Personal Experiences: A Fictional Narrative
Richard held Lexi's sweat–slicked body against his, tenderly kissing and caressing as they both
came down from the heights of pleasure. Content to have seemingly satiated her needs as much as
she had his, the Hacker possessed not the slightest inkling that her assumption of control stemmed
not purely from desire, but because of Karl Williams. A man Richard despised, but who had also
recently been allowed the satisfaction of bringing Lexi to orgasm by fucking her with a roughness
much more brutal than that she'd denied him. Mustn't that mean, at least in some way, she'd enjoyed
it? Despite his love for Alexandra, that question would likely always prey on Richard's mind if the
truth ever emerged.
"Keep surprising me." Richard responded with a drowsy grin, feeling the pace of Lexi's pulse slow
under her skin, and watched her eyelids close. Only after she was on her way to dreamland, did
Richard close his own eyes, the image of the faint smile on Lexi's face that his last comment had
elicited imprinted in his mind as he fell into a deep, restful sleep, Alexandra safe in his embrace.
Consciousness arrived with the filtering of the sunlight through the hotel room window. The
Hacker's eyes fluttered open and closed, and he yawned, flinging his arm sleepily across in search
for Lexi. When his hand instead hit nothing but cool

Exiting a couple of minutes later, hair neatly combed, and looking and feeling more awake, he
approached Lexi, slid his arms around her from behind, kissed the back of her neck, and fixed a
coffee. "Sleep well?" Arching a brow, the Hacker sensed a tension in the air. It may have been more
imagined than real, but for Richard the pleasurable memories of the night had begun to fade,
replaced by the reality of the reasons behind their early morning rise, and it made him ever more
impatient to leave the confines of the claustrophobic hotel

Cover In Frankenstein

Hanson
INTRO: The phrase "do not judge a book by its cover" is a widely recognized idea the majority of
people keep in their peripheral mind when introduced with a new idea. The initial perceptions we
make solely on someone's outward appearances are out of our control, as it is a natural connection
our brain makes between presentation and character. Though we cannot control what we
instinctually comprehend, keeping an open mind is important, especially when meeting someone
new.
In the works Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, the
physical appearances of our main antagonists, Erik, and "The Creature", are difficult to overcome
for the average soul. Through subjective

Frankenstein, suffered a similar, uncaring fate. When The Creature first rises from dormancy, he is
promptly turned away by a fearful Frankenstein who locks himself in his room. (pg. 35–36)
He is shamed into living in solitude, fearful that he will be ostracized if he attempts to set foot on the
surface. Over the years of tormenting those who reside in the Opera house, he earns the reputation
of "opera ghost" due to his unseen and spectral nature. It is shown in numerous occasions that even
referring to him as "opera ghost" is somewhat taboo. (p.14)
As a result of their unfortunate upbringing, Erik and the Creature grow to resent humanity for its
poor treatment of them. In the Creatures case, a couple specific instances stand out which fuel his
desire for revenge. When he reveals himself to the De Lacey family
, he is attacked and forced to flee
for his own safety as well as theirs. He soon returns, only to find the cottage empty. He proceeds to
burn it down out of hurt and rage. This is a good example of his explosive nature, and how he is
compelled to act on his emotions rather than use logic.
"For the first time feelings of revenge and hatred filled my bosom... I bent my mind towards injury
and death." – The Creature, Frankenstein pg.

The Failure Of The Soviet Union
There is a myriad of factors that accounted for the dissolution of the USSR, and the consolidation of
capitalist superiority from 1991 onwards after the fall of an autocracy, and demise of a disunited
provisional government. The official declaration of the termination of the Soviet Union was
December 26 1991; this collapse was addressed by the west as the defeat of communism, and the
end of the Cold War
. To understand how and why this previously prosperous nation came to fall it is
important to look at the major factors contributing to this disarray. I will examine the economic and
ethnic problems the Soviet Union faced, as well as the problems with those in power.
After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the newly formed government had a philosophy

