Blog 11

a website source that i am using is the news week international. the article is written by Carolyn sun. the article describes a death that occurred due to video game addiction. another part in the article tells about an instance where a family cares for their virtual child more than their "real" child. the site doesn't have a place to contact the author. the audience of the article is whoever stumbles upon it or is looking for the information the purpose is to raise awareness of the harmful effects of video games in world. the articles shows a bunch of negative effects of the games but also shows some light upon the issues. such don't as saying that pros can make up to $400,000 a year by playing video games pro, these people who do so don't have school activities to be involved in and need something to excel in. the website doesn't have any broken links and it is easy to navigate.

My article is about the video game industry being able to take an image of someone and expanding upon it and even changing it without the consent of the person that it is doing so. in this article it talks about Tim Tebow. the person is afraid that the athlete could be pet rayed as far as  Tim Bowtie, the Satan-worshipping Florida Gator who wears No. 666 instead of his true self who is Tim Tebow which is number 15 and a religious athlete. 
   i find this article helpful because i am going to forward the information about the video game industry and use it to bring out the negative effects that the video game industry has upon people. this just shows the power that the industry withholds. i ultimately look forward to writing this paper.

                  Coca cola ads through out time have used pathos by using images that appeal to the viewer. ranging from Santa clause to hot babes. this grabs the viewers attention and makes them feel a sense of familiarity and even desire. coke uses logos by using these different icons during the time of year that its necessary, such as Santa during the winter and the babes in swimsuits during the summer. the company is so huge that its name along gives off an aura of ethos.

Cassinelli's Essay

There is a lot that i could learn from Cassinelli's essay. 
he was very good at using background information to help the reader understand the topic of his essay he used good diction to the point that it raises his creditability due to the fact that it gives the reader the perception that he really knows what he is talking about. i am going to try to take all of this as much as possible and apply this to my future essays.

I can see the issue with the dolls giving the impression of what is ideal or not. i do doubt the fact that states "young boys are given the impression that men are supposed to have muscles bulging all over their bodies." and showing an Bat man action figure. i disagree with that statement because bat man is an super hero, super heroes are suppose to have muscles and "superhuman powers" and strength is a good attribute for a superhero to have.
In response to the ruby ad campaign, it is unfortunate that females have this set schema of what they should look like especially from a doll. i agree with them in the fact that its not natural nor is it the symbol of beauty. but, Plus sized models are not the answer and neither is barbies that look like the image i posted below.

why?, you may be asking yourself, well 1/3 of america is obese. in 2010 25-29% of ohio is obese.
if we embrace the fact that the majority of Females and males are overweight then it will get out of control.  is barbie healthy?, no she is not and i do believe barbie should be healthier and be based on a healthy female.

- paragraph

i walk into the lounge trying to ignore all the annoying activities that takes place on a daily basis. i first walk in the  room and observe that there is a lot of empty tables and chairs, the food was overly expensive in their so called neat basket. to top it all off, it was rather aggravating due to the fact that my ears was involuntarily intruded by the ruckus of all the pop cans opening, several of students were looking around and neglecting their task. there is groups of kids sitting in a circle living in their expensive electronic screens, the lounge walls were cramped with the kids attempting to be sociable what so ever with their "Friends" that they probably don't even know, posting wall post after wall post just to clog up someones status feed with their so called important posts.
