Thesis Statement Against Homework
The Case Against Homework:
Homework/it is "All pain and no gain"
There is very very little, if any, correlation between homework and test scores
Not a single study has ever supported the folk wisdom that homework teaches good study habits and
self–discipline.
Most of homework is assigned as busywork to keep kids busy, assuming that they will waste their
time.
A lot of teachers feel pressured to assign homework by tradition, administrators, and/or parents.
Most of the folk wisdom that homework is good and helps your academic achievement, test scores,
responsibility, study habits, and to connect with your family has either been proven wrong, the
opposite, or has not been proven at all.
Homework only allows kids to grow academically, because it takes up so much time to do, they don't

To Be Bullied
(Topic Sentence) Anyone can be bullied. (Background Info) It is the late 1980s, and Jamie
Nabozny goes to middle school in a small town in Wisconsin. Because of his sexual orientation, he
is constantly being bullied and teased. The situation soon escalates to physical violence, which
almost makes him commit suicide. He even runs away several times, to try to escape the bullies at
his school. (Attention Grabber) One day Jamie is kicked and beaten so badly that he had to be
rushed to the hospital. He told no one what happened because he was terrified the bullies would act

of standing up to the injustice, but Jamie didn't give in. After feeling too horribly abused, Jamie
runs away to seek asylum at a community center in the city. Jamie reaches out to people who give
him encouragement and valuable advice to seek a lawsuit against the school that had denied to
acknowledge or support Nabozny through his horrible school years. D Jamie's experience inspired
others to never give in to bullies. Jamies story not only told others of his experience, but to press

anyone who are victims of discrimination and injustice must fight to have their voices heard, and

events was the gathering of abolitionist activist at the Seneca Falls Convention. The Convention was

(INSERT IDENTITY BASED ATTENTION GRABBER BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK OF ONE)
Good morning/Afternoon, I'm Tarryn and today I'm going to talk to you about personal identity.
Identity is what makes us who we are, everyone has a different identity. Without identity we wouldn't
be human because everyone needs one to exist. Our identity is changing as we progress through life
and as we experience new and different things. The texts that I've looked at are "Frankenstein", the
graphic novel by Gris Grimly, published in 2013, is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's original text,
about a scientist who creates a 'monster' who he's ashamed of and leaves the 'monster' with no
knowledge of anything about himself or the world. My second text is "Edward Scissorhands", a
film directed by Tim Burton and released in 1990, which is about a man created by a scientist who
dies before he can entirely finish his creation and must live his life with scissors as hands. From
these texts, I am going to be talking about how our journey through life changes our identity and how
others can affect our identity.
As we progress through life, our identity changes. We are always moving through life so our
identity never stays the same, along with our identity changing so do our views and beliefs. In Gris
Grimly's graphic novel, "Frankenstein", we are presented with a young intelligent Victor
Frankenstein, as we progress through the novel, we see his dark interests and intent begin to show.

Essay Outline Introduction: ANT A=Attention Getter: N=Necessary Information: In "The Great
Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carroway, the narrator, has recently moved from the
midwest to start his career in New York. He lives on the island of West Egg, next door to a
mysterious man named Jay Gatsby. Nick becomes friends with him and learns that Gatsby is in
love with his cousin Daisy. They never married because Gatsby had to go off into the military and
he was not rich enough for her, so when Gatsby was shipped overseas, Daisy married another man
named Tom Buchanan. When Gatsby returns from his service and discovers this, he begins
bootlegging to make enough money to try to impress her and win her over. After Gatsby uses Nick to
...show more content...
Tom told George, Myrtle's husband that it was Gatsby's car that hit her. So George, seeking
revenge, killed Gatsby. Significance: If Gatsby had been willing to see the signs and listen to
Nick, his death would have been avoided. Gatsby's tragic flaw is what ultimately lead to his
untimely death. Second Body: Gatsby suffers more than he needs to. "Gatsby bought that house
so that Daisy would be just across the bay" (83). Gatsby threw large and fancy parties in hopes of
Daisy showing up to one. He has gone to great lengths to make himself appear as appealing to a girl
who never proves herself to be worthy of sacrifice. Gatsby creates a facade for himself in order to
appear as a man who– in his mind– would be worthy of Daisy's affection. "Gatsby, pale as death,
with his hands plunged like weights in his coat pockets, was standing in a puddle of water glaring
tragically into my eyes" (91). Gatsby was really nervous while waiting for Daisy to come see his
house because he wants to impress her. He cares about her so much, yet Tom has been cheating
on Daisy since the beginning of their relationship. It is made clear that Tom does not value her at
all, so Gatsby does not deserve the pain he receives when Daisy chooses to stay with Tom over
him, because of how much he loves Daisy. Third Body: The final way that F. Scott Fitzgerald
portrays Gatsby as a modernist tragic hero is through his

motor skills. According to Wells, The more you practice drawing, the better your hand, eyes, and
brain can harmonize together. Your hands become an instrument to help you record the world
around you.

