Assignment # 3

Assignment #3 has been very difficulty so far. We were told to do some research on a topic in are discourse that can be debatable. Then we have to find one primary source and two secondary sources to back up our topic. It took me a very long time to finally come up with a topic. I chose to write about the death penalty. I noticed a lot of people have different views and opinions about the death penalty system and because of that it was hard finding the right article that’s appropriate for my topic. Even though assignment #3 is taking a lot of energy out of me I think it’s a very interesting/important assignment because you get to pick a topic, examine both sides of the argument and then choose a side and persuade everyone why you believe you are right. Sometimes it can be difficult to look at an argument from both sides so by us getting the experience now will help us in the future.

  1. I totally agree with you because sometimes you want to be on both sides because they both have strong stories behind them. But I think that topic you have there is awesome and very controversial you can do a lot with it. Good luck.

  2. I agree with you. Although this assignment can take a lot of energy out it is very interesting as you start researching it if you have a good topic. Your topic sounds fun and controversial. Good Luck.
