Chapter 13

In comm40 (argument and debate), I learned a bit about ethos and pathos. I vaguely remember that ethos involved credibility. I don't remember what pathos meant. Each editorial reminded me of something different. The first editorial reminded me of National Treasure. In the movie, the main character has to read editorials from Benjamin Franklin. The second editorial about the no child left behind act made me think of an idea and not a particular subject. In one of my classes we discussed something similar. The no child left behind act isn't really good for everyone. It delays some students and the money used for the remedial classes could be used for other students. The last editorial about September 11, reminded me of that morning. My mom woke me up telling me to turn on the t.v. and it showed an airplane in the world trade center. I remember school was canceled that day. The one editorial that stood out in my mind was, "The Case For Affirmative Action" It reminded me of The Little Rock Nine incident.
