Read the essay “The Last Straw,” listed in your readings or return to it if you already read it and focus your attention to any unusual or surprising elements of the essay’s content or format. Note that Wong uses a numbered list, bullet points and includes Tweets in her essay. Why do you think she does so? Is this a productive way of organizing her essay? Why or why not? Does it reflect any of the rhetorical appeals?

Keep in mind that if you use someone else’s words, definitions, ideas, whether via quoting, or paraphrasing, or summarizing, you are required to cite them and follow the MLA format in doing so to prevent plagiarism. This means that some of your writing in the document will include in-text citations and that your list of sources will be included within a Works Cited at the end of your writing. Please, rely on paraphrasing and summarizing, NOT quoting directly from Wong’s essay. This means that you will be using your own words to capture the message from her essay and provide citations to illustrate that the message is hers, not yours.
