...on Thursday night... and I'm writing a blog entry for my English class. Okay... I don't want EVERYONE all at once to tell me how cool I am... that would just be overwhelming. I was going to go do something since it's the start of homecoming weekend... but I made a promise to my liver that I would give him a rest... so I stayed home and read parts of a book from Carl Jung about the Collective Unconscious... told you I was awesome. And if THAT is not cool enough for you... I've got the Fonz to help me out. (I think everyone knows who he is... if you've watched Family Guy or Happy Days...)
I just totally wrote in a paragraph full of filler and am totally admitting it. So I guess that would justify my doing so, correct? Thanks for allowing me to validate!
I enjoyed class today... it was nice having a visual medium from which to compare ethos, pathos, logos. I found some of the arguments supporting the repealing of the city ordinance to be pretty pathetic.
If ethos, pathos, logos is confusing anyone... remember root words in the english language and connect them accordingly... like I've written out below.
I'm far from being a pro... I'm just a student... so this might be wrong, Kate please correct me if I am.
Ethos - ETHical appeal. Based on credibility of the writer.
Pathos - PATHOlogical appeal. Emotional appeal.
Logos - LOGical appeal.
Well, that helped me... hopefully it'll help you.
Cheers! and happy weekend.

lol you're "filler" was pretty funny! i love happy days...I use to watch that show all the time. Anyways, I was pretty confused with the whole ethos and jazz but the more and more I think about it and have seen examples in class and all the more it's becoming clear to me. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. See you Tuesday!
