For your argumentative essay, you are to choose a topic you are passionate about and one where you can take a side. Here are a few example topics. You may use one of these if you would like, or you can choose your own:

Are violent video games bad?
Is social media bad for relationships?
Do you think that smoking should be illegal?
Do you think that gym class should be required?
Your essay should include a clearly stated claim, reasons to support the claim, and evidence to validate the claim. A counterclaim is acknowledged and rebutted or conceded. The conclusion reinforces the claim. Your essay should use formal language and professional style. Transitions are used to connect parts of the argument.

The reader can infer from the Article that __________.


A.The word "selfie" was first used at a time when people took photos of themselves with cameras that used traditional film and then put those photos into actual albums.

B.Parents should be mindful of the information that they post about their children on social media because some information could affect decisions made by universities or employers.

C.Children have been known to press charges against their parents for posting photos or information about the children on social media websites without their consent.

D.Children whose parents post embarrassing information about them online often seek revenge by posting embarrassing information about their parents on social media websites.

Well, yes, actually. No one had even heard of a "selfie" back then. Still, people took plenty of photographs of themselves using traditional film. But they kept more personal shots like baby pics private, as unique items of posterity to be preserved in an actual album.
. The only time a teen might be embarrassed by what was in it would be at a holiday party. At dinner, an aunt or uncle might bust it out at the table for a laugh at snapshots of the kid galumphing around as a big-eyed, roly-poly toddler.
But, boy, have things changed. Studies now show that, statistically speaking, the average person today could have up to 1,500 personal photographs posted online by the time he or she is 5 years old. Is all that life-documenting potentially life-damaging?
The real answer? It's complicated. Although the ability to post online may be an overall net positive, there can be significant drawbacks to it. One 14-year-old girl, for instance, was unpleasantly surprised to discover hundreds of photos of herself online.
Many of them went all the way back to her birth. Her mom, as it turned out, was engaged in sharenting behind her daughter's back. And it wasn't just photos: The mom had written all about her daughter's sometimes difficult or even humiliating social struggles. Someone call the post patrol!
The mother may have been sorry. But in a newspaper article she wrote about the experience, she said she doesn't actually intend to stop sharenting. She and her daughter have spoken about the issue and come to a compromise in which the daughter now gets the final say on what gets published. But the sharenting itself? Can't stop, won't stop.
So what would you do in this situation? Though oversharing adults may mean well, it's still easy to imagine that public posts might not only embarrass kids, but even cause some harm down the road. In fact, many universities and employers (70 percent of them!) are now in the habit of viewing a candidate's online history before making offers.
There's also the question of who has the right to post kids' photos online. Don't parents have the right to show off pics of their kids? One way to work this out might be for kids and adults to sit down, have a frank discussion, and come to an agreement about it. Kids might even avoid personal embarrassments by asking their parents straight up if they're sharenting.
If they are, kids can make their preferences clear and go from there, while keeping in mind that sharenting is likely done out of an excess of pride in one's kids. If kids want parents to see things their way, it may be worth considering their parents' views on the issue, too.



And don't forget that oversharing also applies to friends and siblings. Getting consent before posting about someone else online could help make sure that what's put out there isn't total TMI.

Read the excerpt from The Land.


Now, my sister was a beautiful girl and I knew even Mitchell had eyes for her. But Cassie was not only beautiful, she was tough, smart, and just a bit cocky. She was six years older than I was and pretty much like a mother hen when it came to me; I knew she'd take my part. "Cassie, you know 'bout Mitchell?" I asked her.


"Course I know about Mitchell," she answered. "Why're you letting him beat up on you?"

"I'm not letting him!" I exclaimed in outrage. "You thinking I'm liking him beating up on me?"


"Well, if you're not, you'd better make him stop."

"Well, I'm trying."

"Well, you'd better try harder."


Based on Paul’s description of Cassie, what is the most likely reason she tells him to handle Mitchell himself?


- She wants him to learn to behave like someone older like she is.

- She wants him to grow to be smart and tough like she is.

- She wants him to be a mother hen to Mitchell like she is to him.

- She wants him to become just a bit arrogant, like she is.
