grrrrlll then buns look delicious like a big mac!
This put a wake up call for me to slow down the junk food. Even though i play soccer mcdonalds is here and there. So i just eat subway. But the guy is crazy to not listen to the doctor of how this can hurt him in the long term. This shows you how corrupt america is towards getting healthy

Super size me
I was blown away of what the real effects of food from there had. Especially the super size meal. From that first part of the movie i havent gone to mcdonalds but went to SUBWAy haha. So i guess you can say that ive learned quite a few things about junk food and really bad junk food. The documentary was to prove to us from an experiment of how mcdonalds can really be beneficial to obesity in the U.S.

Fallacies
Ive heard Fallacies a few times in trying to describe some aspects of life. Also how convincing it can turn out to be illustrated. Which would turn out to be fallacy of composition. For example in the book it says a team of five nba all stars is the best team in basketball if each of the five players is the best at his position. The fallacy is called composition because the reasoning commits the error of arguing from the true premise that each member of the group as there own certain property. This fallacy stuck out the most to me. Reminds me of how you can be an under dog and win the unthinkable.

Chapter 6
chapter 6 provided me with information of how to plan and develop a strong argument through questioning your ideas and formulating specific techniques for your argument to establish a point across. More importantly the revision and evaluation of the body essay. It gave me a good sense of what to do in the future when i want to develop an essay more clearly.

chapter 4 blog
I found this chapter to be very interesting because it talks about the visual effects that an argument can have also the persuasion it can have. Also that if some pictures should be posted around the world because it will discriminate the people that it offends. Those can be some of the draw backs to visuals, for example how the Danish published a picture of prophet mahmmad being disrespected. It soon spread to islamic countries and caused an uproar. The value of visuals is that it can create a broad message such as the MLK speech with the lincoln memorial as the visual for the speech.

drive to collingwood
what james stresses in his essay is that global warming is a major issue in todays society. The visual effect is that as he drove and to my sight that theres no sign of snow or anything. Its not even cold enough to make fake snow so he stresses global warming in that visual picture. Its especially surprising because in ski resorts its not always a problem. Mainly because its always located in the coldest areas of America. Then this problem occurs and raises alot of concerns

propaganda techniques
He addresses the pain folks technique because he was really part of middle class america growing up. Having interacial parents and being raised with a single parent. So addressing that really showed a lot of sacrifices hes made. Also the hardships of growing up. He went after McCain of how hes a so called "maverick" when he voted with Bush over 95% of the time. This would be called statistics but with context. Mainly because it shows McCain on t.v. publicly saying he voted with Bush and it shows in the statistics. A big one is confidence because Obama is a person who shows and knows what hes talking about. He's never at a vulnerable stage.
