Article: The best farewell parties revolve around a specific theme that honors your guest. Themes typically highlight the next part of this person's journey and commemorate your time together. If your friend is moving away think about what kind of themes would work. You might want to host a "bon voyage" party that utilizes themes of travel and exploration. Maybe your party highlights some of the best local things your friend loves. In addition, you can introduce some culture and cuisines that are local to the next place your friend is going. Maybe the guest of honor is leaving work and moving to a new company. You might want to throw a party that highlights all the great work this person did at your office. Incorporate your theme into the invitations, food, decorations, etc. For example, if your friend is moving to another state or country, you could make cupcakes with that place's colors. You can even make toppers that have a map of the new location on one side and the place your friend is moving from on the other. Choose an appropriate place to hold the party. It could be at an office, a restaurant, or even at your own home. The location should be a combination of someplace easy to throw a party and a place your guest will enjoy. For a family member going overseas for a while, home is a good choice. For a co-worker who is retiring or changing jobs, the office or a favorite local restaurant is suitable. Think about what the guest of honor would like. Remember that you're holding the party for your friend. It should be somewhere this person will cherish. For example, if your friend is moving away you could hold a party at the bar or restaurant you all frequent. See if you can rent it out for a few hours. The location should be somewhere special and somewhat intimate. You want to be able to have a good time without other people distracting you or being distracted by you. Invite people well in advance so that most people will be free to attend. When sending out invitations, think about who the guest of honor would want at the party. Invite close friends and family first. Think about your budget and keep the guest list intimate or smaller if you have a smaller budget, or if you know your guest of honor wouldn't want a large party. Unless it's a surprise party, don't forget to invite your guest of honor. You could even send a personalized special invitation. Sending out physical invitations is a great way to get people to attend the farewell party. Decorate the invitations in a way so that these are part of the theme. If your friend is moving, you could make invitations that look like a plane ticket. Print where the person is leaving from and going. Add information on the ticket that details the time and location of the party. Ask guests to RSVP by a date a two or three weeks before the party so you can plan for food accordingly. You can also create an event on Facebook. Social media is a great way to invite people and discuss the details of the party. Create a social media event along with physical invites. People won't always track the invite if it's solely from social media. Plus, the physical invitation is a great party favor and can be used as part of a farewell gift or memory board. However, if you don't want to do physical invitations you can design a colorful e-vite as well. You should get the guest of honor something to remember this time by. A sentimental gift is a great way to send your friend or co-worker off with lasting happy memories. Ask the people who are attending to contribute in some way. If you feel uncomfortable asking people for money that's ok. You can let the guests know that you are planning on getting or making something for the guest of honor. Explain that you'd be grateful for any contributions. Offer alternative ways for people to pitch in. If you don't want to just ask for money, consider asking people to help get decorations, setup, make or bring food, etc. Any type of contribution helps.

Article: Cats can be trained to move on command using clicker training and a target stick. You can buy a clicker for training at a local pet shop. A target stick is simply a long stick you use to guide your cat on and off surfaces. You can use any long stick you want, such as a wooden rod you would buy at a craft store. To start, you want your cat to learn to follow the stick. Place the target stick near your cat's nose. As soon as it starts sniffing the stick, move the stick. If the cat follows the stick with their nose, click the clicker. Give the cat a reward, like a small treat. This will teach the cat it should follow the clicker stick to get rewarded. For a few days, spend short training intervals teaching your cat to follow the stick. Once your cat consistently follows the stick, you can train your cat to stay off furniture. Choose a command to use to get your cat off furniture. The command can be something like, "No" or "Get off." You want your cat to eventually jump off the furniture in response to this command. Each time you see your cat on the furniture, get your training stick. Say your command while guiding your cat off the furniture. Reward your cat with a small treat when they obey. If you consistently guide your cat off furniture each time you see them on a couch or counter, they will eventually respond to the command without the help of treats or a training stick.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get a clicker and target stick. Teach the cat to follow the stick. Pick a command. Guide the cat down when saying the command.
Article: The most standard way to organize your body paragraphs is to do so by separating them into sections that identify the logos, ethos, and pathos. The order of logos, ethos, and pathos is not necessarily set in stone. If you intend to focus on one more than the other two, you could briefly cover the two lesser appeals in the first two sections before elaborating on the third in greater detail toward the middle and end of the paper. For logos, identify at least one major claim and evaluate the document's use of objective evidence. For ethos, analyze how the writer or speaker uses his or her status as an "expert" to enhance credibility. For pathos, analyze any details that alter the way that the viewer or reader may feel about the subject at hand. Also analyze any imagery used to appeal to aesthetic senses, and determine how effective these elements are. Wrap things up by discussing the consequences and overall impact of these three appeals. This method is just about as common as organizing your paper by rhetorical appeal, and it is actually more straight-forward. Start from the beginning of the document and work your way through to the end. Present details about the document and your analysis of those details in the order the original document presents them in. The writer of the original document likely organized the information carefully and purposefully. By addressing the document in this order, your analysis is more likely to make more coherent sense by the end of your paper. Rely on hard evidence rather than opinion or emotion for your analysis. Evidence often include a great deal of direct quotation and paraphrasing. Point to spots in which the author mentioned his or her credentials to explain ethos. Identify emotional images or words with strong emotional connotations as ways of supporting claims to pathos. Mention specific data and facts used in analysis involving logos. A rhetorical analysis can make an argument, but you need to be scholarly and reasonable in your analysis of the document. Avoid use of the first-person words "I" and "we." Stick to the more objective third-person.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Organize your body paragraphs by rhetorical appeals. Write your analysis in chronological order, instead. Provide plenty of evidence and support. Maintain an objective tone.
