My purpose of this paper was to really get the point across to people that airsoft guns are very dangerous if not used in the correct way. The audience I aimed this toward was the Chronicle of Higher Education. I decided to start my paper of with brief introduction on airsoft guns and how they are fun, yet dangerous at the same time. Then I stated my thesis. My next couple paragraphs were background information on airsoft guns. I then did a rebuttal paragraph on how airsoft guns are just a “toy” and gives kids a chance to exercise. After this I made three bold statements stating my side on airsoft: it causes eye injuries, it can be made into an actual weapon, and that kids are getting shot because cops think they are real guns. My paragraphs were very short and to the point, since that was the style of writing for this paper. I added a lot of angry tone to this paper to really try to get my point across. In the last paragraph I stated a potential way to solve this problem. I decided to send my rough draft and final draft to both my mom and my friend to look for any grammar errors or to see if they had any more ideas that I could add.
Personally, I think this project was definitely harder then the last. I definitely learned to start early because the research part of this assignment took longer then I expected! I think my strengths for this project was that I had three very strong points to support my position on airsoft guns. My weakness was that I probably could have found a little more research, just to help support my point even more. Like I said before, for my next paper, I am gong to start early especially on my research! I also plan on sending my drafts to a couple of my friends to look over my grammar or see if they have any new ideas they think I should add. My goal for next paper is to get a 4.0!
