In article “This Is Your Brain in Meltdown” (2012), written by Arnsten, Amy, Carolyn M. Mazure, and Rajita Sinha implies that stress could disorder the functions of brain, and they explain how regains the brain function after affected by stress. Arnsten, Mazure, and Sinha supports the theses by giving different research results on the circuit of the brain. The purpose of this article is to persuade the readers in order to know the functions of the brain, keep up the brain function well, and control the stress. The audience of the article is all the people who struggling with stress and medical students.

     I agree the length of the exam reduce the ability of students to get a better score. Exam is temporarily blank, fold, or choke human brain because our prefrontal cortex is sensitive. This article is really helpful to know the structures of the brain and its functions. Not only the structures and functions of the brain but also helpful to know which behaviors disturb its functions and how the little stress disorder the functions of the brain. This article also shows the way to reduce stress.

     Arsten, Amy, Carolyn M. Mazure, and Rajita Sinha describes the human brain structures, functions, and stress. The prefrontal cortex is the control center of the brain and mediates the circuit of the brain. The prefrontal cortex structure is hierarchy and sensitive to stress. The functions of the brain influenced by stress.  According to Arsten, Carolyn, and Sinha “uncontrollable stress sets off a series of chemical events that weaken the influence of prefrontal cortex” (161). They also describe how regain the brain functions as “success in managing challenging situations can build resilience” (165).  

It Wasn't Me

     In the Josh Green's personal essay " How it Feels to be Falsely Accused" (2014) ,  which was a case defended by the Georgia Innocence Project, Green implies that Clarence Harrison had been a victim of the justice system. Green shows this by giving details about the case that convicted Mr. Harrison of rape, robbery, and kidnapping and how it changed Harrison's life forever. Green does this in order to show how a person's life was taken away because of flaws made in the justice system. The intended audience is for people who were or are incarcerated and how your life is changed due to lack of representation and evidence.
     Just from reading this article, it bought back memories about a man in my hometown that was also falsely accused and spent years in prison for a murder charge. It took the F.B.I. to come in and acquit this man and give him back his freedom. When it all boiled down, it was a relative of the girl who had committed the crime. You see a lot of people being exonerated now and are offered large sums of money for being falsely accused and having decades of their lives taken away from them. In my opinion no sum of money can replace life as a whole.
     Harrison was hurt when he learned the amount of time that he had just received and realized that it tore his mom to pieces. "She felt the hurt before I did, because I didn't accept it (194). He did what he could to help with his case but it was too stressful."I started getting too many migraine headaches, stressing myself out (194). He had lost all hope in becoming free again. The day they told me they lost the evidence and when my mother passed-those would be the worst two days. Once he got help from the outside things began to look better for him in one way but bad in another. He didn't know how he would make it in a new society since all he knew was what prison had taught him." When I left, [Interstate] 20 wasn't but two lanes on each side (195). It was a blessing for him to be freed but the people and time he lost changed his life forever.

Environmental Difference 

      In the personal essay “Talking in Color: Collision of Culture” (2013), written by Tiffany Hendrickson, implies that the power of the voice, and voice is different based on the environment. Hendrickson describes the power of voice by telling her experience and her struggle to communicate with the College students who have the same skin color with her. Hendrickson’s essay aided on the power of voice in order to inform the reader that the difference of voice and color are the culture of the society. The audience of this essay is all the people who struggle with being different from others.

     I feel Hendrickson's essay will change a lot of readers  who judged someone depending on their  voice and color.  Voice and color are a natural gifts and may differ depending on the society where he/she grew up. No one knows each persons history, therefore their accent should not be judged.             Hendrickson clearly support her thesis by giving details of  her experience at home,  while visiting her neighbor, and at the university she attended. She indicates the power of voice at the beginning of the first paragraph “growing up with a completely deaf mother, voices and massages are assorted in our household” (paragraph 1, line 4, Hendrickson). Hendrickson also reveals to the reader, voice is an accent which adapted from the surrounding society, “When I walk outside, in what most people would call impoverished African American neighborhood, I see faces not similar to mine, but I hear voices that sound familiar” (paragraph 1). She is also describe most people matched voice and color as “He had this look of disappointment on his face and said “well, then talk white. Stop talking like a nigger!”” (Paragraph 6).
