First Persuasive Paragraph

Students should/should not be given money to buy Christmas gifts for their friends

Student should be given money to buy thier friends gifts. It is the nice thing to do and a friend would greatly appreciate it. For things like Christmas or a birthday, having money to buy someone a gift is a huge help. The younger students who can't afford gift, or too young to have a job, where would they get the money? These reasons are really good and I think that if we really did get money to but gifts, it would be used good. It also should not be allowed to get money to buy someone a gift, it might be misused to buy something useless, or for themselves.

“Cranes” Songsam’s Defense Speech

I support my decision in letting Tokchae escape. At the time, we were walking and talking I started to remember the old days, and wonder what had he been up to sinc then. I defend my decision, because we were playmates forever since we were little. Additionally, I am confident that I made the right decision, because I would never let a man who pulled out acorn needles out of my butt! I am proud of myself that I know what was my responsibility in actions, he did nothing wrong, but be a farmer with a tittle put on him from others.
