Danica Savonick commented on the post, Who’s to say?, on the site The Arts of Dissent 1 year, 10 months ago

I just Googled those as well. It’s one thing to know that this is a problem, and another to be confronted with it in pictures in the Google search results. There’s something about the immediacy of images that makes my blood boil even more (like in Citizen). If you are mad about this and want to change it, maybe you can work with some other…[Read more]

  Hi, I don’t know who this is, but want you to know that I think you should get the extra credit because your writing is great . You were right to the point.

  My vote is with this appeal. It was straight forward. This email describes that you are working hard by spending time rewriting essays. It shows that you care about your work by saying your work won’t be perfect, but you’ll only make new mistakes. You also address that you are responsible by saying that you are lazy and forgetful. This shows…[Read more]

You describe the efforts who have made and are continuing to make in…[Read more]

This person also used good wording to appeal to their audience. They also followed the guidelines of writing a well format email. They began with a nice sentence then moved on to their appeal. My vote is with…[Read more]
