Officer, I am a student at Harvard University. There is no reason why I should be getting pulled over right now. I am a straight A student and I have a 4.0 GPA, was first in my class and made a whole one hundred thousand dollars for cancer, while I was also working on a project for starving children in Africa. I am a good person because of all of this. I am a good student, worked hard for good causes, and this is the thanks I get from society. I get pulled over for going a little over the speed limit.…
Although I should know better by now as well as many others, I can not help but to get drawn to products with catchy advertising.

Through having this knowledge, sporting goods companies gain loyal, lifelong, customers by having simple slogans and memorable endorsers.…

Obviously, pathos is a large part of the Analysis of Space paper. Throughout my paper, I wanted to describe my desk as messy, but comforting. My goal here was to connect with the reader’s emotions. Even if the reader preferred a clean desk, he or she would be able to better understand why I prefer a messy desk. In the paragraph about the wood my desk is made of, I chose to compare its color to that of coffee. Coffee is a morning ritual that many enjoy, which makes my writing easier for the reader to connect with emotionally.…
When it comes to eating healthier or building more muscles, some people tend to think eating fresh-healthy foods is going to help accomplish that. While that may sound enticing and convincing, there are some companies out there that will take advantage of people’s lack of education in nutrition and manipulate individuals’ ideas in dictating what is a “healthy” way of eating.

(MIP)The society Jonas lives in made the decision to remove color from the genetics of the people, therefore limiting their choices and emotions. My logical fallacy is slippery slope which shows an unrealistic comparison to reality. (SIP-A)This meme focuses on how the community made the decision to remove color and shows an unrealistic representation of why they made their decision, and how their decision affected the people in their society. (STEWE-1) The Giver explains to Jonas how the community altered the people's genetics from birth to make them color blind eliminating their choices and opinions. “We've never completely mastered Sameness. I suppose the genetic scientists are still hard at work trying to work the kinks out” (95). (STEWE- 2)The…
