Topic Proposal
The object I have chosen as my text for Essay #2 is my cell phone. The cell phone's main purpose is to allow the owner of the device to be able to communicate verbally with their friends and loved ones no matter where they are. So if someone is somewhere where a regular phone is unavailable to use they could just use their cell phone to talk to the person in question who they wish to talk to. The cell phone also allows the user to text someone as opposed to calling them regularly and in addition to that they can also download games, ring tones, screen savers, and also access the Internet to check sports scores or look up the latest news. Other functions of the device include the ability for sites like Facebook to communicate with you automatically if anything happens that you'd want to know about. The cell phone is silver and is worn and beaten from the many times its been dropped, kicked, or otherwise physically assaulted. However it still works perfectly which is a testament to its strong construction. It is a flip phone which means it can be flipped close to protect the buttons and the screen from any damage. Its buttons are lit so they can be seen in the dark. The cell phone however requires you to sign up with a network to use and if a problem does occur, you generally are in trouble as the help line is inadequate to say the least. The cell phone is marketed toward teenagers and anyone with a job that demands the employee not be in an office for 12 hours. Generally the cell phone is advertised for everyone although the primary consumers are young adults and businessmen. The cell phone is proof that the world is becoming more technologically inclined and is relying less and less on more archaic methods like mail.
Thesis Statement:
This paper will demonstrate that the cell phone is integrel to the growing world of business as well as being important in the lives of young adults and that its continued and varied use signifies the world's adaptation to a newer age where technology is more relied upon and that its users are not wealthy but more socially inclined than those without a cell phone.

Devin, this is a good start. Consider the following things as you develop and organize your argument. You mentioned a good deal of the features your phone has, but you did not say what brand it is. Is the phone on the cheaper or more expensive side? What features, if any, does it have that other phones from the same-price range are lacking? What features does it lack? Is it considered to be a fancy phone or a must have? It looks like it is durable, but who would need a durable phone? Is it big? Is it something you could fit into your pocket easily? Is it stylish? How long would it stay “in style”? What about the different options? How soon will they become outdated? Would you get a few years of use out of it or will you likely replace it after a couple of seasons? Would people 20-40 years older than you want to have a phone like this or would it be inappropriate for this group? Why?
