1. A writer is an artist waiting to come out. They use the pen and paper as ways of creation. They create new worlds and emotion. They are persuaders they make see things in a new light. A writer can make you want new things and despise familiar things. they create on the plain of paper.They are the pioneers. they are in places we have never been.

2.The article that we read talks about the ways in which babies are raised. it explores the two major players. the ones that believe in doing everything that the baby whim, and the ones that believe in picking and choosing what the baby gets. Dr. William Sears is on the the whim side and seres the attachment mom method. Where Gina ford a.k.a the baby Nazi believes in choosing what the baby gets. both sides have arguments that have to do with transferring to toddler, development of maturity, and the way the parents are themselves. however neither debate has sufficent evidence to back their ideology. Therefor the debate will never be over.

3.Water in the Desert Water is essential for all life. More so in times in which physical exhaustion and extreme conditions, however, as much as it's needed it can be denied. That is what the United states Government is doing to illegal aliens that are attempting to cross the border by going through miles of desert.Many people try to help them by leaving water for them, but the government has cracked down on these people. One such person was a man who left jugs of water on a wildlife refuge, he was found guilty of littering and sentenced to pick up trash for three hundred hours. The wild life refuge officials allowed groups such as No More deaths to leave water at aid stations, however, they are now saying that it causes to much littering.The author uses honorific language in order to idolize these people for being advocates.The author diverts more focus on the group No More Deaths with the quote "The advocates say compassion needs no permits". by using that the author shows that they care so much for the illegals that they would do illegal things. later in the article the author uses pejorative language with the quote "Janet Napolitano, the homeland security secretary, gave a speech last week reinforcing her hawkish commitment", with that language the reader could get a sense that Janet Napolitano is a hawk looking for prey to snatch up.Through this specialized wordchoice the author is capable of making even the most hardcore anti-illegal groups feel a sense of compassion and guilt, and that is exactly what the author is trying to do.
