Ayhan, Gulen, et al. "Suicide Risk among Prisoners in French Guiana: Prevalence and Predictive                Factors." BMC Psychiatry, Vol 17, No. 1, 2017 DOI 10.1186/s12888-017-1320-4

 Ayhan argues that prisoners are at risk and have ties to suicidal thoughts and actions. There was a study conducted which questioned prisoners in France about their mental health. They conducted an exam called the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) which lead to results showing that those in prison do in fact have a direct relationship with mental health issues and suicide risk. It was found that "14.3% of the inmates suffered from depression," and there were many other factors and disorders that resulted in finding a large portion of the inmates to have various risks of suicide (14% high risk, 15% moderate risk, and 42% low risk). The author's point of view is that with more testing and diagnostics (such as the MINI), the suicide risk among prisoners could be significantly decreased.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

freewrite 3/27

1. The writing process was different in the sense that project two was a research paper and required background information that I could not provide myself. It required sources in which I got my information and a bibliography of where I got the sources and information from. Project 1 was mostly opinion based. 2. It thought that it was helpful to get the first draft done first because then I have most of my paper done so I can just edit and add little things when it was time to submit the final project. 3. I enjoyed project two more because I talked about my passion and things that I like to do and things that concern me personally (fishing and ocean stuff).
