Save Water

Summary: Water waste leads to a lack of clean drinking water.

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.

Quote “Thirsty?”

Homework 10/22

Summary: In "Lydia's Story" Jan Brideau tells how an older lady living in 9th Ward area of New Orleans experienced Hurricane Katrina first hand. Brideau then goes on to explain how even though Lydia had faced extreme hardship she kept her head up and still had hope for her future. (B, 131)

Paraphrase: So many people were left homeless after hurricane Katrina, and this is what made me realize the enormity of it. When traveling through Louisiana the amount of people left homeless really struck me when I saw loads of people in what had previously been a hotel, convention center, sports arena, school, church, and of course the VFW hall where Lydia stayed. Brideau was so glad to have met and helped victims of hurricane Katrina out. The one story that made the most impact was Lydia's because it represented something more than just a disaster. Lydia's story represented the light at the end of a tunnel.

-Jan Birdeau, "Lydia's Story, paragraph 13"

Important quote: Brideau stated, "Lydia's story stays with me the most, probably because it represents the essence of hope and determination in the face of terrible adversity"(Lydia's Story, paragraph 13). It shows the moral of the story and why Brideau found Lydia's story to be the most intriguing.

Textual analysis paper questions 1-7

1. The companies that publish the ads are, PETA, Freedom For Animals, and Mercy For Animals.
2. These adds are intended for human beings in general.
3. Because these organizations clearly do not want anyone to mistreat animals in any way. They use their ad techniques in a way that doesn't appeal to one group of people. 
4. The purpose of these is to make people think about what they do. The creators of these ads are wanting people to realize that maybe the way they treat animals is wrong.
5. These people are clearly animals lovers, and believe that animals should have the same rights that humans do. They are working towards their purpose by getting the word out through ads, and making people think twice about what their doing.
6. Its obvious when they say things like "If you wouldn't wear your dog.... please don't wear any fur." Its basically saying why wear any animal if you wouldn't wear your own.
7. "Stop the mistreatment, and cruelty of animals today, by using ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to us."

Rubin's Essay Questions 1-4

1. Melissa Rubin she states that "The way that Coca-Cola chooses to place the objects and depict men and women in this ad speaks volume about American society in the middle of the 20th century." Rubin then goes on to explain how in the ad it depicts how white working males dominated society at the time.
2. Rubin included important historical context when she explained how during the 1950's racial prejudice was still a big deal of the time, and this is why the ad featured white people only.
3. You might also try to answer the question, "Does this ad use ethos, pathos, or logos, to appeal to their intended audience?"
4. One ad that reflects the values of this era is the iPhone ads. This is an important value of this era because we are in the era of staying connected. These two ads compare in the sense that they both address two big parts of society at the time. In the Coca-Cola ad by stressing the importance of the army, and in iPhone ads by stressing how crucial it is to have a phone in this day and age.

Mad Men: Thinking about the Text

1. Heather's main insight about Mad Men is that its reflects today's society. In paragraph ten of the reading Heather explains how Mad Men is a perfect commodity of the American life, through its way of portraying the most stereotypical American looks, wants, and desires(H174).
2. Havrilesky establishes her authority by stating things like, "Mad Men captures this ultra-mediated, postmodern moment, underscoring the disconnect between the American dream and reality by distilling our deep-seated frustrations as a nation into painfully palpable vignettes.
3. She appeals to the readers emotions by stating things that are painfully true about todays society. In paragraph one of this reading she says "Slowly we come to view our own lives as inconsequential, grubby, even intolerable"(pg.170 paragraph 1). She then goes on to explain the American dream, and how it has become less attainable than ever.
4. I now understand that Mad Men is about life in the 1960's and how it reflects the American dream so perfectly. I'm going to start watching this show because i want to see how I can relate to it, and also to see what life was like in the 1960's.

You can benefit greatly from reading books. I grew up around books, but I never shared the same love for books like my mom, who I would see reading in almost every situation, whether it was in the car, before bed, or even when we would take trips to the beach. I would catch her reading almost everywhere. My mom would always try to get me excited about books by telling me how much I can learn from them, and how I can get so much more out of a book than a movie. But being a stubborn kid, I payed no attention. I just didn't ever get excited about books, which made it really hard for me to want to read them. It also made it really hard for me to understand what I was reading. I hated reading so much that I would have rather done math over reading any day, and math was and is one of my weakest points. I really didn't ever read a book unless it was assigned to me by my teacher, and even then I just skimmed over the pages, and winged it when it came to the chapter quizzes by asking someone next to me for the answers. That was until freshman year of high school when I received “ The Autobiography of Malcolm X” as a Christmas present from my mom.

It was Christmas morning. I arose bright and early. I had gotten little sleep because you know what it's like Christmas eve, all you can think about is opening presents in the morning. All I could imagine was the tree illuminating the room, with sparkling green, and red presents under it. I ran down stairs only to see that nobody was even awake yet. Then glancing at the clock on the stove I realized it was only 5:30am. I made my way back up to bed and attempted to go back to sleep, but that wasn’t happening. I stayed in bed for a good three hours until I could smell, and hear the bacon sizzling on the stove, and at that time I knew my parents were up. I made my way back down the stairs for a second time, gave my parents hugs, a “Merry Christmas”, and then quickly made my way to the tree and started opening presents. I opened all my presents, Xbox 360, snowboard, new basketball, all the things I wanted at the time. I got to the last present, a small rectangular present, with little weight. Clearly a book from mom that I'm going to thank her for, and then later shove under my bed with the many other books i've received over the years. Sure enough it was a book, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X.”

