Journal #10 - Persuasion of the Mints

In my opinion, mints are among some of life's true delights. I would spend this blog talking about how tasty they are as my reasoning for wanting you to bring them, but unfortunately I believe that is what you meant by "faulty logic". Despite the amazing, calming, and refreshing sensation brought on by the taste of mints, I have more logical reasons for wishing that you bring them in.

Are you aware of the health benefits of mint? Sure, they taste good. But, they also do wondrous things for our bodies. Our class is in the afternoon, so therefore the students in our class have already consumed their lunches. A good percentage of those students probably had a school lunch, which, despite attempts by the kitchen staff, are not very healthy. Unhealthy foods cause indigestion. The aroma, and therefore the taste, of mint soothes our stomachs by activating our salivary glands to produce more digestive enzymes. Our digestion would be working so well if you brought in mints! It is a fact that it is significantly harder to pay attention while you are feeling ill. Healthy students are happy students!

Mint does not only help ourselves, though. It helps the people around us. Again, I will bring up how this class is after lunch. I will also bring up that teenagers are not the cleanliest people in the world. As much as people try to keep up with dental hygiene, there are still some that forget. Being in an English class, we often find ourselves having to speak up and reflect on certain topics. Well, when we have stinky breath and we have to talk, bad things happen! So, Mr. Langley, with the help of Brach's Star Brites mints, we could have amazing smelling breath. That would make you, our classmates, and ourselves much more comfortable in this class. Who would be able to speak up in class if the moment they try to they are blasted in the face with disgusting odors?

You can see now that bringing in Brach's Star Brites mints would be a major help to the class as a hole. Not only that, but the taste would brighten the lives of us all. Considering all of these reasons, how could you not bring in Brach's Star Brites mints.
