Three minute fast write

    Hello my name is Kendrick and I am taking a class at Lancaster Bible College and my professor made us make a blog and post our homework assignments on it. These assignments are taken from the book The Curious Reader by Bruce Ballenger.Here is the first two assignments that I had to do. For these two assignments I had to pick two statements from the list we were provided and write for three minutes as fast as we could without thinking ahead of what to say and write whether or not we disagreed and why? For the first one I pick the statement that we should never use the pronoun I and for the second one I chose the statement that there is a big difference between facts and opinions.

   1)  It has long been said that when writing you should never use the pronoun I. I disagree with that statement that you should never use the pronoun I, because using the pronoun I helps readers to understand your paper better. The pronoun I helps tell exactly what your opinion is when writing and helps to distinguish your voice from the other voices in your paper. In other words using the pronoun I gives clarity to your paper.

2)   I have heard the statement that there is a big difference between facts and opinions. I agree with that statement that facts are and opinions are different. The reason I think that facts and opinions are different is, because a fact is something that has been proven scientifically and an opinion is a belief that someone holds true. A opinion may become a fact if it is proven scientifically, but if it is not proven it remains just a belief that someone thinks is true.
