Good question. Historically, the dangers of DHMO, for the most part, have been considered minor and manageable.
The fact that the author includes this headline in the article proves that this may be a not-legitimate resource and that the topic being argued is not real.
Although his results are preliminary,
This is another perfect example of the author using a counterargument against his bias. He knows there is no legitimate information to support his claims so he is using test results that are not legitimate but making excuses for it so he can get away with using that information.
Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance
The Centers for Disease Control is one of the most reliable resources you can find, so any idea that goes against their information should probably be considered carefully by the reader.
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid.
I believe this is false information to begin with, and if you look any of these up on a reliable resource, you will find that this evidence is not factual.
At first glance, these writings have the trappings of scholarly work. Until you start to read carefully and evaluate the claims being made (which are largely nonsense).
This is why it is so important to read everything critically. If it weren't for critical reading, there are a lot of not-legitimate websites and articles out there that provide misleading information to their readers.
Try to understand and then describe what someone claims; Determine the merit of those claims by applying criteria; and Rationally justify their criteria (explain their reasoning process).
This is a good explanation of what it takes to be a critical thinker. This is showing how to go through a critical thinking process where you first understand the author's claims, then you determine whether the claims are reasonable or not, then you describe why their reasoning is valid.
One of the main purposes of a good education is to learn to think critically. Critical thinking leads to one of the highest forms of human knowing.
Thinking critically is a good way of finding bias and false claims. It is also a good way to avoid plagiarism because if you have a deep understanding of the topic, you will be able to form your own description of the topic based on your understanding.
Transitions
I forgot about using transitions...this is very important to make you paragraphs flow correctly.
Topic Sentences
Does there always have to be a topic sentence? Or can it be implied like we learned about in previous lessons?
Strict gun control laws won't affect crime rate
I think it's interesting to use opposing views...should you do lots of research on this as well?
Background Information
Background information is very important, and I need to find a lot of information by doing lots of research before I can create a successful argument.
Sample Argumentative Thesis
I think using an argumentative thesis is a great way to start an argument...but it's hard to make my topic an argument. I'll have to think about ways to do this.
.
Not a very detailed study, but it shows how aptitude tests and what students are most confident in and enjoy the most tends to drive them towards a career in that area of focus, whether it be math related or science related, or related to any other subject that they are most confident in.
Make A Plan
Finally, you must plan out what you want to do and follow the steps necessary to execute your game plan for that career.
Researching Careers
It is important to research careers thoroughly before deciding on one, because some careers may not be what you think they are and may not fit your expectations.
Discover Yourself
The most important part about choosing a career is knowing yourself and what you want to do...be true to yourself.
Although you may think you are too young to worry about your future career, it is important that you start thinking about your life after high school right now so that you can take the steps necessary to in any career you may choose.
Although you don't need to choose your career that early, you may want to think about what you want to do when you're young so you can focus on the right classes.
Majors and Graduate School
You don't necessarily have to take the classes of what you're going to major in as long as you fulfill the course requirements of the graduate program you want to enter.
You Can Change Your Mind
Another important point: you can change your mind.
When to Choose a Major
This is important. It claims you usually don't have to make choices on your major until end of sophomore years. Some majors are exceptions where you must commit to the study early.
This conversation reminded me of nearly every client I work with and every person I talk with about designing their ideal life.
Did my mom always have a plan regarding designing her ideal life? Did she follow that plan? Is there anything she would've changed?
“But isn’t that unrealistic?”
Were there any goals that people told her were unrealistic and that she couldn't achieve?
“What did you spend your time doing?” I asked.
Very good question regarding what she did a lot that led up to deciding what she liked and wanted to do in life.
There’s often a gap between identifying what you naturally gravitate toward and gain energy from and how that translates into your full-time work.
What exactly did my mom gravitate toward and how did this translate into her job?
And the first step to any achievement is to find the courage to take a risk, do what you love, and commit to your goal.
Did my mom commit to her original goal? Did she have to find a new one? Did she do what she loved?
But I was also reminded that, sometimes, the risks we don’t take are the ones we will regret.
This brings up another good point...did my mom regret any chances she did not take?
This made me think: These fears are normal for anyone contemplating a major career or life change , and they are certainly valid.
I may want to ask what fears my mother felt when transitioning a major life change such as going to college and starting her career.
But she quickly stopped me, reminding me where she was living, that she had a young daughter, and that she didn’t have an art degree. She worried about the future and felt overwhelmed by her current circumstances.
This could be a good question to add to my interview..."Did you ever feel overwhelmed when trying to reach your goals?"
