The question of whether or not to allow cell phones in school is an important one. Cell phones are a monumental distraction to y
oung people whose attention should be focused on learning. However, they do serve a purpose in that phones allow students to communicate with their parents. Plus, cell phones are great for taking pictures with friends. In all, cell phone use at school must be carefully regulated. Which best explains the inconsistency in writing used in this paragraph?
<em>The inconsistency is: the writing states that the cell phones are a monumental distraction at school but it encourages its usage at the same time.</em>
According to the text, young peoples' attention should be focused on learning and the phones disturb the process. Therefore, they should be strictly forbidden at school. But there is no point in forbidding them, if using them to communicate with parents is seen as something positive and purposeful. This does not make any sense, this is double standards, the school should either allow the phones at school and not complain about them at all, or it should prohibit their usage without any exceptions such as communicating with parents or taking pictures with friends.
Another: "The opposing sides lit up the air with speeding bullets as... ( whatever was happening)" Try to describe the scenes/actions and use figurative language.
