Assignment #12

What are some of the reasons why the author suggests his proposal?

- He proposes his idea of selling poor-nourished children to the upper-class individuals in Ireland to stop the overpopulation, poverty, and unemployment. They mainly imply that the immense population of children in the streets with her mother’s or father’s is a concern for their own parents and it gives the country a bad looking, for it is a great place. The author points out that whoever is willing enough to provide female beggars and their children a way to get out the streets should be glorified, for they will help their country making them a true patriot. The author has a passion to assist his own country and parents from being an irrelevant individual. The author believes that children creates a burden to their parents for constantly wanting attention and being on her backs daily. The author proposes options to not be a part of the human cannibalism. The options are be able to be a thieve for work, fight for the King James II in Spain, or to sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

Does the author have a sense of moral when suggesting his proposal to the public?

- I believe that the author doesn’t want to incorporate the righteousness of this proposal, instead he just mentions the wrongfulness in his proposal scheme. Mid/last part of the proposal he expresses that no other alternatives should be form from other individuals regarding his proposal, because it is considered to be a good proposal to solve everyone’s problems. Any naysayer that dislikes the authors proposal should provide a better-to-perfect alternative to the primary problems of Ireland. I know for a fact that this a satire story, which is a humor that addresses the concerns of a place. In reality cannibalism is a wrongful thing to do, because it is considered as a terrible sin. The authors immense years of planning towards his proposal, he is denying any outside negative comments towards his proposal. I truly believe that his proposal isn’t as perfect as the author makes it seem. I believe that there is going to be public concern as the proposal is implied in Ireland. The author makes himself seem as a heartless individual creating this type of problem-solution scheme, which the family of beggars are willing to sell their children to be eaten and to be happy with it. In reality a mother or father would not allow this to happen to their dearest children. I feel that this proposal is not serious, because Catholics that are mention does not accept this for this is sinful. Usually Catholics are against this human cannibalism practices. A world problem shouldn’t be solved by harming a human being in any shape or form.

Assignment #11

How does Guilliver alter throughout the story? Does Guilliver acquire understanding of the other places in his journey?

- I truly believe that Guilliver does change from this inelegant feeling individual to a calmer adventurous person, because he gets various perspectives of people, events, and things that influence him to be more of a open minded person. I believe that Guilliver prefers a place of corruption-free and a non-complex environment. Out of the exploits he prefers the place of the Houyhnhnms, because they are a species of intelligent horses. He actually loses interest in the human race even though he is a part of it. Every journey he goes his mind is influence by their magnificent worlds that he sees.

In what ways does Guilliver like and dislike the world of Lilliputian?

- I believe that he sees the world as strange because the people are extremely small and the Lilliputians see him as a giant that will destroy them. He saw that the Lilliputians are well-educated, but not as educated as he is, of course. Guilliver doesn’t enjoy the way the little society treat him as a giant to defeat other enemies. Guilliver can’t believe that plenty of corruption and mad things happen in Lilliputian. Guilliver argues for his freedom from his chains that they have him in, so he could go out to another adventure.

Assignment #10

Why is Pangloss a significant invidual towards Candide?

- Pangloss is a philosopher and Candide’s mentor taught Candide about there is a reason why things happen and the best of all possible worlds. The best of all possible worlds is the great existing world that God created. Pangloss teaches Candide that if God created the world, the world must be perfect. In which Pangloss wants to see Candide as this optimistic person like him, Pangloss, but most of Pangloss teachings are wrong. Pangloss has a major influence on Candide by brainwashing his innocent mind with the world is a good place, which it is not. Even though he acquires actual knowledge of the real world, he sticks with his faith on being optimistic, because of the good things that occur to him. Candide throughout the story finds a farmer that introduces him to labor in the farm in which gets him a bit of progress of the real world, but still has this tendency towards Pangloss philosophical teachings. I believe that he actually discovers the real world as it is, in which something you do can cause something to happen. The statement, “There is no effect without a cause”. No effect no cause statement, was a saying from Pangloss. That statement could challenge his other saying, “the best possible worlds”, is a wrongful statement to teach Candide. Candide stuck with the “No effect no cause” saying because, he possibly knew but over time. Candide found the truth in a weird manner, which he had stuff happen to him throughout his life. Pangloss was like Candide’s father, but he taught him the wrong view in the world and in life.