Tyler recalls childhood teasing, and Melva the loss of a dear friend to AIDS.
Again, like most of these interviews, the two seem very connected and engaged with one another. Even though the boy is only 12, he does a good job of being attentive to the questions his mother is asking him and giving detailed responses.
Melva Hightower and her young nephew Tyler Hightower exchange stories of strength and struggle across a generational divide.
The interview starts off with a basic, broad question that allows the interviewee to say as much as he wants about events that have happened and taught him something in his life.
t was Brooklyn in the late 1950s.
The interview starts off with a scene and a simple statement that the man would take no notice of his future wife, then the conversation/interview flowed from there.
This love story started with a song.
There is a feeling of love between the two doing the interview. They are always attentive to one another and they engage in the conversation. They never get unfocused, they are always focused on each other and making natural, (not forced,) eye contact with one another.
When they met, Ed was still suffering from the loss of his only son, Mandel Roy, who had also been murdered.
Mary and Ed always seem engaged with the conversation. It always flowed well and they seem to enjoy listening to each other. There is never a moment where they don't respond or seem interested in what the other person is saying.
Substituting pronouns for keywords:
I think that the use of pronouns tends to be overlooked by authors of short essays and instead they repeat keywords a lot. This makes all the sentences run together and sound the same because of the repeated use of one word.
Repeating a keyword from a preceding sentence or an earlier sentence is one of the most common ways to connect your sentences to old information.
I find it very helpful when authors repeat keywords, and this is something that I will try to include in my essay as well.
When a writer does not begin a sentence with OLD information, the reader has to hold the NEW material in suspension until they have figured out how it connects to what has been mentioned before
I find this extremely hard to understand new information when I don't know what background information I have to connect to it.
Eliminate unnecessary prepositional phrases
I use prepositional phrases a lot as well, but when I go back to edit my writing I realize that a lot of times they aren't necessary and make the author sound like they're babbling of a bunch of words that don't mean anything.
6. Unless your readers are familiar with your terminology, avoid writing stringsof nouns (or noun strings!).
I think that noun strings can be difficult to understand, but in some cases they are necessary.
Put the action of the sentence in the verb. Don't bury it in a noun or blur it acrossthe entire sentence.
I think this is very important because you want your readers to sort of feel the impact of the verb rather than have it appear to have less importance than the nouns and other words surrounding it.
Check the focus of the paper: Is it appropriate to the assignment?
This is definitely a good point that is brought up here and something I tend to struggle with. A lot of times I tend to search for ways to elaborate on my writing, but this causes me to get way off topic. Sometimes keeping it simpler is better because it helps you avoid going off onto a topic that doesn't matter and is irrelevant to the assignment.
if it’s really worth saying, if it says what you wanted to say, and if a reader will understand what you’re saying.
This is extremely important. A lot of times I will go back and read my work and I'll realize that my readers will not understand what I am saying because I tend to go on a rant with a bunch of words that don't make sense because I am trying to get all the information in my head out of my system before I lose my train of thought.
Nope. That’s called proofreading.
I never realized the difference between revising and proofreading until reading this, so this is very handy information to understand.
Revision literally means to “see again,”
I think this is a very important idea because it explains why you should give your writing a little bit of time before looking to revise it. You need to see it in a different light, completely fresh-minded and reading you own essay as if it were someone else's.
“It’s about a tiny wee thing that’s so small and so alive – and so subversive.”
This line made me think about when the man was talking about the mouse "thieving" and how it has to do that to stay alive.
Readers miss “the sadness and despair contained within the lines of this poem,”
I definitely missed the sadness of the poem when I first read through the Old English poem.
the dialect causes it to be read as though in a foreign language.”
When I read the translation to modern-day English, it helped me understand the poem in a deeper way than I would've if I just read it in Old English.
She deals with it pretty well.
No explanation of how she deals with it?
but the styles still work together really well.
I think this is more of an opinion, but the narrator put it as a fact.
This dish is incredibly easy
I think it is nice that the writer includes easier dishes as well.
In fact, any idiot with £80 in the bank can do it.
Is this a false claim just to make readers who don't read the explanation think that they can do it?
Distributors hate him! Learn these 10 weird tricks to self-releasing a film in the UK.
I find this title very interesting because I think that it is just trying to attract readers, but I don't know if it's 100% accurate yet.
I’m on here every single day
Writing every single day is a good way to expand your horizons as far as writing and communicating with others online.
My blog doesn’t have a theme and I post whatever I feel like.
I think that posting whatever you feel like and not keeping a them is a good way of expressing yourself.
