Answer:

Sample Response: The argument in favor of social media use is the stronger argument. The article claims that students do better in school when they use social media. The author gives anecdotal evidence that students use social media to discuss classwork, then uses empirical evidence to show that grades went up in a study where students used social media. The argument against social media is weak because it lacks specific evidence. The writer uses the rhetorical device of parallelism to list a variety of ill effects of social media use. However, the writer never offers any evidence for these negative effects. This writer uses the bandwagon fallacy by telling the audience that most people who want to do well do not use social media  im positive its correct.

Katen [24]
1.The purpose of this argument is to inspire and move the American people by appealing to their sense of pride and responsibility. In doing so Kennedy hopes to move people into changing and fixing the problems that plague the American society like the racial inequality, which is illustrated with the example of the children, the economic problems like the one of production of energy and raw resources. Kennedy hopes that this will help the society and world as they will be able to oppose communism. By appealing to that sense of patriotism and giving Americans a righteous cause, Kennedy wants to accomplish the goal of making America alongside the rest of the world, a better place.

2.This is written from Kennedy's point of view and it represents, his ideas, his goals and his aspirations. He wants the audience to accept his views that the country needs to do better and that all of his actions are for the good of the American people and the world. He wants his audience to see that the problems like education system and economic responsibility and the greater involvement of the government are necessary for the good of all.

3. The intended audience for this argument is none other than the American people. This can be seen in the multiple instances during this argument. Right near the beginning he discusses domestic things and the things "we do here in the United States." Also near the end he talks about "this generation of Americans" and their date with destiny.

4. Kennedy's claim is that the United States is a great country, but as he says it could be "greater country" and that it is a powerful country but it can be "more powerful country". By this he means that the US has to be better and address the domestic issues that plague it.

5. The first evidence he provides relates to the economic growth of the country which is not really good. He also states that the US has a problem with the distribution of goods and poverty. He later continues talking about the problems the US has with the education system and the number of highly educated people it produces. He also talks about the problems with production and the racial inequality.

6.Yes, a counterclaim is presented and it deals with the mainly with the government influence. Kennedy states that many are concerned with the influence of the government and that it should not meddle as much. That is the main obstacle he has in realizing his goals. Kennedy weakens it by stating that he does not want a big and strong government by an efficient one that will allow all people to be able to sustain themselves. He also states that there are some problems that can only be overcome if the people band and work together and that is what the government will allow them to do.

7. Kennedy's argument is very convincing because shows his ideas, goals and views clearly and logically. He giver concrete evidence to support his claims and they are presented in the logical way. The counter-argument is refuted and weakened. He also manages to stir the hearts as well as the minds of the people. He effectively uses both pathos and logos as well as ethos.

Can you please help meeee
mylen [45]
Finally! The day has arrived for our family’s day at the beach. My parents have been planning our family excursion to the beach ever since the summer holidays had started. Of course, I’ve been very elated when my parents had made the announcement that we were going to the beach this Sunday coming. So last Friday evening, my dad took some time off early from work so that he, mom and I can go to the grocery store and purchase everything that we are going to need on our trip to the beach on Sunday.

There were so many things that we had bought for our family day at the beach, like snacks and refreshments and meats and rice and so the list goes on. Now that the day had finally arrived, I was ready to spend a wonderful time with my parents at the beach. On Sunday morning, my mom and dad had been busy cooking the food in the kitchen while I helped packed the refreshments in a large cooler box with ice.

By the time my parents had finished preparing the food, they had packed it into a large box with plates and spoons and forks. Then we had started packing everything into our family caravan. Soon, in the next hour, we were driving through the main road, and we were on our way to the beach, which is actually my favorite place in the world so far.

The sea water was blue and beautiful as it sparkles in the warm sun. There were a few people here and there on the beach. Some were busy playing cricket, while a few kids were building sand castles just for fun. There were at least three or six people for the most, already bathing in the clear, blue sea water. By the time, we had gotten out from the caravan, I was already excited to go into the water and enjoy a fine sea bath. My mom had seemed to have read my mind so she told me that’s it lunch first, and then we all can go into the water.

The food was incredibly delicious. Baked chicken, lasagna, egg salad and shepherd pie, it was truly an amazing meal that I’ve ever eaten so far. Then I drank some iced cold lemon lime juice to wash it down. Well, I have to say that I was already enjoying our family day at the beach so far. After that incredible lunch, my parents and I relaxed like for half an hour until it was officially time to have some real fun. We all ran into the sea water and dived in. The water was cool and wonderful that we stayed there until it was time for us to pack up and go home.

It was five o’clock that evening when we all had packed up our belongings and put them back into our family caravan. As I sat in the back seat of the caravan, I looked out of the window to have a quick look at the clear blue sea water one more before we drove off. I can see that sun was already setting above the horizon of the ocean. But I know that some other again, we shall return to enjoy another family day at the beach.
