The thing I can fix in my paper "Painting on the Wall"

My paper "Painting on the Wall" is talking about how an advertisement tries to scare people to stop global warming. I really have a lot of comments on this and I try to put all on the paper, but it does not come out well. I think I should explain some points deeper. My third paragraph is short and not clear. I talk about the sunshine and the person in the advertisement. I should develop more like how I come out with my thought instead of just shouting my thought out. Also, in my sixth paragraph, I shout out what I think but I do not give a connection that can lead my readers to my point. I should tell them that because I live in the United States, I consider the situation of the United States and the waste here. I think my biggest problem in this paper is that I jumped too far from my point to point. I should give some connections that can lead my readers to my flow.

Put Your Own Naysayer

Naysayer is so important in your writing. You have to have some creditable sources to make your paper more believable. Instead of just putting supports in your paper, you better have something that is oppisite to your claim in your paper and prove why you still have your claim because people may have different opinion on your sources. You have to tell the reasons to show people you can represent your claim in either supportive way or oppisite way. That can let your readers know you are reasonable. Also, that can show your readers your respect because you don't treat them as stupid people but critical individual thinkers.

Hot topic

Sometimes, it is hard to find a topic that can be talked for hours because you do not find a hot topic. Hot topic is topic that people have discussed for long time but have not got a standard answer, such the meaning of life and religion. There is one common thing of hot topics that is philosophy. Philosophy has no answer ,because you can have a hundred kind of answers, if you ask a hundred people. When people do not agree with each other, they will start arguing. They try to convince each other so they will start a long conversation, and that is why this kind of topic can be talked for hours.

Don't Be a Hit and Run Quoter

Chapter 3 of They Say I Say is "The Art of Quoting." This chapter compares hit and run quotation and quotation sandwich. A hit and run quatation means that the quote has been mentioned in the writing but not explained well. A quotation sandwich means that you put a quote in the middle of your writing and it connects to your topic, and you also explain how the quote relates to your writing after the qutation. Also, you have to introduce the quote well, like where it is said and who is the author. Comparing to hit and run quote, quotation sandwich is way better, so do be a hit and run quoter.

Conversation in writing

A good article has to be able to make conversation with readers. That means the author has to make sure he/she explains each of his/her points well, because when readers do not understand what is the writer talking about, the readers will have questiones, and the conversation of writing starts when readers have questiones about articles. As long as the author keeps explaining every questiones that readers have, the conversation will continue. The conversation ends up when the author consider that he/she explains enough. So that, a good article must include a good conversation that can answer every question that readers may have.

Brand effect

My favorite sport is basketball, so sometimes I go to sport store to buy shorts. A few weeks ago, I went to sprot store to buy a basketball short. When I first thought about buying the short, Nike short was the first product I considered to buy. I was the brand effect. I used to buy Nike sport products because my first basketball shoes were Nike porduct, Jordan XVI. I bought these shoes because my favorite basketball player was Michael Jordan. Since then, I most bought sport equipments from Nike. People have modes. Once they have set up their own modes, they will do the same thing in the same way. That is why companies want to set up brands, make advertisements, and boardcast their slogans. Once people have the memory of their brands, they have big chance to sell more products. That is why the brand is so important.
