It may seem counterintuitive that a person’s pursuit for happiness leads to them being less happy. Though in an article written to evaluate the core belief of a psychologist who survived the perils of a concentration camp argues this being the case. That is the core message of the book, Man’s search for meaning, is that happiness cannot be pursued and that there is value in human suffering. This notion completely flies in the face of those held near the hearts of many Americans. Though this is a notion that I personally agree with. People do place a certain amount of stake in their personal happiness and this does lead to more confusion down the line. One can’t simply be happy. There are some situations where one just can’t. And not being happy isn’t a mark in a person’s character either. Happiness is just an emotion, one of several in fact and a person cannot be expected to feel happy all the time because if they are then they’re not really happy. They’re comfortable and people can’t be comfortable forever.
It may seem counterintuitive to believe that only women are raped(I believe this is the article that pretains to men defining rape). There are several cases that prove this false. There have been several cases of female teachers abusing their power and engaging in sexual activities with their male students. Which constitutes rape. Sure women and girls and those who identify as being feminine may feel more comfortable in sharing their sexual assault, and even with this there are still stereotypes against women who speak out about their assault, it can still happen to men. So an act that can be in acted against both sexes should be able to be defined by both sexes.
It may seem counterintuitive that there would be a boycott in regards to the polio vaccine. But in 2003 that’s what happened. Of course people want to be more cautious of what goes into their bodies as someone who is trying to lose weight I understand all too well. But to openly reject a vaccine for a disease that has ravaged entire populations is frankly ludicrous. They should reject the vaccine because their injecting an unknown substance some person with a medical degree, who probably doesn’t know what the substance is made of either, told them to. Who cares that there are people with immune systems that are too weak to even get the vaccine so they would be more protected if more people were willing to get it.

Counterintuitive Spring 2024 
These are so different I can’t decide on one way to provide feedback for the set, TPOT, so I think I’ll leave just a few observations on each and see how much you might be interested in revising.
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
This is the most thorough of the three, and it makes reasonable observations. But it’s also the summary that demonstrates the largest number of serious syntax problems. You may still be gaining fluency is English as a second or additional language, TPOT. If so, please let me know. I’ve had a career in ESL and can be pretty helpful.
Your analysis wanders a bit and doubles back on itself, but the biggest improvement you could make to it would be to phrase your claims as legitimate sentences.
This one is fine
This one is not a legal sentence, but it can be fixed a couple of ways. I’d love to talk you through the options if you’re willing.
This one is also not a correct sentence, but the elimination of just one word makes it good.
There’s a word missing from this sentence. Without it, the sentence makes no sense.
This one repeats an error you’ve made above. It’s a simple fix.
The rest don’t make grievous errors of syntax, but they could all be polished. I have recommendations for that, too. Let me know how you’d like to proceed. We could Zoom or meet after class if you want some “tutoring.”
ONLY WOMEN ARE RAPED.
Here, I’m confused because you haven’t identified what article you’re summarizing. I can’t really judge how well you summarize without reading the original material. I see nothing in the article “Men Define Rape” to match the summary you suggest, so I can’t assess your work very well.
POLIO VACCINE BOYCOTT
This very brief entry written without the syntax problems that spoil the others, but it’s too brief to be really highly graded. I agree with you that vaccines are wonderful and completely advisable, but it anything is REALLY counterintuitive about vaccines, it’s that to protect yourself from a disease you should inject some of that disease into your bloodstream. When you say it that way, it sounds crazy.
I’m posting a provisional grade at Canvas that I hope you’ll want to improve.
Please Reply one way or the other.
