...Dr. King uses a great writing technique such as using a logical and emotional appeal and adding it to his writings to get people more interested. In this letter that he wrote, he did a much better job crafting an emotional appeal than a logical one. There are a few reasons behind my thinking, but overall he used both very well to grab the reader's attention using words. Word’s influence people so much and Dr. King did a great job using them to get people to see his point of view. Overall this letter is a very persuasive letter that has lots of emotion in his writing to get people to feel a certain way about the topic, in this case it is segregation and racism. The use of an emotional appeal is so ideal in Dr. King’s writing because he is...

...Hester’s Punishments Sentenced! Proceed to your scaffold for the town to see! Hester Prynne, punished for adultery, did not deserve the punishments she was given. She should not have been placed in prison with a child. She should not have to been subjected to public humiliation. Lastly, and quite frankly most importantly, she should not have to face the daily shame shoved at her by members of the community. Hester should not have been placed in prison in the first place, but the fact that she was with a child makes the matter even more chilling! When Hester and Pearl walked out of the prison, it is said that the child “winked and turned aside its little face from the too vivid light of day; because its existence, heretofore, had brought it acquainted only with the gray twilight of a dungeon, or other darksome apartment of the prison” (Hawthorne 49). Prison is no place for a newborn to be brought up; such conditions are not even suitable for some adults. The people who sentenced her did not seem to care about the fact that she was pregnant merely because she became impregnated by “sin”. To me, child of sin or not, that is just cold. Public humiliation is bad enough for short amounts of time, whether it be falling down in public or laughing too loud, but think about being up there for three hours! (Hawthorne 62) The authorities who put her up there do not appear to have a heart at all. I like to think of it as if it was my child up there. There is no way I would stand for...

...Persuasive Letter Deborah D. Mogg NUR/405 June 11, 2012 Kim Hall Persuasive Letter Dear Mr. Supervisor: My name is Deborah Mogg and I am a Registered Nurse and a student at University of Phoenix in the RN-BSN program. I am writing this letter to you as the Supervisor of the Charter Township of Waterford to bring forward an issue that I feel needs attention in our township. I recently completed a Windshield Survey of my immediate community of Watkins Lake Estates and I have lived in Waterford for sixteen years. During this time I have noted the lack of adequate right-of-ways for both pedestrians and bicyclists. I also noted the alarming number of overweight and obese adults and children in the community. I’m sure you are aware of the exploding epidemic involving obesity and the increase of chronic disease conditions related to obesity including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). The effects of obesity and poor nutritional choices are well-documented and reported in every form of media available today. You may not be aware that the United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2011-2020 as the Decade for of Action for Road Safety, with the stated goal to reduce road fatalities around the globe utilizing efforts at the regional, national, and global levels (“UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020”, n.d.). I think these two can be put together to promote awareness and a healthier lifestyle for our community...

The class focuses on healthy communities, theory, and practice. One assignment for the class is to assess a family and conduct a windshield survey and community health nursing reflection in the community that the family resides. Working with the members of the family and the relationship that family has with the community and how they interrelate with each other is very informative. The Community Health Planning unit of the Ocean County Department of Health is the agency to contact knowing the division assesses current health conditions, obtains health statistics, and collects data regarding health indicators, resource for residents and community-based organizations, and identifies opportunities for improvement in health care. Identifying a community problem of childhood obesity that will adversely affect a toddler in the family that I am affiliated has heightened my interest to prevent the devastating outcomes associated with obesity (Ocean County Department of Health, 2012). Preventing lifelong disease process is a goal for the welfare of the community population. Addressing the issue of healthy food...

...Persuasive Letter Nur/ 405 May 2012 Persuasive Letter Dear Editor, Recently I have done a windshield survey of the community of Vale and an assessment on a family and would like to bring to your attention about a health problem that is affecting both groups. Vale has a host of health problems which includes drug and alcohol use, but the one that I am addressing is obesity. The Friedman family assessment done on the family I chose also cooks in a lot of grease and carbohydrate that is affecting their family’s health. This indicates to me that these unhealthy choices need to be addressed because the family may be at risk for heart disease. Both the community and the family are at risk for health problems that are related to obesity. This problem is related to the culture of the people in the community which is similar to the culture of the family. I am writing to you as a member of the Vale community and a healthcare professional that has worked with the family at risk. I am confident that with proper knowledge and adequate resources in place, both groups would benefit by learning how to incorporate what they learn in their daily activities and how to make healthy food choices. The National institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, (2011), states that “obesity refers to an excessive amount of adipose tissue and occurs when more calories are consumed than burned; energy balance is tipped toward weight gain, overweight, and obesity.” Some people...

