My least favorite character so far is Jimmy Blevins. He has caused so many problems for Grady and Rawlins and doesn't really do anything for them. His worst moment is when he tries to get his horse back from the barn and ends up causing the Mexicans to chase them.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448710 Agenda Topic 2 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448711 Explain 1 use of Logos by author with a quote

McCarthy uses logos when Rawlins says “My old daddy always said that the purpose of breakin a horse was to ride it and if you got one to break you just as well to saddle up and climb aboard and get on with it.” (McCarthy 103).  This is logos because it does appeal to the logic of the reader because it shows how if John Grady was going to the trouble of breaking horses he should be able to ride them.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448711 Agenda Topic 3 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448712  Explain 1 use of Pathos by the Author with a quote 


One Example of Pathos is when John Grady is trying to convince Rawlins to go back and help Blevins who has caused them trouble. “Meanin just leave him? Yessir. What if it was you? It aint me. What if it was?” (McCarthy 79) This is pathos because John Grady asks Rawlins how he would feel if he was left behind.

2. I saw the realization for Grady when he realized what the West truly was. 
3.We were shocked when we read that Rawlins and Grady were arrested by Mexican soldiers.

Discussion Highlights/Plot Highlights

John Grady’s journey is going to become a harsh reality of adulthood. I make this prediction because he is going out in the world without his family and he has to learn responsibility.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448718 Agenda Topic 2 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448719 Insert a Gif or series of emojis that best sum up your feelings on the group, book, the sweet new workshop rules, and/or the 1st quarter of your book, and of course, explain



]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448719 Agenda Topic 3 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448720 Identify 1 argument the author is making. How is he/she making it? What kind of argument is it. What kind of appeal is he/she using? How effective is it?


Cormac McCarthy is making the argument of change because of John Grady’s journey to Mexico. He makes it by showing the confrontations with the realities of the world, that is not of Grady’s control. The appeal is to effect the reader with a sense of realism, and the appeal is effective because it shows you the realities of the cruel world.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448720 Meeting Reflection 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448721 1. George and I discussed how John Grady has a growing disillusionment in his life in Texas.
2. We both saw that John Grady has a bad relationship with his parents.
3. We also both talked about how John Grady’s adventure is a quest for identity.

My favorite character is John Grady Cole because he has some very good qualities. One quality that he has is that he is a caring person. He lets Blevins join him and Rawlins and takes care of him even after he gets lost in the storm. ]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448723 Agenda Topic 2 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448724 least favorite character

My least favorite character is Perez who is a wealthy and influential prisoner who tried to bribe John Grady and later has him attacked.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448724 Agenda Topic 3 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448725 biggest disappointment 

The biggest disappointment was the execution of Blevins without a proper trial because it represents a society with no justice, and how he was killed in vain.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448725 Meeting Reflection 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448726 1. We couldn’t believe the justice system and how they were being accused of crimes they didn’t commit.
2. I realized that the decisions of Grady and Rawlins was the reason that Blevins died.
3. I was surprised to read that Grady survived the assassin.

My prediction was wrong because the story became more about John Grady’s conflict of pursuing his love despite risks and his relationship with Rawlins as he journeys south into Mexico.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448728 Agenda Topic 2 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448729 Which book did you like better

I enjoyed All The Pretty Horses over Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The reason I enjoyed All The Pretty Horses more because I found the Wild West theme to be more interesting and easier to follow. Catch-22 is well written but was boring at times and was not very funny. There were exciting moments but overall I found All The Pretty Horses to be more interesting.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448729 Agenda Topic 3 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448731 Favorite Quote (That demonstrates theme) 

My favorite quote from the book that also demonstrates the theme is “Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting”. This is said by Maria to John Grady and I think it means that our wishes our usually prevented from coming true by things that happen in the world. This is relevant to John Grady because he wishes that he could be with Alessandra but her family (example of the world) gets in the way.]]> 2024-02-28 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448731 Meeting Reflection 25039mb https://padlet.com/25039mb/rbyz1xn4x3mdjehm/wish/2898448732 1. George and I were shocked that Alejandra must never see Grady again.
2. I couldn’t believe how tragic Alfonsa’s story was.
3.George and I knew that even with all the tragedy in Grady’s life that he would still have all his hopes and dreams.
