I agree with you 100%.
I would like for us students to be able to write whatever our heart desires. What bothers me sometimes is when we have to write a ton of essays on the short stories we read; such as writing about the theme of the story, symbolism within the story, and so forth.
However, I can see why teachers would rather assign the writing assignments. It's to help us improve our writing and in a way, reading skills. For me, when I had English class my first essay was horrible and lacked examples from the text. As my teacher kept assigning essays, I found myself improving little by little.
Overall though, I still do think teachers should allow us to pick out a topic to write about. The closest time where that happened was when my teacher gave 3 different topics and we got to write about one out of the three. That's somewhat close to being able to pick our own topic.. but at the same time, not really haha.
Logos is logic or knowledge
Answer:
Denny and <u>I</u> love to ride our bikes around the park.
I is used when the person narrating is the subject of the sentence i.e. are the ones performing an action. As both Denny and the narrator are performing the act, they are both subjects and I should be used.
Both of <u>us</u> are planning to watch a superhero movie on Sunday.
Use the pronoun <em>us</em> when<em> Both of </em>has been written because it will then show that the action is being undertaken by the 2 people.
We can't go the pool now because <u>they</u> have closed.
Use <em>they</em> when referring to a noun that is the subject of the sentence in plural. The subject here would be the pool owners who would have closed.
<em>Corroboration </em>is the evidence that is backed up by the initial evidence. For example, a witness says that I saw a man in black coat entering the store and buying a bag. Later, the saleswoman, who is another witness testifies that she sold the bag to the man in a black coat. In this case, both witnesses confirm the situation and the evidences coincide. When there is no corroboration, there is not any available source to confirm the same information.
