1 SENTENCE IS NOT A PARAGRAPH
Example:

Adam Alter’s primary goal is to get teachers to stop using red pens when they grade assignments. We can see this through his evidence he presents in several ways. One appeal he makes is to the teacher’s desire to inspire or motivate their students. One specific example of how red pen might hurt students is when he explains that “the color red activates the right hemisphere of the frontal cortex, a pattern of brain activity that typically indicates ‘avoidance motivation.’”(172). This quote would appeal to teachers because most teachers are hoping to inspire their students to try new things, not crush them.

Another reason that goes along with the belief that Alter’s purpose is to get teachers to stop using red pens is when he explains how many more errors people find when using a red pen. That by itself isn’t necessarily enough, but he does go on to state, “unfortunately, red ink is a double-edged sword, also causing students to perform more poorly in the first place”(172). This word choice is something that teachers would not want to associate with their grading necessarily, so they might be inclined to put the red pen down.

The author's purpose who is Adam Alter is to attempt to get teachers to stop using red pens to grade their students work. I believe he wants this is because the color red shows that the students have been assessed harshly when their work is covered in red ink. To me this isn't really important as it most likely only affects people in elementary school as they are more likely to express their feelings then people in secondary school. When speaking to my siblings on the topic to them the color red when grading work influences the mind that they made to many errors which resulted in their bad performances, as this may not make the most sense if you think about it in some religions the color red represents death and evil.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

He concluded that a human being's arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands.
