My response to Megan W.'s " One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue fish- Social Action questions"

             

                After looking through different blog post the instant I found this post I was intrigued. Not only is the post idea fascinating, but I learned how talented a writer Megan is. Megan's response to "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue fish" opened my eyes to new ideas about the Dr. Seuss's classic children's book. This post made me appreciate the lesson Dr. Seuss was subliminally teaching me as a kid, and how as a matured reader I can now appreciate his writing even more. But mainly, this taught me to appreciate Megan's writing even more. I thought this was an impeccable response.                

                What I admired about her poignant response was how she analyzed the children's book which we could all relate to. The most interesting aspect of this response is the way Megan incorporated the Social Action query; the text may have more depth then many of us expect, but the questions didn't seemed designed for the book. However, I thought Megan did an incredible job analyzing the text. Concurrently, Megan gave many realizations about the book I had read loads of times. And these are realizations I have only made now. I thought Megan's analyzing topped with her rich vocabulary.

                 In conclusion, Megan did amazing work that I was very impressed by. She has conveyed an incredible talent for writing and her writing alone has already given me tips for my future posts. However, nobody is a perfect writer. Some things she could work on in the future could be; correcting some grammar errors, combining instead of stringing out her ideas. All in all Megan's response was incredible and she showed amazing writing skill. Bravo Megan!

Non-fiction critical analysis

"New Factor in Campus Sexual Assault Cases: Counsel for the Accused," by Ariel Kaminer, is a fascinating article that gives a new point of view to campus sexual assault cases. This article informs readers about recent discoveries of victims of sexual cases setting up the suspect. It also discusses how schools may be thinking they are handling sexual assault on campus, but they are not looking into the case. This could lead to a future large issue, and this article shows the little issues that are beginning to happen.

One of the largest issues is the way some schools have not been looking into the cases. For example at             Colombia University a student was suspended for a year, but later the student says that the girl invited him in to have sex with her. Then later the girl says it wasn’t consensual. No whether he or she was right is another story, but the fact that the school didn’t take a closer look is a problem. In addition, in October 2014 Harvard’s sexual misconduct policies governing punishment were criticized by twenty-eight faculty members, for being biased against males. This shows the failure in the sexual assault policies.

Another problem is the tough consequences that colleges are giving students who might not be the suspects of sexual assault cases. For example the student who goes Colombia University was suspended for a year and wasn’t aloud to make his claim, of not committing sexual assault. Also, a recent study found that more then one third of the students who may have committed sexual assault on campus were expelled. Both of these rules in college may hurt people’s degrees for the future even if they didn’t sexually assault anyone.

In conclusion, sexual assault is a big issue on campus and in general. I think rape is one of the most horrific attacks. However, the cases must be thoroughly checked, and listening to fake claims is unprofessional even though sexual assault should be irradiated.
