well in society during the time the narrator is writing this, as he makes a reference to “our” (mankind). If this is more personal, which it leans more towards as he mentions “I came to myself”—indicating a sense of self-realization, he doesn’t really seem to know what is causing his funk/mood or how he can get out of it. Whatever feelings the narrator has are very negative as he describes the “wood” (his mood) as being “savage, harsh and strong.” It is almost as if he feels hopeless, especially when he states, “thought of it renews my fears.” However, he never mentions what this fear is, leaving the reader wondering if the narrator is afraid of the future. If he continues on the path he is going, will it be too difficult? Is he afraid of a challenge? Will the path lead to harm? If the “straight way” is a reference to heaven or God, will the path he is currently on lead him to hell? It seems that the narrator also has a difficult time coping with reality, as he doesn’t want to think about the “dark wood” he is in, as it would be too difficult for him to even think about it.

Classmate #1

There are multiple theories that talks about cognitive development. Although they are similar when it comes to involving cognitive development, they are very different. The three theories that I will be comparing and contrasting are Piaget’s, Vygotsky’s, and the new processing theory. Jean Piaget argued that a child develops due to his or her nature of being an active learner. Piaget’s theory believed that children develop through four distinct stages. Those four stages are Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational. Piaget also believed that children don’t think like adults and children construct knowledge through interaction with the environment.

The Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development was created by Lev Vygotsky. He believed that learning and development were tied to social and cultural interaction. Vygotsky’s also “believed that children construct knowledge and do not passively reproduce what is presented to them” (Davidson & Davidson, 1994). The information processing theory is a psychological theory about how we process and learn information. When it comes to Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories they both believed that children’s cognitive abilities develop in a sequence and particular abilities develop at certain stages.

In contrast, Piaget thought that learning happens after development and Vygotsky believed that it took place before development can occur. Piaget’s theory has 4 evident phases and Vygotsky’s assumed that there were none. Lastly, Vygotsky believed that development can’t be detached from social context unlike Piaget. All three theories believe that exposure to things influence our norms, what we value, and what we learn. The theory that I believe closely resembles the way I think children grow and develop cognitively would be the Vygotsky’s theory. I believe that children imitate what they see around them easily. The environment and people around us is what influence our daily lives. In order to survive we depend on the input of others which help us think, communicate, and solve problems.

Classmate #2:

Lev Vygotsky theory was concept of proximal development which is the distance between the actual development level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaborations. He believes where that students needed the assistance of teachers to move past these zones, in doing so educators would need to focus on three components. The presence of someone with knowledge and skills beyond that of the learner (a more knowledgeable other). Social interactions with a skillful tutor that allow the learner to observe and practice their skills. Scaffolding, or supportive activities provided by the educator, or more competent peer, to support the student as he or she is led through the ZPD. Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggest that children move through four stages of mental development throughout their lifetime. His theory focuses not only how children gain their knowledge but more so on understanding the nature of natural intelligence. Piaget believed that children take an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world. As kids interact with the world around them, they continually add new knowledge, build upon existing knowledge, and adapt previously held ideas to accommodate new information. From my understanding the basis of both of these theories differ completely, however both parties suggest that children need to explore the world to find out things for themselves. That social interactions in needed in the world to help find new ideas, and push children cognitive development. I believe that my personal idea is more aligned with Jean theory, that children need to be their own scientist. Meaning the need to explore the world and find out what works for them and does not work for them, they also need to find out how they will solve problem in their life, that will fight their own personality.
