reflection on argument paper

My reflection on this argument paper is deal with ruling class and knowing how to rule with ethics. So far I am about to write down what I am going to write I have already have my information about this subject it is quite long but I will try to narrow it down. I just think that we need more opportunities for the poor and more money for all. I am not sure why I choose this subject I just think that if government is regulating a country should they try to better their people first and then the world. It sound bias if I decide to write this but I would try to the best of my abilities to make it arguable and not bias.
A good argument paper has to have to audience, have to be arguable and have a both side story between the positives from the negatives. By what I have learn today assume benevolence is by trying to get into your audience head. I think I could persuade the lower class of society and maybe the middle and high class. Base on my revision I cannot be so bias or passive.
The first thing I have trouble with is my audience. I really don’t focus or think about the audience. First of all to make it more effective I have to write more because I only wrote the thesis. I think my writing could be good but it seems I write in a passive way which I do not realize entirely only after it is graded. I just have to think about my audience more and making good sentence.

reflection of my literacy narrative

I think this assignment was fairly easy just because the fact that we had to write about ourselves and the history of my life that deals with language. I did not think it was much of a challenge because I did not put much thought into it, but I did put most about my interactions which I had to remember. It was interesting because I was learning how I am as a person and I also learned that I have grammar errors which I knew because language arts always been my worst subject. I did not know how badly I wrote my paper, but then again I didn’t put much thought because of the fact that it was a rough draft so I hurried and did my paper even though it took me a whole hour to finish because I was planning first and then I started to write out the paper which was easy

When I was assigned this assignment I thought to myself this is going to take a while. As I was reading the assignment I looked and thought that this is going to be fairly easy. All I did was answer the questions, the professor had on the assignment. It was quite fun as I was answering the questions which later I learn what I need to write. I did enjoyed a little bit about this assignment because I found out what kept me going through life even though I did not put my entire life story with language. The reason I enjoyed it a bit was is that I am not as comfortable to express myself whole heartily because I never told everything or anything about my life to someone not even my family or friends. The only friend I have talked to everything and helped me reevaluate my thought with God because I always thought that I should solve my own personal problems not have any others to help me because I did not want to be a bother to anybody.

I later learn what are my strong points and weak points after it was revised by my classmates. I found out that I’m not a good writer but I could make my point across. I did not know how much I need help on with grammar I knew that I did needed the help, but not as much as I thought. I tried to make my paper sound interesting and intellectual to others that reads it

Girl with mothers tongue

I realize this before and after I read this short story, that have been written by Amy Tan, that learning another language benefits you especially if you don't know the native or most spoken language thats being used in a country or a country your trying to move into.  It gives you a handicap in the social aspect environment if you don't know the main language thats being use.  
In the Amy Tan story "Mother Tongue" explains of her mother verbal skills and the struggle of living in another country with a different language thats being spoken and learning of how to adopt and adapt the language that's being spoken. Well, I could compare this with my parents when they first tried to speak english and, how my mom struggles the most because my dad was always working; so he had to interact and learn how to speak english. Which was hard and confusing to my parents.  
It also describes how embarrass she felt because in the short story says of her and her mother having a conversation and said "I again found myself conscious of English I was using, the English I do use with her." Which means she had to limit herself of using other english words mainly because of her mother terminology and usage of words and sometimes she wasn't able to express herself correctly with the use of the English language.
