Allowing children to read poems

In 1954, the book The Little Engine that Could was published. Its message was that if the little engine only believed in itself (by repeating “I think I can; I think I can”), then it could accomplish its task of bring toys over a big hill. Search online for and read the Shel Silverstein poem “The Little Blue Engine,” which is a reaction to the book. What are your thoughts about allowing children to read poems like this? Should children only read stories and poems that have a moral lesson? Do you think this poem has a moral lesson?

Plato’s explanation that people do not know what is good for them

You read Plato’s explanation that people do not know what is good for them when it comes to entertainment (dramas were what his society had available) and that the state (his word for government) should limit what people view. Aristotle, on the other hand, saw some value in certain dramas because of the cathartic effect. How do their views apply to mature-rated video games that contain violence? Is there any benefit to these games? Is there a detriment?

Do they focus entirely on logical arguments (logos), ethical appeals (ethos), or symbolic and emotional language (pathos)? Remember to use in-text citations and an author signal phrase when you answer.
3. Does the speaker use counterevidence in the video? If so, provide examples. If not, what are the limitations of the speaker’s arguments? What might they say to counter these limitations? Remember to use in-text citations and an author signal phrase when you answer.
4. Finally, what have you learned about argumentative writing from watching the video? What approaches might you take in your own writing project? Your answer should focus on writing strategies.