Being half black I’ve always been interested in my heritage. I had always heard stories about Malcolm X, and the influence he has had on African American history. So when I received this book for Christmas I was particularly interested. One gloomy day when absolutely nothing was going on, I decided to start reading the book. I started reading the book downstairs around dinnertime. My mom had food cooking. The aroma of chicken soup filled the air, and made my mouth salivate. The clinking of pots and pans also made it hard for me to focus. I found myself stuck on dinner, and not the book. I decided that I needed to find peace and quiet, so I made my way up to my room. I began to read. At first I wasn’t too excited, but kept reading anyway. By the time I was done with chapter one I had no idea what was going on, or who the heck “el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz”  was. Puzzled, I restarted the book again and found that in order to comprehend what I was reading it was crucial to slow down and go over every paragraph. This became a valuable lesson in future reading. Slowly I got more and more into the book, and found that I had completely forgotten about dinner. I went downstairs and ate, and quickly made my way back to my room to continue reading. I became so deeply absorbed by this book that I didn’t stop reading until about  1:00am on a school night. I brought the book with me every morning and read it on the bus ride to and from school. I finished this book in about five days. But most importantly I took away great amounts of knowledge from it. I loved how within just a couple of pages I could take away more new knowledge than I ever have by watching a two hour video.

After reading this book I not only gained a lot of information on an important piece of history, but an interest in books. I wanted to read more, and to learn more. I started actually reading the books we were assigned in class, Huckleberry Finn, To Kill A Mockingbird, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and much more. The difference was, this time I actually understood what we were reading because I actually had an interest in them. I was also getting good grades on the quizzes and book tests, which brought my reading, and comprehension confidence up even more.

My new found love for books is actually more of a love for knowledge. I heard this quote in a YouTube commercial one day, “the more you learn, the more you earn”, and I captured these words in my brain as something very important to hold on to. I try to read as much as possible in hopes that it will guide, and provide me with the proper incite I’ll need in the near, and not so near future. Some of this knowledge that I have obtained has even become handy in everyday life situations. For example, one of my friends didn’t know who Frederick Douglass was, and I went on to explain that he was a man who came from slavery and arose to be one of the leading African American figures of the 19th century. I knew this because I had read “The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.” Clearly one of the main reasons to read books, is to become a more knowledgeable person.

Books have become a great way for me to escape my everyday stress. Being a senior in high school isn’t easy. I have things due everyday, I have places to be on time, I have to pay for my gas, and I have to keep up in my studies. All of these things build up in my mind of the course of the day, and leave me usually pretty stressed out. Even though I’m doing all I can to alleviate the stress, by completing assignments early, always giving myself adequate time to be somewhere, and writing down assignments, and due dates, I still find myself thinking about the next day and how with a new day comes new responsibilities. But, one thing I have found that helps me out at the end of a long day is losing myself in a good book. For the moment I just forget it all, and can take time just to relax and focus on other important matters in my life.

I look back at it now and realize how little I would know if it wasn't for my love of books. And thanks to my mom, and the great book she gave me for Christmas I found that books can be interesting, you just have to find the right ones. Books, and the knowledge you can obtain from them have played a huge role in my life, and I don't know where I would be without them.

Think about your own use of analysis

	Small decision:	Large decision:
Week:	Eat big breakfast, to be full until I get home from school. I remembered that if I eat a big breakfast I won’t be distracted by hunger.	Work out every night all week, and it made me sore every day. I knew that it would be worth it because I’m trying to get stronger.
Month:	Started buying lunch from Safeway on Wednesdays, and now I have less money. I’m not buying lunch everyday so I’m actually saving money.	I decided to get my homework done earlier in the day.  I find myself less stressed out.
Year:	I wake up later in the morning. It makes me feel more rejuvenated, and refreshed.	I moved from Bellingham to Bainbridge Island. Now I go to two different schools, have a different house, and all kinds of different routines.

Look For analysis in everyday use:

               

            I looked at two different websites, Travelocity and Trip Advisor. I found Trip Advisor to be more useful because the layout of it is easier to use, and understand. Trip Advisor had a review right on the picture of the room rating it on a scale from 0-5, lots of pictures of the rooms, rentals, hotels, and it even tells you how many people have rated the room. It was nice to know how many people have rated the room because a room could have a five star rating, but only one person has rated it.  Also Trip Advisor had easily accessible reviews, and it’s nice to see what other real people have to say about where you could be potentially staying. I would change Travelocity by making the layout more simple and easy to understand. I would also change it by putting a link to the reviews right under the picture of wherever it is that the person might be staying. I would have basiclly made Travelocity simpler, but still containg enough detail.

