blog on gender

In this image it shows how gender roles play a huge part in our society. In our society, there are certain roled among men and women. It is said that men are stronger, powerful, and incharge of providing for his family. whereas for women they are said to be house wives who cook, clean, take care of children and run the house hold. Today the roles of gender are changing but in sense they are still there for some people and will always be apart of our part. In this image it shows a women in a kitchen over a stove cooking. She is probably providing a meal for her husband and children as in society that is what women are suppose to be doing. This image i believe is a great example of gender roles and it shows that in our society women and men are expected to do certain things because that is just way it has always been. You dont see a man in this image slaving over the slove, well that is because to our society that is what women are suppose to do. If we were to see a man do that, it would be out of the norm and people would wonder. If you saw a man in this image it would simply be him maybe talking to his wife or sitting at the table. In our society men and women have such different roles, it makes it complicated if they were to do anything out of the norm of there gender role. but now days in our society gender roles are chnaging, and for the better. They are making some things now acceptable of both men and women which i believe in a better solution and is a great freshment for our society.

smoking ad

In this picture it is an ad that shows the effects about smoking and what it can do to a persons body. This picture is about a man who smoked and from that he got throat cancer and now he has to speak throw a machine because he has a hole in his throat. The author is NYC health and they are there for anyone who needs help on how to quit smoking. The audience is for the public and for anyone who is a smoker. The purpose is to advise people on the effects of smoking and what it can do to your body.
The pathos in this ad is that is shows a lot of sympathy for this man who now has to talk through a machine because there is a hole in this throat. The ad provokes an emotion for people to feel bad for this man and he is there to show everyone just how important being smoke feel really is. The ethos is the persuasive strategy that the author uses to persuade people from not smoking. This man is the face if this advertisment because he is showing that if you smoke there is always a chance that you too could get throat cancer and end up like him. The logos in this ad isnt very big but it still shows the effects of what smoking does and how it damages your body. They make a clear connection between smoking and they effects that it can do. But the main appeal that is used i would have to say it was pathos and they show pathos off alot by the title, " Nothing will ever be the same", so that will get people so see how sad this man is and that people should quit smoking.

First blog: my writing skills

In our first blog assignment we were to read an essay by Anne lamott about her writing methods and how they compare to ours. The way she writes is some what simiar to mine because she just puts all her ideas down on paper even if it doesnt sound good or make sense, it is her first draft so she soesnt care because no one is going to see it. Then she will go back and try to reword it and make it a better and readable paper. So in a way i have a similar writing method as her beacause my writting process is to write down my first draft and try to put all my ideas on paper then go back a fix it to make it a readable and great paper. The way i write would have to be long and tedious beacause im not a very good writer so it takes me a long time to process what i want to write and make it a good paper. In my opion i do not like to write, i have never been good at it and i just dont like it very much. People always say that you are either a math person or english person and i would say i am a math person and not an english person.Im not very good at english and writing papers but i hope to get better. But with this blogging assignments i hope it will affect my writing skills to improve them and make me a better writter.
