1. What is the purpose behind Ivins' writing this article? Do you agree with any of her argument?
Molly Ivins writes to persuade people to ban guns in American. I agree with parts of her argument because making sure guns have the same restrictions as cars— ”At a minimum, we should do the same with guns”— makes logical sense. However, I disagree with how Ivins portrays herself, as in when she says she thinks “gun nuts have a power hang-up,” which makes me not trust her opinion.

48. PAthos: Lori Perry's "Up Against the wind"
Day after day seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by Night after night seems like I rage against the moon But it don't ever light the dark I curse the falling rain But it won't stop for my complaining Down on my luck and up against the wind Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
What emotion is this attempting to evoke? What words do this?
