I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say that this whole common place thing seemed somewhat sketchy at first. I wasn’t sure about what it was for or how it worked so I checked it out to see what the hoop-la was about. The first article I read on there was an article referring to the misconception about pitbulls and the terror they cause. This article was an extreme eye opener about the persecution that these animals face daily. They have basically done though genocide or a holocaust. These are killed at will just because they are pitbulls. The excuse is that they are dangerous and violent animals. But the author begged to differ. They went on to describe the animals loving and caring nature and stated that of course, any animal that is abuse severely by humans would be hostile too. But if you raised one of these dogs from a puppy and loved and nurtured it. Im willing to bet that that dog would be crazy for you.
The passion that the author poured into this piece inspired me to do just the same. Hopefully, I can revise my RAP to hold such a strong stand about a subject and to convey readers as this one did to me. I read more and more articles on Common place and they are all short, easy, and extremely interesting reads. Its safe to say I could probably waste some on my internet time on here and instead of ESPN of facebook.

Although pit bulls are generally viewed as dangerous and hostile dogs, I definitely agree that if they are raised from puppies in a nice home and receive attention they would be less dangerous. No matter what though, they are strong dogs and have the potential to be dangerous. I also hope to do the same in my commonplace essay.
ReplyDeleteI think that being passionate about your topic is a key to making your public paper interesting. I too agree that all the commonplace articles are interesting, short, and an easy read. Good luck with your paper.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate...once I actually read an article, I spent about an hour looking around the site. All of the papers are quite compelling and humorous, and hopefully at least someone in our class can transform his or her paper into a commonplace piece. you sound really passionate about transforming your paper, which will definitely help. good luck!
