    Although Trump has the chance do you think he really will focus on this issue at all? It seems to me like the president only focuses on a couple large country issues at a time. It would be really important if he supported this because animal cruelty is a serious issue that keeps getting worse.

    I think Donald Trump should most definitely make animal cruelty a federal crime because it it basically the same as human cruelty. Animals are living, breathing, sentient beings just like us. Without a law in place whose going to protect these animals?

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.

Thank You for Arguing Chapter 4

In chapter 4 in Thank You for Arguing, Heinrichs talks about the 3 different tools of persuasion; argument by character, logic, and emotion. He uses the example of his son wanting to wear shorts to school in the winter. He first tried to persaude him by using a stern fatherly act by saying "you have to because I told you so" and that tool did not work. Furthermore, he uses logic by telling his son that he will get chapped if he wears short out in the winter and that tool did not work. So he finally tried emotion by aking a deal with his son. This step finally got the situation settled. Heinrichs also lays out Artistole 's Big Three which are ethos, pathos, and logos. You can use these three tools of persuasion to get your way in a conversation.
