Persuasive Picture!
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/zafu/Skinny%20Models/skinny_models.jpg
* This picture caught my attention and i think in society it influeces a lot of woman out there. This picture is off a young model posing her stylish bikini, but what is so different about this picture is the fact that she's to skinny. When you really look at it, there is nothing wrong about it but when you get into it you can see the how it can actually affect people. Now in days in society people think that they should look a certain way, this can actually cause mental problems. This is how all eating disorders begin. Girls out there think they are too fat to look like this model so instead of trying to loose weight the right way, they do it all wrong. I think that the attention of this picture is not to try to persuade the person to loose weight but instead just buying the bikini, but now in days people don't see it like that. They feel what they are trying to say is that society should look like that, or else it won't look good in you.

Matthew Horn In The News Article!
1)This topic is a very bi versa subject because there is so much you can do, but so little to be done. I think that the economy is stuck in the middle, and it's really hard to say what to do now. I think that the government should start first off by ending the war. Obviously the war has been one of our most expensive payments, and honestly i think we are done there so that automatically will be one less expense. Second the United States needs to create more jobs for their citizens. Enough on shipping things from other countries, and having things made. We have a country of our own to worry about. I think if there would be less expenses the economy might go back to normal.
2)I don't think taxes should increase because theres millions of citizens out there who are struggling as it is, and with a tax that high it can affect their home. I don't think we should suffer, and pay someone else mistake. I do feel that as an american citizen we can all do something to help get through this phase.
3)Honestly, i cant really say what i would do because is such a controversy matter. In my opinion i would start off trying to put everything together or a plan and then try to do it. I actually feel a bit bad for the next president cause he has so much pressure going on for him. Hopefully the economy would get better!

"Politics and the English Language"
1)In this essay, Orwell suggests that the English language is on the decline because the people who use English are misusing the language. What sort of things does he mention as proof that the English language is in trouble?
A)What Orwell is trying to tell us is that people are not writing how they use to write. What takes over the American language are the use of slangs, people are very stale when they compare an imagery, and pretty much how the person is expressing themselves. Now in days people are writing the way they feel is write. It's really just turning all around, and becoming their own way.
2)Orwell wrote this essay almost 60 years ago. Do you think the English language is in a better or worse condition than when Orwell wrote his essay? Can you think of modern examples of how people misuse language?
A)In my opinion i think the English Language is at its worst. Now in days you hear of people creating their own words, slangs are at its peak, and specially the writing is messy. People are using slangs or the way they talk as proper English and it shouldn't be like that cause is going against the real meaning of english.
Ex- Lol!-awkard-the use of wrong words-Like etc. People use these words to communicate online that they are bringing it to their daily life.
2)What do you think of Orwell’s list of rules to improve your writing?
Orwell wrote the following in the provided excerpt:
Probably it is better to put off using words as long as possible and get one's meaning as clear as one can through pictures and sensations. Afterward one can choose -- not simply accept -- the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch round and decide what impressions one's words are likely to make on another person.
A) What he means is that we should stop using certain words and to look more into it, to comprehend it better. After we have a sense of it we got to actually studied it and analyze it and thats when it would be better to use it. This means that we shouldn't use words that we don't even know what they mean because its only going to hurt us at the end. We should be aware of the word and once we know how to use it properly, that when we should use it.
3)What do you think he means when he suggests that one should focus on “pictures and sensations” before one sits down to put words on the page? Have you ever done this? Does it help you write better?
A)Pictures are in some way better because they help you understand it better. They help you have a common sense of it. Yes, i have done this especially while I'm reading. Whenever Im lost somewhere and there are pictures or sensations i tend to comprehend it because there is a better knowledge to it. By helping me write better, hmm i dont know because pictures are just pictures, do they help me describe more and express more, definately because now it's telling you details, and it makes it better to included it in your writings!

In The News " Religious Art"
In my opinion i think people are against Religion because of their own insecurities. Articles like this pisses me off because people are so stubborn and selfish. I don't understand why they would make it a big issue when its only art. These monuments, paintings, and structures are not made to make others feel bad, they are made to be acknowledge and inspiring. I don't think those are ways to persuade you to change your religion or anything. And what really pisses me off that people only make a big deal when somehow catholicism is involve. I don't understand why there is so much negativity and even hatred. I think everyone should be allow to beleive in anything as long as you don't do anything physically. Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts and thats all it matter. People should stop worrying about everyone else and worry about themselves. I think in this article the government shouldn't pay any money for religious stuff because those things are not meant to be a burden but instead to be acknowledge. Nothing in religion shouldn't be a fee. People should simply just let it be!

