IDEAS 1) Health care, should everyone receive this? I believe that their should be a effort to give everyone a chance to receive health care. Some are just unfortunate and loss their job with provided them with health care. People should be able to see a doctor at a reasonable price.

2) Should their be a " no child left behind act"? I their should be a act that provides kids with the opportunity to get educated. With the no child left behind all children should be able to receive a type of education. Some kids are unable to attend school because of their home life so this will give them a equal opportunity.

3) Should how we treat our environment be regulated? Mostly everyone has seen the weather chages outside, with intense hurricanes and somewhat odd weather patterns. This could be a issue called global warming, and we are the major cause of this. We defenatly need to take action against hurting our environment.

NEW PAPER 3 [|paper 3.doc]

[|draft 1 def..doc]

For me as a writer I don't think i really used appeal in my stories. I think i may of use it a little in one piece of writing where i had to describe a tree and how it flowed. For example, the wind was blowing so hard and the branches from the old willow tree where hitting the window, making a loud screeching sound that filled the empty black house. Now I am not sure if that is even appealing to the readers, because i still don't understand what writing with appeal means.

I know i will have to work pretty hard on all three of the appeals. Logos might be the easier of the three because i can give stats and lots of examples. For pathos and ethos i may need to figure out how to put more emotion in my writing and appeal to there sense. Usually when i write don't ever think about how people will react to my examples i just tell a story with out putting emotional details into my writing.

I think i am pretty good a giving example because i have a lot of stories to tell and i have heard many stories that are very interesting. Although i have examples i don't necessarily explain them with enough detail to allow my reader to relate or get emotionally into what i am writing. I think i am logical, because i have a lot of common sense. I am usually the first one out of all my friends to understand all the funny little jokes that use quick thinking. I would tell you one but i really not a joke teller so this is probably the only time i am bad at giving a example.

As for being a moral person i think i am interchangeable. I mean when i am with a adult who has there opinion on how what a women should be in society, I have understanding thats how they where raised to think. So i have to have understanding on how they think and some how incorporate that within what i think is moral. I do understand people have beliefs so i when i talk to people that i don't know i usually let them do more talking so i can fiquare out how much ethics they have. So when i write i try to avoid slang that is considered disrespectful to people. I can't say i always use a ethical approach to my speech. When i am with friends, i use no morals i say things which i don't even think are ethical because they are words or phrases that mean so many different things. For example with us talking about languages when my friends says " whats up hoe" i don't care but if a random person said it i would get pissed.

With the article that i am reading know they really don't hit me emotionally because there isn't any stories or example that have real meaning. The one story you told in class had a emotional appeal. So with you telling your story that is going to help me understand how to use that. As for the logos and ethos the author used these well. For logos he just keep putting in examples that told you about music lyrics using bad forms of language and how its would be almost impossible to get rid of bad lyrics, it stats that there are groups that try to make a effort to ban those words. For ethos i think they put ethics into it because they would write the N- word l as the "n word" so they are trying to be respectful to the people who dislike that word.

Summary and Analysis

In the internet blog “Teaching grammar stops violence” by Dennis Baron, discuses the issues with grammar. In the article Baron use his wit to tell people his opinion on the issue that good grammar will stop riots. He believes that better grammar won’t stop violence in the world. His main arguments are shown by giving examples to illustrate how ridiculous people sound for example he talks about De Robien’s proposal of which was to focus on grammar more then other subjects. De Robien thinks that if we were able to express our emotions and our ideas more clearly then we would be able to stop the riots. He also shows the rebuttal with Jim Knight the British Minister of schools, he believes that when more grammar lessons start that will make students riot even more. He also puts his opinion in by showing how the Secretary of Defense could not express ideas clearly so that is why we are in war right now. The logos would have to be showing the most in examples from others. Just by showing what higher ranked people think and how they express what they say shows good examples. Pathos is probably the weakest of the three because it’s harder to find his sarcasm. For ethos he seems like he is creditable because he uses examples with people who are important. He was weak in his arguments because he didn’t really did not put enough of his opinion he just put little points in. There wasn’t any images to make the article appeal to people, but I pick this article because its title pulled me in.

The definition of the word brute....

The word brute means a person that has a lack of respect toward others, or having no feelings for others. In the story involving the doctor and the patient I believe the patient was the more of a brute. The patient may have been intoxicated but that is still no excuse for the way he acted. This big black had to be brought in by four cops. The patient wouldn’t calm down, he was yelling back at the doctor flaring his arms. He had to be strapped down and he still was moving head making it impossible for the doctor to fix his cut. The patient was being rude to the doctor who potentially saved his life. The cut wasn’t significant but he was losing blood fast and he was highly intoxicated. I feel the doctor had to right to do something to make this patient calm down, since he could not use drugs he had to do something. Piercing the ears doesn’t inflict that much pain it was where if he moved his head he would rip his own ear lobes off. So I think the doctor had to do what it takes to save life even if means sewing a guys ear to the mattress. The doctor is a brute at this point and time but the patient is most likely a brute when he isn’t drunk.

JOURNAL 3 1/6

The argument strategies i used were induction, reduction and also illustration, narration and Description. Well I use induction because it would help prove my point it help me tell something then back it up with examples. This forced me to come up with good examples and also come up with a statment and backing it up. I also used narration description in my paper, i used this to help me show that there was a difference in the word hate and hatred. Well i think it did help organize my argument a little so i use a description then use induction to prove my points. It is definetly making more difficult to write because i never used a strategy before so thats new but i think i like that. My draft that i have right now is still unorganized because i didn't understand how to incorporate the strategies in but now i understand and it will be all fixed in my second draft.

Pathos, Ethos and Logos, well they are in there just not very strong i really need to go back and capture the readers emotions more. I have a strong argument i just feel like i get off the argument a lot in the paper. Though i have alot of examples backing up my points so i did use logos in the paper. this is by far not my strength but i still have a couple more drafts to write then my paper will be a whole lot better.
