I worked with myself because this has been something I have wanted to make known for a while with out getting bashed on by my parents, I believe in something so I want to write about it. No harm done. The mode I used is argumentation and the genre would be informational because you can't have one without the other. I wrote this paper a couple weeks ago and even got some input from people in Vermont and how they feel about the issue at hand and the response I got was amazing I could not not write about it. I wrote this paper at school, home, coffee house and even in Vermont, the crisp healthy smelling air got to my head and made me want to write. I chose to write about this certain topic because I feel some wort of way when It comes to things like this and how silly law and order can be sometimes. We obey the law but do we even know why? Like I said previously my writing always has "what ifs" as a matter of fact thats pretty much the entire thing because I can't tell you what is going to happen but we can more than likely foreshadow what to know because of the stuff we do know to begin with. I will revise with constructive criticism by my peers, family, friends and my professor and listen to the possibilities at hand and how to squeeze in a certain things or what not. To even remove and replace.
The rhetorical mode I used was a narrative and the genre was to entertain and suspense the reader. Having him or her thinking about who this man is by the time the story is over. I wrote this paper consecutively for days, but when I first wrote it, it was all there out on paper. I just had no idea how to end it so I used some help from family member on what I should end this piece on and my aunt gave me some insightful things to put in there to make the story be a solid piece of writing. I wrote this paper in my basement, at school, at my aunts and in class.Yes I do feel that it was a god approach because different settings can set off different inspirations and aspirations to open your mind and think about different thing. I chose to write about this because I felt like had a l had a good lead on something that could turn into a suspenseful shirt story. Theres’s nothing but “if only” moments for me, this is a made up character and a made up life so really anything is possible. Look back, read it aloud, to family members and even friends to see if they have any constructive criticism to give me. Source #1:
Where to Invade Next http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4897822/ In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore the man himself deliberately put the pretty picture of shame into the minds of Americans. He did just this by being the “invader” himself, traveling around the world to different countries. Such as Italy, France, Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Tunisia and Iceland. While roaming the sidewalks of the empowered areas, his main purpose was to take some of there deep cultured wisdom, laws and rules and basically “steal” them.Then bringing them back to the U.S where the help is much needed. Whether you are to agree or disagree with his attempts to do so, the facts and the lives of these cultures were powerful and prominent. Most of the people who were interviewed by Moore were somewhat surprised of the things we as Americans do on an every day basis. Others were confused and almost afraid. The topics that were discussed ranged from, school lunches in France, to paid vacations in Italy, to the security in prisons in Norway, to college tuition in Germany, and to practice safe sex . Everything in between was just the icing on the political cake. The main purpose of this particular documentary was to mostly inform, but also to persuade the viewer to open his or her eyes to the difference in health, happiness, love in other cultures compared to the culture in America. Are they happier and/or healthier? Well that is for the viewer to decide. Moore decided to take matters into his own hands and discuss with multiple people ranging from police officers , to chefs, to doctors, to students and to everyday people form different cultures about how they think their rules and laws that they obey are more beneficial to their citizens. Most citizens in other cultures felt almost ashamed to talk about Americans because they stand in a different belief system. The invasion consisted of very blunt questions and actions that were answered very straight forward. Apparently our way of law and order is the wrong way and has stood in the wrong for many years, current and future. The invasion consisted of very blunt questions and actions that were answered very straight forward. But Moore had a plan. A plan to invade. Source #2: Economy Rowe, Abigail. "Economy."

I guess you can say that this title doesn't explain much about my argument but again it has everything to do with it. This source describes the drug market of prisons and with inmates who were arrested for narcotics and drug possession. The abuse of drugs and the culture behind it is ideally framed around how its misused in prisons. Majority of security let the inmates “slide” when it comes to drug consumption because they only have so much say when the drug capacity is something most couldn't fathom. People will forever take advantage of the little grace they have, especially inmates, so if the path to that is to take drugs then thats where they fall. The verdict should not be on the drug they were using, but the person who committed the crime, if it even comes to that. The funny thing is that the inmates who were arrested for having possession of drugs are doing the same thing just under federal surveillance. The channel of the the drug market is has so much influence and power that is can equal up to the amenities necessary in a prison. Also, “ Debt is thus inevitable in prison markets (Sparks et al. 1996).” Source #3 Legalizing Drugs Will Reduce Crimes: Husak, Douglas N. "Legalizing Drugs Would Reduce Crime."