How is the old woman a valuable individual to Cunegonde?

- The old woman is a cynical individual that serves under Cunégonde. She is a woman that has been through struggling times like Cunegonde does when Cunegonde’s father Kingdom (castle) is battered by enemies. Cunegonde is a captured by corrupt men, which the corrupt men treat her badly and by doing so she turns her beauty self to a miserable self. The old woman stuck with Cunegonde throughout the journey, because they both had similar things that happen to each other. The old woman was Cunegonde’s helper in a way in where the old woman is baring with her misery life and helping it. The old woman helps Candide and Cunegonde to reunited so they could find their true love once again. It feels like the old woman is a religious support towards Cunegonde in some way. The old woman talks herself from committing suicide from the tragic events that happen to her, which she applies it to Cunegonde, because she is having a terrible life. Most of the story both Cunegonde and the old woman are together going throughout the torchers of the corrupt individuals. The old woman doubts on sort of helping Cunegonde, but the old woman comes to her senses that she needs to help her.

Assignment #9

Why does the Duchess keep her marriage with Antonio a secret from her brothers or from the general public?

- The Duchess of Malfi is a noblewoman that eventually breaks rules by marrying her steward, Antonio. In the European Renaissance period the Duchess wasn't able to marry someone lower than her (regarding her status). She also wasn't able to choose who she married either, for her brothers could only choose who she could marry. The Duchess was previously warned that as a widow, she wasn't able to marry again, especially without the consent from the brothers. The Duchess is risking her upper political status just to be with Antonio and to bare children with him. Once the Duchess's brothers find out about her secret marriage with Antonio from Bosola, they go off to find them and punish them. I believe that once the Duchess told the antagonist characters about her marriage, she decided to keep her family safe by running away. The running away plan fails when both Dutchess and Antonio split up , which led to the Duchess, Antonio, and two out of three children dead. I truly believe that the law during that time period was the reason most of the people died. The brother's self-craziness and obedience towards the law killed their own sister, the Duchess of Malfi.

Does the Author truly want all the characters to die? What was the purpose of mostly everyone dying if mostly nobody wins?

- John Webster is an English writer during the English (European) Renaissance period. Webster is famously known as a young Shakespeare, for his impeccable tragic plays that he has created. The author, John Webster, likes to create a more similar style of writing as William Shakespeare. Shakespeare and Webster both like the art of writing tragic event plays that result in individuals getting hurt or even dying. I believe that making the main characters to die creates a really suspenseful play where a death leads to other deaths. The Duchess of Malfi is a specific type of disastrous play, which is called, " a tragic revenge". A tragic revenge play is a play where one character wasn't supposed to be killed and the killer avenged the person he or she killed. Webster enjoys a play where most individuals die, which he created, "The Duchess of Malfi". He possibly wanted plenty of people to be killed to attract the audience with enough action. Webster wanted to create that clique play plot where once someone signficant dies, another individual will proclaim the previous person's high status title ( for example, the Duchess last surviving child).

Assignment #8

What does the symbolism of the storm in King Lear represent?

- The storm signified King Lear's mind as a whole. King Lear's mind is going crazy as he gets wiser. You know that King Lear is going mad when he decides to give his three daughters a piece of his kingdom, but he tells them how much they love him. To the one that loves him the most gets the greater inheritance, which that is a crazy way to give someone the next position in the throne. King Lear shows plenty of emotion, which involved anger, weakness, and violence. The whole responsibility of being King has definitely worn King Lear out, so that is why he hasn't fully resigned his name of King, but he resigned his King duties and gave them to the daughters. Lear is with full of yes-men individuals, but that is usually normal to have. However, there are people that disagree with his decisions, so King Lear got mad and banish them away from his kingdom. The storm sort of told Lear that this is his mind right now, which he has developed. It gives out this idea that he was fortunate enough to taste his own medicine. The storm is sort of telling King Lear that is what you get for doing his only faithful daughter, Cornelia, wrong. The storm is pure negativity for King Lear and the people around him. Since, the King is going mad, he is not safe to be an authority as he used to be, because he was probably a great King back in his prime, but not anymore since time is definitely impacting him.

