Beauty of the Argument

I never really enjoy writing a papper, but during this paper I enjoyed reading the articles online and the arguments that people have on why guns should not be taken away. Also i enjoyed reading people who are for gun control because they think it would make the U.S. a safer place but statistics show that owning a gun prevents criminals from attacking more. What i did not like when writing this paper was citing the sources and also writing a paper thats 6 pages long.

Arguments

What I want to know is what kind of sources give the best infromation and are the most reliable source. Should I be looking in a book, on the internet, in encyclopedia's, newspapper articles, or state information and arguments in the government. Which source can I rely on most to get me correct information.

Audience

My argument is why there should not be gun control. My audience are the animal activists that think guns should be taken away so we don't kill animals. I am a 18 year old from South Dakota. South Dakota revolves around hunting. Just this weekend my family, friends, and people from out of state, walked field after filed with guns. together we killed over 100 pheasents. Guns should not be controlled. First of all its our right to bear arms and secondly we use our guns for a recreational purpose. Without hunting, many animals would become overpopulated. If we couldn't hunt deer, there would be more traffic accidents. If we couldn't hunt pheasents the population would grow, causing more crops to be eaten, causing less money for farmers and possibly a food shortage if it gets to out of hand. Yes guns can be used for bad things like murder, but if you take guns away those people will still find a way to get a gun anyway. Through my eyes guns are not a bad thing so it should not be taken from us.

Last Argument

Last argument I was involved with was over a game. We were playing bean bags and I guess someone called a game in the future and left. I not knowing this, said I was also going to play this game. So I sat and watched two games and it was my turn to play the winner of this game. The kid who called for this game earlier comes in from the other room and thinks he is up. I went up to him and told him I was waiting for fifteen minutes, watching for this game. He was all mad and responded with but I called it before you. We resolved the situation with a little game of Rock,Paper,Scissors, to come to a conclusion.

Bandwagon Fallacy

I notice the Bandwagon Fallacy the most especially around sports. If a team Emerges out of no where and is good, Fans say that they like that team. Around School a new kid could come to class and someone hangs out with him and says there cool, everyone wants to hang out with the new kid.

Essay Experience

Writing this paper was a great reminder of all the memories that were made while i was playing soccer. The best part of this writing was looking back to the championship game of my sophomore year. It was a wild game tied at two and we lost in the final minutes of the second overtime. The worst part of writing this essay is that I no longer participate on a soccer team. This story is a final story that can not be added to through college.

Culture Clash

At the age of 5, I moved to Mitchell. I was in Kindergarden at the time and didn't know anybody in the school. My teacher introduced me to the class and I made a bunch of new friends. This also was the first time that I remember meeting somebody of a different culture. The kids name was Kyle, his family adopted him from Korea. It was so wierd, seeing he had different skin color, and his face had squinty eyes, but I didn't know any difference. To me he was a new friends at my school who I played with at recess and went to his house to play.

Life Changing Experience

Joining Soccer is something that has changed my life and taught me many things. I joined soccer when i was in First Grade. Right away soccer helped me meet new kids, that I became friends with. Through the years, me and the friends I made in first grade, had gained lots of talent and became close. At only eight years old I was playing on a traveling U-12 team. At this point I was tought competiton, before i was playing cause it was fun, and now I had something to play for. As I got older the team got better, with most of our tallent in the grade above me. We played together and won several tournaments but then Middle School came, and soccer became a school sport. I did not play soccer my 7th and 8th grade year, but in 9th grade I rejoined. The same kids that i played with before are all the same kids that have made the team and we were back together. My freshman year i made the Varsity Team that went to the State Tournament. Even though i did not get to play i learned a lot form my older teammates. Sophmore year then I was bigger and better, i was on the varsity team again but was not a starter untill halfway through the season, we made it two the championship game that year but were beat by Sioux Falls Christian. My junior year I was a starter, and this was our most tallented team yet. We did not lose a game all year and were the number one team. In the State Tournament Bad weather caught us and we lost our semi-final game by one point to Sioux Falls Christian again. In the next game I learned my first bit of leadership. A senior captain was down after loosing the previous game and coach took him out cause he showed no effort. I played my heart out this game and the coach noticed even though a series of bad calls lost the game for us.

Earliest Memory

My erliest memory is from when i was only one. Ok here the details, My moms family went to Disney world, her 3 brothers, sister, parents, and me at the age of 1. I don't remember many details from this but what i do remember is that my Grandpa was pushing me in a stroller all day. I remember stopping by the entrance and a rollercoaster going by waterfountain. Also while we were still in the park I took a picture with donald duck. Once we were done at the amusement park we went back to a condo, where i remember just sitting there and watching everybody.

Exegence

The last time an Exegence made me react to something was when I was looking through the newspaper and i saw there was a sale at a store. I reacted by going down to the store and buying some supplies before i moved to college.

First Day of College

Got to bed later than I thought I was going to the night before, because I'm still use to the summer life. I got a surprising alarm that went off at 10:00, making sure I had time to shower before I went to my first class of the year. I left my dorm room at about 10:50 and stumbled down the sidewalk to AH 0101 to my psychology 101 class at 11:00. The class got over at 12:45 and i walked back to my dorm and warmed up some Chinese food I had left over from the night before, after that i left about ten minutes early to make sure i would make it to my English class on time. I walked into AH 0327 a little before time, the class did ice breakers and now i am writing this blog.