The Case for Decriminalizing Drugs, Verso, 2002. This documentary separated into three categories that should be addressed more. First, the drug-crime connection and how that triangle can get confusing and very complex. The buyer not being satisfied or refuse to pay etc. That is a personal issue that the actual person decides to handle the situation the way he she wants too, the drug itself did not partake in the crime. The person did. Second, the economic crime, the whole point behind this topic is addiction. That drug addicts will go to extreme measures to get a hit. They need the materials, and if low on cash then the next choice is theft. Again, like Ive said before it is the persons doing, not the drug. Putting the drug addicts at the bottom of the list can put them in a minority that makes them forced to steal for a bump. We as a society need to change our perspectives in people, its time for trust to be let free among us all and know that we are all living our lives the way we are entitled to. People always want what they can’t have and I believe that if the easier it is to get a hold on for adults then the the craving goes way down. It’s all in your sub conscience. Lastly, drugs and violent behavior, and how society makes you believe that the drugs are the issue, when actually only 3 percent of inmates are who were arrested for violence had cocaine in their systems, but majority was alcohol, but that’s legal so its ok. Where to Invade directed by Michael Moore, is a film of facts, just flipped to make you view them as a bad thing. Its all up to the viewer how he/ she interprets it at the end of the day. I believe that these are very insightful facts that I would have never known unless I did the research but, the whole idea of Moore’s mannerism here was to change Americas culture to be more like theirs. There is no problem with asking for help when it comes down to it but, taking cultural backgrounds and making it your own is what we thrive in. There are some things I disagree with when it comes to how Moore went about these things but overall the concept was to help and I’m okay with that. There are a few topics that I would like to discuss. First, the controversy over the drug war and how painful the sentencing can be. I do not think the people who sell drugs should be arrested or even in the same facility that murderers and rapist are in. The punishment for drugs are just as harsh as the people who committed a murder or worse. Put the trust in people and the people will begin to trust themselves. Second, school lunches and how important it is to have a the basic food etiquette at a young age. So then it becomes second nature to them as they grow. It teaches respect and how to eat and be healthier. Lastly, sex education and how ignoring the issue will solve absolutely nothing. Men and women, whether it be with the same gender or not, it happens. And political figures who run this country ignoring the problems of STD breakouts, sex isn't something that should be frowned upon, it can be a beautiful thing but it is your culture that sways the society’s opinion about it. So my argument is, are we the enemy of each other or do we let our culture determine that for us already?

This short story is about a group of friends traveling to florida for spring break. They are all seniors in college who want to go out with a bang. Little did they know that was exactly what they were going to receive. When they arrived to their house one of the rooms had really dull colored yellow wall paper. As the week went on, the creepier it got. Most made it out alive, others will forever remain the house on the dirt road.
Three girls and and four men, driving to Florida to make memories that will last a lifetime. Their last spring break as college students was something that they wanted to hold on to forever. John, the one driving was getting fed up with all of the ghost stories of the house they rented. He shouted and drew the car to a stop at the side of the road. "Will you all shut up? Will you all just shut up for one second? If you don't shut up, we won't go anywhere. As they were driving there they encountered many strange things on the way. In a few minutes they saw a car some distance away on top of a hill, coming slowly as if the occupants were watching them. The road was about ten feet above and they could see only the tops of the trees on the other side of it. Behind the ditch they were sitting in there were more woods, tall and dark and deep. Amanda said she has a gut feeling something will go wrong this week. When they finally arrived to the house on the dirt road that they booked for the week they split up to see the rooms. The girls stayed in one room and immediately Amanda said, I don't like our room a bit. It was a room had a dull colored yellow paper and a funky smell that wouldn't quit, very creepy. John ran upstairs with a smile on his face, happy that they had the crappy room, said “ Damned unfair. Tragic really.” Amanda wasn't feeling right about this place the minute she stepped foot in the house. After getting ready for a night out, the men and Amanda were all in the living room when they heard something banging upstairs. Amanda was the only one who wanted to find out what it was. It came from the girls room. As she was staring into the wallpaper she saw a shadow of a woman trying to escape within the it. Something unnatural, uncanny. “I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape ' arbors, creeping all around the garden.” she said to herself. Amanda heard a banging of the door and everyone yelling. She ran downstairs to three men with guns. She shouted “You’re the Misfit!” “Yes'm," the man said, smiling slightly as if he were pleased in spite of himself to be known, "but it would have been better for all of you, lady, if you hadn't of reckernized me.” With the little hope she had left seeing all of her guy friends dead on the floor she said, “I know you wouldn't shoot a lady!” And at that the man with the pistol raised the pistol and shot her right in the head.
