Between this class and my English 215 class my opinion  of English classes have changed drastically. I used to think all english teachers were mean old people who used their class time to crush the sprits of their students. This class was the "cherry on top" that  changed my opinion. This class was actually fun and I really enjoyed it. This is my last  english class I have to take for both my majors and it was a good one to end on.

Logic Fallacies:

Athletic shoe commercials are really bad about logic fallacies. For example Air Jordan's, wear these shoes you will play basketball like MJ. This not the case, the shoe is merely a brand choice, it doesn't affect  the person althetic abilities.

Magic Mike Trailer 

This is the typical guy-girl romance where there is some conflict keeping the couple "a part". In this particular movie the guy is a  hot male stripper and the girl who he falls for is the sister of his young co-worker (who he is training). The sister has a problem with his life style, this cause the conflict. But surprisingly they end up together (I think) .

 

This statue says his guy is important. With his hands folded it makes me think of this fellow was wise and fair. 






He also has a serious look on his face and his head is bent down, this gives off a serious vibe. He is in a suite 






So he has to be official, maybe a business man. 

Topic: Different types of therapy used to treat mental disorders.

Psychologist: " How effective is drug therapy compared to other forms of therapy, such as cognitive therapy? "

Patient: "When going through treatment how quickly did you see results"

This website sucks because it is has a bad layout, you don't know it purpose, and it is not eye catchy.

This website doen't suck because it has an awesome sale going on, its color scheme matches, and you know its purpose.

The bright colors on this cover automatically screams look at me! The first thing you see after it catches your eye is the famous singer, Pink, in a bright red showy dress. In the right hand corner it says,” Pink, How she keeps her Love so Hot". As everyone knows She has a reputation of being a "bad ass"and everyone knows Cosmo magazine is known for its sexual content. But since Pink has started a family has she turned into a softie? "I can't drink as much since I am breasting feeding" I think this statement made in the article by Pink lets us know that she is still a hard ass. But she is enjoying mother-hood, "Hell, yeah, I gained 55 pounds. I think my baby may be part cheesecake.” This cover is trying to appeal to the audience’s curiosity and the fans of Pink.

                                                           Free Write for 5

Topic I like the best is mental, personality disorders. Psychology is interesting , I want to write on it. I'm thinking of maybe doing the causes behind mental disorders and the drugs to treat them. Worried that it is too broad of a topic. I might write on the psychological development of the brain. I like the idea f picking a natural substance that you find in different beauty supplies and ect. Lignin and waxes would be good to use. Writing on an American Icon like Benjamin Franklin would be cool. Writing on Fairy tales would be interesting too.  Maybe writing on another cultures love story or their fairy tales. Origin of fairy tales. Development of a sport over the ages. Maybe write on the development of Bill Turner's development of his TV network. Maybe the fast food restaurants that were started in Atlanta. eg. Chickfila. Change of music in America over the decade. Change of clothing over the decade.

                         IT SUCKS....

·      Republican symbol sucks. Their symbol sucks because elephants are too big.

                         I NEED COFFEE! 

To write a paper I have to have coffee. Just something about a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks stirs my creativity. I also need to be in a very quite location,  sometimes I can put a soft song on repeat and that helps. Being under pressure also helps me get started writing and once  I get started writing I can keep it coming. But don't get me wrong when I say I need to be under pressure to get started, I don't mean wait till last minute. I keep my school work on a tight schedule   so when I say under pressure I mean pressure to get it done so I stay ahead. Night time seems like the best time for me to write. The writing isn't really the hard part for me if I understand the topic, the spelling and grammar is what gets me! Lawd help! If I didn't have spell check I wouldn't be able to pass an english class to save my life. 

Anyone who plagiarize  is not the brightest light bulb in the closet because if they haven't realize that teachers have their special ways of catching it. My mom is a reading teacher for an elementary school and has taught college classes for a few years, so growing up I knew how easy it is to get busted. The main reason I wouldn't plagiarize is I do not want to earn a zero. Zeros are pretty much impossible to bring up. Another reason I wouldn't plagiarize is because you can get into serious trouble with the university. I  am also too much of a conformist and too little of a rebel to cheat. So basically I'm just not going to plagiarize because I'm not supposed to plagiarize. Besides all the common sense aspects of not plagiarizing there is the moral side of it. I like to take pride in the grade I earned. I also like the idea that  I did it myself, that I am independent.  It takes a strong person not to plagiarize and I would never let my self be considered weak. I promise I won't plagiarize

Crocodiles are majestic, powerful, and amazing creatures


Look at this crocodile, just look at it! Now look at it again! What part of this beautiful creature does not scream I am majestic? Those proud shoulders with his head held up high shows how powerful he is and if that wasn't enough to convince you he was powerful, try to pet him. This creature has been pulling off the reptile print since the time of the dinosaurs, how AMAZING is that! If by now you haven't come to the conclusion this crocodile is a majestic, powerful, and amazing creature then you are whack!  Really you should come to this conclusion for all crocodiles because they are all the same. 


Crocodiles are ridiculous looking, silly, and lame creatures.


OMG reptile print?! Hello 90s! This croc is so out of style, it looks ridiculous. Those ugly teeth and beady eyes make them all look so silly! Crocodiles are no ones favorite creature probably because they are lame.  All they do is sit around in nasty water all day. In fact they are so lame they should go extinct already. Seriously.

The first element I see when I look at this ad is two attractive young people drinking Pepsi and having a fun time by the beach. This part of the ad is playing on audience's emotions. Society idolizes the young and attractive. Next I notice the caption at the bottom where it states, " Pepsi the Light refreshment". Now I am associating Pepsi with a healthy life style. The product is appealing to the health conscious part of population. I notice the vintage appearance the ad has. Assuming it is created during today’s time, this ad now appeals to the older generation who grew up during that time period. After putting all the clues together I realize that the audience the ad is targeting is middle age, slightly overweight portion of the population. The thesis of this ad is "Drinking Pepsi will make your life like the one in the ad." This is known as a casual argument. If you buy this product your life will be like the one in the ad.

About Me!

My name is Sara Kennedy. I am an Economics Major at Clemson University but I am trying to double major with a Psychology degree. I plan on attending law school after graduation. My dream is to become a corporate lawyer, looking over legal documents for some big fancy company! Anyway, I grew up on a small farm in a no red lights, can't find it on a map town called, Donalds, SC .  I have a father who runs around the farm with his pet chihuahua, a mother whose cooking could show up Paula Dean's, and brother who is obsessed with chicken farming. I myself am more into blowing my pay check on new clothes and picking out the puppy I will be getting this fall. Some things that I hate include spelling, cows, and abortions. Well, that about sums me up!
