My Thoughts


as i read through the chapter i felt as though it was a little bit repetitive. after the second article i got the idea of ethos. But none the less i read all of the articles. when i read the first article, about Mr. Cooper. i though of my history class. History of the American people. when Adams was mentioned it made me think of the revelutionry times and back to a time when the U.S. was young! i thought of when i would sit in my history class last semester and listen to my professor ramble on about the creation of the United States. as i paged through and read the rest of the chapter and read the article Walking the Line, i began to think of my childhood. the way he described the mountains in wyoming. i began to think of where i used to live in canada. every summer we would go up to a lake in northern saskatchewan. in the cabins the water had to be heated and it was surrounded by miles and miles of forrest. as i looked at the picture on the begining of the article i began to picture lake tahoe and the sierra mountains.
as i finished the chapter and started to write this blog i realized that things that i read about made me think about other things, if that makes any sense???? hahaha.

  1. Wusup Shane,
    i felt the same way about the chapter. The one story that i thought was repetative in itself was the second story about Native Americans. All the stories showed different ways of using ethos, pathos, and logos but it was repetitive having to read over and over especially the analysis written after the story. I think you did a good job connecting to the story. Goo job

  2. Hi Shane :)
    I really enjoyed reading your um, blog. You gave very descriptive details when stating what each article reminded you of. I especially enjoyed reading about your connection to "Walking the Line," because I could easily picture what you were describing. Good job providing clear relations.
