Get a Knife, Get a Dog, But Get Rid of Guns (by Molly Ivins)

"Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns," by Molly Ivins, is the author's personal perspective on how guns should be banned from public use; she claims that carrying a knife or getting a dog to protect us is safer than carrying a gun.She bases her argument on the Second Amendment, claiming that guns should only be used by well-trained militias. Guns are dangerous, so it's better to buy a knife or a dog, according to the reasoning.Without addressing the primary reasons why firearms are harmful in general, I think that Ivins' argument is ambiguous.

My Body is My Own Business (by Naheed Mustafa)

 This piece was overall really informative and eye-opening to me. The message is really powerful and timely in today's world. Naheed's life experiences and knowledge will teach young people that it isn't about what you wear or how you appear. It all comes down to who you are as a person. Naheed's essay is directed at young ladies growing up in a patriarchal society. As a woman, I found this to be a fascinating subject. She writes from personal experience and I believe that some of the advice in this essay would be accepted by young ladies.
