Rhetorical Analysis

Book

The book that i read showed the ethical implications of cloning. The book used two sheeps as its visual on the title page to show animals cloned. The book showed many different ways why cloning can be ethical and unethical. It seems as if the book would be for ages twenty and older because of the way the book gives it examples. Both males and females can read this book and not get offended. Also professors would most lkley use this text.

The book soucre used regular people as their examples of people getting affected. The book argues about the implications and explains that people can clone for the wrong reasons. This book can be used to show why cloning is unethical and it shows how middle class can be affected.

Film

The film used clone armies as thier visual toto show that clones can bring huge changes to a place. Textual elements would be at the beginning of the movie when they show the story of the clone army. It shows that these armies are very strong. People fron the age of 10 and up can watch this movie and the movie shows the how clones can change the world.

They used regular people such as luke skywalker to portray the regular people that will be effected on earth. The movie showed why the clones attacked and how they got so strong. Emotion that was shown in the film was when darth vader said "luke i am your father". The film is basically showing the implications of what will happen to people if clones are made.

Song

This was very interesting because the song was by one of my favorite artists. Eminem with his crazy lyrics and thoughts made this song show how clone would not seem like real people.He uses visuals of himself and many clones that are trying to look like him. his text says that no one can be the real slim shady. Also he argues that no clone can match him. This song is very explicit and should only be heard by age 18 and up. no grandparents though.

In this song slim shady shows that no one can be close to the real him. His crazy lyrics show how emotional he is about the subject. He shows alot of clone look alikes but they still cant be like him. this type of reasoning shows that a clone cannot be a regular person. Thats what its implying. Slim shady make sure he shows that by being vulgar.

Image

in the image the visual is of many clones Mr. smiths from the matrix movie. There is no textual information but the arguement is that power can come with numbers. This is shown because there is many evil faces on one picture and it is all of many clones

The many clones show appeal to the amount of clones that could possible be in the world. The clones in the picture show no emotion. all the faces are the same. They all have the same attributes which make all the clones seem unchangeable. They all seem to have to be the same person.

This weeks posting is about an interview with toni morrison. She is a famous writer who wrote the books beloved and loved. She is an author that has gone through many things in her life and she writes her lines with Love. She thinks she has not written her best work and she thinks when you keep writing over and over your writing will get better. She also has alot to say about life and she uses these ideas to write the characters in her books.

My reaction to this interview made me view thing alot different in life. She had many things that i have went through in my life written in her book. She also said that you should do the things that you need to do in life. she takes these ideas and writes about it in her book. i think that the ideas that she has in her life reflect to my life. she onbly does what she loves. Thats exactly what i want. people try to hold me back because they think i make stupid decisions. And i got myself to college in the first place.

This interview reflects many peoples lives. I think that her book loved show that people need real love in there life. She said one line that really stuck in my head. Two nights stand trying to last a season. Sex the clown of love. thes two lines reflected how i feel about relationships. although people are suppose to live a "college life" it doesnt mean you have to go crazy and have sex with everyone. im different cause im actually in a relationship. i watch as everyone has such a different life style. Sometimes people dont understand me. Just because i dont have sex with the whole world. lol

1. Have you ever been in real love?
2. What do you think college life should be like.
3. What is your definition of love?

Well in this weeks reading we went away from voglers hero journey once again. We actually focused on an article about the simpsons and it value on televsion. In the reading it talked about how the show was a bif risk for Fox's television company. This was because the simpsons played with many American Values that citizens deal with everyday. The Simpsons show played with many of those elements and actually made everything that might have been seriously in our american econmy very humorous. This show was criticized on many different ways for is lack of discpiline and respect for the American culture.

My reaction to this peice was positive. Atlhough i knew the simpsons was very funny i still believe that it is quite wrong to destroy American values. People that are living well in life may watch the show in laugh because they dont have almost any of the problems a regular middle class family would. They laugh because they never see them sleves in such bad situatution. On the other hand people that are lower class will look at this and not find this as humorous. They see these hardships and they see themselves struggling everyday.

This article reflected to many tv shows that are on tv today. Alot of the shows on tv reflect the same values as the show the simpsons. These shows show life in a different perspective of life. These shows stretch out American values to the fullest and they destroy them. This might be funny to people that dont have these problems. but people with these problems may see this as disrespect.

1. Are you discrimnated against in the Simpsons?
2. Do you find the simpsons harm American values?
3. What shows on tv reflect the simpsons?

This weeks reading we switched it up a little bit. We threw vogler to the curb and started read The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. This book was actually about females. I find this very interesting because females are an important part of this earth. In this book she explains that women are basically charcterized by men. Women have always been judged and til this day are still judged. She finds that she should not even have to talk about this anymore because the topic has been drug around for many years. In this book she asks many questions about women. she really gets deep into the topic of women to try to explain why they have been oppressed for many years.

I think this reading can pretty much match my life. I am a black college student. Although slavery has been out of power for many years i still sometimes feel like i am opressed and catogorized as other. Women , even white women have been opressed for years and havent been giving the priveleges that they need and want. i think the same thing goes for me. Sometimes i feel like i am not apart of a "white" society and i feel like people are privleged when it comes to their color. i still think people are racist and doubtful of "black" people and althoughthey might not think they are they look down on us. Ive ran into many situations that have made me un comfortable and that is why to this day i still think blacks are opressed just like women.

I also so can reflect this to playing basketball. There are so many players around the world. Only those few players get their shots to play bvasketball and the big leagues. Alot of players are the same buyt the ones who mo ve forward are the players who have been on the big scene since they were young. If you have not been doin that then you really dont get a chance at playing on high named teams . i think this is kind of how women get oppressed. The kids who doont get much exposure are the ones who hardly get a shot at doing anything.

1. Have you ever been opressed?
2.Do you feel that women are still less priveleged.
3. Are women capable of doing the same things a man can do in any situations?