Communism is described as " a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all
property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state. "
In some countries this system worked, but what the Soviet Union failed to do was to instill the
ideology of Communism into the heart and minds of its population, an anonymous Soviet citizen
said, "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work," Showing the lack of motivation amongst the
citizens, and lack of enthusiasm in the system. Not only was there no productivity, but also in the
middle of the 1980's approximately seventy percent of industrial output of the Soviet Union was
going to the military, causing severe shortages of the industrial goods for the rest of the economy,
and failing to meet the needs of the State resulting in acute poverty. In the end the Soviet people
became more cynical about their government and only felt distrust towards them, this and the fact
that the Soviet Union failed to produce a stable economy led to economic decline, eventually
demanding the necessity to

Girl Interrupted Essay example
Girl, Interrupted Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious psychiatric illness. People that
are diagnosed with this disorder suffer from an intense pattern of affective instability, extreme
difficulties in interpersonal relationships, problems with behavioral or impulse control, and
disrupted cognitive processes. The estimated prevalence of BPD in the general adult population is
about 2%, mostly affecting young women. Susanna Kaysen was born on November 11, 1948 in
Cambridge, Massachusetts to Carl and Annette Kaysen. Susanna attended high school at the
Commonwealth School in Boston, and also The Cambridge School. In 1967, at the age of 18 she
was sent to McLean Hospital to undergo psychiatric treatment for depression. She was

Distortions in thinking and sense of self are a part of this disorder. Suzanna exhibits this throughout
the movie. While Susanna is talking with her therapist in the hospital, she tells him that she has no
bones in her hands, and when he asked her how she opened the bottle of aspirin her response was
that they just reappeared. People with BPD often have suicide attempts and substance abuse in their
history, along with self–mutilation. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored,
empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel
isolated and lacking in social support, and may result in frantic efforts to avoid being alone by acting
out. People with BPD exhibit other impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating
and risky sex. She exhibits spontaneous damaging behaviors that are mainly sexual. She has an
affair with her English professor who was married. And also has sex with two different guys in one
day. This disorder occurs in most by early adulthood. The unstable pattern of interacting with others
persists for years and is usually closely related to the person's self–image and early social
interactions. The pattern is present in a variety of settings, and often is accompanied by a similar
fluctuation in a person's emotions and feelings. Relationships and the person's emotion may often be
characterized as being shallow. People with BPD often have odd thinking and

Humanity
Humanity is a part of everyday life, but what if your humanity was lost? All throughout the human
existence, there has been humanity. In the time period of humanity, humanity was put to the test.
Mass genocides, cruel leaders, world wars, and many more have shown humanity at its lowest. It
shows how humanity is completely destroyed in times of injustice and war. Surviving Hitler, by
Andrea Warren and The Diary of Anne Frank by Goodrich and Hackett show how the Nazi party
dehumanized all Europeans that opposed the Nazi party and how they destroyed their humanity in
the process.
In the story Surviving Hitler by Andrea Warren, the main character Jack is living in the time of the
holocaust. During his lifetime he goes through many hardships

Van Daan has been taking food secretly from everyone while they have been sleeping. His greed
took away him common sense and his humanity a weathered down to nothing. His greed led him to
take from the ones who needed the food the most. The terror and dehumanization of the Nazi's
worked. They have scared and terrorized these everyday people into being greedy and forgetting
their sense of humanity.
Others may argue that humanity is not lost and destroyed in times of injustice and war, but they are
definitely wrong. "Before the war Jack had parents, a brother, a grandfather, uncles, aunts, and
cousins – eighty one people in all. Now, everyone except Jack's second cousins, Robert and Arek,
Aunt Hinda, Uncle Sigmund, and Jack was dead." "If I had known this when I was in the camps,
why would I have struggled so hard to live?" You cannot just think about the time in the camps. You
must think about the after effect and psychological problems that this could and have caused. You
can argue that they survived and they still have humanity because they are alive, but would you
want to keep living when you know that everyone that you had known before except 4 people are
dead? Where is the humanity in all of this?
All of these stories give examples of the dehumanization of the Nazi's. They took away their names,
their lives, and most of all their humanity. Imagine if you were in that situation. You are alive but do

What I Learned About Writing
Introduction: Lessons on Writing, and How I Learned Them When I signed up for this class (at the
last minute, I should add, after dropping out of an economics class), I had no idea what to expect
from a college–level creative writing course. I was excited to write creatively as a part of a group of
like–minded people, but I wondered about the academic aspect of the class: what exactly would I
learn about writing itself, and how would I learn it? Looking back now, I realize that through my
interactions with the readings we did, my critique of others work, and the feedback I received on my
own pieces, I have expanded my depth of knowledge on what is required to create great writing,
and, perhaps most importantly, I have learned that great writing can take a variety of forms.

