Pursuasive Essay

Crafting a persuasive essay can be a challenging endeavor that requires a combination of critical
thinking, eloquent expression, and effective persuasion. The difficulty lies not only in presenting your
viewpoint convincingly but also in anticipating and addressing opposing arguments. It demands
meticulous research to support your claims and a deep understanding of the audience to tailor your
message appropriately.

The process begins with selecting a compelling topic, one that not only captures your interest but
also resonates with your audience. Once the topic is chosen, extensive research becomes essential.
This involves delving into various sources, ranging from scholarly articles to real-world examples, to
gather evidence that fortifies your stance. The challenge lies in distinguishing reliable information
from biased sources and synthesizing it into a coherent argument.

Structuring the essay is another hurdle to overcome. A persuasive essay typically follows a specific
format, starting with an introduction that grabs the reader's attention, followed by body paragraphs
that present arguments and evidence, and concluding with a strong summary of your main points.
Crafting a seamless flow between these sections while maintaining clarity and cohesion requires both
skill and attention to detail.

The persuasive aspect of the essay poses its own set of challenges. Balancing ethos, pathos, and logos
to appeal to the audience's emotions, credibility, and logic requires a nuanced approach. It is not
merely about expressing your opinion but also about understanding your audience's perspectives and
addressing potential objections.

Editing and revising are integral stages in the essay-writing process. Ensuring clarity, coherence, and
persuasiveness while eliminating unnecessary repetition or ambiguity can be time-consuming. It often
involves stepping back from your work to view it with a fresh perspective, which can be both
intellectually demanding and emotionally taxing.

In conclusion, writing a persuasive essay involves a multifaceted process that challenges the writer to
think critically, conduct thorough research, structure arguments effectively, and engage with the
audience persuasively. It is a task that demands time, effort, and a keen understanding of rhetorical
strategies. For those seeking assistance with similar essays or any writing challenges, resources like

Native American Dioramas
room decorated in artifacts, materials to represent the cooking or sleeping area, or even
mannequins of natives. These dioramas, however, though trying to portray accuracy
always seemed to portray the same thing, Indians and their culture frozen in time. These
displays let the visitors see how American Indians once lived and what it must have been
like. These realistic representations of villages, huts, homes of Indians may not have
contained real materials from native cultures; they contained artifacts made by non
Indians to represent the Indian lifestyle. By using replicas, this paints the displays as a
theory, thus creating another discrepancy in how native cultures were represented in the
past. With replica artifacts used, unrealistic mannequins, voice, and video recordings
depict the cultures as a scene out of a movie, frozen in time, and a fantasy. In its history,
dioramas have fallen short in representing the actual history and present life of a native
culturenor had they included a Native American opinion or assistance in creating the...

Each seemed to be missing the true value and essence of the pieces. No real significance
seems to be brought with presenting the pieces to the public, failing to show their link
and value to the Native peoples who made and used them.10 In regards to the art of the
Native American culture, in 1910 one art museum in Brooklyn presented Native
American cultures as serious art. It was the start of a different way to look at and present
objects of diverse cultures. The only issues were that in the museum, the curator, Stuart
Culin, selected one tribe to represent an entire region of North America. Objects in the
museum were organized based on their function and used very descriptive labels,
photographs, small scale models, among others means to attempt to portray the
environment
Calorimeter Lab
Introduction This lab we attempted to build a calorimeter that would capture and
transport the most heat to a beaker filled with water from a burning Baked Lays chip.
We burned the chip to transfer the energy to the water. To do this we place our
calorimeter over a stand and place the chip below. In this lab the temperatureof the water
is the dependent variable because it is dependent of the burning of the chip, while the
calorimeter is the independent variable because we can change the structure of the
calorimeter we built.

Mass Media Bias And Its Effect On The Media
Having control over an entire country s population s opinion is a powerful thing to
have. Possessing that control would allow you to direct how the population spends their
money or even who they like and dislike in politics. The mainstream media news outlets
have this control and are expected to give us information that is unbiased, fair, and not
meant to sway our opinion. The topic I will be exploring is bias in the mainstream news
media and how it effects their viewers. This is an important topic in the field of
communication because it has such a great impact on any country that uses mass mediato
disseminate information. The information can be given to the viewers with a certain
twist to intentionally shape their view of an event, or it can be unintentionally bias
just by the tone and manner they are reporting on the event. I am going to research
how mass media news outlets influence the viewers opinion, and what goes in to
picking the news stories covered. These are controversial topics to get into, but
important to consider. They can have a very big impact on things like elections for a
political office, support or dislike of a certain group, or can sway your opinion of who
is the hero in a certain story. My sources will need to show specific examples of how
the media is biased towards one opinion, what the effects are from this are, and who
makes the determines the bias that is being displayed.

Film, Spirited Away, By Miyazaki Hayao
In Miyazaki Hayao s animated film, Spirited Away, Miyazaki presents a young girl
Chihiro who visits an abandoned amusement park, only to become trapped in a
fantasy world where spirits reside. Although most of these creatures are very unique
and quite unlike the others, most of them have one thing in common: their body
features are very disproportional compared to the size of their bodies. This strange
similarity depicted by Miyazaki invokes strong feelings of fear and appreciation in
particular for the viewer. While many characters have ominous, creepy appearances
similar to that of a ghost, they still have large eyes, blob shaped bodies, and they make
little to no noise. These three characteristics emphasize the helplessness the cuteness of
these creatures. The ominous appearance of the characters does however quickly begin
to clash more obviously with their cute defining factors. In one early particular scene,
Chihiro encounters a radish spirit: a large, round creature whose body shape resembles
a radish. At first, the creature is threatening to the viewer, as it is large compared to
most characters and its appearance is foreign and bizarre. But even though the spirit
appears scary, Chihiro sticks around it briefly, and the viewer is prompted to further
observes its figure. At that point, the the rotundness of the spirit radish s figure becomes
more apparent, and the viewer is lead to see him as not just threatening anymore, but also
cute. But things that are cute are
