Synthesis

The differences and similarities between the T .V. show Smallville and the text "Being a Man"

Some people feel they have to hide who they really are to society to protect themselves and loved one. Smallville and "Being a Man" are going t o help support this thesis.

Similarities
They are two young boys struggling in everyday life to hide who they are or feel they really are. In Smallville Clark struggles to hide all of this powers and that he is from another plant to protect himself and his loved ones. In "Being a Man" by Paul Theroux he struggles to hide who he really wants to be in life, a writer, and he not become so manly.

Differences
The differences between these two stories would have to be that Clark in the TV show Smallville he accepts the fact why he has to hide who he really is to the world. but Paul Theroux in "Being a Man" doesnt want to accept that fact that he is different and he is not OK with that. He feels what he looks like should be the way a man should look like as the standard looking guy that girls look up too! He won't be happy until he has changed people's opinion.

Joy

Joy to me would have to be family! Making your family bigger by creating life and having it grow inside you for nine months or so.

Joy from Kristin

who have to be anything that makes her happy and calm and relax. Also it would also have to make her laugh

synthesis of Joy

Putting Kristins and mine joy feelings together I would have to create the movement of a child inside you hoping to see a footprint on yiur stomach and it would tickle and you would laugh. You wouldnt be able to stop smiling!

Plato's cave

The story that Plato writes about in his book called The Republic called Allegory of the Cave. IN this cave their are captives that their whole life is a fallacy. They are lead to believe that the images they are shown on this cave wall are what is real, and as far as they no all that they see is real. they live their lives in the pretend world and being content with it because they know no better. their captors are almost like a mad scientist trying out there experiments on these people and not caring that they don't have any real life so to speak of. these captors thought they were so wise that they felt that they could keep these ignorant people down below. one man escapes and goes up to a new world to him and now he cant ever go back down under the cave.

First assignment

First I hated the way Anne Lamott wrote that passage. It was an annoying way to write that passage. Sadly that makes me not like or agree with a lot of what she says. But I do agree that you cannot just sit down and write a perfect novel or paper. Any writing piece can always be improved. Nothing will ever be perfect, there is no such thing in life. For me, I love to write essays, letters to friends and family. I dislike rereading what I wrote and revising, but I know that I should and I do. Well most of the time I go back and reread and edit what I just wrote but sometimes I feel lazy or just honestly forget. When I was younger I wanted to be a writer because I did have a natural talent for it, but some way along the read of growing up I just never pursued the passion. My writing has gone up and down in strength but when a day comes and it is a weak day I regret not pursing my childhood dream of becoming a writer. When I write something I can write it and take a long time or sometimes extremely quickly. I also can feel with my writing is great or just alright. I think blogging will improve my writing greatly and increase my typing skills, from being more actuate and faster. I use to have a blog and I’m glad that I will be restarting something that I loved.

The Ad is from Victoria Secret and it is trying to sell bras and sexy underwear. The author is Victoria Secret a worldwide company! Audience for this Ad is for male and female. Mainly for females starting at the age of 13 and up! The purpose for this ad to sell sexy undergarments. they are succeeding with this by placing a beautiful woman in sexy undergarments. They are trying to get the woman to want to look like the woman in the ad, so therefore they feel they will look that good if they buy that underwear. The purpose for the men is that they see that woman and want their woman to look that sexy so they want to buy it to see it on their woman. Pathos goes along with the purpose it makes the men and women feel the need to look like the woman on the ad to get attention. Ethos would be that Victoria Secret is published Worldwide and is one of the top selling clothing company in the world. In this ad there is a lack of Logos.

Gender Roles

In this picture it clearly states that women roles are changing everyday. Back in our past , the women of this country use to stay at home and did work inside the home, not hard labor for a small wage. but now in 2008 it is common now for women to go to work and make the income for the family either with her husband or all by herself. this picture is showing a woman working really hard on a piece of machinery getting a dirty and building muscles. but this lady's face isn't showing a happy face, that she is not pleased with what she is doing, that is also changing each day. there are hardly anymore hard labor jobs like shown in the picture but more cleaner jobs. what I am trying to say is that woman can work just like men and be the bread winner in the family but it is neither right or wrong either way. just make a choice that fits you best! then you will be happy!
