1) Buist & King response (week 2) – based on Steve Buist’s “Do the Media Fall Down…” article & ML King’s “The Purpose of Education”.

Analyse the ways history and memory generate compelling and unexpected insights. In your response, make detailed reference to your prescribed text and at least ONE other related text of your own choosing. History and memory are both multifaceted ideas that are challenged continually. History is often perceived as fact, in the recount of an event or retelling of a story that did in fact, take place.

It’s basically an argument that uses poor reasoning. Most people don’t realize that there are fallacies in their arguments. Knowing is half the battle! In the lesson this week, you will learn a variety of fallacies and their definitions.

Body paragraphs may lack development or internal coherence. They are clearly related to each other but may not build off of each other in any meaningful way. 9 | Argument proceeds along a path of development that is mostly clear and logical with serviceable transitions and minimal digressions. Introductory and concluding paragraphs are on-task but might do more to frame the discussion. Body paragraphs are internally coherent but might be developed more fully or build off of each other in more meaningful ways.
Do you know the value of historical diary entries? If you do not know the answer to this question you will soon know now. I believe a lot can be learned from a diary. I will also provide an answer to the question whether slaves were active or passive in their response to slavery in three different entries.

You won’t possibly believe in something that you know is false, right? The way they lay offer the information with the evidence makes it very believable, so it is possible that they’re correct. Basically, unless the fact is proven false, then there’s always a possibility that it might be

I feel that the sources used are important and they contribute to the greater message that the writers are trying to get across.

For a narrative essay, you may not be asked to write argument-driven topic sentences, so the thesis statement for a narrative essay may differ from one you would write for other paper types. Rather than stating a specific claim, the thesis statement in a narrative essay may instead give a minimal amount of information to intrigue the reader and it may simply be descriptive in nature (Connell, 2013). The thesis statement in "Homeless", by Anna Quindlan; sets the precedent for the story she is about to tell.
