Please diagram the following letter to the editor.  In your response you must label the statements you are using in your flow diagram in the letter itself (letters or numbers are fine).  This is short, you should not be paraphrasing your premises.  If I cannot understand what you are using as your premises or your conclusion I cannot give you any credit.  Your answer should include this pasted in at the beginning with your addition of the letters/numbers.

I must also be able to understand your flow chart.  If you can do that on a word document that's fine, if you can't do it in a word document in a way that makes it clear what you are connecting and how you need to write it out on a separate piece of paper and scan it.  Simply putting different letters on different lines is not good enough.  You need to include arrows and these arrows need to obviously connect the components you are trying to connect.

Letter to the editor: Please, a park not a smoke shop

Janet Williamson, Tulsa

To the owners of the property at 40th Street and Winston Avenue, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Muskogee/Creek nation: Please, hear this heartfelt plea to stop the plans to put a smoke shop at this corner.

This is a neighborhood, zoned residential, occupied by many original residents, and increasingly by families with young children. It is not an appropriate location for such an establishment.

I have lived in the neighborhood for 43 years. I also have lived long enough to know that the law and legal disputes do not always result in doing things that are right. In a kinder and gentler world there are moral, ethical and spiritual considerations that would take precedence over the power of the almighty dollar.

So I offer a non-adversarial, Earth-friendly option to more buildings and concrete: Consider making this land one of the dozen or more pocket parks already in the neighborhood and around town. It wouldn't take much to make this an attractive green space and the addition of some trees would make the air healthier for all. I and other neighborhood gardeners would tend it.

Folks turning into our neighborhood would smile to see the beauty of that space, all the while feeling gratitude for the preservation of the sanctity of our neighborhood. It wouldn't make money in the conventional sense, but there is always more than one bottom line. Please, think on these things.