What is irrational about Lear giving his kingdom to his three daughters based on how much they love Lear?

- I truly believe that picking who is next towards the throne (power) is way more complex than just giving the throne out of who loves the King the most. King Lear definitely did a mistake to give his inheritance to his daughters out of the love they got for him, because the factors towards the throne is strength, ability to lead a whole cavalry, a people's favorite, etc. love is not a factor for position as King or running a kingdom. It seems that King Lear making this type of decision is truly him not being aware of what he is creating by going forward with this decision. Throughout the King Lear play, King Lear is the starting root of all the issues that is occurring in that play. Once Lear announced that irrational decision, he creates havoc within his walls in the kingdom. In the play, people turn against one another, because they eventually want power and the land to themselves. Lear's both oldest daughters eventually get the divided kingdoms, while Lear's true loyal daughter and the youngest is punished for not professing her love towards his own father, King Lear. The oldest daughters don't deserve the Kingdoms, because they don't love Lear like they claim and plus they betrayed him. The decision of King Lear gives an insight of what King Lear's mind truly is going through. King Lear and the oldest daughters were the one's responsible of Cornelia's tragic death. Other tragic incidents happen throughout the play within the King Lear family.

Assignment #6

What effects does age have in a relationship, especially on having sex?

- In general, maturing is the state of where someone or something is on the way to being fully-grown or is already at the level of grown. Obtaining a relationship that is mature is more complex and has a deeper significance, especially when it comes to sex. Having a relationship that is immature is less meaningless, because someone or something isn’t fully-developed physically and mentally. Having sex at a young age is more of a curiosity that turns into a pathway towards becoming a mature individual. A young relationship doesn’t last as long as a mature one. A mature relationship comes with several responsibilities that creates this reality that sex isn’t constant and is not all that. Once sex reaches to a greater age is more of a soul-bounded relationship where both the man and the woman are more connected as a whole. A sex relation is a big component that has an influence in a person, because one’s two people have intimacy, they have a connection that can be considered “special” or will have a sense of reality. Time also plays a huge factor on maturing, which will also affect the concept of sex in a relationship, because when time flies people have a sense of how they changed from being this childish individual to a serious person. The time someone has is valuable, where they have to live their life to the fullness while they are still young. Maturity is a busy life that the idea of having intercourse all the time is going to perish.

What type of significance does the Flea uphold in a marriage?

- The flea has a symbolic significance where this parasitic animal sucks the blood of two individuals, which mixes their blood together to create this type of bonding. A flea is used as a metaphoric symbol that the flea is considered to a signify a sexual relationship. A flea sucking the blood of two individuals is shown as being a natural thing from nature itself, which creates this view that having a sexual relationship is a natural thing to do with a partner. A flea happens to suck man and a woman isn’t a thing that they both lost their virginity, because it doesn’t affect the male, the female, nor the flea. The man and the woman in the poem of the flea have this argument that sex is or is not sinful. In reality, the man in the poem of the flea has point that having a sexual relationship makes this devoted bonding that can lead to marriage. Marrying someone is a type of commitment that you give to someone else. There is also a point that the woman makes where the flea creates something to another person, which as when an insect that sucks blood from itself or another thing can impact something else. For example, a flea or mosquitos can contain plenty of diseases that can harm a person or something. A sexual relationship should be considered as this valuable thing between two people. The male and female should have a good relation that leads up to having sex.

Assignment #5

Corvino is a wicked individual that treats his own wife poorly, but later changes his mind and comforts Celia. Why does Corvino all of a sudden changes his mind?

