what else i would like to know about an argument
In this unit we have learned about argumentative papers and what they are about. We have also learned how to write them. I know that an argumentative paper has to have evidence from both sides that show supporting details to one side or the other while telling why the other side is good or bad. I would like to learn more about when and where to add certain information into my paper and how that certain piece of information will be useful towards the topic.

last argument
The last argument i was in was with the people of mnsu. I have been trying to find out about my flex dollars and how to convert them, but no body on campus seems to know anything about it. I was told from the goon that works the weekends at the hub that i shold come back to the hub on monday and they will be able to help me. On monday I went back to the hub like i was told and the cranky lady there that seemed like she was having the longest day and when i got there it was only 10 am told me i should go to "that room" and she pointed to it, so i went to "that room" where they would take my money and add it to my flex dollars account. Well it happens to be they don't deal with money at all, so they told me to go back to the hub. Once again the hub told me to go to either the dining center or res life hall. I went to both and they said to go back to the hub. So by the time i was told to go back to the hub for the 4th time i lost it. I argued with the lady that i have been here 4 times and still no help. She got crabby with me and said you can use your mav-cash anywhere too. Lets just say that was the longest way to try and figure out my flex dollars in my life!
my most used fallacy
I have found that in my life the fallacy i use the most is while im walking to class i don't step on the sidewalk lines becasue i don't want it to bring me bad luck. I was always told when i was little from my peers that if i stepped on that line it would always bring me bad luck, but in the end its not the lines that bring me bad luck its just coincidental.

Argument Audience
My audeince for my arugment paper would be focused on women who have gotten pregnant at a young age. Carly is a seventeen year old girl who has had her same boyfriend for the past 3 years. Her and her boyfriend were together one night and she got pregnant. She has had hopes and dreams about one day going to college and someday becoming a doctor at a hospital. She was in shock on how she was going to manage taking care of a baby. She didn't have time now to take care of a baby how was she going to be able to do that and go to college at the same time. She thought her only option was aboration. She wasn't aware of what other options there were. I hope after she reads my paper she will know more about how bad aboration is and why it is considered murder.

personal essay experience
In a personal essay I like being able to write with expression. I like to write notes and letters which made this assignment a lot more easier to write. I also found it easier to think of things to add because I have been the main character in the story. I really enjoy not having to look up information on a certain topic. I could just write from what I have experienced.
In a personal essay I didn't really enjoy not knowing exactly where to place the paragraphs. They paragraphs seemed like they went on forever. I tried to place them in the best spots as possible. I over all liked the personal essay better than an informative essay.
