Paraphrase: Save water, save the world. Gallons of water are wasted every year, causing shortages in clean water. These shortages lead to several deaths every year. Places like California have gone through droughts that call for a need to safe water for cleaning drinking.

Gun control memes:

https://llwproductions.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/meme-deer-shooting-back.jpg
This appeals to us because it is a funny way to say someones position. They used a joke, and a picture of a man everyone knows to make a meme about gun control. To support its position it asks a question, and then answers it with a punch line that delivers their stance. For a serious audience we would change it to saying "No one needs 30 rounds in their gun, because deer can not shoot back.". To change its medium we would switch the position and explain why so many rounds are needed.

https://stophittingyourbrother.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/gun-control-memes.jpg
On this website there are two different memes that have two different positions. The fist one has a quote from Ronald Reagan saying how he feels about guns. He said that it was okay to have guns for self defense but a machine gun is too much and no one really needs one in their home. The second meme has the word guns repeated several times next to phases that represent what we use to defend things like our homes and president. At the bottom it reads "We defend our children with a sign that reads 'this is a GUN FREE ZONE'". The quote from a historic person works because people trust his opinion and they logically can follow what he says. The second meme speaks to peoples emotions because their children or niece is not being protected while at school or in certain environments. To change them we would make them either appeal to someones comedic genre or have them be more serious depending on the audience.

This memes is a picture of a man trying not to laugh while pretending to think. Around him it says "That Facebook post really make me think about my stance on gun control, said no one ever".  This appeals to us because it is funny and relatable. Really it means that it is hard to sway peoples opinions, but when you're on Facebook and something about gun control comes up you kind of laugh and scroll past. The thing we would change is maybe using a picture of someone we know. We would change the content to change the medium. We would make the meme have a position on gun control itself.

understanding writing analysis group in class lab

What we now understand about analyzing writing:
You need to follow certain steps, in order.
You need to know what questions to ask.
You need to know what the point of the analysis is.
How to identify patterns in data and info.
You need to know how to connect to readers.
You need to look at text and see how it supports your claim.
You need to know how authors establish authority .
You need to know what emotions the text appeals to.
You need to know that analysis has to be instructional and informational.

How "Stay Sweet As You Are" fits the criteria: 

The author uses a clear point to establish the topic sentence. He claimed that advertisements aimed at women encourage them to like beauty products that reinforce a male's role in their life.  He identified patterns in his data by analyzing the advertisements. He specifically picked apart ads that used men to reinforce the product. In the soap ad he proved that the soap was showing that women who want to get married need to have clear skin and even if they have wit and grace men wont be attracted to them. He looked at the text in the ads and explained how this supported his claim. He also knew what the emotions in the advertisements were and showed that they were trying to shame women into buying the products. He also is informative in his analysis by sticking to his claim, and using three different ads to prove his point. The essay "Stay Sweet as You Are" definitely fits the criteria to be an analysis essay.

differences between my second and third paper

there were a couple differences between my first and second paper even though both papers were research papers. the first difference is that the 2nd paper i used advertisements and in in the 3rd paper i used articles on websites. another diffrence is the 3rd paper is more of a argumentative paper in the second beaus the second is more of an comparison paper. the last difference I've seen in the papers is in the 2nd paper i talked more one sided while in the 3rd paper i talked about both sides of the argument.

airlines comparison

I compared two websites to figure out which one was the best site to use to go on a vacation. The two sites I used were tripadviser.com and expidia.com. Trip adviser give hotel, restaurant and flight options just like Expidia. But what Expidia has unlike trip adviser is places to rent cars and go on cruises. Also Expidia advertises lots of deals on their site unlike trip adviser so if you were on a budget Expidia would be the best option. They also have many package deals. Expidia also goes more in depth in what kind of hotels you’re looking for such as has a TV or if children are staying in the hotel. But one thing trip adviser dose have is it shows all of the award winning and top hotels around the world this year which Expidia does not have. In conclusion on expidia you can plan your whole trip on it without going to a different web site. On trip adviser you would have to go to many different web sites to plan your trip. I believe Expidia is the better travel site.