Essay Project Draft #2 "VOTE OR DIE"
Sotomayor I
A leader defined in a dictionary is an official chosen to control over a meeting or
assembly. In this case the leader of our country is somebody who has taken the roll to
lead our country for the best. Every other four years since the United States came
together as a nation, people have chosen a President to direct the country. Choosing a
president isn’t as easy as it sounds, it’s actually a very long process which involves
campaigning, and most of all “Voting”. There is a phrase commonly used now, “Vote or
Die”, which symbolizes the reasons to vote or to remain quiet. People see it more as a
belief, the content of it shouldn’t be taken literal because of the wording there is, but it
should be something too look into it.
A myth defined in a dictionary is a popular belief that has grown up around
something or someone. We are exposed every day on how important it is to pick the right
leader, it has been shown how much power a President has over everything, in which it
can be good or bad depending on your views. As Americans we have a choice to change
the paths of our way of living, and by doing this it can happen from Voting. There is a
belief out there that involves Voting or Drying. These words are very strong, but it shows
how much power both of them holds.
Vote or Die, Vote or Die! You hear it, you see it, and you feel it. Do we really
know what these words are trying to say? In my opinion, and in facts through some
research that I been doing, these two words define change. Voting is a popular way of
choosing your preference, and Dying is meant in other words to remain quiet. By voting
you can change history, you can pick the one you think is right, and holds the same views
as you. There is so much you can do with one vote, believe it or not that one vote can be
Sotomayor II
the one to make the change everyone seems to want.
Not everyone is a big fan of Voting, people prefer to just letting it be. This is
where the word “Die” becomes literal. It means to lose force, strength, or active qualities.
By not casting your vote, a lot can happen, but nothing physical. In other words it means
that by you remaining quiet, you couldn’t make a change which leads to you loosing. A
lot of times people complain about our President, but whose fault was that if we didn’t
make the approach to make a change. Everything you believe, your views and values will
die out if you don’t make a vote. This essay is not meant to force anybody to Vote, this
essay was meant to understand the real meaning of Voting, and Dying.
Any way there is, people try to promote others to cast votes. Some hold their
beliefs that by Voting, things will get pleasant, and go the right way. We are tending to
forget also that Voting is a competition. It sometimes doesn’t go our way. People get too
caught up with Voting, that the word Dying can also happen. It is simply a race to the
White House what these leaders are trying to compete for. A lot of times candidates
offers the community changes, but it depends on the person what kind of changes they
are really looking for. This topic is very bi versa because it all depends on people’s
values and standards.
There is no right and wrong answer to the real meaning of “Voting and Dying”. It
can simply be seen as a myth, because everyone is brought up to believe on how they see
things. In some cases it can be wrong, but by the way you are brought up it can be right.
There is no pressure on Voting, but there is pressure of changes. The only way there can
be changes is if we put action into our hands. Remaining quiet, been the one’s vulnerable
Sotomayor III
will not take us anywhere. The only thing will get out of it is us loosing.
Next time you see the phrase “VOTE OR DIE”, look at it as if in having your way
or the highway. The only way there can actually be a change is if you make the attempt
of voting. There can always be that possibility that things can go right and change for
the best, but if we don’t try we will never know. As a person I like people to hear me, and
acknowledge my presence, been the one defeated is not on my list, everything I
personally belief would die out if I don’t make that one change. In other words, if you
want something you got to fight for it and the only actions an American can take is by
voting.
Making a change can be rewarding at the end, it’s up to the person’s belief on
how you want the future to be. There is nobody forcing you to take actions, there is
nobody telling you what to do. The belief to “Vote and Die”, signifies what you have
been brought up to believe which is to never back down of anything. Like I said before,
these two words are very strong, but have a lot of meaning into it. If you stand up to what
you believe in, things can happen your way. The myth of Voting and Dying shouldn’t be
something to be scare off, it should rather be something you are looking to change for the
best.

