18. W ARM U P New Page Title: 8/20 Journal Write silently for the full time. Prompt: Over the summer, I had to argue with my husband about what time of day to fly from California. I appealed to his emotions when I told him how awful we’d feel if we left in the middle of the night. I also used my authority as his wife and my daughter’s mom to encourage him to respect my ideas. Write about a time you had to argue for something, and how you used emotions, logic, and/or authority.
