Jackson's three points about the context of Jordan's argument are as follows:
-Instead stating Jordan wanted the President to become impeached, she instead established her credit and decided to let the audience decide based on the facts that she had provided.
-Jordan also had to convince the audience she was making her aurgument based on something other than her political offiliation.
-Lastly, Jordan added personal insight by starting her aurgument by showing the Constitution was not perfect and followed it by how she has a citizen's responsibility to protect it.
The following are Jordan's three points about the text of Jordan's argument:
-Jackson reads Jordan's faith in the constitution "is whole, it is complete, it is total." This gives the reader knowledge of her thoughts about the constitution.
-He also reads Jordan's fact about impeachment stating "if the President is connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter that person, he may be impeached. This draws out clear-cut reasoning to draw a conclusion to the issue.
-By ending her argument with a leading question, which the answer will give ample status to whether the President should be impeached, she keeps to not picking a side to the issue and again provides facts to determine a conclusion.

First and Foremost
I am not a huge fan of my own writing because whenever I have written for any of my teachers in the past, I never feel like there is any type of definitive answer to what was good in my essays. Without knowing what was good about my writings, I feel I have not been improving.
I have done research papers, poetry, and essays in the past. Even though I have received high grades for my writing in high school, I am still not happy with what I write. It may be I am not able to see any improvement myself or that there is not any improvement to be seen.
The one thing I would like to work on during this class is to be able to see an improvement in my writing all around.
