More then anything I found Rachel Carson’s article inspiring. Anytime in life that you need to get a lot of information across to get your point made it can very difficult to keep the reader interested and to get them to actually comprehend what they are reading. I feel the reason Carson had such an effect on the subject is because she did just that with ease.
Carson proves that it is possible to write an informative, captivating paper and get the results you want. Hopefully I can be even half as successful as Carson was.

Stuart Greene's Article
I don’t feel that I necessarily learned any new information from Stuart Greene’s article. However, I did feel like it was a great little refresher on how to form an argumentative paper.
Reading the article reminded me how important it is to pay attention to the counter-arguments that are out there. Just because you don’t address other view points and opinions doesn’t mean your readers won’t.
The part of the article on framing is what I found most educational. Although I have worked with this concept before in other classes I’ve never worked to in depth with the idea. I feel if used correctly framing can be a strong and effective way to write a strong argumentative paper.

Biographical Sketch
Hello, my name is Holly Siler. I’m an Elementary Education major and I’m also interested in getting my certificate to be able to teach Social Studies in the Middle School environment. Hopefully someday I’ll either be teaching upper elementary, 4th or 5th graders, or working at a middle school trying to get kids interested in History.
I’m a sophomore here at IPFW and just recently turned twenty. Last year I lived on campus at student housing, but this year I’m living back at home in my hometown of Goshen, which is about an hour north-west of Fort Wayne. This will be my second semester that is completely online and I’m really enjoying it.
Back in my hometown I work full-time at a retirement community called Greencroft. I get the fun job of working with insurance claims and keeping all the paperwork up to the state’s standards. I really enjoy my job mostly because of all the interaction I get with the elderly residents. I find them all so interesting with their own life stories and adventures!
I also coach cheerleading for Goshen Middle School. I enjoy this so much because I get to work with the age of girls that I hope to someday be teaching. It’s such an interesting age when they’re starting to have real-life problems and learning how to deal. It’s great to be able to help them through the problems I’ve had to go through and be a role-model.
