In the video, her controling idea is that guys should try different tactics to get hott chicks than to get regular women. she uses comercials that support this claim, and goes further into detail how hott chicks like: smells, burgers, and cable. overall, it was a good example of an arguement, with support, and a fairly good idea.

i fight about





Stupid People - its something everyone close to me knows about me, i could be considered just impatient, but thats just what my mom tells me. everyday i never seem to get surprised by the geniuses of the world driving like idiots, or acting like theyre just now hitting puberty. people that park terrible, and dont know how to read signs that are right in front of them. people who think they are above all, yet cant do anything right. having worked with the public for several years, a lot come to my mind about stupid people



People will probably think im too judgemental on the intelligence of the public, but some will also agree with me. i will do some research on this, because i think it could be a good, probably funny paper. the people who dont agree with me are the extremely nice people, which isnt bad. i hope that the paper doesnt seem harsh in any way, just expressing my point of view on the subject.

Rhetorical Response 4

Thunder from the right on gun ruling is an argument essay discussing the opinions on gun control laws in the united states from several conservative court justices. Antonin Scalia is the main creator of these discussions in the case, all explaining his point of view on the subject, which is not supporting heavy restrictions on the ownership of firearms.

i see this example as being a good representation of a argument essay, yet the material in it did seem to not flow good, and i know i got lost a few times and found myself re-reading sections. it does include the opinions of different sides by not trying to win the readers opinion, and supports each with fairly strong evidence

In Class:free write + Man in the Irony Mask

getting up at seven on a tuesday is so awesome. i could be sleeping right now, my roomate is. this will definitley be something i change for semesters in the future. the man in the irony mask was sorta an interesting profile over Stephen Colbert. it makes it easier when you know the person who is being profiled. i learned a lot of information about stephen colbert, it was somewhat an eye opener about the guy who show i watched all last year.

Rhetorical Response: Home Girl

Now that ive read home girl, i thought it was a good profile work. the writer went into very much detail about Badu and her life, in a day, and over the years. it was informative and catchy, which is what you want. the introduction let the reader know who Badu is and, opened up the rest of the essay. i learned how even though shes a r&b/soul music star, she still stays down to earth and wants to help in the community where she grew up. she has four assistants who help her everyday and even with the help she still seems busy.

culture is also a huge thing to Badu. she is very spiritual and follows her religion strongly. she considers much of what happens in her life related to her religious and family background. her heritage is what keeps her in dallas as oppose to leaving town like other celebrities. its attributes like this that Badu has that i would hope to find in many more of the celebrities today.

In Class: Image

I think the image of king kong is the coolest of the images. i feel like laughing when i see it because it is so old and cheesy looking. i think its more interesting to look at than the others not only because it has more information on, but also because it grabs me attention more. i feel that if i saw this image when king kong first came out in 1933, that i would want to go see it. i would feel that it was the next best thing in the entertainment world. the graphics on the image are well done and keep me asking questions and wanting to know when and what happens.

Theres a giant monkey, a pretty blond, a dinosaur, civilians, and a city. seeing this for the first time i would be curious, i would want to know more, know what exactly this image was talking about. seeing the words king kong, would make me wonder who or what is king kong. overall there seems to be a great plot somewhere, its not visible through just the image, but theres more to it, the image is deeper and pulls you in to find out more about it. right now the images shows me sort of the history of king kong, it being the first poster for the first film version, and it impresses me how its has changed yet not changed at all over the years. having seen the most recent film of king kong, and understanding the story really brings out a lot for me from the image.

The majority of the color was a combination of light/dark green and yellow. these colors brought excitement and curiousity to me. made me wonder yet have a sense of suspense and action. the bottom right corner has a circular picture with people with scared expresions pointing towards king kong, the background is red, which lets me know its scary or intense emotion its bringing out, sort of a foreshadowing of events.

The first image to grab me is the giant monkey with the blonde in his hand. i see it first and notice the vintage feeling it brings with it. next comes the enlarged text of the words KING KONG let me feel the intensity of the image. next i see the dinosaur and king kong fighting, which portrays some of the scenes within the film. then the setting the in the city lets me know where action takes place.

this image trys to make me feel the excitement and story plot of the film. knowing its history and poularity, i know that its a great work.
