Plenty of Cause and Effects
Our 2nd essay is a doozy.....how ironic the topic of our essay immediately gave me an idea because of watching the movie The Dallas Buyers Club just last night. I honestly never looked at the reviews or what the movie was about other than hearing from friends how good it was. I came away impressed and amazed this movie was. You really need to see this movie. Anyway, the movie is about A.I.D.S. and how one rugged and wild cowboys quest. That is all I am going to say. In my opinion is imperative that you pay close attention to pages 409-414 in Saint Martin's Guide to Writing 10th Edition as this explains and gives different examples. Also, make sure you read the Basic Features: A well presented subject, a well supported casual analysis, an effective response to objections and alternative causes and a clear, logical organization. I never knew this particular event that happened during rise of the Dallas Buyers Club.

Kion, woo yall are trying to blind me with the tiny fonts! Haha, try and make it a bit bigger.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read reviews. I just knew it was about the AIDS virus. My boyfriend told me it was changed a lot from the real story: a homosexual vs. the homophobic, redneck, electrician portrayed by M.M. in the film. I really enjoyed it too though. I watched it after your referral! ;) That and Enough Said out of Redbox last weekend. I relaxed a weekend early since I knew I'd grade and do hw during SB!
I'm glad you mentioned responses to objections. I'll look forward to seeing how you worked that into your final draft of essay #2. I was impressed with the activism of the character, especially because of how he began in the film (attitude wise). I loved the grocery store scene with his former friend, lol.
Thank you for fixing your posts (transferring them too)!
