Should you spend 500 dollars for the new generation gaming console Xbox Series X and Playstation 5?

For people that loves great graphics, like 4k gaming, 500 dollar is worth for an upgrade because a graphic card that run 4k gaming has already cost more than 500 dollars and only for the graphic cards.

For PS5, if someone wants a next generation controller, he should choose PS5 over Xbox series x.

For people that like playing 1080p games or 2k games, 500 dollar for a console won’t be needed. Because people likes to play 1080p games or 2k games, they like to enjoy other stuff in the game not just the graphics, and most of their equipments can ace in 1080p or 2k resolutions. So that there won’t be a need for the new generation console.

Also, the last generation consoles are still going to work for another three years in order to let the new generation consoles build their own ecosystem.

Example that I found was from a Youtuber called Austin Evans. He does tech reviews all the time. So I watched his videos about the new generation consoles.

I read Meijing Zhao and Runze Yu’s response. For Meijing Zhao, she mainly focused her points on the things that Dick Gregory’s personal experience on being ashamed by the things that his surrounding are doing to him. She had one point which is similar to mine, which is she wrote Dick Gregory wanted care. Runze Yu and mine response had the same points such as the author use his experience to reflect how racism taught him shame. I like the way that he wrote about how behavior can do more damage than words to people. Although Dick Gregory did not receive any ugly words from the surrounding, people’s behavior was more than any ugly words.

Individual writing

For my country China, one of the most significant event that I could think of which also shaped my country was 1949 when the people’s republic of China was born. The History.com has a variety events of Chinese history, for 1949, “After a violent end stage to the civil war, the Communist Party declared the People’s Republic of China.”. (History 2019, p1). I found this event significant because if there were no born of people’s republic of china, China would be still in wars of fighting against its own people. This event definitely have impact on future events, because this is how China started up and move its steps into the “new world”.

I read Aditya’s response, and his main point were appealing to the audience. His points and mine were similar because we both focused on the purpose of the writing. Knowing your audience and use their way of thinking to write the essay will make the argument more effective. Aditya also had another point which is different than mine, he chose choose a specific style for your paper. I agreed on his point because a good structure will help the readers not get lost in the words. In addition, he also added having a strong introduction and conclusion. This I also found helpful because a good start draws audience’s attention and a good ending adds a completeness to the story. These are something that I can learn from his response.

I read Mersaydes Barika’s response on the discussion. Her points and my points had one thing in common, which is we both chose having a strong intro and conclusion. Her reason and mine were similar, we both agreed that a great start and a great ending will always make the argument stronger. Something different between her points and mine is she also chose knowing the purpose of the writing. This I found also important because knowing the purpose will help both the writer and audiences understand the argument better.

After reading Meijing Zhao’s response. We can both agree on Paula Mirando’s argument and her main points: multiethnic children should accept all their family cultures and not in favor one and deny the other. However, the difference between her work and mine is that she did not have her own experience that connects to the essay. So that, she did a better analysis I think to explain Paula Mirando’s situation. I can tell that she imagined herself in Paula Mirando’s position, she felt what Paula Mirando felt. Although she does not have a personal experience on multiethnic family, she does have a clear understanding on Paula Mirando’s work.

Reflection on Essay 2 feedback

After read professor Tika’s feedback on my Essay 2, I do see some changes that I can improve in the future. I think one of the most important thing that I was missing in this essay is the percentage of each part of analysis. I think I wrote too much for ethos, so that for logos and pathos, the details did not show them effective enough. In the future, I will limit how each part’s length should be. Also, I made some mistakes on things that I shouldn’t, such as I didn’t put where did the article get published. That is a sign of I didn’t pay attention to my essay close enough. In addition, I also need to improve my time management in the future essays. I felt I did rush through this essay a bit, so next time in the future, I will try to break my essay down to parts and I will finish each parts in each day. So that, there will be less mistakes since I don’t write a lot in one time.

For this proposal argument essay, I want to write about food insecurity during pandemic. I choose this topic because I did a speech on this before, I am aware of the solution of food insecurity in U.S. However, the solution I found was for normal times, since the pandemic started in U.S., more and more people lost their  jobs. I think there had to be a high need in food insecurity during this hard time. A quick solution that pops into my mind is homeless shelter, but I believe the government figured out more solution to solve people’s needs. I will also find how people are helping each other to solve food insecurity if I can. This topic is pretty a big theme nowadays, so I think there will be a lot of resources for me to find, I won’t be worried about finding evidences.

Problem: food insecurity during pandemic.

Solution: food shelters.

Other solution: government funding…

I read Ori’s response and his ideas and mine were pretty different. We had different perspectives on this essay. Ori’s response were talking about how the story of the grandma like the way she talk can apply to others. He was saying that talking too openly like the grandma will sometimes make the person who were listening be more offensive. But my opinion were the way she talk is totally understandable in Chinese language logic. If she knew the correct English translation of the word she wanted to spoke, I think she would definitely make less mistakes on words. I think the important thing that she was sending were love, love can be spoke beyond language. Also, I think she won’t talk that relaxing with strangers. She talk like that because she was with her families.

After reading Abby and Ori’s response on visual arguments. We were all agreed on that image does help people have a more clear look to what the writer is talking about. Sometimes, words are just colder than a colorful image that came after it. Something that I didn’t talk about was the difference between colors. Abby did mentioned it. Different colors will have different attractive effect. For example, yellow is brighter than grey, so that people will suddenly recognize the yellow. Picking a right color is needed.

The person I chose from instagram is Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason I chose him is because he has the strongest ethos among all other people on instagram. He is one of the best and richiest soccer players in the world. He had about 238.89 million followers from all over the world. By looking through his Instagram page, I can tell that he is definitely a hard-working person. He loves his team, and his family. He likes to shares stuff about his team and family. Cristiano Ronaldo was also one of the most attractive men in the world. He seems like he is the same as what he is showing to the world.
