Firefighting Paper for English Class

For my English class I have to write an argumentative paper. I am choosing a firefighting topic because I love it and it makes it seem as if I put myself into the paper. I am thinking of Firefighters VS Non-Firefighters. This just really upsets me and drives me crazy, worse than people that have had or are getting an abortion! Anyways, what I mean by this is that non-firefighters have no idea what us firefighters go through, until they get into an accident or their house burns. They literally have no clue unless it happens to them. Hopefully you understand the point that I am trying to make here. Sorry if you don't. If you have any input on this topic or perhaps a better argumentative topic for an English paper, please let me know!

Kayli, I'm curious. You don't like people commenting on fire fighters since they have no idea what we go through, yet you are willing to comment on people choosing to have an abortion. I assume you have had to make that choice, or in your time as a fire fighter have had the singular joy of rushing a woman who had tried to perform an abortion on herself to the hospital before she bleeds to death (took a lot of booze to chase that memory away).

Alternatively, you could write a paper on intellectual consistency.

Very Good paper Kayli! As a training officer I was very moved by your writing. If I were your teacher I would score you an A+ right now on the rough draft. I also am on facebook I'll look you up. Hope all goes well.

Be trainable ans stay safe out there,
J.D.

no i havent ever had to make that decision before...ive seen quite a lot of things in my time...i thought it would have been a good argumentative paper to be able to put my self into so it made it become a better paper. thats just it tho vic...the "non-firefighters" have no idea what us firefighters do and what we go thru. they think lifes all good until they have a love one lost in an accident or they arrive home to find that their house is on fire...i really hope u understand what im tryin to say here...
