Ælfs Paper
1. a) The main point is to prove that the Anthropogenic Climate Disorder is real and it is serious.
b) The thesis statement is clearly stated through out the first paragraph.
2. a) The artic ice extent change, how it is warmer in winter, global warming, the troposphere and stratosphere changing temperatures, CO2 levels and the oceans warming, if everyone can change their routines then we might be able to pause global warming for a bit, even though we can't stop it.
b) There are graphs, a speech made by a Professor.
c) All of the reasons are very sufficient and plausible, they fit in perfectly.
3. a) There are a few counterarguments brought up about how it is too late to stop Global Warming, and how one human being wont make a big difference.
b) She refutes the first argument by saying that although we can't stop global warming we can either make it worse or reduce the amount of CO2 we are putting into the atmosphere. For the second argument she says that if you start being more aware of what you are doing it might cause more and more people to do it. It will turn into the ripple effect that will benefit the world.
c) The writer does take into consideration with the opposing statements because one of them is true but she mentions how you can maintain the greenhouse gasses and still save the earth.
d) Her arguments are appropriate for the circumstances.
4. a) Each source is incorporated into her writing fluently, they aren't put at the end of sentences to show where she got it from. She put them into her writing to make them seem more credible.
b) All of her sources seem credible, except that she used Wikipedia, which is not always reliable but since she knows what she is talking about it works, she would be able to tell right from wrong.
c) They all seem current, which for this topic if it has information from ten years ago from global climate change then it is still going on today, so it really doesn't matter as much.
5. a) The writer makes sure that the reader will understand what she is talking about, there is background information and I also assume that the majority of people living have a small idea about global warming, whether it is good or bad.
b) The language does include the reader, because it does apply to the world today and how WE can change it by doing certain things. So yes I felt really included in this paper.
c) Yes the author and I share many beliefs, in fact, I did my argument paper on recycling and how we can help the world in the future.
