PA#6 --Ain't So/ Is Not (Refutation)

Once again, identify one of the characteristics that Roz Chast describes in the cartoon on p. 282 of TSIS, preferably a different characteristic than you did in PA#5. This time, disagree with her, provide some evidence that your claim about the cartoon is true, state your point of disagreement, explain your point of view, and provide some evidence that your POV is true In that order).

Try not to repeat yourself from previous PA's. Imagine that you are writing an essay on the cartoon. The paragraph is just one of several.

In addition, try to work in some informal language. Don't be afraid to use texting abbreviations, but don't overdo it. The idea here is to achieve a moment or two of the informality in Chapter 9 of TSIS, but remember that you are still doing academic writing. You're looking for the prof to chuckle a bit and (maybe) forget that s/he is reading a big stack of essays at 3 AM.

Try to limit yourself to a single element of the cartoon and a single point of refutation, but develop each point completely. DOWNSHIFT.
