"Transmissions From Camp Trans"
In this Rogerian style writing the claim opposes the exclusion of transsexual women from joining Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival.
"Dark Webs Goth Subcultures in Cyberspace"
This writing style is Toulmin and the claim states that indivduals of the Gothic subculture use cyberspace [the internet] to communicate with one another, to meet people similar to them, receive insight from others, and to share ideas and beliefs.
"The Truck Stop as Community and Culture"
In this classic style writing, the claim suggests that truckers can be compared to cowboys. [Suggests the nomadic lifestyle in which both subcultures share.]
"House for the Homeless"
In the Rogerian style piece the claim states that homeless individuals should not be entirely disreguarded like they are, they are not worthless, they are living beings.
Regarding my paper, I still feel like I have a bit to do. I want to visit my field site this weekend or within the next two weeks or so. I have arrangements to speak to two individuals, one who is currently a part of the 21st century Gothic subculture and the other who is a former Goth. I want to make a claim about religion [Atheism] but I'm not sure how much I could possibly write about that. I am looking into the Gothic fashion style and what colours represent [the stereotypical 'black' and dark colours]. I feel as if I am complete with my research, I just want to get some more insight from others. I haven't started my rough draft but will after I possibly visit my field site.
As for peer review, I would like to know how well my claim relates to the overall theme of my paper. Does it capture the reader's attention? Did I leave the reader with questions at the end?

i feel you chose a great topic to write about because many people put gothic people down or make them out of something there not. So now you have the opportunity to actually get to knwo them and what they are about and cancelling out any pre-judgments. If you need any other interview source there is a girl in my speech class who is Gothic and she did her speech on goths and she knows a lot of stuff about her subculture.Good Luck!
