Thesis

My thesis is about dieting and exercise. Many products have flooded the market these days with so many obese folks desperate to find an easy way out. I have researched a few sites and they recommend nearly the same solution in nearly every case; eat less and move more.

An approach to style

Working from a suitable design, this comes to mind since I learn from sight. I need to see something before I can imagine it in my own mind. I need to read what is expected, practice what is worded and immitate before I can put my own pen into action.
I also need to make sure I do not overstate the subject matter, to keep from boring my readers but to make sure they know where I am coming from and the importance of the information I share.

Letter From Birmingham Jail

I believe he is addressing eight of his fellow clergymen who questioned his methods of protesting.
His letter is a well thought out plea for others to conjoin to his views of justice, with plain explanations and examples pulled in to help justify his thoughts and plea's.
His proof is in compliling court decisions, history, and his explanation to take a four-step approach  for any nonvciolent campaign.

List of the Three

Post hoc fallacy: When the moon is full the kids are going to be crazy. Many teachers believe that when the moon gets to it's full cycle, it is an instant thought pattern that the kids in class are going to be unruly and have behavior issues.

Rationalization: I would have so much more money in savings if stores did not have such great sales. This goes to show a person with lack of self control. Just because there is a sale does not mean they must attend it. Rationalization is one of the more abused excuses, in my opinion, than so many other excuses because no one wants to own their behavior, and lack of behavior.

Slippery Slope: If we grant gay marriages, it won't be long before incest, beasteality and child marriages are granted. This is just how some things could become in the world of "everything is okay" and so if one thing is allowed, then why shouldn't other things in this same area be accepted?

My persuasive topic

I had a hard time thinking about what topic to try and persuade others about until I over heard a discussion with some other ladies about weight. They were each discusted with the way they have bloomed out over the years and were sharing how each one was going to get their desire into action. Ah-ha! I had my topic to research! I must say that there is so much on the internet and in books, I am going to have a tough time narrowing down my materials! So far I have learned enough that I am having that desire to jump into action, starting with the 150 minutes of exercising recommened on the government health site. That will hopefully entice me into going for the calorie reductions, but after I have a super moist, dark fudge brownie!

Persuading folks

I do end up having to make my case (I think it is a mom/marriage/grandma thing) most of the time. I guess some of the people around me do not think I know what I am talking about and so I have to have some back up to my reasoning and topics. For instance, "You don't want to be with a man who does not work" seems to come to mind! Now several years later and a broken heart and many jobs lasting 2 or 4 days, I am right. So now when I get to talk to other people able what kind of person to find, this topic will be one of the top 10 in a list of who to choose to be with as a life partner. The other part is "you don't want to eat 8 cookies before you go to bed or you will be sick", again, trying to have the person recall the last time we changed bed sheets in the middle of the night  to remove "tossed cookies" was just enough of a reminder with proof that it was an unwise decision and to steer clear of it. Some times I hate being right, and sometimes it would be great if they would just listen in the first place!

Muddiest area

I know my muddiest part is going to be the first paragraph, in making sure that I get the thesis correct. I am never really sure where to start on these things, sometimes I believe I can just jot and go on, but then when I read it back to myself it does not sound correct. I have to also come up with some sort of subject that will be able to fill all the required things listed on the assignment sheet. I am sure something will pop in my head soon.
The high fiving is another subject, I can end any story and be very glad it is over with. In conclusions, a person can just recount what they have already talked about and be done. That is what I look forward to is being done with something, correct and on time.