- Corvino is being a jealous husband, when he finds Celia (his wife) having an interest in Soto (Volpone) by throwing her handkerchief at Soto (Volpone). Corvino believes that he was been deceived by his own wife, Celia, so he treats her bad in his house and telling her that she is a bad wife for letting her self be that way. He thinks that she is persuaded by volpone’s wealth. Corvino has told Celia what her punishment are. One of the punishments that Corvino told Celia is not letting her get out of the house just for being interested in another person. All the mistreatment that Celia got from Corvino made Celia cry and leave the room. Corvino is then has a change of mind when he is charged and needs to find a woman for Volpone, so he can be removed from that charge. Corvino makes this plan which involves prostituting his own wife to Volpone, so that Corvino and his wife can be on Volpone’s will to obtain some of his fortune. Corvino is just interested in getting his fortune from Volpone, so that is why he is prostituting his own wife. For now, on he is treating his wife good, so she can do her deed for Corvino. Corvino is considered a manipulator because he has this concept of being the alpha male, so he wants to overpower Celia by treating her dreadfully and telling her violent acts that he wants to do to her. Corvino considers her own wife as property.

Why does Sir Politic tells Peregrine all these things of never tell the truth to strangers and have good manners?

- Sir Politics has a talk with Peregrine on what do in Venice if you aren’t a local individual. He explains that if he is not adapted well to Venice an individual can strip him from anything, such as, his rights or take away his belongings from him. It is common sense that one needs to learn to know and well adapt to a new environment for good reasons. For example, if you act as a newbie in a foreign place (a place you never visited before), someone could take advantage of the newbie by robbing the newbie or manipulate the newbie. Peregrine is known for being a traveler, so I believe that he will fit in Venice. He probably has amazing adaptability skills that will make him be one with Venice. Having good table manners is one thing that one seriously needs to know, because someone may label one as a sophisticated individual or a poor individual. In society, people may tend to categorize one’s ability to be with a good approach or even in a good behavior. Back in the day, massive feasts that had significant individuals involved was a necessity to know table etiquette or proper manner in general. So, Sir Politics was just trying to assist Peregrine to know what expect in Venice.

Assignment #4

How does both good and bad angel affect Faustus?

- Faustus is a scholar that wants to learn all the skills of magic to use as an advantage for his own self success. In the middle of him trying to learn the skills of magic, a good angel and bad angel appear to give him some advice on the art of magic. The good angle tells Faustus that utilizing dark magic to grow himself to be successful is an unholy thing to do, while the bad angel encourages Faustus to pursue magic, so he could obtain Faustus’s soul when Faustus asks for supernatural powers that he desires so he could be the great one of Germany. Faustus is convinced that by continuing magic and getting wishes from the Devil, he will strive in life, but he doesn’t know that he is actually giving his soul to Lucifer. Religions, especially Christianity are very sensitive to the whole idea of magic, because they believe that magic is unusual and is related to the negativity of witchcraft that is originated from the underworld. The good angel wants to help Faustus get in right mindset by worshiping God and by committing to the lord he is going to save him from his sins and good things will happen to him if he becomes pure. The actual bad angel and two other friends of Faustus, Valdes and Cornelius, are the ones that are connected to the evil and they want Faustus to join them. Faustus believes that all good is with evil and the devil.

How can Mephastophilis an evil servant be good?

-Mephastophilis himself is a devil that is brought up by Faustus. Mephastophilis is a servant to the the main Devil, Lucifer, but he is also an evil guidance to Faustus, where he is on a mission to get his soul and bring it to Hell. Throughout many years of good and bad life moments Mephastophilis had, he tells Faustus that he should reconsider selling his soul to devil. He mentions to Faustus that he is going to be living in great misery if he follows upon his footsteps and the pathway of dark magic. Mephastophilis is sort of disobeying his ruler Lucifer, because he is trying to persuade Faustus to have a second thought on what he is signing up for. I think that Mephastophilis has a good conscious on what is truly going on in the world of hell. He probably has two personas, one where he gives Faustus all his desires in the world for his soul, but the other one is he is attempting to give himself and Faustus a sense of goodness. Mephastophilis is a reasonable individual that keeps himself neutral, he is not bad nor evil, even though he is serving Lucifer (the devil), he is also getting a sense of how “good” was the right way to go. The acts of evil and good does have a price and place. Individuals head their own way on what is right and what is wrong. We can say that manipulation and gut-feeling are sensors that exist to determine one’s true identity.

