Hi my name is Esha Trivedi and I believe that we SHOULD accept refugees. I would like to argue.

#1. ASSERTION: 4 million people from Syria have come to Europe

REASONING: They come to Europe to live a better life, but some of the refugees are poor and begging for food at train stations.

EVIDENCE: ISIS kills, tortures, and harasses many Syrians. They have started fleeing the country since the war began in 2011. They know that life at home is not going to get better anytime soon, so they might as well start living here.

Hi my name is Esha Trivedi and I strongly believe that we should NOT abolish the penny. I would like to start my argument.

#1.ASSERTION: It is impossible to give exact change without it.

REASONING: everything would be rounded to the nearest nickel

EVIDENCE: if a store had to round the price of a pizza slice that costs $1.97, it might be more likely to charge $2.00 than $1.95 so you’d be paying three cents more than you used to. (scholastic.com)

#2.ASSERTION:There are many surveys that say people want to keep the penny

REASONING:Many people said in polls that they wanted to keep the penny because it was useful for the country.

EVIDENCE:In a 2012 survey 2/3 of Americans say the want to keep the penny. Also in January the HuffPost/YouGovPoll took a survey and found out that 34% percent want to abolish the penny and 51% don't want to abolish the penny.

Hi, my name is Esha Trivedi and I support that we should abolish the penny.

1.ASSERTION:The U.S. is spending more money to make a penny than what the penny is actually cost.

REASONING: The Wall Street Journal wrote that American only place little value on the penny,but it's costing us millions each year.

EVIDENCE: Almost $900 million dollars are drained from the national economy each year. This is the price we have to pay for making pennies. (retirethepenny.org) In 2013 pennies costed 24.1 cents to produce. This means that the government spent nearly $169 million just to put $70 million of currency into circulation.(Huffington Post)

2.ASSERTION:Abraham Lincoln wouldn't want his face on a coin that pulls around millions from the economy.

REASONING:

EVIDENCE:John Green said that "If Abraham Lincoln were alive today he would say, 'Why is my face on a coin that is worth 1/26 of what the penny was worth when I was president?' "
