Today I am starting an assignment for my english class. We are assigned to pick from a list of topics and take three minutes to write about why we think that topic is true or false and then give our opinion on why we believe it is true or false. The first group of topics to pick from are: You have to know your thesis before you start, You have to be objective, You can't use the pronoun I, You can use your own experiences and observations as evidence, You can us your own writing voice, You're writing mostly for the instructor, and You're supposed to use your own opinions.

Step 1: 

* You can't use the pronoun I. 


You absolutely can use the pronoun I in your writings. You are responding to an idea or an article and you are simply adding your opinions and adding to the conversation. You can’t use your own ideas without using the pronoun I. If you are going to give your view on something your going to say something like, “I believe…” You must use I in your writings if you are stating your views, which you should be.

Step 2:

 We now have to pick another topic and explain why you agree or disagree.

* People are entitled to their opinion and no opinion is better than another

I don’t agree with this statement. If someones opinion is obviously wrong, then their opinion is lesser than someone else’s opinion that is clearly right. Something that is incorrect can not hold the same value as something that is proven to be correct. Yes I believe people are entitled to their opinion, but if their opinion is wrong, then their opinion holds less value than the correct opinion.
