Egyptian Tomb found

King Ptolemy IV's temple was discovered on September 30th. It's around 4,400 years old. It was found in Tama,Egypt.  King ptolemy IV was the macedonian king of Egypt. He was known as a pharaoh but he wanted to escape that type of life. He lied and pretended to be an artist most of his life. The king life was not exactly for him anyway. He lost territory in places known today as Lebanon and Syria. In return Egyptian people revolted. He later died in secret.

    I wonder how many other hidden treasures are among us. It is so interesting to find forgotten or unknown locations. We are so fortunate to know what we do today, about the past. Life has been so different for so many civilizations. I find new discoveries to be rare, making it so much more interesting.

    Wow truly amazing. Finds like this makes many what else is still out there to be discovered. espically in the oceans it is reported that 80 percent of our oceans are unmapped leaving the question of what could be down there? what new animals, plants, or even lost artifacts could be lingering in the deep blue.

    It is amazing to see what we can learn about our past. Technology and techniques have improved so much over the years that we can tell someone's entire life story from thousands of years ago. It makes me wonder what they'll know about our society thousands of years from now.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Ethos, pathos, and logos are 3 main persuasive tools discussed in class and by Heinrich in chapter 4 in "Thank You For Arguing". These are described as Aristotle's Big Three, ethos or argument by character employs your credibility and knowledge. Logos is an argument by logic or evidence and reasoning to use what your thinking, while pathos appeals towards emotion, beliefs, or conviction.  Heinrich applies these persuasive tools to try and convince his son to not wear shorts during winter. However, his son disagrees with him, and Heinrich begins using ethos to persuade his son by using a "stern father act" but fails miserably. Then he applies logos into the mix by pulling up his pant legs and acting silly in front of his son and still ends up losing. Finally, Heinrich uses pathos and makes a deal with his son, they both come out happy. These three tools are embedded in our day to day lives and are used to appeal towards our audience's emotion and logic whil...

Ch. 6 "Make them Listen" and Ch.7 "Use your Craft"

        Some of the key things Jay Heinrichs brings to our attention the 4 ways to pump up your rhetorical virtue in chapter 6. The 4 ways include: brag, get a witness to brag for you, reveal a tactical law and switch sides when the powers that be do. Also in Chapter 7 "Use your Craft" Jay Heinrichs talks about the 3 ways to get the audience to trust your decision. Such as show off your experience, bend the rules and seem to take middle course. I personally like this book because it teaches and makes me think about rhetoric. Before this class I never heard of rhetoric nor even knew it existed, I like that Jay gives us little key things such as what is above and how in chapter 1 he included his personal life.

Why it is important to preserve the environment

The various impacts humans have on the environment are common knowledge at this point, but what a lot of people don't know is the permanence of their actions. Recovering from future effects, and many of the impacts we've already seen, will be far more difficult than many people realize. For example, the Amazon Rainforest. The wildfires and deforestation in the amazon are broadcasted on all sorts of media platforms. But, recovering from this is far from simply planting a few more trees. There are over forty-thousand different plant species in the amazon, and over two-thousand different species of animals. According to the site New Scientist; it will take roughly sixty-five years for certain aspects to recover, and it will take upwards of four-thousand years for the landscape to revert back to it's native state. This is partially because the Amazon Rainforest is in a tropical wet climate. They see roughly one-hundred and twenty inches of rainfall annually. The massive amounts...