Reading and discussing works such as "Cathedral" and "Helping" introduced me to a variety of
ways that writing can be effective. For instance, Ron Hansen's "Wickedness" has almost no dialogue
in it; meanwhile, "Helping" is effective in the way it primarily uses dialogue to reveal the characters'
backstories. Both pieces, however, are held in equally high regard, as they are both examples of
effective – if not opposite – styles of writing. All of the stories we read, despite their differences,
contained shared traits that made them pleasing to read, such as verisimilitude, effective word use,
and overall creativity. By reading and discussing them in class, I was able to absorb these elements
of strong writing and incorporate them into my own

Survival is a very dominant genre when it comes to movies and books. Many award winning novels
and films have been about survival. it is perceived clearly in the movies The Hunger Games and
Gravity, the book Gone
The film Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuarón identifies the theme 'Survival in a dystopian or
unusual setting'. This is portrayed through character Dr. Ryan Stone. She is the sole survivor of a
shuttle mission after flying debris from a destroyed Russian satellite wipes out her entire ship along
with all the crew. Her will to live grows, as well as her audacity and bravery, as her hallucinations
and memories of her devastating past continue to haunt her memory. When she talks to herself, she

understand her courage and persistence when she is thrust into many dangerous situations. "Either I
make it down there in one piece and I have one hell of a story to tell. Or I burn up in the next ten
minutes. Either way, whichever way, no harm no foul. Cos either way,

Katniss knows what she's in for and, just like Dr. Stone, isn't prepared to throw her life away. She
uses her tactful thinking a hunting skills to survive in her new treacherous environment. "I told her
that I would try to win. That I would try to win for her." In this quote, about talking to her sister

Tecumseh Essay example
Tecumseh ,Shawnee war chief, was born at Old Piqua, on the Mad River in western Ohio. In 1774,
his father, Puckeshinwa, was killed at the Battle of Point Pleasant, and in 1779 his mother,
Methoataske, accompanied those Shawnees who migrated to Missouri, later died. Raised by an older
sister, Tecumpease, Tecumseh would play war games with other fellow youths in his tribe.
Tecumseh accompanied an older brother, Chiksika, on a series of raids against frontier settlements in
Kentucky and Tennessee in the late 1780's. Chiksika had a vision that he would not survive the
battle at Buchanan's station he went ahead as plan and attacked the stockade and was mortally
wounded and was carried from the battle field and the dying warrior asked not to be

Tecumseh slowly transformed his brother's religious following into a political movement. In 1808
Tecumseh and the Prophet moved their village to the juncture of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers,
where the new settlement, Prophetstown, continued to attract Indians. After the loss of much Indian
land at the Treaty of Fort Wayne, Tecumseh gradually eclipsed his brother as the primary leader of
the movement. He traveled throughout the Midwest urging tribes to form a political confederacy to
prevent any further erosion of their lands. In November 1811, while Tecumseh was in the South
attempting to recruit the Creeks into his confederacy, U.S. forces marched against Prophetstown. In
the subsequent Battle of the Tippecanoe they defeated the Prophet, burned the settlement, and
destroyed the Indians' food supplies. After returning from the South Tecumseh tried to rebuild his
shattered confederacy. But when the War of 1812 broke out, he withdrew to Michigan where he
assisted the British in the capture of Detroit and led pro–British Indians in small actions in southern
Michigan and northern Ohio (Fort Meigs). When William Henry Harrison invaded Upper Canada,
Tecumseh reluctantly accompanied the British retreat. He was killed by American forces at the
Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. Although they never found the body of

Then, turning my head again I saw Simon dive to my aid. He did not utter a single word but just
gave a faint grin then promptly looked down at my leg and set to work. He freed me and with a little
help I made it to the safety of the next shell hole. I owed him my life.
Simon refused to stop. He climbed up again to help the others. I tried to tug him back but my efforts
were worthless; seen as I was wounded. Gun shots and shell fire pounded my ears like a right hand
from a heavy weight boxer. I will never forget the next sound I heard. I knew it was the end so I
looked up at the morning sun and prayed towards the heavens. I could hear the screams penetrating
throughout my mind.
Now I'm standing here about to march on to fight in another war, fighting for my dear friend. When
will man kind learn? Now, however, I fear this time I might not be so lucky, especially now, without
Simon, who I did not even get a chance to thank for saving my life. Now I try to put the thoughts out
of my mind with a tear in my eye turning away from the other soldiers so they cannot see.
I can see a large church in front of me and can hear the sounds of children playing. I begin to think

