In this story it talks about a woman named Desiree and her baby. This story talks mainly about racism and how it is used in this time and setting. The racism brings out the "One drop rule" that Thomas Jefferson created for all those to know and how true blacks can be identified. I feel with that rule, it made it really hard for the blacks who were mixed to live a nice life because it basically put them on the spot. This story points out the sarcasm and signs of the family, her reaction, and how Armand felt after he found out the truth.
To me I feel this story has a secret that isn't explained until the end of the text. It also has alot of sacastic reactions and remarks that the characters made. When Ms. Valmonde saw the baby she was making remarks like, this isn't the baby and what is this. She also called the baby an it, like she didn't know who it was from. I feel she was very wrong because she know's that the baby is from Desiree and that the baby is fine. She was just judging the baby based on its color, which isn't right. She also thought like, where did the baby get the black from. Was it the mom or the dad.
As Valmonde was making her smart remarks or comments, Desiree thought that they were good. In a sense she basically thought like yea the baby is getting big and he looks just like me. I think she was very nieave because she didn't really catch what Valmonde was really trying to say. Valmonde made the whole situation even more worse because she didn't support her duaghter and help her because the baby could possibly be black. I really didn't understand that because Valmonde was her mom, and since she was her mom she should know if she's mixed or not. Thats why I said its a little secrativity going on between the characters.
When Armond finally saw the baby he thought the same as Valmonde and avoided Desiree and the baby. I guess he didn't want to affiliate with them anymore because of the fact that the baby was mixed and Desiree might be as well. I feel that wasn't the brightest thing he could have done because he wasn't there for the baby after that and didn't really care for Desiree any more. Even when Desiree showed her love for him, he still didn't be the true man he could have been. He ran away from the problem instead of talking it out with her. All to find out it was him!
In conclusion- I feel that this story really shows the true meaning of the one drop rule. Before it was kind of blank to me like, when did they ever use it and how was it applied to slaves. This story is a little repetative but was realates to romantisim. I think that because Desiree was all into herself and the baby, nothing else. It was also related to pathos because it was kind of sad that she and the baby died. But she probably felt she had no other choice. She had no support and no help, no body but the baby.

Sojornor Truth( Ain't I a Woman)
Since there was two letters, I'm going to compare and contrast there different values and dislikes. I noticed just by looking at the title of Aren't I a Woman and it to me comes across like I can be a woman and not because of my color. I noticed that In one passage, it was very proper and correctly written. But in the other, it sounded very southern and nonchalant like "I don't care what people think about me I'm telling you the truth". And that's exactly what Sojourner Truth did.
The passage in the book started out by saying that I'm a woman not because I'm black and your white but I'm a woman by taking care of all these kids and upholding duties of a man also. She also says that anytime that she can watch the white man take one of her kids away is allot of strength on her part. I think its very different how white girls think there a woman based upon their rules and guidelines but in with a black person its way off track because in their world in that time, there were very little middle class or rich blacks. Since most of the blacks were poor and lived in poverty these were their guidelines from a different point of view, the turned it into a whole entire way with their rules. Most black woman had to take care of allot of kids, work also, and carry on the duties of a man because the father left or was killed or taken.
The difference between these letters is that one is proper and one is not, true. But since they're both written by Sojourner Truth it questioned the whites. They weren't for sure if she wrote it and how and why. They made it seem like blacks or black woman in this case weren't intelligent at any stake. They felt that blacks didn't get a good education, which most didn't but there were still allot of blacks that did. It shouldn't have even been a question. I also noticed that one passage was in a book and the other one wasn't. The passage that wasn't was the one that had allot of southern accent to it and very nonchalant. I feel that the whites probably gave her credit but didn't want the other one published because maybe it told to much about the whites or maybe it would create a bad name for them.
She also attacks religions in the case of a man. She basically said what makes are rights not equal to yours or why not better. She used religion to come across in a different way that makes people really believe what she's talking about but at the same time listen. I feel right when she said that, it caused people to get her attention and people to take notice of whats going on. She asks "What did your Christ come from" as like who is your lord because the one I know and worship must be different from your if you think that my rights are not equal to yours.
In conclusion- over all I think that these passages really helped me get a better understanding of what she was really trying to say a woman. Even thought the true definition of a woman know has changed, it was changed already when she said those words. She crafted and made her own rules and true womanhood guideline. She set the standard for other woman to follow. I feel that with her nonchalant demeanor and southern accent made it very clear for me to understand the meaning not necessarily the words but the power of meaning. I feel this is related to pathos because it shows an emotional side of the older world and how they worked.

