Opinions Story
Uber and lift in my option are two of one of the best things that came to Austin. Everyday during the summer I would go downtown to ride my bike with my friends.
My parents and my friends parents would have to take a lot of time out of their day just to take and pick us up from downtown everyday.
Once Uber and lift came along my parents were first not sure about it. Then my parents used uber on the way home from a party with their friends. After that me and all my friends would split the prices to Uber or Lift downtown.
Then Prop 1 came.... Prop one was made to force Uber and Lift to have very strict background checks on the drivers. I feel like background checks are very important, but I don't think that they should be so strict that they throw a very important company out of business.
I think that Uber and Lift should come up with a cheap but very good system for background checks. That way they can go back into business and help people who are in need of a ride.

Personal Essay - Opinion Pt.2
1. What was one idea that the writer gave in the Wide Range of Topics section that you can use as you start deciding on a topic? Whatever you care about is fair game to use as an essay topic.
2. What was one idea the writer gave in the Opinions Pieces section that you should remember as you are writing your piece? Details draw the reader in, generalizations keep them out. Be specific. Avoid using abstract expressions and phrases such as “the best day of my life”, “my happiest moment as a parent”, “I’d never known greater grief” to describe emotions of love, loss, anger, joy, satisfaction, etc.
3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write. While personal essays allows for the use of many fictional craft elements — dialogue, setting, point of view, characterization – if you use facts to anchor your piece or as a springboard for your opinions, you need to double-check them for accuracy. One factual error can prevent the reader from believing much else that you have to say.

3. What is their direct opinion about that topic? Please quote it directly from the story or do a really good job of paraphrasing. Senior night promised an entertaining matchup between two of the top lacrosse programs in the state. Coming into the game as the favorite, Westlake proved to be too much to handle for Lake Travis in a touted D1 lacrosse rivalry game on April 20. Westlake set the tone for the game right off the bat and didn’t look back, winning the game 13-8.
4. Did they address what the other side might think about their topic? The spark appeared to come in the form of a streaking run from center field into the Westlake third by Lake Travis junior Cade Green that ended in a goal. Unfortunately for Lake Travis, its team wasn’t able to harness the momentum and saw the game slowly slip from its hands. Westlake’s continuous pressure was too much to handle, and the Lake Travis defense bent until finally breaking for five more goals, making the final score 13-8.
