Revise this paragraph from the essay on voter identification, which focuses on one of the claim's supporting reasons. As you rev

ise the paragraph, focus on: making sure the point of the paragraph is precise and related to the overall claim in the essay, using words, phrases, and clauses to link major ideas in the paragraph, organizing ideas in a logical way, stating and addressing a counterclaim, maintaining a formal style and objective tone, and correcting MLA citation errors. Underline any portions of the original paragraph that you include in your version of the paragraph. (30 points). Paragraph to be revised: Essay claim: Laws requiring people to show photo identification in order to vote decrease voter participation. Lots of people don't have photo identification. Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is just not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States

Many people don't have a photo identification. Requiring people to show a photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a smallportion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement").

Laws promoting photo identification as a factor needed to vote decrease voter participation.

Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who don't drive anymore and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They should have a chance to speak their opinions, but they would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). However, others don't agree. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson's generalization is invalid. A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States.

Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause. 9 December 7, 1941, will never be forgotten. And lastly use commas when there is a list of 3 or more things.(example) I want you to pick up eggs, biscuits, sausages, and pancakes.

In the poem In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the poet expresses a philosophical belief in which idea?
anygoal [31]

In the poem In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the poet expresses a philosophical belief in the eternal life of the spirit.

"In Memoriam A.H.H." or simply "In Memoriam" is a poem by the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, completed in 1849.

Originally the title of the poem was "The Way of the Soul", and this might provide a clue of how the poem is an account of all Tennyson's thoughts and emotions as he grieves over the death of a close friend.

My favorite song is Rasool'Allah by Harris J. The song is about the prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) -about his life and how he got the message of prophethood.

I like the song because it is inspirational and telling us about the live of our beloved prophet (S .A.W).
