Essay exam from text book

Well the book was really helpful. It talks about being regular to class, taking notes, participating and keeping up with the class which is really a great tool for every student.  It also talks about different techniques that a student should know such as dealing with anxiety, time pressure, and exam stress. The book also talks about using verbs in the essay, defining or illustrating things, giving examples and discussing about the essay topic. There is a table 24.1 on page 719 which really gives a broad explanation on essay writing. This book really helped me a lot and gave me some ideas that can be really useful to me in writing essays.

Why I love essay exam

      Everyone writes essay some time or the other in their life. Essay is something in which people can put their thoughts together and make it a beautiful paragraph. Essay can be short or long depending on a person’s writing or feelings. Some people write 20 pages longs essay and some write 2 page long essay.

        The only reason I like essay exam is because I can put my thoughts and ideas into a paragraph.  There would not be any page limit in it and that’s the best part I like.

Ritalin

Ritalin also known as Methylphenidate is a medication prescribed for children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).  Ritalin is sometimes also prescribed for treating narcolepsy. Ritalin and psychotherapy help in improving the conditions of individual who have ADHD. Ritalin should be only given to kids who are over 6 years of age. Many parents are getting the prescription of this medication from various doctors to control or to bring improvement in their child’s behavior. This medication is very common and primary drug which is also used to treat brain injuries, drowsiness and fatigue.  

Ritalin has many side-effects. Its short term effects are nervousness, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, changes in heart rate and blood pressure. Its long term effects are fevers, anxiety, restlessness, hallucination, bugs or worms crawling under the skin. Overdose of Ritalin can also can such effects. A person who has taken overdose of Ritalin needs to emergency medication at that very moment. Since Ritalin is causing so many problems, this medication should not be prescribed to anyone. It can also cause death.

questions and answers

1.      Who is your specific audience? The other parents whose kids are suffering from ADHD. Also other adults who have ADHD. 2.      Why did you choose them? Because we can persuade them, they can change their mind. Also because they will take a better decision for themselves. 3.      How will your audience affect the argument you intend to present? They have to able to understand our paper-we do not need to explain the treatment. We have to present logical alternatives and reasons. The tone must not sound like Monroe Anderson (uneducated), we cannot talk above their heads, we must explain big terms; gentle. We must also provide good and more information about our topic and also the treatment so they can make their own decision.

4.      Which fallacies will you need to focus on keeping from your argument? Why are these (individually) important to consider in your argument? Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc: The treatment can also cause side effects.

Hasty Generalization: Some parents and other adults are using wrong treatment or over dose of a treatment just because they think it is right or just because others are doing it. False Analogy: If some people are using Ritalin that means its good and so people are using it. Either-or Reasoning: We chose this cure because this is the best and it works out. Ad Hominem (Against the Person): Some doctors who are distributing Ritalin do not give it in public and do not give their names. Appeals to False Authority and Bandwagon Appeals: Following some one doing this is wrong.

Non Sequitur (”It does not follow”): Because of this treatment many kids might have long term side-effects later.

Circular Reasoning: We did this because we love our kids.Red Herring: Many parents use Ritalin just because they think it’s good or just because someone told them that it’s good. So that’s why they are using it. Slippery Slope: Ten years from now these kids will have a lot of problems and other long-term side effects. Equivocating: Many parents are being mislead. Failing to accept the burden of proof: They never looked into other options. Over reliance on authority: Other parents advise. Oversimplification: the pain or problems the kids will go through later.