Enjoying reading

              Even if you don’t love to read everyone’s had an enjoyable experience from reading. Reading is a wonderful thing. You can gather lots of information from picking up any book and just reading a page or two. In my case it really improved my grades and improved my education experience as a whole  My first enjoyable experience occurred for me when I was ten I was in fourth grade and went to Green Mountain elementary. I struggled as a student. I had many problems when reading and trying to comprehend literature. I was placed in many different study groups and classes prior to this time to help me be more successful at reading and writing. But there was one problem with this. Reading and writing weren’t enjoyable for me at all. I would doing anything possible not to read or write. I would skip a study group I was supposed to go to during recess on certain days. Almost every time I had a writing assignment due I would pretend I was sick at home just to not attend class. I wouldn’t do any reading or writing at home for homework. But in fourth grade a lot of this changed. 

      My fourth grade teachers name was Mrs. Langholff. She was a tall woman with short black hair that was usually curled. She was a mid-aged woman, I believe in her mid-30’s. She had two sons that went to the school also.She was one of my favorite teachers of all time she was always a kind lady and helped me during this time because I had just transferred from Sand Hill Elementary and I was having a hard transition. 

      Once a month our class would go to library to check out books. The walls of the library were all white with large bookcases lining them full of books. In the center of the large room was smaller book cases running parallel to each other. Next to this off to the side was a section full of tables to sit at and read. We had a whole month to read the book. The library was always quite because as I remember we had a very strict librarian who didn’t like any noise. But for some reason, I had no idea why but she was always nice to me. I don’t remember her name but she was a very short woman with short black hair. She was an older lady I could tell because she had a very wrinkly face and many grey hairs. The first couple months of this I always picked one of the few books that I had already read or books that previous teacher read to the class. But after a while I ran out of books to do this for so I had to come to grips with the situation and actually pick a book to read. The only problem though was I had no idea what to read and was very bad at deciding on what to read.

      At first I just walked around and talked to friends and looked at picture books. But eventually everyone had sat down with books that they had checked out and I was the only one still looking. So after a long time of myself  walking around the library mostly just trying to pass time and all of the other kids were sitting down reading Mrs. Langholff came up to me, And said “Do you need help finding something to read?"

I did need help so I said “Yeah, I can find anything.” 

 “What kind of books do you like to read?” replied Mrs. Langholff

 “Adventure” I said

“Have you read Harry Potter?” said Mrs. Langholff

 “No I don’t like Harry Potter.” I explained

 “Have you read The Series of Unfortunate Events?” said Mrs. Langholff

 “No. What’s that?” I questioned 

“It’s about three orphans that try to escape a man their placed in foster care with” said Mrs. Langholff 

“Okay I’ll try that I guess” I replied with 

   So I went over to the check out to check out the book. The librarian looked at the book and said “This has always been a popular book! And one of my all-time favorites.”                                  

    I still wasn’t convinced to read it even after my teacher and librarian both recommended it and said it was good. I didn’t end up reading the book at all with the class time I had in the library. I didn’t even start reading the book until the whole month was almost over. A couple days before my time was up to read the book my mom finally forced me to start reading the book. Once I started reading the book I didn’t stop until I was about half way through! I was a slow reader so I had been reading for couple hours. I was so intrigued by the story I couldn’t stop for the longest time which was very unusual for me. Normally I hate reading and everything to do with it. Mainly because I’ve never been good at it so I never really tried. The next day I came home laid in my bed and I read the last half of the book again without stopping. I was so interested in the story about the orphans that were placed into a very bad foster home. I went to school the next day and took the quiz on the book. I had gotten 100%. I was also so delighted that I received 100 %, I had whole new motive for doing my school work.  I enjoyed the book so much next time the class went to the library I checked out the next book in the series. For the rest of the year I continued going to the library and checking out the books until I read them all. From there on out it was easy to pick up almost any book and read it while keeping interest in it. 

