  1. The controlling idea of this paragraph is that the writer was not expecting to meet a cop that she could distinguish as "human".

    There are multiple examples in this paragraph that explain why Officer Jenkins is seen as human. First, he would call the writer by her given name instead of using a nickname. Second, when Officer Jenkins patrols the hallways to inform the inmates that it is lights out, he does not yell. Officer Jenkins has his own way of saying good night with a little song. Lastly, usually the cops would double check when the inmates are asleep while making noise with their flash lights, but Officer Jenkins patrols quietly.

    The type of order that organizes the examples is exemplification.

    It is true that the examples are vivid, specific, and representative.

    The point of view in this paragraph is first person view.

  2. The controlling idea of this paragraph is Officer Jenkins is " human ".

    The paragraph gives multiple examples of how Officer Jenkins displays human-like behavior in comparison to the other cops.

    She writes the examples in a chronological way, where it starts with her moving in and how the day ends.

    It is true that the examples are vivid, specific and representative.

    She is writing the paragraph in a first person point of view.
    You can tell by the first couple sentences where she uses the words " I " and " me ".

  7. Cops Can Be Human!!!

    1. The controlling idea of this paragraph is the title itself. "Cops Can Be Human.

    2. There are multiple examples shown in the essay practice paragraph.

    (1) First of all, he called me by my given name when I moved in,
    something that I hardly ever heard; even the other inmates use last names or nicknames most of the
    time. He was doing it for all the women, even if he was calling them down for doing something wrong.
    (2) Later after we'd gone to our rooms and he'd locked us in, he came around again for lights out. Instead of
    yelling at us to turn our lights out, he had a little song that went "Goodnight, Marge. Goodnight, Linda.
    Goodnight, Beverly. It's time to kill the lights." He would go on and on down the hall, working in lots of
    names. (3) Then that night when he was checking the rooms, he didn't make a big deal of it. The cops are
    supposed to check twice each night after we go to bed and "see flesh," and some of them make a lot of
    noise with their flashlights. But Officer Jenkins just moved along, quietly checking us, so we usually didn't
    know he'd been there

    3.The type order is chronological.

    4. Yes it true

    5. It is a first person view and officer Jenkins was well respected. Most cops are not like Office Jenkins, but he was enough to make me feel better
    about human beings in general. He got us to cooperate by being good instead of bad. "

  8. The controlling idea is that she was not expecting to meet anyone in prison who she can call "human".

    There are multiple examples in this paragraph.

    The examples are written in chronological order of how officer Jenkins starts and ends the day.

    I would say this passage is quite accurate so it's true.

    The passage is written in first person point of view. She uses the words "I".
