Yes, I'm here again, mostly just because I can't keep myself away. Honestly this is starting to grow on me as one of my favorite topics so far in this class. I cannot help, I've noticed, judging things with this mindset in place. It's just that Mr. Beitelman has given a name to the way I think. It's kinda difficult, though, to think about it in terms of Logos Pathos and Ethos. I start to think of those three magical words every time I see a commercial or a billboard now, what exactly are these things trying to get at, I wonder. I've always wondered what everyone is trying to sell me, and I think everything is trying to sell me something, whether it's an idea or a friendship or some fruit roll ups or whatever. Now I've added another question to the list.
How are they trying to sell it?
Using these two questions I can probably become the kind of person that no one really wants to be around. That's not what I'm going for, though, so I suppose I'll have to wait till I'm home alone, watching TV or looking at the computer screen, and I'll wonder just what America has turned in to. And not just America. The whole world.