World War 2 Home Front Research Paper

Mr. Langford
US History: Period 6
27 February 2016
WWII Home Front: The Key to Victory
The path to Allied victory in World War II wasn't solely due to the soldiers fighting on the frontline,
but also a result of the people fighting at the home front as well. When Pearl Harbor was attacked on
December 7 of 1941, the United States were forced to enter the war and panic gripped the country as
a whole and made many fear of plausible attacks to the United States. However, instead of just
cowering in fear, the majority of Americans converted this fear into their acceptance that the only
way to win this war, was to fight back through their very own, home front. The home front was the
war efforts back in the United States, in which many Americans made imperative sacrifices that
turned the tide of victory in favor of the United States and Allies. This is evident in the fact that
Americans resorted to the rationing of supplies at home, employing women in the defense plants,
and buying war bonds to pay for and support the war effort. Thus, the home front was crucial in the
United State's

From the beginning of World War II, it became quite evident that mass amounts of weapons and
vehicles would be needed in order to defeat the Axis powers. Due to this necessity, approximately
2.5 million women were hired to work in shipyards, aircraft factories and such manufacturing and
defense plants. As a result of these 2.5 million women in the war factories, approximately 90,000
navy vessels, 80,000 tanks and 300,000 aircrafts and much more were made during those warring
years. These mass war productions showed that the home front was a crucial aspect to the United
States attaining victory during World War II, due to the fact that it allowed the United States to grow
in numbers and

Summary Mastery Evaluation
After being challenged to compare my scores on two summaries, I noticed that, for the most part,
my scores improved. The most noticeable improvements were from the "summary mastery" and
"style" categories, where I scored higher on Summary 2 than Summary 1. Applying for the Osprey
Writing Badge has made me aware and has confirmed that my writing in this course thus far has
improved. To begin, my score from the "summary mastery" category improved from a 2 to a 4.
Whenever I was writing summary 1, summarizing in such a professional way was very new to me.
At the time, I was not aware of including several points and examples to back up my main idea
because I did not study the rubric, like I should have. In Summary 1, my central idea did not relate
to the main points I included and I did not provide enough supporting

When writing Summary 1, the concept of "style" was still fresh on my mind because I had never
learned about the specifics, until this class. After rereading Summary 1, I noticed that I used
simplistic sentences, my word choice was not fully developed, and I used passive voice in some of
my sentences. I did not receive any peer advice on style, so I tried hard to study my sentences in
Summary 2 and make corrections. Whenever I was writing my Summary 2, I read each of my
sentences aloud to make sure the style sounded appropriate. I made my sentences more complex,
added variety, used active verbs, and used a more mature word choice. For example, in Summary 2,
I made this sentence more complex and used active verbs, "They state disabled students face
barriers while receiving education, which lead to lack of support from faculty and peers, lack in
financial support, and lack of participation." I have not mastered the "style" category yet, but I have
improved. I am still working on making my diction precise, instead of having an iffy choice of
words that do not flow great

Personal Narrative- Making Positive Changes Essay
Personal Narrative– Making Positive Changes
I have positive attributes and weaknesses as everyone else does. However, since I came from Peru to
America, I experienced many changes in my personality from a shy girl to an independent, outgoing
and friendly teenager. My strongest personal attributes are generosity, my spirit of collaboration and
my perseverance to achieve any goals and overcome obstacles in my life. For example, when I was
in Peru I used to go to a hospital to help children with disabilities. I used to visit them very often. I
played with them so that they could forget for a while about their sickness

