Tompkins
Truthfully, I don’t like history. Usually when I read about it, it can never keep my attention. However, I actually enjoyed reading this article. Tompkins dilemma was she was getting people assumptions of what happened in the past to the European-Indian relations. I believe it is really hard to tell a story about something when you yourself were not even there to witness it. When doing research Tompkins had to filter through many articles and decipher with ones were good or not. Also, every writer has biased opinions, every person has bias opinions, it just our human nature. Therefore, Tompkins also had the challenge of filtering through bias. Through my research so far I do not believe I have came to this problem like Tompkins did. Tompkins topic was more intense than mine. When and if I would come into a problem like Tompkins I would have to go at it in the similar way she did, filter and research and find out who I can and can’t trust.

Voice
(Distant,balanced)
Its understanding that the parent care so much that they don’t want their child to get hurt. However, the parent so try to go a little easier on the child. You only get a childhood once. You wouldn’t want your child to grow up and regret not being able to do some things. Therefore, let children play with their friends.
(Involved, angry)
No! No! No! You should not tell a child they are not aloud to play football at playtime. This is just like taking their childhood away from them. In the long run you might run them away from you, which might be the best thing for them.
(comedic)
Are you kidding me? A parent is not going to let a child play sports at school during recess? If I was that child that would make me just want to play harder. I would end up being the start of the recess football team. I would even ask my parents come watch me at recess. Telling a child not to play sports at school is like taking his life away. Children in schools live and breathe recesses!
I am not totally sure which one I am going to use yet. I think I want to use distant and balanced. However, when I start writing it might turn into either one of the other two.

Fallacies
“Parents have lost perspective.”- Hasty generalization. Not all parents have lost perspective.
“Instead of just letting kids play, parents put on a lot of pressure to win," said Dave Johnson, president of the Wheaton Wings traveling youth soccer team. - Hasty generalization. Again some parents, just saying parents make it seems like all.
Parents sign up their four-year-olds for football training; fathers are willing to make a pact with the devil to secure a place for their son in the Arsenal under-12s. - Oversimplification. This sentence just bother me. I would have liked it more if they would have said parents would do almost anything.
I've seen it happen, at 14 or 15, they want girlfriends, they're going out all the time, they're having their first four or five pints, and they're not turning up for their matches. - Post hoc fallacy. Just because a teenager gets a girlfriend don’t mean that they are not going to want to play a certain sport anymore.
At school, he has instructed Ojay not to play football at playtime because of the risk of injuring his joints on the concrete playground. - Rationalization. I think this is just crazy! He is a child. How are you going to tell a child not to play during playtime with their friends?

Ballenger Article
The Ballenger article showed me a how to take something like a big picture and just force on one thing in the picture. Therefore in our research paper, so of our topics are very broad and we need to narrow it down and focus on one idea. I really like how Ballenger used photography to get his points out. It really helped me picture it in my mind.
