Argumentative Writing

Content

We were asked to pick a side on whether the use of Native American mascots or logos are racist and detrimental to the Native American culture. I believed that the use of the mascots and logos were racist and detrimental. The reasons for this opinion was that the names and logos are stereotypical, the logos show false imagery, and having a Native American as a mascot is like comparing them to animals.

Reflection

This was our first big writing assignment of the year and I believe that I did very well. In eighth I had an English teacher at Sinaloa that made us write an essay every week for the whole year. She prepared all of us fro what was going to happen going into high school. The whole year may have been a bit miserable because of all the writing but in the end it was worth it. From being so used to writing essays every week I felt like a was ahead of the game and really organized. I made sure the rough draft and final draft were turned in on time. I would plan during the duration of the project. For example maybe do research a certain day, or start on my introduction or body paragraphs. I really enjoyed this topic because I am really into sports and previous to this essay I did not realize how many teams are named after Native Americans and how racist and detrimental they can be.
