Plato and Vonnegut on Writing (Compare/Contrast Moodle Activity) After reading the syllabus and the Rhetorical Modes Handout, pl

ease write a paragraph or two comparing and contrasting the viewpoints expressed in Kurt Vonnegut ins quote at the top of the syllabus for this course: "The great thing about writing is that it enables us to be so much smarter than we actually are," and Plato's third argument against writing as listed on the Rhetorical Modes Handout, which states that writing: "frequently gave a 'false' impression of wisdom - one that did not rightfully represent the wisdom of the argument of its author Here are a few notes to help you along with this assignment. First, the terms compare and contrast have very specific - and opposing - meanings. Comparing shows the similarities between two or more items whereas contrasting shows the differences. Accordingly, please keep in mind that, when an instructor asks you to compare and contrast two items - whatever they may be those two items typically do have a thing or two in common but also usually some clear difference(s) as well. For example, you will probably never be asked to compare and contrast a watermelon and a gym sock because they are simply TOO dissimilar to even make sense of any sort of side-by-side evaluation of them. Second, while you are welcome to express your opinions here to a degree, please recognize that both a very tangible and particular similarity and difference exist between these two quotes and the ideas that they represent. In other words, much like a math problem, there really is a "right" answer to this question - and many wrong ones. MS Word or any other external word nrocessing program that you may use - when you submit it for grading, you must do so by​

The government recently announced that it plans to hold a major sporting event in your country. write an article giving your fee
dsp73

Answer:

The Sporting event sounds fantastic! Maybe this is a chance for me to show off my skills and techniques. A week has passed and there are only a few days left until the major event. I was so excited yet my heart started pounding as soon as someone mentioned that I signed up for it. My family and friends were all counting on me to win this competition so the pressure was on. Soon everyone in my school began to acknowledge and take interest in asking me what sport I liked. I felt so nervous but I tried to think positively to help the situation. A mixture of thoughts were running through my head, things like, "I can't do this." "Everyone will be proud of you." and "I'm useless." At that moment upon those words my mind went blank.

Hope this helps and please change it if you want.