Why Everyone should Vote or die!<-Myth Project
1)Choose a part of your project and perform a tagmemic analysis about it—attempting to inquire into it from three perspectives: as a particle (define and describe its qualities right now), as a wave (look at how it has changed and will change over time), and as a field (how it’s connected to larger cultural changes). For example, the tagmemic analysis we did in class about “a college degree” would have been a good fit for an essay about the myth that “everyone should go to college.” Post the results of your inquiry to your blog.
A)By voting for a president in this case would mean that you would be voting for your rights, dying is not literally dying but is having your beliefs and rights get taken away.
-I think everyone should vote because your voting on what you beleif is right for this country, the only way is going to change is if you see a difference, and that's if we all vote, and yes it will change over time because the person who will win is the person who thinks like you, and will act the way you would want him too.
-I think everyone should go vote because that's the only way were going to see changes, we are all different from each other in every way, but a lot of similarities we all have is the way we think this country should run along.
2)Write a dialogue between yourself and a fictional person who believes in the myth you are inquiring into. Have the speakers explore each other’s beliefs about this myth. Post the dialogue to your blog.
Luis-I hate how things are going in this country, I don't know what to do
Shanayne-I know men, there's really nothing we can do except to vote.
Luis-Vote? what happen if we don't vote.?
Shanayne-Yes vote, or else were all going to die.
Luis-Die? no what are you talking about.
Shanayne- Not literally dying, but your beleifs and rights are not going to be the same. The only way we can make a difference is if we all vote, and pick a leader with the same values, and beleifs as us. Nobody is really going to die physically but your beleifs would die.
Luis- I still don't get it. So your saying if i don't vote somebody is going to kill me.
Shanayne-Stop been stubborn. That's not what I'm saying. By voting your picking your preference, your picking the leader that would best suit this country. Your picking a guy who stands up on what he beleifs, and if you beleif in him then he is the right guy for you. And by dying is meant in other words loosing. Your going to be very disappointed when you feel like you couldn't make a change.
Luis-Oh i get it now, By voting Im picking somebody who will stand up on what i beleif but as a society, and dying means that if i don't vote Im not going have somebody to hold those beleifs.?
Shanayne-Correct.!
3)Interview one or more people about this myth. For example, I could easily go out and ask people about whether they believe everyone should go to college and why they believe as they do. Post transcripts (the interviews word for word) or a summary of your findings to your blog.
A) I interview a couple of my friends who i sit in lunch with and they all agree with me that everyone should vote because that's the only way we can make a difference in this election. If we don't vote were not going to make a change at all, and this country is based on changes. My friends beleive that everyone should have a least a little saying and by voting is the way to go. They laugh when i say "Or die" because last election famous people like Paris Hilton, P. Diddy made shirts saying that, but it's true in a way a little part of us would die if don't pick the right guy to lead this country.
4)Find a piece of published writing related to your project (in a magazine, newspaper, or blog, for instance). Analyze the author’s position toward the myth and compare/contrast it with your own position.
A)http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2008/03/27/Opinion/Collin.Beck.Make.An.Informed.Vote.Or.Die-3286111.shtm
This person who wrote this article beleives that everyone should vote, but it shouldnt be about peer pressure. You see it everywhere people saying "Vote or die", bumper stickes, posters. It shouldn't be a popularity contest and voting cause everyone else is doing, you should do it cause you feel like doing it.
In a way i got to agree with the author of this article because it feels like these campaigns elections are becoming more of a popularity contest rather than an adult situation. People should vote if they really want too, not because couple of famous stars asked you too.
One thing i don't agree with him is the important of voting. Yea we might not vote now, and maybe we do get the wrong guy in the white house, but whose fault is going to be when that happens. There shouldn't be any pointing fingers at all because it was those who voted, those who care to put him in there. Yes, we might be one vote, but that one vote can be the one who changes things for everyone. Nobody really sees it like that, but voting is very crucial when our president doesn't turn out the person we all taught he was, and the good guy lost.
A)By voting for a president in this case would mean that you would be voting for your rights, dying is not literally dying but is having your beliefs and rights get taken away.

