Summary vs Response

The main difference between a summary and response essay is the summarys lack of emotion and personal feelings. A summary is plainly informative where a response has its intentions to get some reaction out of the reader, whether agreement or not.

12/3

The reading i enjoyed best was 'Leave no child inside.' I'm part of this generation written about thats losing interest in the outside world and growing to love the tech world. You can see it before your eyes the decreasing number of kids playing in their front yards, running around getting grass stains. It's depressing to know that times are changing so much, especially to our parents. The reliance on tvs and computers to spark imaginations is pathetic.

'what ive learned concerning research papers'

I can honestly say to this day I havent really learned too much dealing with writing a research paper. Virtually no instruction was given in highschool besides the generic examples given in a fifteen minute session and then we moved on. I think my main issue is the simple fact that I've had no real experience writing one and most success comes through repitition.

Like/dislike about arguing draft

The intial problem with my draft was its length, or lack of it. Details concerning what sort of compromise both sides would come to is necessary to add as well as more specific details concerning the credentials. Not much more can be said except it definetly was as rough as they come.

Counterarguments regarding topic?

The position i took regarding urban/academic growth vs. preservation of natural lands was more of a middle fence. The constructive approach i used didn't really call for one side taking priority over the other. Both the school board and their developers as well as enviornmentalists should be rewarded ,(almost entitled), their piece of the pie. Colleges should be expanded in respect of the growing population but the surrounding lands need protection to ensure a continuing life for them.
