In response to Geoffrey Shepherd's article “It’s clear the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Shepard tries to pull us into his claim by using pathos, logos, and ethos. He uses estimates of 500,000 Japanese soldiers died from the atomic bomb. Then Geoffrey begins to state that we had an alternative spot to drop the bombs, the alternate spot we could’ve dropped the bomb would have been Tokyo Bay. It was idle and estimated that less lives would’ve been taken and would showed more of a threat to the Japanese leaders.

Over the course of this semester I learned several skills and techniques this semester to improve my writing skills for the future. This class has helped me learn many skills that I did not know before I first walked in here. I personally feel that I have made an improvement in the acknowledgment I had in writing.

The 13th amendment of 1865 made people consider the use of slavery as a legal form of punishment for criminals. The amendment raises concerns over if African Americans were ever actually free in the United States. Although it states that the institution of slavery is illegal, it also states that slave labor is legal if in the form of punishment for incarcerated criminals. In 13th, Ava DuVernay employs the use of ethos, logos, and pathos through a variety of ways. Through the use of these techniques, Ava DuVernay connects them with vivid imagery to really drive her point that the 13th amendment did not necessarily end slavery, it just added a loophole that enslavers were able to use.

Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.

The North and South both have alternate viewpoints and react differently when informed about the Emancipation proclamation. To begin, the North had a very strong desire to end slavery in the United States as a whole. Once acknowledged of the Emancipation Proclamation many believed Lincoln spoke the words that beset represented their beliefs. Lincoln states, "… I do order and declare that all persons help as slaves within said designated state, as parts of state are, and henceforth shall be free. Many slaves were abused in ways that could not be imagined and have done countless hours of hard labor and received no benefits whatsoever. Thinking of this Lincoln began to speak in the favor of slaves saying that he will not allow slavery to continue

The United States, as many believe, is the land of opportunity, however, when looking at individual states, towns, and cities, this popular slogan may seem false to some.

If my life was to be a music video, it would be Shakira’s “La La La”. The most important line of the song for me is when she sings, “Is it true that you want it? Then act like you mean it”. Whenever I hear this song I get goosebumps and literally feel the deepest meaning of this sentence. This lyric gets into my bloodstream. I feel this song represents passion, courage, hard work, sincerity, honesty, dedication, and the indomitable spirit of a person. With the inspiring music, you would see the image of a man who dares to walk an unexplored path. The man cuts his way through the vines and underbrush that block his way. The branches cut and scrape him, blood mixing with sweat, as he pushes through the dense forest. You would see a man emerge
