Week 2 of blogging, and I’ve been thinking about it all week long. Last night when I was watching my favorite show, 911, with my parents, I even noticed rhetoric. It was a Nissan commercial. In this commercial, they were advertising their crash preventing features. By doing this, every person, except the driver and their family, were on their phones. This was their way to show that their newest Rogue was “… protection in a world of distraction”. This commercial spoke to me emotionally because I hate how dependent on technology our world has become.
IN CLASS…
In class this week, we discussed how to make a proper resume and how to present them in a professional way. A cover letter, job specific traits, and past job experience are all great was to make an impression on a possible future employer. We also began reading Hamilton. As a class, we listened and analyzed Act 1. We were introduced to various characters , including Aaron Burr, the Schuyler Sisters, and Alexander Hamilton himself.
Practice Makes Perfect…
Earlier this week, I found out my friend was trying to find a home for this adorable dachshund. Naturally, I tried my best to convince her to bring her home with me. I used my knowledge of logos, ethos, and pathos to try to persuade her.
It went something like this:
Hey mom! My friend is trying to find a home for a adorable little dachshund. She was found wondering all alone on the streets. They tried to find the owner, but there was no luck. We have plenty of room for another dog, and Sugar could use a friend! If we don’t take her end, they might have to bring her into the shelter. All they are looking for is somebody to love her.
Of course, this was a failed attempt, but I was very close to convincing her.
