Persuasive Essay
Persuasive Essay
Not everyone needs to go to college, but school just focuses on college. At San Pasqual Academy, woodshop class used to be offered with Mr. English. Now, there are no shop classes. San Pasqual Academy should offer autoshop and woodshop courses on campus.Shop classes prepare kids for jobs. It makes sense because everyone will always need a mechanic, because cars always break down. Additionally, the economy is going bad so not everyone can afford a new car. Some adults may not want students to become mechanics because they think people need to go to college to earn money. However, my dad was a mechanic at Young Pontiac Cadillac. He made $22 an hour by fixing cars. Mechanics earn enough money to pay the bills and get by.
Shop classes should be offered because not everyone is going to college. It is unfair to think everyone will go to college. Teachers push students to go to college, but many graduates end up homeless.
Someone will always want to take auto shop. Its fair to have other class not just a limited amount. At SPA, we only have a few electives to choose from, such as dance, yearbook, ASB, Spanish, and art. Because working on cars might have sentimanetal value to kids.
For some students manual labor can ease their mind from other stressful situations. It give kids something to do and gives people self confidence. By offer this new new class, students will also be more successful.
Narrator Assessment Project
Thanksgiving dinner
First-Person Narration from Isiah’s Point of View
On Thanksgiving my aunt cooked this as she does every year. She cooks because my uncle has to work on Thanksgiving day. She woke up at 6 in the morning and started cooking. She finish everything by about 11. So we had thanksgiving lunch instead of dinner. My family was there like my little brother, mom, and dad, and of course my aunt and little cousin and my uncle was working. This Thanksgiving we had food such as turkey, of course green bean cassorole, croissants, stuffing, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy, peppercorn sauce, and two pies. I had a good Thanksgiving. Then I came back to this place that some people call home.
Third-Person Narration Focused on Isiah
On Thanksgiving Isiah felt happy. He felt happy because he was going to be spending it with his family. He was happy because he was going to be off this dumb campus and have some good food for a change. He had a good time to be with his little brother and mom and dad that he haven’t been with in under 2 years. Isiah was all so happy to see his uncle aunt and cousin. But he sees them every weekend so it was not as exciting as seeing his parents and little brother. So over all Isiah had a good thanksgiving with his family and all the good food and just being with his family was the best part of it all.
