I had to write a argumentative essay on how fortnite was addictive and I was just wondering if I need to edit. Do you wonder what your kid is playing all the time and is it affecting them? Kids/teens are playing a video game called Fortnite and parents and teachers are debating if this game is an addiction or just an amusement. Parents, teachers, and scientists are trying to figure out the outcome of this issue if it is addicting. Some people think that this game is just an amusement and something for kids to enjoy but others think it is an addiction and that it is affecting them. Although Fortnite is an amusing game that kids can have fun with, we need to understand that kids play it too much because they can be affected in school and themselves because of not finishing their work, and it is also affecting their mental health, and it is a big distraction with life at home as well. First, why Fortnite is an addiction is because kids will not be able to get their work done in class. In the article "Fortnite-Addiction or Amusement" it states “Teachers are finding that this is the hottest topic of conversion, and they are spending all their time at home playing this game, forgetting about their academic responsibilities" (Crouch 13). This explains that kids are talking about Fortnite instead of doing their school work. One time when I was at school we were doing a school project and I got assigned with classmates that liked to play Fortnite and that is all they talked about during the time we had to do the project and I did pretty much all the work. In conclusion, kids are spending way too much time talking about it instead of working at school. I Next, why Fortnite is an addiction is because it could be affecting their own health. According to the author of the article "Fortnite-Addiction or Amusement" it states "According to Psychology Today, "[too much screen time] can unintentionally cause permanent damage to their still-developing brains" (Crouch 10). This explains that playing video games can cause permanent damage to their brains. To explain further this means when looking at a screen for too long this may cause their permanent damage to their brains because they are still growing. In conclusion, too much screen time can cause permanent damage to the brain unless already fully developed. On the other hand, Fortnite can be an amusing game by it being free for everyone. According to the text it states "First, one of the top reasons why Fortnite is so popular is because the initial game is free" (Crouch 5). However, that means that the game is more accessible and becomes more of a distraction with more kids/ieens. According to the author Though many will argue that Fortnite is not the root of the problem in households and classrooms, many parents and teachers disagree, and they are seeing this game become a huge distraction and addiction in and out of the classroom" (Crouch 9). We need to find a way to stop this being such a distraction. In conclusion, although Fortnite is an amusing game that kids can play with friends and after school, we need to understand that kids need to stop making it such a distraction because of not finishing their work, and it is also affecting their mental health, and it desensitizes kids. Teachers in school are noticing that kids in school are only talking about the game Fortnite and it's distracting them from doing work. Also since kids are playing the game way too much it could affect their health and it mostly affects their brian permanently because their brian is not fully developed. Fortnite can be good because it's free but it causes too much distraction and kids will not get work done in school. Fortnite can be fun but too much can be bad.​

Deferred
by Langston Hughes (excerpt)
This year, maybe do you think I can graduate?
I'm already two years late.
Dropped out six months when I was seven,
a year when I was eleven,
then got put back when we come North...
Maybe now I can have that white enamel stove
I dreamed about when we first fell in love
eighteen years ago.
But you know,
rooming and everything
then kids...
Me, I always did want to study French
It don't make sense-
I'll never go to France,
but night schools teach French...
Someday
I'm gonna buy two new suits
at once!
All I want is
one more bottle of gin.
All I want is to see
my furniture paid for.
and
jazz formats in this poem to emphasize how African American dreams
Langston Hughes uses

from “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For” in Walden
by Henry David Thoreau
Look at a meeting-house, or a court-house, or a jail, or a shop, or a dwelling-house, and say what that thing really is before a true gaze, and they would all go to pieces in your account of them. Men esteem truth remote, in the outskirts of the system, behind the farthest star, before Adam and after the last man. In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages. And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry—determined to make a day of it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset and overwhelmed in that terrible rapid and whirlpool called a dinner, situated in the meridian shallows. Weather this danger and you are safe, for the rest of the way is down hill. With unrelaxed nerves, with morning vigor, sail by it, looking another way, tied to the mast like Ulysses. If the engine whistles, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell rings, why should we run? We will consider what kind of music they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through Church and State, through poetry and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call reality, and say, This is, and no mistake; and then begin, having a point d'appui, below freshet and frost and fire, a place where you might found a wall or a state, or set a lamp-post safely, or perhaps a gauge, not a Nilometer, but a Realometer, that future ages might know how deep a freshet of shams and appearances had gathered from time to time. If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter, and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career. Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.
