I would like to know how one would write an argument if they didn't have a side on what they had to write about. Or how a person would write an argument if they were in the middle and did not want to take either side of the topic.

audience

For my paper, my audience is going to be Bob James. He is 62 years old. He is happy married. His wife and him have been married for 40 years. They have four children, 2 boys and 2 girls. There youngest son, Matt, just told them that he was gay and wanted them to meet his boyfriend. Until this point in time Bob was very against gay marriage and anything to do with gay people. He couldn't believe this how could he have a gay son. How did he not know this?

last argument

My last argument was on Monday with my roommate. We always seem to have arguments over stupid things and Monday was one of them. I went home last weekend and I decided not to come back until Monday morning. I got back to Mankato at 7:45 in the morning. I get up to my room and she has people staying over night. I thought she would be up and gone to her 8am class but she wasn't. Then I came in and put my things away because I wanted to get unpacked from the weekend and on Mondays I am on campus all day. I leave at 8:40am and don't get back until 8pm. I didn't want to deal with my stuff from the weekend at 8 at night. So I put it away and I wasn't even being loud and she freaked out at me because I was being to loud and opening and closing my closet. So I was yelling at her because she could have at least told me that she was going to have people over night. If she would have told me I would not have been as mad. Then we stopped arguing when I went to class. Then later that night we talked about everything that happened and agreed on things that we are going to change.

Begging the Question

The fallacy that I use the most would be begging the question. I use it to try to prove a point to my friends. I will say my side and use point that I have heard but I don't know where I heard it from so I just say it because I said so. Normally I can get my friends to see my side of what I am talking about with saying my point of view and the ones I have gotten from others. This works because I said the person, where I have heard the facts from is always right. They are right because I said that they were right.

Most and Least

The thing that I liked most about the personal essay is that I didn't have to do any research. It is nice not doing any research because it saves time when sitting down to write the paper. It is a story about something that happen to us. We should know all the facts and everything that happened so it makes typing the paper much faster. I also liked this because it give us the students a chance to write a story about something that happen in our lives. To me that was interesting because I got to share a story about my past with others.
The thing that I liked the least about writing a personal essay was, I wasn't sure what to write about. Thats what took the most time. It took longer for me to decided what I was going to write about then it took me to get the story out on paper.