brain actively participating and as a result of this our brains grow (Wells). It also boosts our ability
to concentrate. If we are focused on drawing we are less likely to scroll through social media
absentmindedly.

Death Penalty
I.Introduction
Attention Graber: Everyone knows that in the United States killing is wrong and if you do kill you
get punish for it. Holly Near an activist tells us "Why do we kill people who are killing people to
show that killing people is wrong?"
Audience relevance: The United States is one Nation and that we believe that if you commit any
crime you must be punished. If you commit a crime than you should be punish not murder. The death
penalty is not a punishment. Also the Death Penalty is costing many of us money without even
knowing.

by lethal injection I started thinking what would have been if that was my father. The...show more

The study was led by lawyers and statisticians
Transition (signpost, review, preview): Now that we know that people are wrongly convicted, now
I'm going to talk about that the death penalty being murder and revenge.
III.Main Point 2: Only because the many state legalized the death penalty does not means that is not
murder.
A.Sub Point A: In the article "Legalized Murder: The Death Penalty Serves Revenge and Does
Nothing to Solve Crime" by Michael J. Ring he tell us that "Our desire to see criminals put to
death can be summed up in one word: revenge. We are a society that still believes literally in
Hammurabi's Code. We want to see an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" There is no other
explanation because our society thinks that whatever you do badly is going to come back and get
you. If people did not believe in revenge or in the Hammurabi's code there would be no Death row.
B.Sub Point B: Michael Shammas a student at Harvard Law School says in his article "The Death
Penalty Is Premeditated, Unconstitutional Murder" publish in Huffington post he says that the
supreme court informs us that "carrying out of the death penalty... constitutes cruel and unusual
punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments" If it violates our amendments

tall friends.

good at.

college.
a.Sub–Point: Before that, all I could think of was a blank slate. I mean, I didn't know what was
going to happen. I decided to get a master's degree because getting a masters' degree allows me to
start at Tier II in the state of Kentucky, which results in a higher salary. I wanted to ensure that I had
an edge on other teachers, because most teachers are female, making for stiff job competition.

usage in public? When is it acceptable, to use cell phones in public? Americans today have
adapted the addiction of cell phone technology, the device accommodates more than just text or

Many times an over zealous government takes actions that cannot be justified. A good example of
this is the Ruby Ridge Incident, where a mans wife and son were killed over a minor firearm
offense. Some States have enacted their own laws. Florida has allowed its citizens to carry a
concealed weapon. Since this law was enacted the murder rate has dropped by 29%. Over the same
period of time the nationwide murder rate increased by 11%. This clearly shows that guns in the
hands of law–abiding citizens can prevent crime. In contrast many of our countries major cities
have banned all guns. In 1976 guns were banned in Washington DC. Since then the murder rate
has risen 400%. According to a CBS poll, 64% of Americans rightfully understand and don't
believe gun control laws reduce crime anyway. History has proven that every nation, which has
disarmed its citizenry, has ended up with a dictator, a police state, and with countless horrible
atrocities. It is true that we either learn from history or history will repeat itself. Personal
Protection Not only is it our right to own guns for protection against a overbearing government, but
also against those who intend to infringe on the peoples security. The criminals don't care about
gun control laws for themselves. Actually, they are hoping for more laws will pass for gun control.
It makes breaking the law safer and easier for them. A common belief is that people don't need guns
because we have the

Attention Getter For Music Essay
A.Attention Getter: What is music? Many people say that it's a harmonious beautiful sound that is
pleasing to the ear. According to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a nineteenth century poet and
educator, "Music is the universal language of mankind." Not only is music a type of communication
but it's also type art which many people fail to remember.
B.Revealed Object and Speaker Credibility: Headphones are a pair of listening devices with
speakers that are most commonly used to listen to music. The reason why this invention exists is
because it helps you block out any distractions/noise from you and it prevents others from hearing
what you hear.

