Suzanne, I know you weren't responding to me, but I'm totally different.
I can handle English, but Math is too difficult!
I do hate writing papers though.
I'm okay with just dealing with simple grammar.
Blessings, Joshua

You're welcome.

Since this needs to be a persuasive paper, what are you going to try to
persuade the readers to do?
For example, provide accommodations

Or are you trying to convince people that discrimination exists which I am
not positive counts as a persuasive paper. Of course I could be totally
wrong on that.

 I am taking English 102 right now and am working on a paper due Wednesday.
I hate writing papers and English classes. The whole thing is to subjective
in grading. Give me Calculus, Chemistry, computer science courses anytime.
I tried to figure out how to get my degree and not have to take this
horrible English class.
