Argumentation #3

The concept of courage and cowardice have been accepted within our society as two complete opposites for many generations. It has been presumed that courage, above all, is the first quality of a warrior, and that there is no room for cowardice on the battlefield. On the contrary, it has also been presumed that a coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage. The decision whether a soldier is cowardice or courageous has been a controversial subject among numerous countries, including America. In the midst of war, American's perception of a courageous soldier is a warrior who is heroic, brave, and capable with the abilities to protect his/her fellow citizens. This is not true.

People say that soldiers filled with courage have the ability to protect their country, to protect their citizens, and to protect their justice. However, this is not always the case. Yes, there are some soldiers who can be perceived with those qualities. Nevertheless, soldiers are rather cowardice than courageous. Someone may believe that during a battle, a soldier may go home alive due to an injury caused by his courageous actions. How can someone be so certain that the soldier even did any courageous actions? In reality, soldiers go home not because of their injury, but because of their fear. Their fear is what brings them to descend from the war. Soldiers are typically afraid of death, afraid of pain, and just afraid of war in general. Soldiers don't fight to protect their morality, they fight because they were trained to do so and taught to follow orders. When cowards leave the war, they leave their comrade's pale corpse lying on the steady ground, they leave their country in a state of uprising war, and most of all, they leave all their so called "courage" behind. The image of a soldier is rather fake than what we had expected.

Argumentation #2

Let me tell you what we need Mr. Dier. We need to have a huge celebration after the AP exams. If we were to hear those exact words from your mouth, it would be music to our ears. In fact, it would be harmonious. This is not an exaggeration. This is not a mere joke. Moreover, this is not some playful suggestion. We need a party. My fellow classmates and I deserve a rest and it is irrefutable that you would need one as well. Everyone needs to relax. Otherwise, our stress level would fly off the charts! In addition, this celebration can be something to look forward to after the AP exams. According to Mrs. Frankenberg, typically when students have something beneficial to look forward to after the exam, their stress level tends to decrease. Thus, a better result on the test. If you actually considered this idea and decided to allow this celebration to proceed, students would like you even more. Thus, you would receive a better attitude, a better reputation,  and overall a better day for both you and the class. Furthermore, if this party was established, it could assist in reducing stress by forgetting about the AP exam in general. For example, after the SAT, several of my friends and I walked to Starbucks and Subway. We hung out for a while and during that time, we had completely forgotten about the SAT and felt as if it was another weekend with friends. Although, an individual may argue that the students who don't try, don't deserve the party. This reason isn't a justification. Instead, we could still have the party, but you could exclude those who don't try if you desired to. No, I am not forcing you to establish this party, nor am I demanding you to. I am simply informing you that having a celebration would be intensely rewarding. Consider this a proclamation by one of your students. Contemplate about it. Contemplate about the anxiety in which students undergo. Contemplate about the tension you undergo. Finally, contemplate whether we need this celebration or not.