Literary Narrative Lab

1. In Lydia’s story a good visual description was when Brideau said, “a small, slender black woman. She was in her sixties, with her short grey hair neatly tucked up inside a kerchief”(pg.128, paragraph 1).
2. In Nichol’s narrative she says “After months of preparation and anxiety, the pressure was on”(pg.4, paragraph 1).
3. Again in Lydia’s story, the author said “struck by the chemical odor of a cleaning solution so strong that it seemed toxic. The hall had no windows, only fluorescent lighting illuminated the space”(pg.128, paragraph  2).
4. List of possible essay topics:

• A significant text, or book
• Learning how to write

      5.  I'm going to write about learning how to type, and how it has helped me in many situation. My purpose for doing so is to fulfill an assignment.

      6. My audience is going to be my classmates, and my teacher. Most of my classmates most likely will have had similar experience, or be able to see where i'm coming from because they have probably been through elementary, middle, and high school, and been put in similar situations to mine.

     

      7. I want my readers to see me as a real person who has had similar experiences to them.

      

      8. My narrative will be printed off, and be seen by whomever views my blog. I do not plan on using photos or illustrations in my narrative because they won't help my topic.

      9. In my narrative i'm going to explain the computer lab.

     10. I heard keyboards typing, and my teacher sipping on her coffee.

 

     11. I could smell stinky kids, food in the cafeteria, and the bathroom that was also in the computer lab.

     12. I felt happy to know that I was learning useful strategies that i was going to be able to apply to all  kinds of situations. I was also a bit nervous because this was a big step in my life. And a lot of the other kids seemed to be able to type faster than i could.

     13. I couldn't taste anything because in the computer lab you weren't allowed food or drinks.

   

     14. The other people in my class varied. There were girls and boys of all different shapes, colors, and sizes. Some smelled bad and some smelled good. Some of the kids stayed focused and ready to learn, while others goofed off and just messed around. I remember the teacher and the Type To Learn computer program giving thorough directions.

    15. “Hey dude hows the typing going?” Im not really getting it so far. All i can think about is the pizza were about to devour for lunch. “same” What are you doing after school? “Probably going to the boys and girls club. You should come!” I don't think I can. “Why not?” Im grounded for a month because I always get in trouble in ms. T’s class.

   16. Everyone was typing on their computers. We all listened with headphones to the the Type To Learn computer programs instructions. The program would tell us how to place our hands on the keyboard, and which finger going to which key, and so on.

    17. The significance of learning how to type is that I have been able to apply my knowledge to many situations. I I wouldn't be doing what i am right now if i didn't know how to type and properly use a computer. Other things like texting, emailing, and sending facebook messages would not have been possible if i hadn't learned from this class.

Rhetorical Thinking, and Acting

Thinking rhetorically is a mindful process of considering all sides, context, audience, and identifying a purpose. Acting rhetorically is carefully making your way through any given situation by portraying yourself in a certain way. In thinking rhetorically we must start by listening. Weather its a text book, a peer, a teacher, or a video. We need to try and understand where the person, or piece of writing is coming from, and what aspects in their life may have influenced them to think or feel such a way about a topic. Then we must determine how we feel and why we may feel that way. Then in order to formulate a solid opinion, or be able to back up our opinion we must research the topic or whatever it may be and get a better understanding on it. In acting rhetorically we must also apply all of the aspects of rhetorical thinking, but instead of just figuring something out we might actually act upon ideas. In acting rhetorically we must consider who is watching us, and what steps we might take to portray our self's in the way we want to be. We must also figure out how to make people want to be engaged in how we are acting upon something.

Rhetorical Situations-Narratives

• Told stories to family about school
• Listening to music on Pandora
• Meeting new people at school and hearing their stories
• Watching interviews on YouTube with artists

While watching some of the videos on itgetsbetter.org I found the videos more appealing than the narratives because a visual always helps me have a better understanding on what they're going through. Also I just like to see the people that explain their story because I get to see their seriousness by their facial expressions.

Differences/ similarities:

Many differences were found in the first question where some of us thought people find strength between themselves, some viewed that you don’t understand the severity of a situation until you experience it first hand, and then some thought that you have to listen and learn from those around you no matter who it is. Also differences were found in the second question whether it was first or third person view. Similarities were found in the third question where we all talked roughly about the same diction used to describe the scene. And last of all very differently wrote was the question about who the target audience was and the tone. One view was that it was a human interest piece of that it was intended for fellow doctors to read upon and share. Another view was that it was intended as a hopeful piece to get people involved in the hurricane efforts.

Connections:

With Lydia’s story it really emphasizes the point in chapter two of audience and tone. Specifically Brideau writes to a specific audience and uses specific diction to persuade the audience to see the horrors Lydia went through but the hope she held to the end.

Think about discussion:

Many narratives are found in songs and work stories we have decided.

Think Beyond Words:

It helped us watching the videos because you can first hand see the emotion being portrayed in the personas story. Not saying that it could not be seen in the writings but it was just easier for us to see through a video.

Compare Narratives:

Different narratives we are interested are songs like the hills from the weekend. Also news stories we have heard lately like the most recent shooting in Oregon. All of the stories we have heard are all important whether it may seem relevant or not.