People might say that I am not that talkative. When I was in school I wasn't the kind of girl who
goes and talks to everyone, unless I knew the person. I always had to wait for someone to start a
conversation with me. That's why in some way it was hard for me to make friends as a child,
because of my shyness.
When my parents decided to come here, it was kind of a shock for me. First of all, the language and
the challenge to start a new life, meet new people and adapt myself to the new and different customs
worried me. Here in the United States, the fact that I didn't speak English really well made the high
school separate me from the other students, putting me into a different program; ESL. This program
helped me a lot, because the teacher encourage us to not give up. She told us that it is good to
experience sometimes some changes in our lives. That's how we can learn more and improve
ourselves. She also talked with the principal about doing a diversity program to help ESL students
integrate more with the rest of the school. She encouraged us to talk about and to feel proud of the
differences in our cultures. By overcoming this huge change, this experience made me grow more
inside as a person.
Now, I am more independent, a little bit more outgoing and friendly. I'm more independent in the
way that I have a job and I don't depend anymore on my parent's money. I can buy and have all what
I want, but always keeping in mind to save for tomorrow. The

Summer Program Application Essay
The reason as to why I am applying for this summer program is because of the opportunity that it
provides. Programs such as these gives the unique opportunity to explore multiple different career
paths. But, not only does it provide a learning opportunity, it also allows a cultural one. Being able
to travel and live in a foreign country at such a young age is one of the most memorable and
amazing things that you can do. I believe that if accepted into this program, that I will do my very
best to prove myself dedicated as a student because I want to spend my life learning and preparing
myself for the real world as a careered woman. I have not yet solidified what I would like to be in

I have always loved looking and participating in art classes, although I am not the best artist, and I
enjoy learning about the history behind different art techniques. But I think that international
relations would be something that is absolutely amazing to learn about because through this I could
learn about the connections and effects that occur between so many different nations, and learn
about how they interact with one another. I feel like I could provide an interesting perspective to this
program, for the main reason of having been apart of programs similar to this one during previous
summers. I work well with others, and I always try to keep an open mind as to avoid biases and to
be more empathetic and understanding towards others. I am very adaptive to my surroundings even
if that means changing topics within a classroom discussion. Something else about me is that I am
what is known as an ambivert. This means that I sit in the scale between being and introvert and an

Wonderful Kids Program Research Paper
Wonderful Kids Program, the destination families program also utilizes mental health services in the

(75%) of foster youth suffer from severe emotional disturbances" and additionally 65% of foster
youth were evaluated as needing mental services but would rarely receive them ("The Foster Care
Crisis."). The mental health team in the Destination Family program specifically focuses on
teenagers and helps these teens process through their past loss and grief, attachment and bonding
difficulties, along with support and stabilizing the teenagers. They also assist in preparing teenagers
for permanency and helping them understand the importance of finding a forever family. The

Though most of the programs are meant to be beneficial we must look at the money we are spending
on them and if they are producing positive outcomes. If not, why do we have those programs?
Should we get rid of all foster care programs that help teens? Or, should they just be reformed? We
can't believe that programs discussed like AB 12 are beneficial for foster teenagers. This program
may work for some foster teenagers, but not all of them. Throwing money into a program just so
foster teenagers have money is not effective. For a program to be effective, it really needs to look at
what the foster teenagers need. Foster teenagers need to be able to learn important independent
living skills such as housekeeping, cooking, job skills, time management, shopping, laundry, and
budgeting. There are some programs such as the Independent Living Program (ILP) that teaches
this, but how much can a teenager really learn from a couple lesson plans? These are skills that they
would learn from their parents if it was in a traditional household that would take time, nurturing,

Cerebral Palsy Research Paper
Cerebral Palsy is a rage of different neurological disorders that affects the part of the brain that
controls all muscle movement in the body. It is estimated that over 500,000 adults have CP, and over
8,000 infants and toddlers are diagnosed with the disease every year. Almost all children who are
diagnosed with the disorder, they are born with it. Cerebral Palsy appears most often during infancy
or while the affected child is still relatively young. According to the National Institute of

During the mid eighteen–hundreds a doctor by the name of William John Little began the study of
CP due to the lack of knowledge about a disease he possessed himself as a child. It was then that he
and other doctors that worked alongside him, uncovered the many different parts of the disease.
Years later he published a book by the name of "On the Nature and Treatment of Deformities of the
Human Frame." Due to the lack of writing on the subject, Cerebral Palsy was named Little's Disease
for many years. In later times, Sir William Owens wrote and published a book in the topic titled
"Cerebral Palsies of Children." and decided not to refer to the disease as "Little's Disease" but chose
Cerebral Palsy instead. For a long time it was undetermined whether or not CP was a disease that
was caused due to lack of oxygen to the brain during and after birth, or if instead it was a
neurological disease that developed in the brain during this gestation period. In the 1980s it was
proved that CP could be developed more likely during pregnancy, rather than after

