1. Who wrote the story?
Autumn Stienle wrote this story.
2. What is their story about?
Her story is about the acceptance of gay Americans.
3. What is their direct opinion about that topic? Please quote it directly from the story or do a really good job of paraphrasing.
"I think gay people are the last people we need to be looking down on. Gay people are just as much human as any other human."
4. Did they address what the other side might think about their topic?
This person addressed what a person opposed to gay marriage might think about the topic.
5. Were they wishy-washy with their opinion? By this I mean did they every go back and say well maybe if this were to happen, then their opinion wouldn't be valid. Support your opinion.
I believe this person had conflicting thoughts on their topic. The statement "I get that not everyone agrees with same sex marriage, and that’s fine because people are going to believe what they believe, but it’s not their life." appeals to those who believe they are doing the right thing by ignoring homophobia. The article asks for change, but those with harmful sentiments will continue to hurt people.
6. Are there any quotes in the story?
There are no quotes in the story.
7. What point of view did they write in (1st, 2nd or 3rd)?
This person wrote in first and third person.
STORY #2
LINK TO COMMENT:
1. Who wrote the story?
Cianna wrote this article.
2. What is their story about?
Her story is about police brutality, specifically an incident that happened recently.
3. What is their direct opinion about that topic? Please quote it directly from the story or do a really good job of paraphrasing.
"[Police brutality]'s wrong and the police who are guilty of it need to be punished more appropriately."
4. Did they address what the other side might think about their topic?
This person addressed what students might think about this topic.
5. Were they wishy-washy with their opinion? By this I mean did they every go back and say well maybe if this were to happen, then their opinion wouldn't be valid. Support your opinion.
The article goes on a tangent here. I believe this is refuting the person's original opinion.
"Now granted, you have to put yourself in the officers shoes. This was most likely not an act of racism seeing as the majority of the students at Spring Valley are black."
How would the race of the majority of students have an effect on the racism perpetrated by the officer? In several incidents, an area populated with mostly citizens of color will have white cops. Why is it important to sympathize with the officer, but not the student?
6. Are there any quotes in the story?
There are no quotes in the story.
7. What point of view did they write in (1st, 2nd or 3rd)?
The story is in first and third person.