     After discovering these books and reading the whole series I learned to enjoy reading. I became a daily reader. Before this time it was very rare for myself to actually pick up a book and decide to read it. Which I did almost every night after this time. This experience has overall made myself a better reader. If this moment did not happen my life could have been affected dramatically. Before this time I struggle very much with reading and I would need a lot of extra help from teachers and tutors.  It helped me with my education as a whole with subjects such as math, history, writing, and of course reading.                      

Literacy: A Lineage

Melanie Luken the author of Literacy: A Lineage begins her story of her life by explaining how important her father was in her life. her father was a writer, reader, and artist. her father was a stay at home dad for the most part and thought her the valuable lesson of how to write, which would stick with her for the rest of her life during christmas instead of get her father presents she would write stories for him. This would turn into a tradition for them. She would end up majoring in french but she had a great struggle with french because she didn't have any traditions for french which made it difficult for her to learn. she says how she may not be rich with money or physical things but she is rich in literature.  

rhetorical definition part 2

after reading more definitions of what rehetorical is i still believe that my previous definition is fairly accurate. But after reading more it has shown me that it is an art of communication or thinking usually in writing. it has also accrued to me that you can think rehetoricaly about almost anything in life.

It Gets Better Project

One of the more powerful videos i watched was the president Obama it gets better video. This video talks about how many people are bullied all the time and it needs to stop. the videos purpose is to help the bullied remember their not alone and they need to remember that they are important. the video gives options on how to seek help and tell an adult. it reminds people not to get down on yourself from what others say. i believe this video had a powerful point to help people that are being bullied.

Everyday Narratives

Stories i hear in one day:
1.friends talking about other funny stories about friends.
2.news stories on tv talking about what people are doing.
3. Facebook post talking about what people are doing with their day
4. my parents when they talk about how their day was at work
5. music when songs have a story in them

in class lab party

Balloons 
Could you stop at the store,
I don't mean to be a bore,
Thank you for going to the store.

Balloons I need now,

Could you go get me some please?

This party needs it. 

You could drop them off after
These things could be colorful,
Could you help me out with this.

Leave my house,
This party is too dope,
You weren't invited.

Nash: Hey I need your help
Friend: Sure, what do you need?
Nash: Could you go to the store, pick up some supplies, drop them off and then leave?
Friend: Sure, but leave?
Nash: Yeah, you aren't invited. Sorry.

Shopping list

Go to the store 

Get food from the store

Drop off the stuff at my home

Leave because you’re not invited

For Poetry it was necessary for us to consider what words would get the meaning across the quickest. For a play we had to consider how people talk to each other, and for our shopping list we had to think about things people can do to help us.

2nd paper rough draft

Dr. Sonia Bergert

            The medias views of cigarettes have changed many times over the past century. The dramatic change in the view of cigarettes is very well documented by looking at the ads in the past hundred years. In the 1950’s ads doctors actually recommended cigarettes. Later in the 1980’s ads doctors said that some cigarettes were better for you then others. In an ad in just the past few years it symbolizes that if you smoke cigarettes that you are eventually going to kill yourself. People have believed what the media has been said about cigarettes. This shows how the ads can influence how people think about products.

                        This 1950’s ad show how smoking is advertised by stating “more doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette”. This ad shows a doctor smoking a cigarette. This shows consumers that if doctors smoke cigarettes then why shouldn’t they too. Consumers wouldn’t think there would be any health concerns. this because doctors would normally be known for their health as well as knowing for any health concerns. This is what would drive many people to start smoking or smoke more. The ad also says that “doctors from every branch’s of medicine 113597 in all” recommended camels more than any other cigarette.
     