Assignment #3

What was the purpose of the letter to Sir John Walter? - The letter was an attempt to clarify what was the Faerie Queene about. He tells that the Faerie Queene is an allegory poem that significance meaning of the corrupt times of England. Spenser says that the story telling of the faerie Queene is odd, because the setting is taking place in fairytale land full of mediaeval characters. On each character there is a symbolic significant behind them, especially the knights. Spenser tells his opinions on how the development of England going into the late renaissance is so chaotic, especially the religions that criticizes the queen, Elizabeth. His poems are an attempt to expose a reality of what was going on. He also tells Sir John Walter that his story of the Faerie Queene was on King Arthur, other poets, and pieces of literature works that are contributed into it. He furthers expands of how the 12 books were supposed to be 12 days of adventures for the knights. His well-written piece of work wanted to be excellent for the readers to understand the times that he was coming from as a child of poverty. There are summaries of how book one through three came to be about, but he also explains that the rest of the work is unfinished and an accident of events. Faerie Queen is also about on the concept of romanticism, where the adventure is for a knight to conquer his lover. It is simply a well written introduction of is yet to come in the books of Faerie Queene.

How is Faerie Queen an allegory poem or story? - The Faerie Queen is completely an allegory story/poem, because is a literature piece of work based on pure meaning and symbolism that represented fifteenth and sixteenth century England. Spenser has related to many of religions, but the most important one that is Christianity and catholic. He was speaking against the Roman Catholics that was placing critics towards his queen, which is Queen Elizabeth. Every knight that is sent by the queen has its own moral allegory, when they go on an adventure. Fictional characters are a good component in the subject of allegory. Allegory can be a level of significance, where the first level can be a simple meaning and the other is a complex reality meaning of what is truly going on. Some of these characters are protagonist and antagonists that had a bit of character and action to the story that Spenser is trying to display. We can say that whenever Spenser was trying to construct this work of literature to his perfection, he is being making the story to have a good imagery, so that the readers have a better understand from where he is coming from. For example, he says that chivalry is one of the things that fascinates him, because that was the times that he grew up on and he likes to write about, and chivalry is a medieval thing that happened during the early times of the renaissance of England. Lastly some of the characters have name which have significant meaning towards the story he is trying to develop.

Assignment #2

How does having so many significant others have a bad reputation in one’s religion?

- I believe that it depends on the religion and one’s values on how they see marriage. Some religions allow males to have various female partners when it comes to marriage. When it comes to a woman trying to marry more than one partner, she is considered a sinful individual. There is plenty of controversy when it comes to women having more than one person regarding intimacy, because if “she is going around with other people”, she is a evil person for not being faithful with the significant other. Marriage is a long-time commitment and is based on loyalty between two individuals, but when one doesn’t commit to the marriage he or she is in some way disobeying a Godly-figure (God).Whenever individuals get married, they get to marry under a holy place or holy traditions where the couple are basically dedicating their relationship in the hands of the father and the heavenly gods.

How is it that men can have polygamy and women cannot back in the day?

- Godly male figures like Hinduism, Christianity, etc. gods were allowed to obtain polygamy, so many people have tended to follow religion that may have those same values and customs. I think that polygamy was written in the scripture back in the day. Even if having more than one partner is considered wrongful, others have still done it. Back in the day where women rights weren’t enforced is a huge component that males can have plenty of intimate relationships and women cannot, because the concept that males were superior over the female in the previous era. For example, in literature stories where a King and Queen have trouble conceiving a child or the King wanted a boy, the King goes to the other female, so they can have a child, preferably a boy. Men want to show off their masculinity by maybe having many female partners.

Assignment #1

How is it that in the novel, “Beowulf”, Beowulf is shown as this heroic individual, but when shown in movies he is a bad guy?

