And we keep in our minds the one function of adverbs is to intensity the meaning of the word it is modifying.

“Ida B. Wells-Barnett and her     Passion for Justice”

            The book described her an anti-lynching crusader, suffragist, women’s right advocate, a journalist, and speaker. For us, we describe her as a fearless woman, and a hero for his fellows. Because she did her best to get the fairness, rights and justice. Like the rights of women and the privileges of black skin people. The discrimination of women and black was stop because of her willingness, hardworking and fearless.

       Because of Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s life, we learned that we should not afraid to fight our rights and justice as long as we knew that we’re right.

         One of the story that we encountered in lesson 3, “Feeling for Others” is “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. All we want to say is the story is interesting because of the twist of the story. The story tell us that not all traditions are have a good benefits, some are dangerous.

The story describes a fictional small town which observes — as do many other communities, both large and small, throughout contemporary America — an annual ritual known as "the lottery"

“Expressing Arguments and Fallacies”

     First, is the Hasty Generalization, we learned that hasty generalization is making assumption a whole group or range of cases based on a sample inadequate. The example sentence is “All seamen are liars.” Maybe this is not true. Second is the Post Hoc or also called false. We learned that post hoc is a fallacy gets its name from Latin phrase “post hoc, ergo propter hoc”, which translates as “after this, therefore because of this”. Our own example is “When the teachers didn’t teach well, the students we’re have no learn”. Third is the Slippery Slope. We learned that this argument fallacy is arguer claims that a sort of chain reaction usually ending in some dire consequence, will take place, but there’s really not enough evidence for that assumption. Next is the Weak Analogy, we learned that if the two things that are being compared aren’t really alike in the relevant respect. Then lastly, the Appeal to Authority, we also learned that often add strength arguments by reffering to respected sources or authorities and explaining their positions on the issues we’re discussing.
