SOAPSTone S: Remembering the bravery of soldiers in World War II, especially those who fought on D-Day O: 40th Anniversary of D-Day, gathering at the site where the soldiers fought to commemorate among other world leaders A: World leaders, representatives of various countries, the world, Americans, other countries, veterans and their families P: In order to commemorate the soldiers, in order to remind the world of their bravery and what they fought for, in order to make people aware of the events of World War II, in order to remember notable people S: Ronald Reagan, president of the United States of America Tone: Reflective, thoughtful, serious, appreciative, commemorative, sincere 7. The bravery of the soldiers who fought during World War II needs to be remembered and appreciated now and in all the years to come. They fought for liberation and democracy. Americans have learned lessons from the World Wars. The U.S. needs to continue to fight to protect the ideals for which the soldiers died. 8. The actions of the United States need to be taken with the sacrifices of the soldiers in mind; one must always remember the principles for which they fought. 9. I am persuaded to a large extent by the author's treatment of the topic. I think it can be agreed that the bravery of the soldiers needs to be honored and commemorated because they fought to preserve the ideals of the U.S. as they remain today. I agree with the ideas to always remember the soldiers, but on some of the issues of foreign policy and avoiding isolationism, I am not completely convinced because I feel I do not know enough about the issues of the world. 10. Key sentences "** Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for. Let our actions say to them the words for which Matthew Ridgway listened: ``I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.''" ** "** These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war." **
 * " **** Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their value [valor], and borne by their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died." **
 * " **** The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next." **
 * " **** You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One's country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you." **
 * " ****Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet, you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love.**"

SOAPSTone S: human memory and the functions of the brain O: scholarly article about the advances of research involving human memory and the brain A: scholars, students, other researchers, those interested in psychological functions P: in order to provide information about human memory and forgetting, in order to present research about the brain S: World Book Inc, scholars, researchers, educated authorities Tone: informative, informational, explanatory, authoritative, educated 7. There has been a great deal of research on human memory and the functions of the brain. There are different stages of memory, and each person's brain functions differently. Many factors contribute to how the brain functions and remembers. 8. Memory is essential to survival, and, although research has clarified many functions of human memory and the brain, there is still a great deal of uncertainty in this field of science. 9. I am very persuaded by the author's treatment of the topic because they seem well-researched and educated. Although the author explains and presents research, they still admit that there is much to be learned on the topic. The sense that the author is aware that they have much to learn adds to the level I am persuaded by their treatment of the topic. 10. Key sentences "Stress may have a profound effect on memory as well. According to Freud's theory of repression, we unconsciouslydecide to avoid thinking about unpleasant things. As a result, we recall unpleasant memories in less detail and with less frequency." "Perhaps the biggest enemy of memory is time. As we get older, most of us struggle more with our memory. In addition, our chances of developing a condition that interferes with memory increase." "As anyone who has ever taken a test knows, memory is a less-than-perfect ability. We tend to forget much of the information and many of the experiences to which we are exposed. Forgetting is a natural and frequent part of the memory process." "Certain memories are more likely to be forgotten than others. Because memories go through stages as they are being stored—from sensory memory to short-term memory to long-term memory—the newer, or more recent, the memory is, the more likely it is not to have been processed sufficiently or consolidated firmly." "In the same way, we remember  because a //cue //—an experience, an emotion, a sensation—links us to something that happened in the past."
