Comments by Madison Asbury Most recent public comments by Madison Asbury https://nowcomment.com/users/23420 I agree. The author could have given more evidence. The author didn't give too much information on the other side of his/her argument, and a good argumentative essay gives counterexamples and addresses the other point of view. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595075 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 11:31:11 -0400 In my opinion the title "Vacation" could be a story about a family vacation, the essay it is now, or an advertisement for something related to vacations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595070 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 11:28:57 -0400 I think it meant that a person in the senate serves a term that is six years long while the Representatives serve a term that is two years long. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595069 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 11:23:22 -0400 I don't know I guess I've just always put similarities first. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595068 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=595068 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 11:18:56 -0400 Two notices and two wonders for each essay https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=591589 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61998?scroll_to=591589 1. Two notices about the first essay a. my highlights show very clear introduction sentences to the similarity and difference paragraphs of the block style essay. b. purpose of essay is to teach about similarities an differences between the Senate and the House of Representatives 2. two wonders about first essay a. Why is only one-third of the Senate up for re-election? b. Why does this benefit all Americans? 3. two notices for second essay a. the font of the last paragraph is different from the other paragraphs b. there is one main point that the author keeps repeating - in my opinion there should be several strong points that can be reworded in the last paragraph instead of just two 4. two wonders on second essay a. What are the dangers involved with tent-camping? b. Why do reservations give you peace of mind? Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:06:20 -0400 This is a rhetorical device the author uses since it shows that even though the kids didn't have a lot of money they made their own culture in a way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577113 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577113 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:32:49 -0400 This supports the claim since it shows that the style of dance and music was created by kids who were trying to get along together when they all had very different backgrounds. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577111 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:29:54 -0400 This is the claim since it says that they didn't know that people would continue using their style for years. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577110 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=577110 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:26:54 -0400 I will explain one type of plagiarism and then explain two ways to avoid it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/57211?scroll_to=550410 https://nowcomment.com/documents/57211?scroll_to=550410 Direct plagiarism is using the exact words of someone else. A very common example of this is cutting and pasting phrases, sentences, or paragraphs from an online source such as Wikipedia or History.org. Plagiarism can be avoided by refraining from taking notes in complete sentences. If complete sentences are used then it is extremely easy to accidentally use the sources words. Another way to abstain from plagiarizing is reading a source, doing another activity for five to ten minutes, and then recording notes. This allows the brain to summarize and prioritize the information, making it easier to note only the important information. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 17:40:03 -0400
