"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.

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.

People get one caveat and then get kicked out for doing it again.

The decorations were blazon.
