ReplyDeleteThe controlling idea of the passage "Cops Can Be Human" is that Officer Jenkins is different from other cops because he is humane and treats the women in prison as ladies. It can also be seen in the following excerpt from the passage. After spending six months in a county jail where no cop ever said anything nice to me, I was not expecting to meet any here in the state prison that I would call "human." The paragraph also contains multiple examples that support the controlling idea like calling the women by their given name rather than a nickname or greeting the women good night before they went to sleep during lockdown. These examples are also organized using exemplification, for the speaker is stating several instances in which Officer Jenkins displayed kindness to the women. It is also true that the examples from the paragraph are vivid, specific, and representative. The speaker also tells the paragraph from the first person (narrative) point of view.

ReplyDeleteThe unit that is being divided would be the last sentence of the first paragraph being, "As a hero she was courageous, persistent, and willing to sacrifice herself." We see the writer will divide their writing on how he/she expresses the attributes and abilities of Susan B. Anthony as a hero. The principle of this essay would be Susan B. Anthony expressing the idea of equality in America from her fight against alcohol to the women suffrage act; portrayal of a hero of equal rights. There are five parts to this unit of having an introduction, body, and a closing paragraph. The introduction has a strong thesis of Susan B. Anthony's heroic traits she owns. The body having the supported details by the many activities she participated and fought for. Lastly the conclusion of her life's fight for equality. The point of view is expressed in a third person point of view by the writer expressing Susan B. Anthony's career.

ReplyDeleteThe paragraph's controlling idea is that the writer never expected to meet a "cop" in prison that she would call "human" until she met Officer Jenkins. She lists multiple examples of Officer Jenkins treating the prisoners humanely such as referring to them by their first names even when they have done something wrong, singing goodnight instead of yelling at them for lights out, and rather than making a lot of noise when doing checks, he would move quietly to not disturb their sleep. By the organized examples, we can see this is exemplification. The examples given in this paragraph are able to give a vivid image, with specific detail, and represent the writers focus very well. We can tell this is written in the first person by the use of "I" and "us".

ReplyDeleteI believe the controlling idea would be that the person would never meet a cop that they would call a "human" until they met the person or should I say cop. She lists multiple examples of why Officer Jenkins is considered a human to her than other cops she has met. Such as calling the her and the inmates by their first names. The inmates are usually using their last names or nicknames to be their names in jail. The type of order would have to be exemplification because she basically explains why Officer Jenkins is a "human". I believe it is true that the examples in this paragraph are vivid, specific, and representative. The point of view in this paragraph is first person because she is involved in the story and she is also a character in the story.
