...their audiences of their point.In a letter to John Quincy Adams from his mother, his mom uses many argumentation strategies to convince her son that he is the best person for the job. She uses strategies like guilt, positively encouragement and dictation to convince John Adams to become a great Statesman like his father.

My heart felt mother Lucy Esposito gave birth to an awesome, wonderful, amazing son in me had to be born with a c-section. My mom says that I had head full of hair and looked like a fur ball. With that, I was a 6lb 7oz baby. My parents named me John Esposito after my father John Michael Esposito which gives us the same name; however my middle name is different so I’m not a junior. My middle name is Robert which came from my uncle Robert, so that is how I got my full name in John Robert Esposito. Nine months is a long time and especially was for my mother, who was a twig at only eighty seven pounds. She barely gained any weight what so ever, but got up to a hundred pounds towards the end of the pregnancy. My mom and father conceived me back in February of 1991, valentine’s baby I was! My mom says she really didn’t have any certain cravings, but that she always was craving food and never gained the weight she should of with the amount of food she ate. She said that one time she woke up in the middle of the night and was craving tacos, so my dad went out and bought some taco bell for her, and once...

...Prince Charming (NOT!) I met John* when I was sixteen-years-old. We dated on and off in high school and several years after high school. I actually married someone else when I was twenty-three, all the time wishing it was him. I even daydreamed about him coming to the church and standing up when the preacher said “Is there anyone here who has any reason that this couple should not wed?”! (You know the scene, a knight in shining armor on a white horse who whisks you away and you live happily ever after.) But I wanted to be married, and he didn’t stop the wedding, so I was married to another man for about a year. I finally realized that I was not, and would never be, in love with him, so we divorced. Not long after that I started dating John. We dated for about a year and then married. I should’ve known that it wasn’t going to be a great marriage. There were red flags everywhere. But with my rose-colored glasses on, I didn’t pay too much attention to them. The newlywed phase was great. We went places and did things together (like couples should). But after that first year and the first child, things went downhill. I had always worked, but now found myself a stay-at-home mom (to a beautiful baby girl!) and housewife. After a while, the walls began to close in on me. I felt trapped. We never did anything together anymore, nor as a family. John loved to fish and hunt and that took up most of his free time when he wasn’t working. Hudnall 2 So...

...bad influence on her and they would end up filling her head with “nonsense”. It extended to the point where she wasn't even allowed to speak with any male outside of her family. Since my mom was a stay at home mom and didn't have a job outside of our house she would depend on my dad economically and this meant he was often the one who took the economic decisions of our family and often most of the decisions. My dad believed a women should not work and should stay at home to take care of her children and her husband. This would often make my mom dissatisfied with her marriage because he would treat her more like a maid than his wife. She would never be in the same level in the relationship as him, she would always be below him. She would always have to be the one making sacrifices for the sake of our family and her marriage. This type of marriage was very common in Mexico where we lived at the time. Since Mexico has a patriarchal society they see this type of behavior normal and my mom wouldn’t have anyone who she could turn to except for her other girlfriends who would be going through the same thing and as helpless as her. This changed once we moved here, since this country has a more gender equality mindset and is common for women to work and be independent. Awhile after we moved here my mom was forced to take a small job...

...My two sisters and I were playing with our Barbie dolls, on the floor, in my mom and her boyfriend’s (John) bedroom. Everything was sweet, calm, like another day in a child’s life. No harm was there, nothing but complete joy. We heard three harsh bangs on the door. Everything fell silent. My mother rushed us into the bedroom closet, hiding us from whomever is at the door. We had no idea what was going on. There was yelling, arguing, we were terrified. After a few minutes the whole house was once again silent. No footsteps, no yelling, nothing. We thought everything was safe and okay but then the bathroom door snapped open in a matter of second. There were two very tall men standing, peering down at us. They seemed very nice. They told us three...

