humorous article
For my humorous article I choice an article from The Onion titled, "The 60 Million People You'd Never Talk To Voting For Other Guy". This article is basically about the ignorance and stubborness of the American society. It is talking about how everyone knows they are right and any opinion that is not your own, when it comes to politics, is wrong. The article remarks that if you were to go up to someone with opposite political views than your own and try to suade them into agreeing with you, they never would; and vice versa, if someone tried to persuade you and change your personal political views you would, more than likely, not listen to a word they have to say. The article remarks that every year the list of people you would never talk to, and don't have anything in common with just keeps going up and up because we become even more stubborn and single minded in our views every year. The article used surveys and reports to prove their statement, even though it is mocking the American society.

Marissa,
Using comparisons in your humorous argument was a good way to depict fashion. I was a little confused though, about what your main point was. If you are arguing for the importance of fashion, the comparisons are not self-explanatory, so you may want to add something (dialogue) to describe the importance of fashion. Very creative idea though and good job.
I remember you talking about this when we were in groups. I felt that it was a very interesting choice, and I was interested if it was actually funny. It seemed like it would be more serious than humorous. Good choice regardless
