Part C Now, use your notes from parts A and B to draft an argumentative essay that takes a position on the topic and answers this question: Should we use alternative sources of energy instead of conventional ones? Write your essay in 200 to 250 words.

ANSWER:
People use energy every day. Can you even imagine trying to get through a day without electricity? However, there’s a problem with the energy we use: eventually, it will run out. So what can we do to keep our cars, phones, televisions, and other energy-dependent items running well into the future?

What we need to do is start using alternative sources of energy, such as the sun, water, heat from the earth, wind, and plants. Energy generated from these sources is renewable and doesn’t cause harm to the environment. In contrast, fossil fuels take “millions of years” to form, according to “Energy Sources” by Jennifer Greene. In addition, fossil fuels “release harmful gases,” states Jason Eagleson in “Alternative Energy Sources.” Some people say that it costs too much and takes too long to switch from using conventional energy to using renewable sources. However, that argument isn’t very strong when you consider the country of Denmark. According to Eagleson, Denmark has managed to shift from using oil to “generate 92 percent of the energy it needed” to using wind farms and other renewable sources to create nearly half of the energy it consumes.

It is unlikely that we will become less dependent on energy in the future. Therefore, it’s important to start using renewable sources of energy. Otherwise, we may one day find ourselves living through not just one day but an eternity without electricity.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (scientific data);

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.

no, i never do because that’s not the reason for what i speak to or of.
