Kevin T. Keith Argument Analysis

109 Words1 Page

Kevin t. Keith uses quite a bit of personal anecdotes which unlike his questionable facts helps his argument. He uses personal anecdotes as a way to show his emotional connection and view on the topic. For example when he states “it feels like their family member has been ‘sacrificed’(because of course they do not agree that the treatment would be ‘futile’).” he seems to know what it's like being a family member of a patient whose treatment was futile. It shows a personal knowledge on the subject of futile treatment well.the use of personal anecdotes increases the validity of his credibility as well as his argument as a

  • Chris Mccandless Callarman Argument Analysis

    701 Words  | 3 Pages

    Callarman’s argument is that Chris McCandless made a lot of mistakes because he was arrogant and that he had no business going into Alaska with his Romantic silliness and he says that he was just crazy. I disagree with Callarman’s argument because I think that Chris McCandless (Alexander Supertramp) was not arrogant I think that he just wanted to learn new things. I also disagree because I think that Chris did have a reason to go to Alaska or else he would not have done it even if it just to go because he likes nature, and I don’t think that he was crazy at the beginning but I agree that he did start to get crazy when he was stuck in the wild on the bus. I don’t think that Chris is arrogant I think that he is just a guy who wants to learn new things about nature and just the world in general.

  • Jon Krakauer's Argument Analysis

    860 Words  | 4 Pages

    The way Krakauer organizes Into the Wild helps support his argument towards Christopher McCandless and to the responses received by the article Krakauer had written earlier on McCandless and about his trip. Krakauer gives the readers background information for most of the book, along with excerpts from McCandless’s journal he seldom kept. McCandless’s journal entries include statements such as, “MOOSE!” on June 6th when he shot a moose instead of squirrels, and different types of birds which he had been eating since he got to the bus (Krakauer 166). McCandless’s last writing reads, “ I have had a happy life and thank the Lord.

  • Dred Scott Argument Essay

    731 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the middle of the 1800s, the unity of the United States was threatened by the possibility of traveling closer to dividing into two separate countries. Disputes between the North and South grew as they disagreed on the allowance of slavery in the United States. The North strongly believed that slavery was immoral and should be abolished, whereas, the economy of the South greatly depended on the work of slaves in the cotton industry. After many years of compromises dealing with popular sovereignty among the states, a few key events led to the inevitable disunion of the United States. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the decision in the Dred Scott case led to disunion because they resulted in disagreements between the North

  • Mac Tucker's Argument Analysis

    378 Words  | 2 Pages

    The general argument made by Mac Tucker is that the qualification system used in America isn’t up to par with the system used in other countries. More specifically Tucker argues that a better system could be put into place because the one now doesn't work well and Americans actually hate the system currently in use. He writes that many of the high stakes exams taken are set for the students not the teachers. The teachers receive no repercussions because these exams are set for the students and the only ones on the line are them. In this passage Tucker is suggesting that a new system should be put into place so that students and teachers are both able to track their progress and improve their standards.

  • Eisenhower's Argument Analysis

    447 Words  | 2 Pages

    Eisenhower cites four main pieces of evidence. He first cites the unfortunately high number of fatalities and injuries on the current highways. Eisenhower argues that the more than thirty six thousand wounded and more than one million injured highway users put a high financial burden not only on the individual family who faces tragedy, but also on the nation. In Eisenhower 's report, he states, “But reliable estimates place the measurable economic cost of the highway accident toll to the Nation at more than $4.3 billion a year.” With this information, Eisenhower shows that with an updated highway system, accidents, and thus costs, could be cut considerably.

  • Bleeding Kansas Argumentative Analysis

    272 Words  | 2 Pages

    All men are by the nature equally free and independent, and have a certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and the liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and seeking and obtaining happiness and safety; and the right of all men to the control of their persons exists prior to the law, and is the inalienable. Like Foster and Tappan, delegates Charles and Sarah Robinson came from the strong abolitionist families and left comfortable livelihoods to ensure that the state of Kansas entered the Union as a free state. Leavenworth prospered from the railroad money in the form of the employees who constructed the tracks through the Cascade Mountains. In the early 1960’s the people of Leavenworth realized that they needed to make the incredible effort to change their situation and they decided to change the appearance of the town to bring in tourists.

  • Stephen Douglas Argumentative Analysis

    777 Words  | 4 Pages

    The South was firmly against the admission of California as a free state. Its main fear was the upset of power balance, as Calhoun contended, “the Senate, the last bastion of balance, would be stacked against the South by the end of the decade.” In addition, Meade argued that “[the slaveholding South] needed room to expand,” and that “California was ideal for slavery.” Despite their best efforts, the southerners’ arguments didn’t do much because of the fundamental gap between the North and the South on the issue of slavery; it was nearly impossible for one side to convince the other. In the end, Stephen Douglas put through the admission of California by “getting some men to miss a crucial vote and others to vote with the other side.”

  • Fisher Vs. Texas Argumentative Analysis

    When I first started researching Fisher vs. Texas, I believed discrimination in college applications was very wrong and unlawful. I believed everyone should have a fair opportunity to go to the school of their choice. As I researched the issue more, it became apparent to me that diversity is truly important to our learning experiences while in college. In college, diversity has taught me many different viewpoints and has helped me understand different cultures. The learning aspect is important but I also believe that students that come from poorer communities and challenging childhoods should have an opportunity to attend top universities.

    Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey.

    Kevin’s Sentence is a 25 minute audio clip that allows people to relive the experience of an 18 year old Canadian named Kevin Hollinsky and his drunk driving experience that happened on the 30th of July, 1994. Best friends of Kevin; Joey Camlis aged 18 and Andrew Thompson aged 19 were the unfortunate people whose lives were lost that night due to being under the influence. The short audio clip covers eveything from the tragic event to Kevin travelling around Windsor and it’s various highschool giving out presentations about drink driving and its consequences.
