Freshman year

I can't believe its the last week before finals! I feel like this semester went by really fast. I hope everyone enjoyed their classes and made lots of new friends. My first year at BSU was amazing. I got to experience new things and make a new name for myself. I was very sad when we had to leave campus early due to the virus. I made so many new friends and it was hard to leave them all. Ball State is my new home and I am ready to go back. I hope everyone had a good first year and is ready to have fun when we go back!!

  1. I would agree the semester went by very fast. Its great to read that people are excited and happy about their school experiences especially as a freshman. Even with all of the virus news its nice to see people with a more positive mindset.

  2. I feel like this year went super fast as well. It was very sad having to change to all online and leave campus. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by the fall that way we can all get back and be with our friends! I hope you are staying healthy and safe!

thank you for arguing ch. 13

In the beginning of chapter 13 it talks about logos working well as a defense because you can't check all the facts of an argument. It talks about that logos means more than logic. The greeks applied logos to logic, conversation, and all the words and strategies that go into an argument. You can also apply values and attitudes to a particular problem. We did an activity over deductive and inductive logic. We can include these aspects into our WP #3 to make our papers better. We can also have a premise which is a fact or commonplace. In the chapter it says the premise is the proof and the deductive logic starts with a general premise and works toward a specific fact. It says every logical argument has a proof and a conclusion. The conclusion is a choice that you want the audience to make.

Rhetoric and Exercise

Rhetoric is far more intertwined within society than I could have ever expected it to be. I am looking for rhetoric everywhere I look, whether it's the news or at a department store. One thing I particularity found interesting was on how we can use it to sway people to exercise more.. Many people may know that I am trying to become a Physical Education Teacher, and it is part of my job to motivate young adults to adopt healthy behaviors for life. If I learn how to use rhetoric effectively than I am almost guaranteed to sway these young adults to achieve there health goals. Approaching rhetoric with Pathos is a method to pull emotion into why it is important to build healthy habits like exercise, and why achieving your body shape goals are achievable through hard work.
