Introduction and Conclusion Stratgies

Background information would be my choice of an introduction strategy because I will be able to get straight to the point in my thesis statment. While my choice of a conclusion strategy would be the recommendation of a course of action because it is useful to use when ending a disscussion of a problem. I do believe these strategies chosen for my paper are effective for both my audience and the purpose for the paper. Such choices will be very appealing to my audience because they will help sturcture my paper.

I which I believe was very useful for my partner and I because we got a chance to see what we were missing and correct what we misunderstood. But before then we freewrited on the topic to get a chance to get all our thoughts on the topic on paper and we then used the checklist questions for probing to explore our topic systematically. So in all I thought each method was very useful.

What's in a Name

While racism is still going on in the mid 1950's, one black family is respected to a certain extent by the whites in their neighborhood. But their is one particular elder person that calls the man of this family George when its is not his name, but the man still answers to it anyway which make his son ask him "why did Mr.Wilson call you George, doesn't he know your name, tell him yor name" and in the father's response he tells his son "he knows my name, boy," and after a long pause the father says "he call all colored people George". It was such an incident were the family just calls it "one of those things" because it occurred very often.
