An argument I read/heard about was regarding science and the bible. The argument was that the

bible, which was written many years ago, answers many questions years ago that science has

only recently answered, proving god is real. Many people are split between this idea as it can be

controversial, and not everyone has the same religion. However, they took an approach by

reading biblical verses and comparing them to facts we know today, like how people once

believed that there were only around 1000 stars, but the bible says there are countless. The

argument is more persuasive as some people think it is just a coincidence, and others may see it

as divine.

This person's style is confident, respectful, and unique. These are all qualities that appeal to me.

However, they can be very bold at times. They have a "you're lucky even to be speaking to me"

at times because they've gone to the gym and constantly worked on themselves to improve their

lifestyle. I don't have one specific style; it's always changing. For example, the music I listen to

ranges from rap, heavy metal, classical, and K-pop. As for clothes, at times I'll look very

tomboyish, sometimes girly, and a lot of times ill dress professionally for work. My personality

changes a lot, too, as most of the time, I'm confident, but I have my shy moments. I can be weird

and funny or have serious deep conversations. I think my style is very open, and I gravitate to

people similar to myself. I don't think any recent piece of writing represents me well, especially

while writing. I'm the type of person that says what is on their mind. Everything I've written so

far has been formal; my stance has a neutral and professional tone.

For my class, we had to write a discussion about the types of challenges in soft sciences, like

sociology when using the scientific method. I wrote “Like water, if you mix two hydrogens and

one oxygen your result will always be water. The length of this sentence is 16 words. Some

sentences begin with a noun, others with conjunctions. I wrote this sentence to “in the case of

combining two hydrogens and one oxygen your result will always be water.”