       Later in the 1980’s with research and with some knowledge of what cigarettes can do to you; ads started to claim that certain cigarettes were less irritating than others. According to 20,679 doctors “Luckies are less irritating”. This implies that Luckies are less irritating than any other cigarette making them healthier. Just like the last ad another strategy this ad used was

having doctors promote the cigarettes. In the picture the doctor seems really happy when holding the pack of Luckies which might make some buyers want to buy the pack to be happy. This ad would make people not a concerned about their health if the smoke.

       With more research on cigarettes these days’ people aren’t very fond of cigarettes. Most ads in the 20^th century only target the large Tabaco company’s. in todays world with as much research we have about cigarettes we know that they are very cancerous and cause many other side affects involving your health. Now on many Tabaco products there are warnings saying that the products can cause cancer and other side affects. With this ad it is a symbolic picture.

in the picture the man is smoking a cigarette. The smoke from the cigarette forms a gun that is pointed directly towards his head. The symbolic meaning behind what this picture is trying to say is if you smoke you will slowly kill yourself, and its another form of suicide. Also in very small text it says “Kill a cigarette save a life. Yours.” the meaning of this ad as a whole is you have to kill the habit cigarettes if you don’t want to kill yourself. This ad and many more like it makes consumers not want to smoke anymore.

    These three ads show that over time they have changed the views of people. The media

Thinking Rhetorically

     The question is what is rhetoric thinking? there is a lot to what rhetoric thinking is. to rhetorically think you have to be able to listen an analyze what someone is saying or has written. when analyzing you have to examine all of the points of view and ask yourself why that the person is thinking this way. To think rhetorically you have to do your research also, so you have a better understanding of the topic. also when in a discussion you have to give the other people your talking to and the things you've researched credit.    

Rhetorical Situations-Narratives

We all agreed that bravery and determination are the most things in the face of adversary and that this is indicated at the end of the story. Also we agreed that the point of view was first person narrative which let readers become emotionally connected and also allowed for Brideau’s commentary. I wrote that her use of surrealism and simple terms allowed her to bring emotion and life to the story. Other group members also added that her inclusion of details that brought out the humanity of the story made it seem more life-like. All of us put that the audience consisted of health care workers. As for how Brideau worked to sway them to her side, some of us put that she tried to make Lydia as relatable as possible by mentioning how much of a compassionate nurse she was, and other put that she used very personal and emotional words and phrases to appeal the pathos of the readers. Despite our differences in what we wrote, we all agreed with each other on our points on Brideau's persuasion techniques.

When "Lydia's Story" and Chapter 2 are put side by side it becomes apparent the relationship between the two. Most of the rhetorical strategies mentioned in chapter 2 appear in Lydia's story. It is very clear Brideau knows exactly who she is writing to in the way she tailors each sentence to best relate to and persuade the health care workers reading. Also, the way Brideau ties a relatively minor story back to a larger context, the support of Katrina survivors, is a masterful use of rhetoric. Chapter 2 and Lydia's Story also makes us realize the use of rhetoric in our own writing, especially our own bias. Many of the elements we incorporate into our writing subconsciously become clear, such as the way we change our writing styles and tones to better fit our expected audience.

Some of the stories that we all hear on a day-to-day basis include drama between people, various tasks and commonly occurring events during the day, tragedies to those we knew, and stories about unusual things we have previously done. These various types of narratives all include one recurring motif, the emotions of various people in differing situations. These narratives interest us because we relate to the people in them and learn new information that might help us in future situations.

Those around the same age as us and those with a sense of humor and those who were not afraid to expose their emotions were the most powerful to us. Short concise videos also increased the overall impact of the videos because they didn't water down the person's point. Longer videos which included the person narrating their own story were also very powerful in the way that they made us relate to the speaker.

In a History textbook, narrating is kept in a very neutral tone which makes the story telling uninteresting but also unoffensive or controversial. If a History narrative was presented in the form a a video game or movie, it would become much more interesting but at the same time might not get the main concept of what it is trying to teach across as well. A narrative such as a YouTube video is very visually interesting but if the narratives medium was changed to a text based format it would lose much of its appeal. A history textbook and a Youtube video are similar in that they both can convey a message but while a History Textbook tends to be lengthy and very explanatory a YouTube video is far more concise but at the sacrifice of depth.

the moral of my story 1st paper

1.       The moral of my story is that reading can help you become a better overall student. Reading books that I really enjoyed gave me more interest in reading. 

