A bacteria is around the same size as the average microplastic so there isn't anyway we can clean up what we already have. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38116 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38116 Thu, 27 Feb 2025 16:23:19 -0500 This may be less accurate now that the Trump administration is in charge. From what has been seen Trump has been working on lessening research about health and climate issues. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38114 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38114 Thu, 27 Feb 2025 16:22:10 -0500 This is very surprising becuase most people, myself included, think that it comes from packaging. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38111 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5637?scroll_to=38111 Thu, 27 Feb 2025 16:21:30 -0500 This is a very viable solution but we will have to be careful to make sure this doesn't ruin the ecosystem. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37114 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37114 Wed, 19 Feb 2025 11:16:23 -0500 Along with just being there microplastics can act as a shell for more dangerous things like chemicals and bacteria. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37113 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37113 Wed, 19 Feb 2025 11:15:37 -0500 One of the most worrying signs is in development. When humans develop everything needs to be just right and our bodies are good at that but plastics could get in the way. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37112 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37112 Wed, 19 Feb 2025 11:15:02 -0500 We have already seen the effects of plastics and chemicals in our environment. They can have very bad consequences for animals. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37110 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5135?scroll_to=37110 Wed, 19 Feb 2025 11:14:09 -0500 I wonder if we will see a rise of brith defects due to this rise in plastics being everywhere. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36776 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36776 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:24:40 -0500 Microplastics in the Endocrine system could have severe affects on many aspects of your life and make you feel worse generally. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36775 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36775 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:24:12 -0500 The effect of this problem is for everyone that lives on the planet. It also can get in to almost everything. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36774 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36774 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:22:45 -0500 The Blood Brain barrier lets you control any foreign objects in your blood from entering the brain. The fact that plastic can get in is significant. https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36773 https://writingpartners.net/documents/5032?scroll_to=36773 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:20:47 -0500 Orwell's prediction was that technology would be more advanced. This assumption was correct technology is very different than the time. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2020/11/heres-how-technology-has-changed-and-changed-us-over-the-past-20-years/ https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=35898 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=35898 Tue, 04 Feb 2025 10:58:15 -0500 This shows that he is becoming less aligned with the party and more thinking of rebellion. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33394 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33394 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:24:36 -0500 They are just using the 3 as scapegoats to create a common enemy. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33390 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33390 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:23:40 -0500 This is making a claim that humans have an instinctive nature and have some sense on what's true and what's not. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33385 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33385 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:23:04 -0500 I was reading something similar to this in Foundation, by Isaac Asimov. Where they used access to medicine as a way to control the populace. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33375 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33375 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:21:47 -0500 This is referring to how the proles are given the semblance of more freedom so they are content with their lives and won't rebel. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33364 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33364 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:19:56 -0500 This seems similar to events with the capital riot. Where people were so convinced of a lie that it became truth to them. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33355 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=33355 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 11:52:32 -0500 How can I focus more on the melting pot metaphor? https://writingpartners.net/documents/4036?scroll_to=32681 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4036?scroll_to=32681 You've done a commendable job using evidence to support your line of reasoning about Sonia Sotomayor's rhetorical choices in her speech. Your analysis of her diction, especially her deliberate use of Spanish words such as "morcilla" and "la lengua y orejas de cuchifrito," effectively illustrates her Latina identity. By contrasting this with the more familiar American experiences, you show how she bridges her cultural heritage with her American identity. In the next section, you could delve deeper into the impact of her familial anecdotes—like family holidays and movie outings—to further explain how these experiences embody universal themes of food and family. This can strengthen your argument about the shared values she emphasizes. Would you like to explore more about how you can refine your analysis, perhaps by focusing on symbolic elements like the "melting pot" metaphor, or would you like to discuss how to make your conclusions more impactful?

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 16:26:39 -0500 How well did I respond to the prompt with a thesis that analyzes the writer’s rhetorical choices? https://writingpartners.net/documents/4036?scroll_to=32652 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4036?scroll_to=32652 Your thesis effectively addresses the prompt by highlighting Sonia Sotomayor's rhetorical choices. You note her use of diction, cultural values, and American ideals to argue that her identity enhances her judicial capabilities. This is a solid foundation. However, you can strengthen it by explicitly stating how these rhetorical choices convey her message about identity. For instance, you could mention how her use of Spanish and English illustrates her bicultural experience, emphasizing her unique perspective as a Latina judge. What else would you like to explore? We can dive into how your essay supports your thesis with evidence, examine how you explain the rhetorical situation, or discuss ways to enhance your grammar and punctuation.

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 16:21:20 -0500 I thought that the inclusion of this was interesting and I wonder if the author included this to relate to the feeling he himself was feeling about writing a dystopian. https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=31781 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=31781 Thu, 09 Jan 2025 17:16:57 -0500 The diffraction of light is when light will bend around an obstacle. https://writingpartners.net/documents/3347?scroll_to=25525 https://writingpartners.net/documents/3347?scroll_to=25525 Tue, 03 Dec 2024 11:18:45 -0500 Dielectric material are materials that can't conduct but can hold electric charges. Bandgap is the amount of energy that requires an electron to jump to the next level of the atoms valence shell. This jump produces light. https://writingpartners.net/documents/3347?scroll_to=25517 https://writingpartners.net/documents/3347?scroll_to=25517 Tue, 03 Dec 2024 11:15:10 -0500 It seems like officials are taking a lot more precautions to make sure the election is fair compared to the last election. https://writingpartners.net/documents/2862?scroll_to=18815 https://writingpartners.net/documents/2862?scroll_to=18815 Tue, 05 Nov 2024 20:57:22 -0500 It seems like PBS is showing more Democratic leads in states in the panel at the bottom of the screen. This makes sense because they lean left. https://writingpartners.net/documents/2862?scroll_to=18801 https://writingpartners.net/documents/2862?scroll_to=18801 Tue, 05 Nov 2024 20:53:18 -0500 When Trump is talking about how he will cut costs, he never specifies how just says that Republicans have a plan. This is similar to what George Orwell was saying and how Trump just falls back on similar phrases like slashing costs and reducing prices. https://writingpartners.net/documents/772?scroll_to=3342 https://writingpartners.net/documents/772?scroll_to=3342 Tue, 10 Sep 2024 11:20:50 -0400
