I chose my topic from the list of topics that were posted on BlackBoard. While reading through the titles of the articles, the one that caught my attention was “From He to She in First Grade” by Laurie Frankel. After reading her article, I decided to argue about how that situation, and gender reassignment in general, is based on false beliefs that go against God's design. After being told I could not base my argument on God's word alone, I decided to use scientific evidence that followed a biblical world-view. I used Google to find various articles about doctors and transgenders that talked about how bad gender reassignment is for the body. Also through Google, I found a resolution that was submitted by a Kansas Republican Party delegate that argued the LGTBQ+ community violated the God-given dignity of every human being. After acquiring my sources, I began to write my annotated bibliography. I read each article carefully to ensure I fully understood the purpose of it, then I ...

First, I brainstormed ideas that I was interested in, and that I could write a response essay to. Next, while looking through articles about those topics, I picked the first one that grabbed my attention the most. After that, I began drafting my thesis and introduction paragraph, then finished the rough draft following the introduction paragraph’s layout. Choosing the article was the most challenging part because I am an indecisive person, so making the call on which article to use was difficult for me. I focused on a strong thesis and introduction paragraph, smooth transition sentences, and details about my opinion, the most. There is not much I would change for future assignments, but I do feel like I need to work on a stronger conclusion. I think the one in my essay was a little weak, as I just restated the introduction. The methods used in my process of writing can be useful in other areas of my life, not just academic. If I needed to communicate with my current boss, being able...

While I see where Wortham obtained the opinion that our generation likes to talk, but dislikes the forced awkwardness of phone calls, I still disagree with her. I believe that today's generation prefers texting because it removes the confrontation aspect of speaking to each other. In a text, you can overthink what you are typing and change it multiple times until you feel like you have formulated the "perfect response". Although most times, this "perfect response" doesn't accurately reflect your true personality. Wortham also mentions that text can only convey a fraction of the emotion that humans have, which is true. To truly understand someone's personality, you must hear their tone of voice, and see their hand movements, body language, and facial expressions. Through texting, you lose all those aspects of communication. If you are just asking a friend about something like homework, these aspects might not be necessary, but if you are trying to get t...
