Revisiting my opinion

There is one opinion piece that really came to mind when I read the question about revisiting old pieces. It was the piece about the topless coffee shop in Vassalboro. It was a very controversial topic to begin with but it ended up going through and became a real establishment. Since then it has become even more controlversial. After a few weeks of business the owner wanted to incorperate dancing in with his topless coffee. A lot of people from the community did not want this to happen. But just over a week ago The Grand View (topless) Coffee Shop was burnt down. According to officials it was Arson and possibly even attempted murder. This was such a great topic to write about.

Opinion pieces for next year

Next year I know we will be coming up with some crazy stuff to write about. There are a few subjects I hope to see and discuss. One subject we didn't really cover this year was drugs. We did a piece about some kid with a 14 ft. banner reading " Bong hits for Jesus" but I really think we should get more in depth. I think we should write a piece about the legalization of marijuana and a piece about Maine's high prescription drug abuse. These are both very real topics that are of common interest.
I was also hoping to write some pieces about our country's cruelty of prisoners. I have read some articles in NEWSWEEK magazine about it and I think it could really flare up some great discussions. Should torture be used to get terrorists to tell us their secrets? Some people would agree but others say there is better more American like ways to get information. These are two topics I hope are included in our opinion pieces.

How I have improved my writing this year

This year has been great for me I have improved in so many things including writing. I was always creative and thinking up cool things to write about but my handwriting was terrible and so was my flow. This year my handwriting is still awful but my flow is much smoother than current years. When I write everything seems to come together in a flowing creative way. I can state my opinion in an argument strongly and write paragraphs that are fluent and complete. I plan to continue my improvement of writing skills in the year to come. Next year I want to make my sentence structure a bit better and keep working on my fluency. I would also like to improve my spelling.

Favorite opinion piece

My favorite opinion piece is the piece about testing new drugs on animals. It was my highest scoring opinion piece and I think I did a really complete job. One of the reasons it is my favorite is because it really shows off some of the writing skill that I have but don't always apply. I wasn't even that interested in the topic but I still managed to put together a strong argument. I think I started out with a powerful intro that made the reader want to continue. In the body and conclusion paragraphs I think I made some points that would make any reader want to follow my opinion. That is why it is my favorite opinion piece.