I will repeat the steps for the vegetable, fruit, diary, meat and fat/oil groups. I would have pre–
laminated food cuts for children take turns putting them into the right groups. Using the pyramid, I
would ask the children what food is healthy and can help them grow. We would make a list of
healthy snacks for the classroom. I would allow them to come up with the list as I write them on the
board. If there is one that is not a healthy snack, I would ask the class if anybody notice any
unhealthy snacks on the list. Then I would remove the unhealthy snack. I can have the children write
down what kinds of food they have at home and what food groups they fit into. Another lesson I can
teach to children is the meals of the day. I would focus on breakfast, luch and dinner. For breakfast, I
would ask the children to tell me what they had for breakfast before they came to school. Then I
would ask them about the favorite breakfast. I would repeat the questions for lunch and dinner. I
would split the class up into three groups, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have them brainstorm
what food from the food pyramid they have for either meal
. They can also mention foods that are
not on the pyramid, so children can learn about different food in different cultures. They can utilize
the toy food from the kitchen center for the activity. During a daycare observation, I notice the
children each brought in different vegetables. They were going to make a salad after learning

American Identity Examples
An American Identity "Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave. O'er the land and of the free,
and the home of the brave." These words from our beloved national anthem, are words that this
country chooses to live by. Ladies and gentlemen will remove their caps, and then all rise for the
playing of the Star Spangled Banner. Most Americans have become comfortable about this right and
pleasure that we have. To be able to show respect for the ones who aren't here, and can't even stand
to do so. One professional American football player had another agenda for this time. He decided to
kneel instead of stand like we have all become accustomed to. In my generation, we take our
freedom and rights for granted. We do this, because we never had

In the fourteen years that I have been on this Earth, America has been very fortunate. Of course we
have has very tragic things happen, but none that I can remember vividly. I asked my grandma if she
could remember where she was and what she was doing when 9/11 occurred. " ASK GRANDMA
ABOUT 9/11." It's times like that, that i have never experienced for myself, and I am grateful that I
haven't. Though, when Colin Kaepernick didn't stand to show his respect, it hit me like a ton of
bricks. I just remember thinking, " We are so fortunate, what more could he want. There are other
countries that would hunt him down for doing this. Someone else died so that you could do what
you love." I know that I am not a saint, I question my rights all the time, but I would never act out
against what I am so lucky to have. Although some may say that he was just exercising his right. He
has a freedom of speech and there is nothing that he did wrong. I would agree legally he did nothing
wrong, but what about morally. Has my generation been lost in the woods for so long that we can't
see the trail that could lead us out? We all have such strong opinions, that we refuse to listen to the
other. We choose to always fight instead of just being at peace with what we

Inductive Argument
In the first part of the assignment we were asked to identify components of arguments, premise and
conclusion, for the passages. Where applicable we are to highlight key words or phrases that identify
a claim as a premise or a conclusion. A premise is the support for the conclusion. (Missimer, 2005)
The first example has several premises as follows if Sue's baby is a boy it will be named Mark and if
it is a girl it will be named Margaret. Another premise is that Sue will have a boy or girl. "So" is a
keyword indicating the conclusion that Sue's baby will be named Mark or Margaret. In the next
example, "because" is a keyword in the premise and indicates that the conclusion has preceded and a
reason will follow. This premise is that fantasy

In the last part of the assignment we are asked to identify the arguments as inductive or deductive.
An argument is said to be deductive if its conclusion is claimed to necessarily follow the premise.
An inductive argument claims only that its conclusion probably follows from its premises. That is,
the inferential claim is that since the premises are true or acceptable, the conclusion is likely to be
true or acceptable. (Missimer, 2005) The first and second examples are inductive because even
though the premises may be true, it is still possible for the conclusion to be false. They will then
have to be looked at to see if they are strong or weak and if all premises are true or if one or more is
false. We can then determine if the argument is reliable or unreliable. The third example is a
deductive argument if we go by the definition above. If the premises are true then it simply isn't
possible for the conclusion to be false. If you have a deductive argument and you accept the truth of
the premises, then you must also accept the truth of the conclusion; if you deny it, then you are
denying logic
