I know what you did.. the night on halloween

It was a dark, halloween night. Boys and girls were getting ready to trick or treat; A little boy name elvis was dressed up as elvis (how ironic); Him and his sister were about to start off on their two hour candy journey when Elvis spotted something in their mailbox. It read "I know what you did.. on the night of Halloween". Elvis and his sister thought it was a joke so they thought nothing of it. When Elvis and his sister got halfway through their neighborhood, they saw another letter. This time, Elvis's sister read it; "I know what your doing... tonight". His sister turned around sharply making sure no one was watching them. They see a person watching them from across the street. They start sprinting back to their house and they turn around and the creepy guy in the mask was no where to be found. We begin to slow down and finally come to walk but still looking behind us. We turn back around and the guy with a mask is right there! Elvis starts screaming. The guy in the mask puts his hand over Elvis's mouth suffucating him. Elvis's sister kicks the creepy guy in the stomach and he falls to the ground. His sister lifts his mask up and realized it was their dad.Elvis's sister had kicked their father so hard, that he died. HAPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HALLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWEEEEEENNNNNNN

Letter from a Birmingham : they say/ i say

1) It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the negro community with no alternative.

2) My friends, i must say to you that we have not made a single gain in civil rights that privileged groups seldom gives up their privileges voluntarily.

3)Let us consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws.

4)in no sense i do advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist.

5)Actually, we who engage in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality.

Entering the Conversation

Exercise 1;

When male fashion designers come to mind, people's first thought is that they are gay because they design clothes and are most of the time very flamboyient. In movies, directors make the character seem very gay because it "fits" there description. I don't know any fashion designers but i bet most of them are not gay and that they are happily married. When people think fashion designers, they automically think gay; and let me tell you they are not!


exercise 2;

In the introduction to "They Say/ I Say" the moves that matter uin academic writing, gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates designed to help writers understand the writing and accepting of both sides of the story. Although some poeple believe there side is right all the time, Graff and Birkenstein insist that a story always has two sides. In sum, then, their view, the types of templates that the authors recommend is to always be open to different theory's.
