The reading was interesting; it showed very different types of writing from social equalities to a concerned citizen living in the mountains who is worried about social disintegration. Each article had their own type of message and way it was delivered. For example the thing that captured my attention in walking the line was the picture of the Tentons and the Snake River. Firstly it gave me the impression of this article talking about humans and their relationship with nature (a long shot I know…I am an optimist and damn proud of it!). However I was surprised that he was more concerned about social collapse while at the same time he was buying ammunition and chainsaw blades…doesn’t that just promote the idea of social collapse? Hmmm….maybe he is preparing for the imminent zombie invasion as depicted in Resident Evil or as depicted in 'Zombie Animals'.
I really liked the article about the Kupuna in Hawaii and the Department of Education. The reason I liked it was due to the fact that I know someone who is considered a Kupuna. Even though I am not Hawaiian I was raised by her, her husband and their family and have been apart of their Hawaiian traditions and parties. I am considered by them Hawaiian, even though I am Mexican. By stating it was about Kupuna’s in Hawaii I was urged to read this (Ethos). How they wanted to remove the kupuna program despite the fact Hawaii is a very family orientated island made my blood boil (Pathos). Finally how the writer explained logically his stance and allowing me to follow his every step was interesting (Logos).

ReplyDeleteAloha Tim,
ReplyDeleteSo i thought you did an awesome job on this blog. I really enjoyed reading the second paragraph. You not only picked the story i was most interested in, but you made it so i was even more drawn in. You connected with the story and i felt like i connected with you by the way you wrote. I felt like I learned a new part about you by just this little paragraph. I also liked when you gave your opinion and thoughts you put ethos,logos, and pathos in parathesis. Overall i loved it. I cant wait to learn more. I wish you would have elaberated more because i want to learn more haha. peace. love.Letisha boo.
Excellent job with your responsea. On the article about the Kupuna's, it was cool that you were able to relate to it. It is better to read an article that you can relate to, I think so and that is where the ethos come to play. Each article did have its own message and had something to touch upon.