- The novel is a heroic poem that displays Beowulf’s heroic endeavors in the regions of Europe. In the movie of, “Beowulf”, it shows backstory of how Grendel came to be this evil brute, in which Grendel had to avenge his father’s death. In the novel they don’t say how Grendel came to be, while the movie clearly displays that an individual from the Danes killed Grendel’s father and Grendel had to witness it. Grendel was affected by his father’s murder that is why he is far the Danes and the actual person that killed his father. Beowulf seemed like the person to attack or kill and ask questions later. Beowulf also kills Grendel’s mother and tries to kill Grendel’s child, but doesn’t do it because that remind him of the incident of Grendel’s father and the Danes. Beowulf is with the person that killed Grendel’s father which makes him an accomplice, so that is why Grendel had no problem with him, but not too long after he notices that Beowulf is a part of their group. The Danes were the people that provoked Grendel to do this type of act, causing havoc across the land of the Danes. The novel doesn’t describe Grendel’s childhood or what made him the villain that he was. At first Beowulf was involved in the feud between Danes and Grendel, but when he appeared everything change, and he got involved. We must place in consideration that Grendel being this hideous monster isn’t accepted by the Danes, Geats, etc., which means he is a freak towards society causing people to be negative about him.

How does the role of religion have an impact on the characters in the novel?

- The influence of religion, especially Christianity does truly have an impact on the characters in the novel. The novel does mention plenty of bible terms such as “Cain” and “Almighty-God”. All these characters have a great amount of faith in Christianity, because they mentioned many times the word, “God”. The Danes believe that Beowulf is the person to set them free from all these evil monsters that is hurting their home, which is like the story of Jesus where he is brought to this earth to save everyone from their sins. Beowulf is an Old-English text novel that was influenced by Christianity. Beowulf believes that by eliminating the evil it will please the gods from above. One of the themes of this novel is Good vs. Evil, which can also relate to the biblical mention of God vs. Satan. For example, in a movie relating to the novel, “Beowulf”, an elder Dane teaches and expresses his faith of God and Christianity to kids and adults. Satanism is also mention in the novel when they talked about Grendel. Grendel is a descendant from Satan himself, which he was brought to this earth to kill all that is good. The Dane and Geats have much respect towards the upper-class individuals like Beowulf and the Kings, and they treat them like God-sent individuals. Religion was a big factor and what made this poem one of the greatest writings out the subject of English. I believe that this poem was passed on for years, so it also makes sense that the religion of Christianity was passed on influencing many people in the novel and generations ahead.

Assignment #4

1. What would have happened if Khalil and Maverick had the conversation?

I noticed that in this noble, “The Hate U Give”, had plenty of dialogue between characters, but unfortunately the characters, Maverick and Khalil, they didn’t have a conversation like Khalil wanted because he was shot dead by an officer of the law. I am curious to know what would have happen if both characters have gotten a chance to talk to each other. The only possible answer to this question is plentiful, because people that read this novel may have their own opinion on what they could have possibly have spoken about, but I would like to share possible things they could have conversate about. I believe that Khalil wanted to talk about how he may have wanted to stop selling that stuff like Ms. Rosalie claims. They might have probably have spoken about how he wants to stop selling and if he can clear his name from being this negative individual and help him start all over away from the bad stuff. Both could have come up with a plan on what will Khalil will do after Khalil gives up the stuff he was involved in. Those were my thinkable ideas on what they could have talked about. Honestly, I believe that if everyone comes up with something Khalil and Maverick could have talked about if Khalil was alive, one will be correct, but the answer must be related to the idea that Khalil wanted to talk about quitting the whole stuff thing.

2. What would have happened if the school setting was different? Meaning that, “What if Starr was not in Williamson and into a school in her area?”

The same thing goes for this question. Various people that read the novel, “The Hate U Give”, may have their own thought on what will happen if Starr would have been in a school in her area instead of Williamson High School. The only correct answer to this question is once again must relate to the idea that Starr story would have changed if she was in a different school. I truly believe that if she has went to a high school in her area, maybe were her friend Kenya goes, the whole story would change. The whole idea that if she was in another high school would could probably change the story and her persona. The possible ideas of what would have happen if Starr was at another school are: Starr would have the same qualities as her friend Kenya and others at school, the school environment could change her behavior, Starr would be in plenty of parties, etc. The possibilities are endless in this question. Just that many people may have their own perspective on who Starr is shown as. For example, Starr has two different identities one in Garden Heights and the other in Williamson, in a white community. The concept of Starr in another school in her area could potentially erase one identity out of two from Starr and the one that will stay is guaranteed to be the one that acts as her true self in Garden Heights.