Sub–point 2: After years of listening to music, I began to see how much of a significance music
really is. I realized that people can express themselves through music and how music can
emotionally impact us. But most of all, I found that music was something that I could escape to
whenever I'm going through a hard time. Whether if it's after a fight I had with a friend or when I'm
stressing over school, listening to music never failed to give me immediate comfort. Just putting on
my headphones and putting aside all the distractions from the world brings me peace.
C.Conclusion
1.Restate Thesis: Now you have a better understanding of how with music you can be able to
express yourself universally and as well as feel different emotions while listening to music.
2.Review Main Points: First, I discussed what role headphones play in the music culture, and then I
informed you about my experience in music culture and how I use headphones.

and allow ourselves to fully dive into the world of music, we can learn how to appreciate the beauty
of this universal

Attention Getter) Imagine you are at school and someone calls you saying a family member just
had an accident, but there are no doctors to attend her or him. What would you think in that
moment? Or what would you do? You are losing someone and no one can help. I would definitely
feel devastated, hopeless, scared, sad, almost even useless. Horrible right? Well there are people
around the world that face situations like those very often. Many people in the lower class do not
have any sort of medical care due to their economic situation. Do you see how not having access
to medical care can be dangerous, that is why if we want to fix it, we must focus on its current
status and statistics, moral and ethical problems, the solution and the benefits of fixing this
problem. Point 1) Not having any type of medical care when needed can be one of the worst things
that can happen. Hundreds of people die due to the lack of quick medical attention every year. This
is an issue that should not even exist and we must do something about it. It is estimated that at least
400 million people around the world do not have any type of health care, mainly people living in
poverty (less than 1.25 dollars a day). Although 400 million people does not seem a lot compared
to the 7.2 billion people in the world, if think about it, it is actually a lot. Imagine everyone from
the USA and everyone from Russia combined. There are many diseases around the world that could
kill you in an instant, and believe

Attention Cognitive Psychology
Research carried out on attention has mainly been associated with the selective processing of
incoming sensory information. It proposes, to some degree, our awareness of the world depends on
what we choose to focus on and not simply the stimulation received by our senses. Attention is often
linked to a filter that screens out most potential stimuli whilst allowing a select few to pass through
into our conscious awareness, however, a great deal of debate has been devoted to where the filter is
situated in the information processing chain (Martindale, 1991). Psychologists have made extensive
contributions to this subject matter in the past century. Notable examples include Donald
Broadbent's filter theory of attention (1958), which set the...show more content...
This buffer was a temporary memory store in which the unselected information could be held in
parallel for short periods of time (Styles, 2006). Information can remain in the buffer for processing
at a later stage, if this is not the case, it corrodes and is then lost (Martindale, 1991). It is only when
the "information passes through the filter into the limited capacity channel, which is a serial
processor, that it is identified" (Styles, 2006, p19). The indication is that therefore, selection from the
parallel input is made at early levels of processing, and is consequently an "early selection model"
(Styles, 2006). A number of theorist's have, however, introduced models that completely reject
Broadbent's Filter model. An example is that of Deutsch and Deutsch's attention model (Martindale,
1991).
Deutsch and Deutsch (1963) offer a model in which all stimuli are fully analysed, with the most
significant message determining the response (Eyesnck, 2010). This theory proposes a bottleneck,
as the filter is placed closer to the response end of the processing system. This model is recognized
as a late–selection model (Deutsch & Deutsch, 1963). The Deutsch and Deutsch model was later
modified by Norman (1968) who alleges that sensory inputs are processed routinely and instinctively
before we consciously know about them. Norman suggests that no signal is filtered out but all are
processed to the point of activating the stored

Informative Speech On Human Trafficking

Body
I. Human trafficking is modern–day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to
obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act (Homeland).
A. Human sex trafficking is a rapidly expanding crime that creates an urgent need to better identify
and prosecute human trafficking cases (Helton).1. People often tend to try and recruit children,
teens, and even adults by making false job offers.

ride busses or catch rides with friends can result in human trafficking. B. Human Trafficking is also
done by threatening or the use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or
vulnerability, or giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim
1. Majority of those who result in human trafficking do not go willingly.
2. in fact, many who are aware often tend to result in trafficking as well. C. Not all human
trafficking is about sexual–exploitation. Some are being sold just to be slaves or to even to be killed
for enjoyment.
Transition: We may not be able to stop all human trafficking entirely but there are ways we can
prevent it.