Men and Their Hidding Feelings Pg. 242
1)Men can't be best friend with each other, they are more of buddies and pals, something to get along with, rather than opening up to the person, in a way the writer was right about this not been a real friendship because the definition of a best friend is somebody who you can be yourself around and many times men give enough of themselves, and hold the rest back.
2)Men keep things to themselves more rather than women. Woman are social and love to talk about themselves, man keep things to themselves, more privately. They only let you know enough about them. He classifies men to be more fearful of showing their true colors, and he classifies women to be more open about themselves. I agree with it because as a guy, you don't want to cry in front of your friends, or do something that wouldn't be manly because people will judge you, and they would look at you wrong.
3)He made it a good point in paragraph five,because i think a lot of men don't admit their sexual lives, if it's bad they are too embarass to admit it, and it would look un manly. We have a reputation too look better, sound better and perform better in this society and if we let that go, we have nothing to stand on.

He classifies men to be more fearful of showing their true colors, and he classifies women to be more open about themselves. I agree with it because as a guy, you don't want to cry in front of your friends, or do something that wouldn't be manly because people will judge you, and they would look at you wrong.
3)He made it a good point in paragraph five,because i think a lot of men don't admit their sexual lives, if it's bad they are too embarass to admit it, and it would look un manly. We have a reputation too look better, sound better and perform better in this society and if we let that go, we have nothing to stand on.

Why I want a: WIFE
1)This essay was written in 1971. What types of duties does Syfers describe as being performed by wives? To what degree do you believe these are still done primarily by women? Have these or other things about the husband/wife relationship changed in the last 37 years?
A)The type of duties that Syfers is looking in a wife is the type of duties a maid would do, but he has to pay. He thinks that by having a wife is to have everything cater to him. He expects his wife to clean, wash, look out for the kids, and in top of all love the sex with him.
-As times have change an woman are becoming more dependable, there are still housewives out there who clean up after dinner, who don't work just to keep an eye on the kids, who gives her free time to devote herself to the husband, as funny as this sounds after 35 years some little things haven't changed.
-37 years later the men is still in charge of the house, but also the women plays a major role. Now you see some woman working hard all day to bring food to the table, now is more like a team, there is no I in team just because how things have change sometimes the men can't be the only one in charge of everything. Bills are getting expensive, everything seems to go up in price that a men alone can't do it, that is where the women comes in place now in days.
2)How would you describe Syfers’ writing style? Does she do things you would typically avoid in your own writing
A)His writing style is all about himself, and opinions. There is no proven fact, it makes him sound arrogant and very selfish.
-She mentions the word "wife" a lot. I know she is talking about wives, but she could have just put it in a way to bring it all together rather than repeating itself.
3)Syfers was reacting to a social structure that she felt at the time was unfair. What types of injustice or unfairness do you see in the world nowadays that you think should be addressed? Syfers implies that men benefit from the servile position of women in the family. Who benefits from the injustices you see active in the world today?
A)Some types of injustice happening now in days is the way the woman are put out to be. You still see major roles as male figures, nobody can't really see a female in charge. It kinds of intimidates and embarass people. As a men I have a lot to say about this because been raised by a single mother she has proven to me that she can be as strong as a men itself, maybe even a bit stronger, she has over come a lot of obstacles that no men would, but she has done it so I see things different.
-Men expect women to be servants, or something like that, you never really see men been butlers or anything like that because the stereo type is a women always serving our needs, man do benefit from the injustices because society thinks he can handle more pressure. In a way men can but we shouldn't be underestimating a woman power also. I beleive that in a way we are equal and yea man can do a bit more stuff than woman but mentality wise and sometimes physically wise woman are around there.

* Inventing The University *
1)· What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must “invent the university” when they write in college?
A)He meant that the students must bring something to their writing to be unique from others. By saying "Inventing the University" he is saying that the student will learn how to walk the walk in other words that the university is going to teach him how express himself in writing that at the end the student will be teaching the university something.
2)· What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become “insiders” within academic discourse?
A) Insiders means to write what you feel in and out, to overlook past the writing and put some real emotions to it, the only way it can unique and original is if you write with feelings in it.
3)· Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae’s opinion of these examples.
A) Essay one show uniqueness and creativity but it was poor written. He didn't use to many details, he only prove on how he was unique but it didn't show any feelings towards it. Essay two was well written, it showed how the little girl really felt about her music and how been creative in it wasn't creative at all. She showed a lot by writing this essay, Bartholomae's opininos are just like mine, because for it to be a very well written essay you need to put all into it, not only the situation.
