Write a thesis statement in response to the following prompt.

Prompt: Read the letter to the editor "I, Too, Have a Dream." How does the writer use structure and language to persuade her readers and support her feelings about immigration?

Dear Editor,

I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but something happened that lit a fire in me. Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path. Their signs read "GO HOME" and "ILLEGALS LEAVE." They shouted, "Send them home!" These protesters couldn't have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss's heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?

Areliss came to the United States illegally, but she didn't do it intentionally. She was a baby. Her parents, seeking a better life, failed to follow the established immigration procedure, and they slipped into our country undetected. Once here, they raised Areliss, who would grow up never knowing any other home but America.

Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Areliss has been granted the temporary opportunity to remain here while she completes her college education. DACA ensures, at least for a while, that she will not be deported to a country she has never visited in her entire life.

The term "DREAMers" refers to an act that would have protected these immigrant children if they attended college or served in the military. The DREAM Act did not pass, but its name has remained. DACA recipients have a dream: they dream that their lifelong contribution to the United States will one day be recognized, and they will be permitted to stay in the country they have always called home.

Now, DACA is ending. Those who oppose DACA say it encourages illegal activity, weakens our borders, and goes against the Constitution. I understand their concerns. In an era of heightened security, we must do our utmost to keep this great nation safe. That includes establishing a healthy monitoring system for immigration.

But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them.

To send DREAMers away is to deny that responsibility. Programs like DACA exist to keep the American dream alive.

Yes, Areliss is a DREAMer. But I, too, have a dream. My dream is that DACA will be reinstated. My dream is that Areliss will be invited to stay in the country she has known as home since she was a baby and live out her dreams in the country she loves.

Sincerely,

Brittany Taylor

Answer:

The author makes an analogy to the famous "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. We can see this in how the letter is laid out, especially toward the end when the author references that they too, have a dream. That their dream is that DACA is to be reinstated. We see throughout the letter strong uses of metaphors like "their words were bullets", "lit a fire in me" and "fire back at the protesters". She is using her personal experiences to persuade the audience of supporting the DACA program. She starts by giving examples to support how there are good people who are immigrants in America and that there are people who spew hatred. The author continues to use the letter to provide evidence supporting that deportation is cruel.

A descriptive paragraph about favorite memory in holiday

The consumption of soda and water from plastic bottles is a growing global issue. Every minute, people in the world purchase one million plastic bottles. If all of the plastic bottles used in a year were lined up, they would stretch half-way to the sun. As individuals look around the world, they see an increasing number of plastic bottles. These bottles have piled on top of an isolated uninhabited island, landed on Arctic shores, and found their way into the fish people eat. Plastic bottles can be recycled, but recycling plants face two major problems. In the first place, people are not recycling all of their plastic bottles. Instead, many plastic bottles end up in the trash. Furthermore, people are buying and discarding plastic bottles at a rate that recycling plants cannot match. What can be done to stop the global plastic bottle crisis? People can recycle all of the plastic bottles that they buy. Even better, individuals can stop purchasing plastic bottles and use reusable bottles instead. Finally, companies that produce plastic bottles can use recycled plastic and invent a process to reuse plastic bottles. When everyone works together, the world can become a cleaner, healthier place.
