"Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

One story telling technique that I found was diction. Just in the first couple of paragraphs the diction shows the tone of the story really well. The diction is used to show that the author is going for a scary theme because he describes the headless horseman and it is creepy to picture that in my head.

"Legand of Sleepy Hollow" Vocab/First Impression

So far I think that "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is interesting because this isn't something that I normally read. I think that it is going to be creepy because of the first couple of pages. It introduces the character on the horse with no head and that it just weird to think about and picture.

The Legen of Sleep Hollow

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Blair Witch Project seem like they are real and like its actually happening. Both of these seem like they would be scary just from the word choice.

Vocab Remix #8

1.Flout-Openly disregard

Presidential Debate Logical Fallicies

First of all I think that Obama won this debate because he answered all of his questions and Romney just talked around some of his questions.

Throughout the debate argument ad numeron was being used constantly because both the President and Romney kept going to numbers to help support there statements.
Verecundiam is also used and the example used is when President Obama told Romney that he does not have power to make war decisions.
Circulus in Demonstrando was also used and an example was during the beginning of the debate and both President Obama and Romney kept going back and forth about Iraq and they were getting nowhere with that topic.



I am in a group with Whitney Houg Sarah Stevens, Ethan Clardy, and Connor Albright.

Remix Emerson's Self Reliance

Emerson's Self Reliance essay is basically pointing out that we need to be our own person and not let people control us and make us into something that we are not. We are born as an individual but are raised and taught to do things in certain ways. As you get older we begin to let society control us because we start to do things that are cool and popular and it may not be what you want to do but you do it anyways to be cool. We are also becoming more dependent on things as we grow up because we can't do things for ourselves  and the things become apart of our daily lives. Computers, phones, and t.v.'s are just a few examples of things that we depend on because we have to use them everyday.  We don't need people to control us and tell us what to do. We can live by ourselves but we can go to people for help to get advise, but in the end you have to make your own decision that is best for you. In all just make sure that you are not being controlled and be your own person and make sure that you are happy.

David Guetta Movie

Uriel and Ricky basically explained how are class is related to the movie. In the movie David Guetta did something that no artist had ever done before and it turned out to be a big thing that changed his life. This is related to our class because we are doing things differently and I think that it will benefit most of us in the long run.

Ad-Hominem

Ad-Hominem=Argue directed at a person
An example of an ad hominem in the show Full House. Joey and Uncle Jessy re arguing and Joey yells that Uncle Jessie's hair is stupid. This is an example of an ad hominum because what joey said is going directly towards Uncle Jessy.

LAQ #1

 General

1.)The plot of The Hunger Games is that Katniss Everdeen has volunteered to be a contestant for the hunger games because her younger sister Prim was chosen. Throughout the Games she is doing all that she can to survive with the help of Peeta who is the boy from her district. When all seems lost she pulls herself together and becomes the winner of the Hunger Games with Peeta.
