The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

There a events in life that people deny until they face or go through them. They wait until it comes to them to speak out. Mrs. Hutchinson was oblivious to the possibility of getting selected; guess what happened? This same theme is exemplified through America's the constant curiosity in the state of the Middle East. For a long while, our only concern was with oil. Writers did not have a damn thing to say about that. As soon as 9/11 hit, writers and readers could not get enough of it. That is when people were shocked, " how did this happen", " who is going to pay". In context to the real world, look at the main people pushing AIDs awareness, cancer, and others popular sicknesses. They did not have anything to say about it until what; after they got it or dealt with a loved one's illness. Magic Johnson, Holly Robinson Peete, you name it. That is a major problem with America, as a nation we wait until it personally affects us to do something or speak out.

If Jackson approached this from an expository piece it would reach more people and have much more pathos.

Art Walk Narrative

There was this boy who knew what he wanted but was not exactly sure of what he needed. He knew that he wanted to go to college, to be successful, and to start a family, but the "where", 'how", and "with who" were not in place. The biggest dilemma was over two girls.

The first of the of the two was beautiful and sexy. She had curves for days and a bangin body. To describe her in general she was the sun, hot and seen by all at face value. When the boy thought about her, lust was all he saw in her. He knew that but it was what ruled him. This lust blinded him; it made him ignorant and foolish. When the boy was around her he couold not be him self. He felt the need to acted all cool and nonshalantwhen talking to her.

The other girl was beautiful too, but also smart and intelligent. Although he liked her there was never any sexual tension.Thiis allowed him to be himself and it brought out the best in him.The only problem was that to him, she was a new moon, only seen once and a while unlike the sun. He was also unable to expreeshis feelings to her.

One day, the desides to ask the first girl out. He goes up to her and teels her how he feels, but before she can answer, he is decapitated.

After finding out that Barack Obama did not visit Martin Luther King, Jr.'s grave, Cornel West briefly gives his profound opinion. Dr.West his uses high vocabulary in presenting his position on the event; word in which I cannot fully comprehend.West articulates his feelings by saying, "That brother Martin's profound love and deep sacrifice for black people, America and humanity is in no way reducible to political calculations, even for the campaign for presidency." Dr.King is the most influential social reformer of the 20th century. His contributions to world should be commended. West feels that Barack's campaign for the presidency is not an acceptable excuse for not paying homage to a man of his magnitude. Tens of thousands of people who will never run for the the prisedency have been to Memphis,TN just to be near where Dr.King took his last breath,but he could not make something like this a priority.


Cornel West's credibility is apparent through his numerous publishings like "Race Matters" and most recently "Hope On A Tight Rope," and his many appearances on The Tavis Smiley Show and CNN. He is writing to Barack Obama's supporters.



I like Dr.West as writer and speaker for his judgemental censarity and deep truth. These unique qualities are what I take and incorperate into writing. I will speak as if my opinons are truth.

Scavenger Hunt

Deragatory- disparaging: expressing criticism or low opinion.

Vainglorious-characterized byor exhibiting excessive vanity; boastful.

Perturbation- mental disquiet, disturbance, or agitation.

Responce to Romney campaign.

In the Romney's first ad video, Mitt Romney uses the aristotilean appeal, pathos of fear, love and patriotism to persuade viewers into electing him for president. He uses fear to scare his viewer in to thinking that they "face attack from jihadist." Romney uses love to appeal to the parent's caringness for their children's education when he says "Are schools are failing too many of are kids." He talks about oil spending, government policies and taxation in this advertisement to make a connection and relate with viewers as a caring american. In this ad, Romney attitude seems self-rightous; in doing so he is portrade as the only right answer for America.
The camara is pointed up at an angle toward Romney this shows his superiority and his greatness. The audience is shown clapping in compliance with his speech; this is to affirmation of his credibility.
The flag used in the background symbolizes his "patriotism" for America. Romney is trying to be projected as a "true American" by having a flag flutter behind him in most of the ad.
