Jaleesa's Persuasive Essay: DOGS vs CATS (long, but worth it)

[ACMESkydiver 0]

My 10 year old makes me ):

Dogs Rule! Cats Drool
Dogs Rock! Dogs have better qualities than cats. Dogs can do many more
activities than cats can. To start out, dogs can roll over, play dead, and sit.
Cats can only do a portion of those things but a dog can do them better! Cats
can roll over, which looks like a cylinder of fur rolling around; not a good
sight. Dogs can roll over and keep their cute, living eyes on you the whole
time signifying that they love you. “Roll over” is a command for a dog. For a
cat it is just a simple stretch that doesn’t look amusing at all. Cats can sit, but
unlike dogs, you can’t tell a cat to sit. For dogs it is a command and they will
usually listen to you if they are trained. Cats can’t play dead, either. My
opinion is that dogs are off the scale compared to cats. You can have
different or the same opinion but if you like cats better, watch your back,
that is all that I am saying.

For one thing, dogs are high-quality work out pals. For starters, cats can’t
run fast for a long period of time. A pet to work out with you for,
say, running, needs to be fast or as fast as you are. For people that are
pushing themselves hard and are fast runners, they need a fast pet. If you
were to take a cat on a long distance run you would have to put a leash on it
so it
wouldn’t run away. A cat with a leash doesn’t look right at all. Well, you
might say “You can carry cats and if you are doing pushups or something,
they don’t bother you unlike dogs.” My reply to that is that “carrying something
will get in the way. Trained dogs will sit patiently by you while you are
doing pushups or something related to that. I say that an ideal workout pet
would be a dog.


Dogs have different properties. One of them is that they are very playful.
To start out the gust of wonderful things about dogs and the minute blow of
the good things about cats. Dogs, unlike cats, can play catch. Catch is a game
where the owner of the dog throws a Frisbee or a play toy, or something like
that. The dog races to the flying objects and tries to catch it in his/her
mouth. If the dog does catch the object in its mouth the dog
should bring it back to a human. If the dog does not succeed, the dog will
simply pick up the article from the ground or floor and bring it to a human
being. Dogs can also smell out things such as tennis balls or snacks. This
could be made into a game or a training class. The thing is, cats can’t catch big
objects in their mouths and they can’t sniff out nearly as fast as a dog can. I
know you might say “Well, cats can roll, run, and play with a ball of
yarn!” My response to that is that “when you play with a cat you have a bigger
chance that you will get scratched and a dog can sniff and find things unlike
cats. One time my dog and I were out in the backyard and I was on the porch
swing doing my homework and I got very bured so we played catch and I
would hide a ball or a toy and he would find it. After that I did the rest of my
homework and when I got my grade on the homework I got a 4 (and 4 is the
highest grade you can get)! My personal choice would be that dogs are more
playful and lighthearted than cats.


The most important reason why I like dogs better than cats is because dogs
are man/women’s best friend. The first reason why I say this is because it is
an actual saying! Who has ever heard of a cat as a man’s best friend? That
proves that the saying is real and the person who made it must be famous or
something to make such a little saying so powerful. Another reason why a dog is my pick is because when
you get home and you are tired and you need a break your dog will approach
you and jump into your arms and lic your face and just be the cutes thing that
you have ever seen. The main idea is that dogs are cuter than cats. That is
because they have cute eyes and when they are happy they wag their tail
signifying that they are happy. One of your complaints could be “cats have
the cute eyes and it is proven in Shreck 2 where “Puss in Boots” pleads to go
with Shreck and donkey with the sweet, lovable eyes and he convinces
Shreck and it is hard to convince an ogre.” My reply to that remark is that “there
are a lot of things wrong with that. 1, Puss in Boots is a Disney character and
they make it up, and 2, if a dog wanted to do what Puss in Boots did they
could, and donkey would act better about it and the dog would not want to
attack Shreck and Donkey.” All those comments and reasons and
explanations are for my side that Dogs are the unsurpassed compared to cats.


Dogs are astounding animals and they need a little respect. They are very
playful and adventures creatures. The things with cats are, they are not the
best thing to try to amuse yourself with because they scratch, and when they roll
over it isn’t the best sight. I just wanted to say, dogs are the ideal pet to
choose.

WOW! Jaleesa is a THINKER and she knows what she likes. (That's a good thing, since it's a "persuasive" essay!)

She took a week to do it. Rough draft, edit, 2nd draft, edit, final draft, final edit...

These kids are super stars nowadays! She was doing Power Point presentations at 9...mama mia.

That's just a painful process. It obviously paid off for her, though!

LOL....a friend of mine who is a manager said her sons put together a power point presentation on why they should have cell phones. She said the presentation was so good she couldn't say no, and the boys now have phones.

Fly it like you stole it!
