Brainstorming (Crisis)

Crisis 

When I hear crisis I think about:

  1. Pandemic- 
  2. Unemployment
  3. Financial crisis
  4. Fire
  5. Natural disaster
  6. Bankruptcy
  7. Earthquake
  8. Lockdown
  9. State of emergency
  10. Increase in crime rate
  11. Starvation
  12. Family
  13. Violence
  14. Workplace
  15. deaths
Grouping
  1. Natural disaster- fire, earthquake
  2. Pandemic- state of emergency, lockdown, death (can also cause financial crisis)
  3. Financial crisis- bankruptcy, unemployment, increase in crime rate, starvation
I find that this exercise on brainstorming actually prepared me for writing on the topic. The most challenging thing for me was confidence in my thoughts. It was a struggle trusting that the information is correct. I was second-guessing the first thing that came to my mind. Although I know the information doesn't have to make sense the first time. I couldn't help but wanting it to be perfect. Despite my struggles, I was able to group my thoughts together which ended up making sense. I fully understand the need for brainstorming because it sums up everything that I can possibly write about.

I like how she included that she too was getting into the habit of smoking but stopped after she encountered a severe soar throat. Her daughter knows that smoking kills, she was what her grandfather went through but she was already addicted and hoping she can overcome the addiction before it is too late.

What is an introduction? An introduction is the first paragraph of an essay.  What is the purpose of an introduction? The main purpose is to lead the readers to the thesis statement to capture their interest in reading on.  Is the introduction the most important part of an essay? Why? I think this is the most important part of an essay because it determines whether the reader is interested to read on or not. What are the elements that you would use when writing your essay? Elements of an essay: Thesis Statement Outline Introduction Body Conclusion Example of an Introduction. I feel like the world would be a better place if the production and sales of cigarettes were made illegal in Antigua and Barbuda. Don't you agree? Cigarettes are deadly and legal. Whereas cannabis can be used for medical purposes, yet it is illegal but decriminalized. I say legalize it, what do you say?

The Ugly Truth About Beauty by Dave Barry(pg. 568)

I definitely did not regret reading on.