2.       My audience is my classmates. I assumed that my audience had similar experience to mine. I had to make my story interesting to feed my audience’s needs. I did this my being descriptive.

But in fourth grade a lot of this changed.

      My fourth grade teachers name was Mrs. Langholff. She was a tall woman with short black hair that was usually curled. She was a mid-aged woman, I believe in her mid-30’s. She dressed in black am usually long dresses from most of the times I can recall seeing her. She had two sons that went to the school also. One was named Conner the other was named Keagan. She was one of my favorite teachers of all time she was always a kind lady and helped me during this time because I had just transferred from Sand Hill Elementary and I was having a hard transition.

      Once a month our class would go to library to check out books. The walls of the library were all white with large bookcases lining them full of books. In the center of the large room was smaller book cases running parallel to each other. Next to this off to the side was a section full of tables to sit at and read. And off to the back of the room was a computer lab.  We had a whole month to read the book. The library was always quite because as I remember we had a very strict librarian who didn’t like any noise. But for some reason, I had no idea why but she was always nice to me. I don’t remember her name but she was a very short woman with short black hair. She was an older lady I could tell because she had a very wrinkly face and many grey hairs.

So after a long time of myself aimlessly walking around the library mostly just trying to pass time and all of the other kids were sitting down reading Mrs. Langholff came up to me, And said “Do you need help finding something to read? You’ve been walking around for 20 minutes and still don’t have a book.”

I did need help so I said “Yeah, I can find anything.”

 “What kind of books do you like to read?” replied Mrs. Langholff

 “Adventure” I said

“Have you read Harry Potter?” said Mrs. Langholff

 “No I don’t like Harry Potter.” I explained

 “Have you read The Series of Unfortunate Events?” said Mrs. Langholff

 “No. What’s that?” I questioned

Album Covers:
They suggests that your face sells a product a certain way. The softer sexier feel of the woman suggests that her music is for other women who enjoy soft maybe even pop music. The men have strong and serious poses. This suggests their music shouldn't be taken lightly and that they are serious artists. The eyes work on the viewer to tell them what the music is about. The woman has a certain soft feel behind her eyes that the men don't have.

Peace sign buttons:
These buttons suggest world peace is more important than wars. They do this by saying "peace" and "make love not war". The elements that work are the peace sign because a lot of people are familiar with them and worlds like love and war because a lot of controversy surrounds them.

Different types of symbols and images in the media can suggest what the topic of the item or selling point is. The first way you can see this is on album covers. Images of people on the cover can change the whole selling point of the music. A picture of a woman, the singer, having soft eyes and a sexy feel can sell to both women and men. Women are attracted to the album because the feel of the music is softer and could contain pop undertones. Men on their albums tend to be seen as  strong and almost cold on the cover. The music in those albums are seen as serious and important where as on the woman's album it is light hearted and sexy. Another way to see different images and symbols suggesting the topic is on buttons. On two different buttons they suggest that peace is important in life. On the first button it is easy to understand because of the common peace sign and the word peace. The words flow on the button and help to suggest a calming feel to it. The second button suggests that love is more important than war. It uses the peace sign again to suggest peace is more important than war. These symbols work because the faces have a certain tone and the symbols are common and recognizable to the public.

Immigration
 2. "America's economic growth is hovering around 2 percent, public debt is $16 trillion and rising, and job creation and labor market participation remain low. Embracing a more flexible legal immigration system can dramatically improve this situation...Immigrants increase economic efficiency by reducing labor shortages in low- and high-skilled markets"
   The united states is in so much debt that actually bringing immigrants into the country would benfit the economy.