...one day in the hot, dry summer. My family was having a family gathering because the family hadn’t been together in a while. My aunt wanted everyone to come to her house and eat lunch together so that we could all visit with one another and catch up on lost time. All of the kids in our family are about the same age, with the exception of our two little cousins who are 6 and 7 years old. It was beginning to get dark outside and my little cousin Aubrey said, “I want to play hide and seek outside with y’all”. We all agreed to play with her and we decided that we would have teams instead of one person being it because there is so much land outside that it would be hard for one person looking for everyone. Me, my cousin Olivia, and my brother John Michael, was all on a team together and we were the team that was it first. We counted for five minutes to let everyone get in a good hiding spot. After the five minutes was up, we went searching. As we were searching, we saw this trail that we had never seen before. The trail was behind our aunt’s house and was hidden by the woods, which is why we never saw it before. My brother thought that maybe they could be hiding back there and he said, “let’s go check on that trail and see if we can find any of them hiding there”. We began walking down the trail and we soon realize that none of the kids were hiding there. For some reason though, we kept walking. I guess we all were just curious as to where the trail would lead. About twenty minutes...

...1:30-3:00pm Prof. Ulep Title: John Tucker Must Die 2006 1. If you were Kate and you had Katie’s Mom, how would you feel about your family’s lifestyle? Well If I were in her situation, I would accept the fact that she is the only family I have. And I would not take advantage of the fact that she couldn’t focus her full attention to me. I will not let our situation ruin our life or my relationship with my mom because she’s the only ally I have. I would also do the same thing that Katie did to her mom when she scolded her about her dating issues. I think it’s my responsibility to protect my Mom and I have the right to know who she was dating. But I still have my limits and I have to give her respect and privacy. 2. If you were to be John Tucker’s date, would you react the same thing like the three other girls? Why? Honestly speaking, If I were in that kind of situation, I really wouldn’t mind. I will take our date as a pleasure of meeting him and asking me out. I’m not the kind of girl who’d be so kind of obsessed in a guy in our first meeting. Most especially if I know that guy is kind of so popular in school. I’ll be just glad that I was once his date. It’s always important to take precautions before you go out on a date. You really have to know who the person is so that you’ll have a little background and that you’ll know how to treat him. But if the case is like this one, I’ll be slightly devastated at first ‘cause John Tucker is so cute and soooo hot...

...he went on a business meeting at Jimmy’s Poor-Man’s Bar to see John, a customer. He spilled his drink and after that decided to do a flame with his mouth using grain alcohol. He killed Jimmy and did serious damage on the property. Software Inc. policy to fire employees is to have a final interview with him, but they fail to do so with Coleman, due to the severity of the happening.

...Gary Soto’s “Looking for Work” Gary Soto is a professor of English at UC Berkeley. He grew up in Fresno, California and has published several volumes of poetry as well as essays and prose memoirs. “Looking for Work” appeared in Living up the Street: arrative Recollections (1985). One July, while killing ants on the kitchen sink with a rolled newspaper, I had a nine-year-old’s vision of wealth that would save us from ourselves. For weeks I had drunk Kool-Aid and watched morning reruns of Father Knows Best, whose family was so uncomplicated in its routine that I very much wanted to imitate it. The first step was to get my brother and sister to wear shoes at dinner. “Come on, Rick – come on, Deb,” I whined. But Rick mimicked me and the same day that I asked him to wear shoes he came to the diner table in only his swim trunks. My mother didn’t notice, nor did my sister, as we sat to eat our beans and tortillas in the stifling heat of our kitchen. We all gleamed like cellophane, wiping the sweat from our brows with the backs of our hands as we talked about the day: Frankie our neighbor was beat up by Faustino; the swimming pool at the playground would be closed for a day because the pump was broken. Such was our life. So that morning, while doing-in the train of ants which arrived each day, I decided to become wealthy, and right away! After downing a bowl of cereal, I took a rake from the garage and started up the block to look for work. We lived on an ordinary block of mostly...

I was there for fifteen minutes and as I peaked at the door I saw my uncle John slip through the pink screened door. My teacher, Mrs. Harrison, gave my uncle a quick nod in order to let him come get me. My uncle was the only man my mom ever spoke too, at least when I was around. But by the look in Uncle John’s eyes I could tell something was horribly wrong. We buckled up into his ford ranger and hummed toward Moms work. Mom worked just down the street from our trailer park. I could see cation tape around a certain part of the road. There was too much for me to handle, Sirens blaring, Cars screeching, and...
