    -The snake consciously did evolve this adaptive development

    -I think it’s pretty cool how the snakes tail looks like an insect

    -The mirror Paradox flips things horizontally but not vertically

    -You don’t fip things left to right

    -Everytime you shift you should end up with a new paragraph

    -Beware of IT and THIS

    -Common practice in developing writers is opening an essay with a Rhetorical Question

    I believe that the evolution of the snake is a conscious decision. The snake video even made me jump a little bit, I couldn’t even tell that a snake was there. The snake had to find a usefulness for the adaptation of its tail.
    My takeaway from the mirror paradox is to think outside of the box. We have so many preconceived notions about what we believe, but why not take the extra step to learn outside of your comfort zone? That’s where true growth and learning will come from. In regards to the mirror, we’re always told that they flip the image in a certain direction, but that is not the case. Yet, how will we ever get to that conclusion if we don’t challenge preconceived notions?

    One main idea per paragraph.
    Don’t assume that your readers know the material that you’re talking about. Be specific in our details, don’t use it or that.
    Why you should never use rhetorical questions……… which seem so challenging.
    Rhetorical questions can be an uphill battle.
    Don’t allow our readers to strengthen their preconceived notions by asking rhetorical questions

    Given that the snake adjusts its tail to make it appear like a bug so that the bird will come, I believe it is actively attempting to bat the bird.
    The paradox of mirrors
    In a picture, Cindy Crawford sees herself as we do.
    Her mole turns to the opposite side in the mirror.
    Why does the mirror flip us in one direction as opposed to another?
    Mirrors never turn us around.
    A pronoun must allude to a noun.
    Change IT and THIS to something informative
    When you use IT, you’re assuming the reader is aware of what you’re talking about, and THAT is a problem.
    rhetorical inquiries
    Unwise because it invites the reader to engage in debate before they fully comprehend your position.
    Always be on guard
    Let’s harvest the organs of death row inmates, just like the black pieces in chess because white always plays first in chess.
    The first assertion is let’s.
    Next, let’s gather.