Assignment #3

John Toriello: Mr. Toriello physical appearance with the gold-looking glasses and the casual clothing makes him seem as he is an entrepreneur. I say he is an entrepreneur because he appears to be like your stereotypical work at home business man dressing like that on the second picture. After I read the description about John Toriello, he broke his nose back in ‘73 and he used to be in real estate, but then he lost almost four million and now he is unemployed. I was definitely surprised. I was somewhat close to his career.

Allen Makere: Mr. Makere face structure, stands, and the way he dresses makes him look like he is a model. I just picture him as modern-day model working for prestigious fashion brands such as “Dior” and “Michael Kors”. I was spot on with his face looks flawless for the advertising business like modeling, but he is a songwriter/singer. Many people had the same assumption as me, but it didn’t match with his true profession. I wasn’t that surprised to be honest, because that was my second guess.

Robert Sheehan: Mr. Sheehan mean-looking face and the way he dresses makes him seem as he is an underground hip-hop artist. He makes it look like he has had a rough past and he got to make a living by producing music. I can’t believe Robert Sheeran is a professional dog-walker, he doesn’t seem like the type of person to do that profession. He uses different face expressions for different occasion. I believe that after reading the description of him he has adapted from his hometown of Canada to New York City. Me guessing his occupation wasn’t even close.

Assignment #2

Part 1: 1) Kairos is a positive significance that needs to be put out to the public at the right moment and at the right time.

Part 2: 1) I read the cover letter. 2) The person that wrote this cover letter is more focused on plenty of educational background, which is okay and all, but it is all about one’s work experience. They also need to write down the correct information, because I have notice that the person that wrote this cover letter wrote, “... in the same time I managed to bench double my bodyweight and do 35 pull-ups.” this is unnecessary information that employers don’t want or don’t want to know. I also notice that the person did put his or her information, so the employer doesn’t have a way to reach him or her. Some of the cover letter doesn’t sound believable, which makes the reader think there is something wrong. I believe that this cover letter is unsuccessful, because it needs to be double checked for a greater outcome.

Part 3: 1) I believe that Weiss is at the wrong for writing and publishing this type of response to all the colleges that she applied for and didn’t get accepted to. By her writing this type of foolish response she is most likely not to be in good terms with the colleges she spoke upon and maybe other potential colleges or universities that could have given her a chance at their institution. Her usage of figurative language makes her article unwise and selfish. I just think that she already explained why she didn’t get accepted to any colleges, because she doesn’t put the time and effort to create change within herself and society(world). The lack of achievements and experience that she told about herself must of make colleges/universities make the decision on her not being a suitable person to their campus. If I was the person that accepts or rejects people that want to be in my university or college and she showed me everything that she stated I would not have accepted her either. The college and universities are not in the wrong, because she is the person that was in the wrong.

Part 4: 1) Dear XXXX,

I believe that I was doing the right thing of following my class policy regarding tardiness that is posted on my wall and even on my syllabus. You could have probably seen it if you have been here early to my class. I didn’t mean to offend you, I just want a zero-interruption environment for me and my students. It is best to know already that tardiness or being absence of any sort is unacceptable at an institution and even at the work place. Having the quality of being early to places you need to be is favorable. We should both conclude that both parties were at wrong and we should have handle it a bit more professionally.

Assignment #1 1/3: This image has an appeal of emotion to the general audience that sees this image, which makes it pathos. First, you instantly see the sad pug (dog) that is behind a fence and this makes individuals sad for this pug. Second, once someone reads the following paragraph about Otis, the outcome is that the person that finished reading it will feel sadness for Otis, so this makes people want to purchase PEDIGREE for the “PEDIGREE Adaption Drive” where it will help Otis find a loving home and even assist other dogs like Otis. In conclusion, the sorrow tone in the paragraph and a sadly-looking pug(dog) makes individuals gloomy for this pug and makes the audience purchase or donate to help Otis or other dogs just like Otis that are living poorly in a shelter without a loving home.
