Discursive Essay Writing

Crafting a discursive essay can be a challenging endeavor, demanding a keen understanding of the
chosen subject and the ability to present well-balanced arguments coherently. The intricacy lies in the
dual nature of a discursive essay, where the writer is tasked with exploring multiple perspectives on a
given topic. This requires a comprehensive grasp of various viewpoints, critical thinking skills, and
the capacity to articulate ideas effectively.

The challenge intensifies as one navigates the intricate balance between presenting a persuasive
argument and acknowledging opposing viewpoints. This genre of essay writing demands a nuanced
approach, necessitating the writer to delve into the complexities of the subject matter, analyze
different angles, and then synthesize a compelling narrative.

Moreover, maintaining clarity and logical progression throughout the essay poses an additional
hurdle. The writer must carefully structure their thoughts, ensuring a smooth transition between
paragraphs and ideas. Juggling these elements requires meticulous planning, ample research, and a
firm command over language to prevent the essay from becoming disjointed or convoluted.

Overcoming the difficulty of discursive essay writing also entails honing one's critical analysis skills.
It's not merely about presenting contrasting opinions but dissecting them with depth and precision.
This requires a profound understanding of the nuances within each perspective and the ability to
articulate these nuances convincingly.

In conclusion, tackling a discursive essay is no small feat. It necessitates a combination of research,


critical thinking, and adept writing skills. However, with dedication and practice, one can develop
the expertise to navigate the intricacies of this essay genre.

The Cave Poetic Devices
The first poetic device present in Mumford and Sons The Cave is imagery. Within the
first two lines of the song, detailed descriptions of the isolation and anger that the song
portrays are felt. The band states It s empty in the valley of your heart / The sun, it
rises slowly as you walk (Mumford and Sons, 1 2). This description of the heart being
an empty valley demonstrates imagery as it allows the audience to understand the pain
and anger the person in the song feels, as they have been isolated for so long. The
second line describing the sunbrings forth an image of the wisdom and enlightenment that
appears as the person becomes acclimated to the outside world. The image of the sun
rising slowly allows the audience to picture the person slowly gaining knowledge... Show

Again, in the second line, there is a metaphor along with the imagery present. The line
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk is a metaphor for the enlightenment of the person
in the song as they come to know a new and vast reality. Similar to the way the sun
rises slowly, a person who has known nothing but a cave for their entire life gains
knowledge and becomes enlightened slowly. As this person continues through life, or
walks, as the line in the song states, they gain more knowledge, just as the sun rises.
Another metaphor in the song is See the world hanging upside down (30). While the
world is not literally hanging upside down, this is a metaphor for the change and
destruction the person will face upon leaving an isolated reality. It will seem as if the
world is flipped upside down because everything the person knows will seem to be
backwards. Instead of there being solely shadows on the wall, the world will be
completely different and full of light, which is why this metaphor is relevant. Mumford
and Sons uses metaphors to compare the changes and enlightenment the person will face
upon entering the outside world from their
Curriculum For Excellence Essay
The Curriculum for Excellence describes eight curricular areas, three of which assign a
responsibility to all teachers regardless of sector; namely Literacy, Numeracy, and Health
and Wellbeing (HWB). Whereas some form of instruction in reading, writing and
arithmetic has always been a feature of formal education, Health and Wellbeing is a
relatively new addition to the schoolcurriculum, both in Scotland and globally .
In Scotland, a review of the Children s Hearings System in 2004 led to the formation of
Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) in order to improve outcomes for vulnerable
children. At about the same time in the rest of the UK a similar initiative, Every Child
Matters, was conceived in part following the tragic death of ... Show more content on

The closest that the CfE documentation comes to a definition is Learning through health
and wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking and positive attitudes and
dispositions. Because of this, it is the responsibility of every teacher to contribute to
learning and development in this area. but this statement does not explain what
wellbeing is, only what the requirement should be. John White (2011) explores this
meaning of wellbeing in the context of education and summarises that A flourishing
life is one filled with successful and whole hearted engagement in worthwhile
activities and relationships (p.113). He notes that School..... is a natural extension of
(such a) home (p.125) where teachers build upon foundations laid by parents so that
the child is immersed in activities and experiences and develops a range of skills and
personal dispositions to provide a fulfilling life in the present as well as for the future.
As John White (2011) notes, Teachers and parents need to have well grounded
confidence in their judgements about worthwhileness and to pass this on to their
children/pupils. p130. The extent to which teachers are coloured by their own biases and
life experiences are ready to
