In my Honors English 165 class with Dr. Haffner we had to write a persuasive research paper on an issue in our society. I wrote about outdoors dogs and how dangerous it is for the animals. I chose this paper because it was an issue that was not widely known. This paper helped me better my emotional appeal with my writing, while also explaining to the reader the issue in society. This was one of my favorite papers to write because I have worked in animal welfare for almost three years. I was able to tell first-hand stories and get my feelings across through writing. Above is the persuasive research paper.