...Persuasive letter University of Phoenix Healthy Communities: Theory and Practice John Marshall NUR 405 February 13, 2012 To the Editor, For the last 10 years I have practiced as a Registered Nurse and have also been a resident or our community. I feel that there is a significant amount of language barriers in our community and the language barriers between Hispanic and Caucasian populations have continued to delay needed healthcare services. There has also been an undue burden placed on the community due to an increase in tax payer dollars because of a lack of insurance. I believe that in our community we could use wasted tax dollars in other areas, decrease hospitalizations, and increase tax dollars. The frustration of being misunderstood when trying to communicate is something that everyone has experienced. It is a very helpless and frustrating feeling and when on vacation we have all experienced this communication breakdown. Imagine this same frustration and helplessness when you are unable to receive the correct healthcare or because of a language barrier you were unable to understand the medical professionals and could not follow through with your own treatment. Many of the hospitals in our area feel that by providing an interpreter there will always be clear communication between the staff and patients. This is not so. We deal with many different cultures on a daily basis and are hard to communicate effectively. The words we use can...

The situation only has to get worse before better. Madame de Tourvel has had a wild turn of events the past 48 hours and will write when she is able and the delirium is no longer with her. “The only outward signs are a high temperature, violent and almost continuous delirium, and an unquenchable thirst. The doctors say that they cannot as yet offer a prognosis” (323). While her cheeks are full of color, her eyes are sunken in and appear to be puffy from a long term crying session. She cried out, “I am dying because I failed to believe in you” (325). These words hit...

...Dear Diane Douglas, I have written to you in concern of the low educational standards, better funding for K-12 schools, higher education eligibility, career training, and better funding to provide for the struggling kids in the state to meet the cut-off. The low educational standards is something we should really pay more attention too. In K-12 math and science(which, even though debatable, will help a child the most if they wish to pursue engineering) the U.S. itself ranks in the lower half or quartile of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD) countries. We, as a proud state of Arizona, should work to change the reputation of our great nation. And even more so since we rank in the bottom 10%-20% of all the states in K-12. Continuing in the low education standards we have, only about one third of our students are at grade level in math and english. In result of us not meeting the required standards, over half of the students that graduate from high school are not eligible for university. And like a domino effect, since they are not eligible for university, over half of our students have to take remedial training for post-secondary education. All of this in together when all of the Arizona kids that are not eligible for university or the 60+% that require remediation in community college passed the AIMS test. Which probably hints at our educational standards. Yes, we have changed our standard testing from AIMS to AZmerit, and it is too early to see the effect...

Toronto, ON M5H 2N3 Dear Ms. Hanson, A youth's participation in extracurricular activities plays a very important role in their development. During their preteen and teenage years, students strive to fit in and find their place. Many of the children and teens of Toronto are dependent on the availability of extra-curricular activities. A little over 85% of children and teens aged 6 to 17 participate in extracurricular activities. (Stats Canada) The reduced funding for community centers will cause many of the after school athletic/fitness programs offered by centers across the province to be cut. This reduction in after school activities will negatively impact the students and parents that have been dependent on these programs. In order to continue running the programs, provincial funding needs to be given to these after-school programs. There are many positive outcomes that arise from student participation in extracurricular activities. Among the benefits, are that children who participate in after-school programs achieve better grades and have higher self-concepts (UNCE). Children and teenagers naturally yearn to fit in. They are able to feel a sense of belonging with these programs offered which enhance their self-esteem. Another very important benefit is that the participants...

...To: david.johnson5@g.austincc.edu Subject: Reduce hassles in your accounting. Mr David, Your business has been growing very quickly in the past year, and I’m sure you have noticed an increase in the amount of work that you are putting in to keep up with demands. You also may have noticed that keeping your accounts up to date and accurate is a time consuming process. You are currently using a cash basis of accounting where you are recording revenues and expenses as they are received. I would like to help you organize your accounts in an accrual basis of accounting where your revenues and expenses are recognized and matched in the same period. I know you are worried that you will have to learn and train your staff on this new system, and why fix a system that has been working fine for so long? Let me assure you that the training will be minimal because we will integrate it into the software that you already use. With accrual basis accounting you will be able to clearly see an accurate picture of your income each period. You will know when you are making money, not just when your customers are paying the bills. Accrual basis is also required by GAAP when you become a publicly traded company or when you make sales of more than $5 million a year. Let us upgrade your business into a system of accounting that will set you up for the next step in managing your business accounts. Send me an e-mail or call in the next month so we can get you set up before the end of this...

If you look at all of the newest consoles and how many games they have per console it isn’t a lot, the new WII U new console from Nintendo that is one of the reasons that it hasn’t reached it’s full potential on the shelves, because not a lot of people can figure out how to code for the two screens on the console.
