Prompts

Listing is a good idea for a prompt because this list can help you evaluate issues quickly without wasting a lot of time. It also lets you think broad or narrow.
Fast writing is very useful because you can write quickly and get the thoughts down before they slip your mind and then come back to it and organize.
Visual prompts help you think outside the box kind of. look at things in different ways and this will give you ideas of arguments about the visual.
Research prompts you collects ideas and do a little research.

Basic arguement strategy

Argument for pets.http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/03-29-2007/0004555952&EDATE=
This has info on the percentage of pets in apartment dwellers. How it is hard to find an apartment that allows pets. They also argue that they have to pay an extra fee which makes sence. Some people want pets but cannot have them becauase of where they live.

On and Off-line

I feel that people think that online they can act differently and the same rules do not apply. Shy people are not shy when they are having an instant message conversation. For example. I buy all kinds of things online. I don't think it should matter that I am not taxed for that product. The Internet is a broad thing that opens the doors for a lot of bad things. It would be nice if we had a governing body that protected such things from happening. Although this would be very difficult I feel that taking the right steps we could make it happen. Over all people act differently on the Internet because they feel that no one is watching. unlike in the real world if you are around people most of us have the same values and ethics.

Thoughts

I believe that we should stop the war in Iraq.
We need to set up a government in Iraq. The people there have been under persecution for hundreds of years and need to be free. They deserve the same freedoms that we all take for granted. Our war that we started is not finished so we need to finish it and set up a democracy there.
There are many different perspectives to this very contrivesial subject. Parents whos son or daughter is fighting in Iraq have a very different perspective than the everyday American who just watches the news. Political leaders also have a different view. They know much more than we do.

Argument

An argument that stands out in my mind is when the snow melted in spring my dad wouldn't let us ride our minibikes until June because he said that the ground was to wet and we would rip up the lawn. My argument was that we wouldn't rip up the ground and it was dry for a whole month before June. I was probably like 10 when this argument happened and there after until I was like 15 when I just went out on the motocross bike anyway. I was really mad at the time because that is all I waited for all winter was to ride around and hit jumps. Right now I probably wouldn't act the exact same way, I understand now why he wouldn't let us rip up the grass. Now I would just go somewhere else and tear up some other persons grass. Because it wouldn't be worth my time to argue. I agree with Tannen, she depicts our culture just as I see it. Everyone is so sue happy these days. Frivolous law suits are filed everyday waisting time and money. The people in my culture are very argumentative especially the older people. They stood up for their rights and everything back in their day and still voice their opinions today. For such things as health care and school funding. I feel that everyone should use there voice in arguments and some people should keep their mouths shut when they don't know all the facts.

Publish My Proposal

You should publish my proposal because you will be sorry if you don't. The general audience will walk away with a better understanding of the death penalty and find that it is not economical for our society. These simple paper will change the course of our world and everyone will want to vote against the death penalty and laws will change.

Reflecting on the draft

If I were to write this over again the one thing I would do is narrow my problem a little more. I found so much information that I wanted to include in this paper. I couldn't include this information because the point I wanted to make had so many facts that I might lose the readers interest.

The most important thing I learned about a proposal so far is the problem doesn't have to be everyone's problem. Its such an open thing you can propose absolutely anything.

The most difficult part of the process for me was connecting the idea's. There were so many ideas that i had it was hard to keep them organized.

The biggest question I have about the draft is: Is written well enough to be handed in?
