 * Read Paper #1 and Paper #2**

Journal #3 Well the thing is I didnt really write that many arguments there was only one and it was saying the difference between the word fearless which is the one I chose and the word stupidity which a lot of people compare the 2 with. In order for me to prove my statement I had to use real life examples and I did. I actually used a lot of them so that people could see what the real difference is. I thought that this really did help me organize it better because then It didnt take me off the subject and it made me focus on what the paper is about. As far as my logos, pathos, and ethos goes i feel that I hit them hard and I got my point across well enough to understand them.

January/30/2008 After reading the short story called Brute and after the debate that we had in class I was fighting for the doctor and how the patient was the brute. Brute can be defined as a brutal, insensitive, or crude person. I know for a fact that the patient was being the brute not the doctor because of how he was acting. The doctor apologized to the patient and the cops for sewing his ears to the table but there was no way in hell that the drunken patient would apologize to the doctor even though he doesnt have an idea of what happend that night. The doctor at the end saved the patients life doing what he thought was necessarily to get the job done, and do what hes best at. The patient did absolutely nothing but make the doctor pissed off when he came in all drunk and didnt know what the hell was going on. People can argue that the doctor was the brute because of how he sewed his ears to the table but thats the only way that the doctor felt would make it so that the patient would aty still and he would still be able to save his life.

January 20, 2008 A chimpanzee named washoe and in fact learned american sign kanguage was found dead on october 30, 2007 at the age of 42.(article) They say right before he was found dead that his last words so called as sign language was said to be "Mehr Licht" which means more light. What he meant by that I dont know. Alot of people now a days want to know how its that easy to train chimps to do sign language when they arent humans they are an animal. The main problem that the researchers have during this article is that they cannot train all the other chimps to do the same thing like they did with washoe. They talked about how washoe knew right off the bat which was the funny thing. None then other they were also trying to see what the deal was when they were trying but they said washoe just did something that no other chimp could do. I am following what the reader is truing to say and he just wants to be able to make sure that when every chimp is born to make them learn early so that they can be like washoe because if they dont then they wont be able to be like washoe. As far as his opinion goes I think that it turned me to agree with him more then not because they talked about how different they are between washoe and the other chimps. The images are showing just what its like to have the chimps learning to do sign language. Watching the chimps do there thing it shows that they arent pissed off when they are trying to be taught they actually do everything and with washoe he did eberything he was told and didnt get mad with anything.

I have done a ton of writings and to be honest I havent really ever thought about these three things at all really. I need to work on all of them because I guess it never really came to my attention that I needed to thing about those three things. I am good at giving examples and stats and things like that just i never really thought about those three things during my writing. To be honest i dont think im that good at being logic i just think that I am very basic and i need to work on that as well. At times I do it really depends on what my topic is and what I am thinking about at that time.**

1.) When I was thinking about this article as I was reading I got the same feeling about the fact that most of the kids including me talk the way that we were brought up. Going to school and taking english classes is what makes you talk with better style and all that. Is it safe to say that the only class that we can learn to talk and make up language is in english or could you get it from another class as well?

2.) In today's school's do you think its so much trying to teach the kids language or is it more of writing and all that? I believe that the big difference in today then before was just that. They focused more on teaching you how to talk and act and have no accents and all that the today is more of the writing and becoming a better person with literature?

3.) Why is it that big of a deal that people have different accents and why is it bad to make sure that they dont have one because of the fact that they might of been brought up that way?
