Anyone who loves their mother can relate to this poem, and it effectively makes the reader understand exactly where Collins is coming from in wanting to show his mother how much he loves her.]]> 2016-12-11 03:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972673 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972806 The visual rhetoric project explained how the visual layout of a picture could affect the way a person views it. Key factors to this could be layout, color, and people in the image. ]]> 2016-12-11 03:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972806 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972842 Jackson does a good job keeping the audience in suspense. The reader does not know exactly what the lottery is until the very last section of the story. When the reader finally does find out, there is a major appeal to pathos as the woman is attacked, although she did nothing wrong. This gruesome image sticks with the readers. I first read this story in high school, and it was one of the only stories I was truly speechless after reading.]]> 2016-12-11 03:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972842 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972843 Like "Reunion", this poem deals with a family struggling because of the father's alcohol problem. At first glance, it seems nothing is wrong, and the dad is simply having a dance with his child. However, the words used imply the father is beating his son, and the kid can do nothing about it. We sympathize with the boy because he loves his father, yet is still aggressively beaten by him.]]> 2016-12-11 03:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972843 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972844 Charlie clearly admires his father, and has missed him. When he finally sees him and embraces him, he smells a thick scent of whiskey. This implies his father could be an alcoholic. The reader sympathizes with Charlie because he wanted a good family relationship with his father, but it was torn apart by alcohol. ]]> 2016-12-11 03:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972844 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972847 This one is different in that it is a true story, and thus, it is more intense for the reader to know it actually happened. The imagery of the inside of Dahmer's "lair" is enough to make anyone scared and uncomfortable, and this story uses it to the extreme. ]]> 2016-12-11 03:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972847 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972848 Much like, "Story of an Hour", during this time period it was not accepted that a woman could live on her own. Hemingway makes this clear by establishing The American as dominant. The girl is implied to be pregnant and he want her to have an "operation" (abortion) She wants to escape from him. The reader is not quite sure how to feel. Both characters are portrayed effectively, that the reader is not sure if they want the girl to go off on here own, and likely not succeed, or to stay with the American and not enjoy her life. ]]> 2016-12-11 03:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972848 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972850 One message Oates puts focus on in this story is to act your age and not more mature. Connie clearly feels she is more grown up than she actually is, and it ends up costing her. The reader can immediately pick up that talking to Arthur is not a wise choice, but Connie goes through with it. It is clear he is obsessed with her. It can be concluded that he has also been stalking her, which is the only conclusion the reader can reach about how he knew so much about her family.]]> 2016-12-11 04:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972850 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972852 This story's overall message is that if someone is not given the proper attention and help they need, they can start to go mentally crazy. John, a doctor, thinks his wives best cure would be to rest and not to write. This proves greatly ineffective as the wall paper in her room makes her go crazy. The reader sympathizes with her because they see this cure is ineffective and want John to take action. Faulkner does an effective job because while John may not be a bad person, he is portrayed as the reason his wife develops mental problems. ]]> 2016-12-11 04:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972852 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972854 Faulkner does an effective job portraying Emily as crazy. He gives many examples of this, from her not admitting her father was dead, to not paying taxes for years and using her fathers name as her excuse, to finally finding Homer's dead body in her bed. At first, the reader feels bad, then confused, and then no sympathy at all, as this all adds up to her eventual death. ]]> 2016-12-11 04:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972854 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972857 This story sends a powerful message that if you do not break free of the norm to do what you love, you will never be happy. Baldwin portrays this very well by having Sonny being depressed with his life except for his music, while his brother is trying to get him to stick to the status quo. This could be a metaphor whose life is in a rut, and they just want to break free and do their own thing.]]> 2016-12-11 04:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972857 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972859 During this time period, it was generally accepted that all women needed a husband, and could not get by without one. Upon hearing of her husbands passing Louise feels she has beat the "system" and will be able to live on her own. Chopin makes the audience feel good that she will be able to rise above the stereotype that all women need a husband. She gets so excited that when she finds out her husband is still alive, she is so devastated that she dies of heart disease. This sends the reader a message to not get too excited too quickly. ]]> 2016-12-11 04:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/142972859 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143012537 The old man is initially portrayed as caring toward Alan and his partner. He even acts as if he doesn't care about making a profit, he just wants Alan to have a love potion. Looking past the surface, the reader can see he is only giving him this potion for so cheap, so that he will keep returning to eventually buy more expensive potions. This makes the reader sympathizes with Alan because they see he is being taken advantage of, and he doesn't even know it yet.]]> 2016-12-11 19:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143012537 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143026426 What I learned about revision in this class is that there needs to be a reason for the revisions. When correcting an essay, you can not just change a simple mistake. You have to have an actual reason for the revision. This point was driven home by having to write a one page reflection on revisions that were made. ]]> 2016-12-11 23:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143026426 jscha015 https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143026590 In English 101, just some of things I am taking away include:
The ability to craft an argument using ethos, pathos and logos.
Write effective essays.
Think about the audience before starting to write.
Successfully research a topic to effectively use it in an argument]]> 2016-12-11 23:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jscha015/jjkztfo5bh0n/wish/143026590
