Chavez Article

1. Linda Chavez is trying to highlight how crucial  it is for the public to remain under control during the speeches that are now being held after all that has happened. The people who are in the audience listening to these conversations need to be able to control themselves despite differing opinions so that no one in the audience or the person giving the speech are not injured.

2. Bellicose implies warlike or hostile nature. She used this word to describe the words that some poeple believe actually take literally and think that they have to act this way, but Chavez believes that using these such words add emotion to a speech.

3.       A) She is trying to persuade the reader to think that bellicose words are not the reasons why people have been acting so violently lately, and that these words add emotion.
          B) "The very term "campaign" comes from the French word for open land, compagne, and was used in English to refer to the time spent on the battlefield or to a series of distinct military maneuvers. We routinely talk about "rounds" in political debates, though the word can also describe a unit of ammunition. When we say a candidate "took his best shot," we don't mean he aimed a gun at his opponent. Nor does "firing a shot across the bow" mean anything more than issuing a strong warning. Such rhetorical devices enrich our language and putting them off-limits would deprive us of the ability to express ourselves fully."

4. I agree with chavez's article. I think that taking away these words would make speechs boring and poeple would lose focus and not want to listening or read them anymore.

Conserve, Reuse, Recycle

1. The most important quote to Semrau's article is,  "Quite simply, use what you have until it can no longer function."

2. Semrau keeping information from the reader helps the intent of the story in the sense that it keeps the reader interested in the story and also keeps him guessing about what the story is about. By the story being more interesting the reader will think about donating their body. The way how he reveals his point is effective to the essay. This is because he writes the importance of going "green" and the reader at first would assume he is going "green" right at the moment with materials such as plastic, paper, and cans. Near the end of the essay, he mentions he is going to medical school in the cheapest way possible. What he means by this statement is that when he dies he is going to donate his body to Harvard Medical School. He said that is too late in his late age of 75 years to conserve because he was already born and using resources. Recycling, according to Semrau, would not apply to him. So he is down to one way to go "green" and that is reuse. After he is no longer useful for work when he dies, he feels that the only way he can be useful is to donate his cadavar to science.

Savior of the Nations Come

In the hyme, Luther is talks about Jesus' birth and how we should glorify him. He uses pathos to help us better understand how powerful this deed was that Jesus did for us, which is dying on the cross to save us from our sins. It also shows how pasionate he is toward this. In the first and second verses he talks about Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary and coming to earth as man. He uses words such as flesh and blood to describe Christ as being man. In verses three, four, and five, he goes on to talk about how the world betrayed him, but he was still king in heaven. Then he rose from the dead with defeat over sin. Luther says that his song of triumph swells. He also says that his kingdom will be boundless and we are waiting to see its holyness. This shows that he was also true God, because only true God can die and raise again to save man from their sins. The last two verses are more about us and our response to what Jesus did for us. He says we should have faith in him and keep our faith shining, and that we should accept the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as our Holy Trinity.

3. Rev. Borghardt talked about the joy of becoming a believer in Jesus. He told of the eternal life, and salvation you will receive once becoming a Christain and that you have to do nothing to receive these wonderful gifts. He also explains that we go to Heaven once our worldly bodies die. All of this is referred to as the Gospel. On the other hand, Edwards theme in his sermon is to make the people fear God. He does this by making it sound like God is an angry God and we have to follow the Law perfectly to receive His salvation.

Law banning items from rearview mirrors is being rethought

This article is about reducing the Michigan ban on objects hanging from the rearview mirror. Michigan lawmakers are thinking about allowing small items to be hung from the mirror as long as they do not block the driver's view. Some people were just ignorant of the law: "'I thought it was legal as long as it's not something that obstructs your view.'" I think this is the best quote in the article because I believe that most people in the state of Michigan also had no idea about the law. I certainly didn't. I have always seen people hang different items from their mirrors, so I would have never thought that it was illegal. I understand why the ban is in place, but as long as someone is not going overboard with the fuzzy dice and air fresheners, I think people should be allowed to hang small items. If it is not impairing their driving, I do not have a problem with it. I agree with the statement of allowing small items to hang from the rearview mirror.

Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom's point was to show that the statement about race was pointless. I agree with Mitch's point here because there was no reason to bring up race. It was a needless excuse that is often used towards African American athletes. Mitch Albom's most effective point was when he quotes Lebron by saying "I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach". Lebron's ego is out of control that he does not even mention his teammates he just states I am going to South Beach.
