Montanaro, Domenico. “Who Is Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's Pick For The Supreme Court?” NPR, NPR, 10 July 2018, www.npr.org/2018/07/09/626164904/who-is-brett-kavanaugh-president-trumps-pick-for-the-supreme-court.

The primary purpose of this article to is to state Kavanaugh’s views, varying from his place of birth to his previous experiences in law. He touches each aspect of his career and views without bias by strictly stating his accomplishments and his flaws without expressing his opinion. He cites credible sources, such as the Scotus blog and Kavanaugh’s own words so he doesn’t catch any bias. Additionally, he is succinct about every point he must make and does not get caught in up in the details unless it is necessary.
The audience for this article is mainly for people who are politically involved and curious about the new potential Supreme Court judge. It is not targeted for a specific age group particularly but intended for intellectuals who are not caught up in the buzz about Kavanaugh and want to know rudimentary information about him to see if he is suitable for such a big position.

@ProtectOurCare. “Brett Kavanaugh was hand-picked to be a rubber stamp on @realDonaldTrump’s anti-health care agenda. That’s why health care is on the line if Kavanaugh is confirmed. Call @LisaMurkowski and ask her to vote NO on #BrettKavanaugh! ☎907-271-3735 ☎#STOPKavanaugh #WhatsAtStake" Twitter, 27 Aug. 2018, 6:41 a.m., https://twitter.com/ProtectOurCare/status/1034550943248003073.

Protect Our Care is an organization that is set out to strictly go against Republican’s views and protect healthcare for all particularly women. This tweet by them clearly represents their views and since Brett Kavanaugh is a republican and conservative, they do not agree about his views regarding abortion and healthcare. Below this tweet, they included a video about a woman who is severely sick and is worried about the repercussions about being in the hospital. She sits there and looks off in the distance and is concerned about her side effects, including the bills she will have to pay if she does not have proper healthcare.
This tweet is intended to stir emotions and excite readers to vote against Kavanaugh. The video evokes the viewers’ emotional side by displaying a woman who cannot support herself anymore and is upset about her physical and financial conditions. Additionally, the video uses dreary hues, such as a dull blue and grays to indirectly set a dull and sad mood for the entirety of the video. By posting this video, Protect Our Care hopes to reach out to as many people as possible, but primarily is exposed to the youth and young adults due to the medium, Twitter.

Notable Experience, Prickles and Goo

      The first day I went without my phone was excruciating. My phone habits become even stronger when I do homework because I become the most distracted and bored then. I would instinctively reach for my phone when I want a mini break, but I would have to stop my mind and my hand from reaching it. The thing is, I would want to take a mini break quite often. If I was stuck on a question, I would want to scroll through my Instagram. If I answered a question to my heart’s content, I would open my Snapchat and reply to my streaks.       According to the CNN article, “Smartphone addiction could be changing your brain,” it elaborates the different ways your phone could be affecting your brain. At one point, Dr. Max Wintermark, a Stanford neuroradiologist, “Altogether, this means that if you are too dependent on your smartphone, you are basically damaging your ability to be attentive.”       If I had read this article earlier before the expe...

Inquiry Essay Topic

When I was at home, my parents would always yell at me that I’m on my phone way too much. But to be honest, I really wasn’t, I would check my phone three or four times to just check my notifications. Furthermore, after college started this year, my four-year-old phone started lagging and stopped supporting older versions of my social media apps which discouraged me from checking my phone. Once I slowly started dropping hints to my parents that my phone was preventing me from communicating and having access to some key apps, they surprised me with a brand-new phone that I instantly fell in love with. And because of that, I couldn’t take my hands off the slim, curved reflective device.             I noticed myself getting a little out of control and my parents had a gut feeling that I would. So, before I left to come back from Labor Day weekend, my dad told me that the best way is to have control over your phone and not have the p...

Radical Honesty

Firstly, this paper does a good job of explaining her topic. She eases the reader in with a decent hook, then introduces her personal issue to tackle. She explains elaborately with outside sources to show that it is a valid problem to fix for herself, and it would be beneficial in the end for others to follow what she did as well.             She also explains what she will do in her experiment fairly well. Although the instructions are simple – not to tell white lies and fight her impulse to – she recounts her difficult experiences that had trouble telling her complete truth.             One of the things I mainly liked was her story telling ability. Additionally she was able to recall an atypical situation that you wouldn’t think of, such as when she ended up being completely honest with her ex, and decided to room with him. Like, no one, including her, would expect that...
