Huxley's Interview

Huxley's interview really helped me see how he thought society was and where it was headed. You really get a feel of why he wrote the book because he describes how people do what makes them happy. It was awesome beimg able to actually hear him speak and his ideas come out.

Masterpiece Drawings

I took time this weekend to draw some pictures which is part of what I wanted to do for my masterpiece project. I wanted to draw because I like the artistic aspect of game development. These were the two drawings I made over the weekend.

Chapter 1

I thought it was crazy how they have certain types of babies like "intelligent" ones.
I chose Langston Hughes because it interests me that Dr. Preston says he's Anerica's first rapper.

Class Notes (3/26/15)

People seem to trust those who really apply themselves to what they're talking about. They like when people introduce themselves and try to engage in the conversation. 

Ethos: The character of the person who's doing the speaking. The identity of the speaker. (Dressing, context in which they're introduced, their expertise)

Pathos: The emotion a speaker brings to the message. (Optimism, derogatory)

Logos: How well a speaker arranges their argument.


John F. Kenedy Speech: Right away you get ethos. They inroduce him as the president and he's wearing a suit and tie with a lot of media around him. Kenedy speaks really confidently and firmly. He only makes pauses every once in a while but throughout the whole speech he is very confident. It makes people want to trust and like him even more. "We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

The Red Herring

I chose this image to demonstrate The Red Herring fallacy which is the fallacy of distraction. The murderer distracts the officer by telling him something totally of topic and then kills him. It shows how the fallacy works and I thought it went well with our previous class discussions on law enforcement.