The Wiz
In the beginning she gets into a predicament to were she needs help to get back home. This movie to me seems as if it is relaying a message to the readers about different problems in their lives. In the movie, Dorthy's mom tries to explain to her that she can get a job as a high school teacher instead of working with the same group of people. She also explained that she can get paid allot more than before and get to be apart of the young adults life. She basically triesto convince Dorthy to move into her own place and start a new life on her own. What the movie is about is how Dorthy over comes her problem, how she helps others with their problems, and how she has changed after ever thing is back to normal and the same.
To me i think Dorthy over comes her problem by just simply doing things herself. She listened to what was being said to her and followed directions. After the munchkins and the good witch disappeared, i think that gave Dorthy enough strength to move on and find the yellow brick road. In other words i guess you could say it was a test because they left her to figure things out on her own which is kind of what her mother wanted her to do. It all ties in together.
After she starts following down the yellow brick road she See's these other characters in the story. The scare crow, tin man, and the lion. Together they go on an epic journey to see the Wiz. The wizard that grants wishes or fulfilment's. The scare crow wanted a Brian, the tin man wanted a heart, and the lion wanted courage. each of them had problems that needed to be solved. I thought the solution came in a sequel because once someone overcame their problems, they helped the next person which helped their problems and so on. I would compare this to string of beads pattern.
She changes allot in the movie from beginning to end. In the beginning she is stuck on one thing and that's being a elementary teacher and living at her parents house. IN the middle of the movie it shows how her maturity level has changed also. she used to be closed minded and didn't want to expand out and try new things. At the end I think she will take her moms advice and take the job to teach high school students and get a higher salary. So she can afford to buy her own place and start a life of her own.
In conclusion- if a was to relate this to the rhetoric triangle it would be ethos. I say that because all along the characters were asking question a they already had the answer too. They already had the necessary tools and what not to have a Brain, heart, and courage. Or in this case to get back home. They didn't need a sheet of paper to tell them that they already had something that already has its own acknowledgement. I give them credibility because they were unique in every way and brought out a good side in each character and in the movie.

Spontaneous Me
In the poem the author tries to emphasize and tell the readers about nature and its true value to life. The poem talks about how close romantisism and the actual individual interacts with nature, how nature compares to an actual person, and how romantisism is expressed in the text. I think the poem is a very sensual and sexual poem, that relates to the emotion of the poem.
The author talks about how the characters actions and personal feelings. I think what he did was relate the actual people to nature life. He uses alot of sexual diction to get the audiences attention but most importantly to give the poem a more adult feeling. I personally feel that with all of the sexual texts and statements that it was a little over done because it made it a little uninteresting and hard to find enough good info in the poem.
I also noticed that he was trying to tell the audience a message. The message that I feel he was trying to tell was that everything we do is involved with love and emotion. Even from work, to school, to buying a gift for someone. It all coinsides with love and emotion. Which is all in the group of romantisism. If the author tryed to make the message more clearer than it would save the audience or readers alot of time, instead of looking for every single thing in a sexually dominant poem.
At the very end of the poem, it says something that is kind of confusing. I think it talkes about the characters having a baby. If related to romantisism and nature it would kind of be like new life. The same way the two characters brought in new life, I feel thats exactly how nature and all living things were brought up. With that being said, I feel I can relate this to spontaneous generation. The time were plants and living things supposedly popped up from nowhere and started the world we call Earth.
In conclusion- I feel that this is reated to not only romantisism but logic.I feel that way because the author not only realized that he put in the poem a more adult feeling. He knew exactly what to write to direct this to young adults and adults. He was very aware of the audience and the poem was very repetative. The way that it was repetative was strange because normally the words are repeated. In this case he used different words to relay the same message over. Thats what I feel made this poem special, he was very creative and made this poem unique.

Phillis Wheatley
In the passage it talks about the life and history of Phillis Wheatley. Personally I've never heard of her and her marvelous work. The passage to me seems like it is trying to give a message to the audience or readers as a word of wisdom. The author talks about the rise of Phillis Wheatley, what she went through, and a couple of her poems. To me like all new people i learn about in English, it gives me some type of wisdom in life.
Like many others, Phyllis was a slave and went through hard times in life. I think she had a hard time to really express her literary talents. I think that the message that was trying to be brought across was that talent can come from anywhere and that at that time especially. That talent can come from any race. I think back then allot of whit people thought blacks were not bright and smart. I feel that personally is not the right way to think even though back then many people had a different mind set.
When Phyllis Wheatley got discovered by her English and literary talents. I think that the whites gave her a hard time to get her reputation started. Then to find out that after she died, her files were lost. I think someone tried to loose the files of her work on purpose because she was black and they felt that black people don't need to go farther than whites and do something that whites do. In this case there weren't many blacks that were poets and good writers. That's because whites obstructed the blacks ways of prospering or having good success.
I think that Phyllis Wheatley was back then in that time considered a real true woman Because she held up her duties as a woman. She also stayed faithful to he husband until death do they part. That also shows her determination, because she didn't have to stay faithful. From her poems and from what she's been through as a slave, i feel that she was religious because of the way her poems are written. She makes me think that she's a strong individual because no matter what she always fought the racism, and evilness that she dealt with to make her life good.
In conclusion- i think that over all the story of life of Phyllis Wheatley was ver inspirational and good to read. The passage had the poem to help give me as a reader create a mind imager about the life of her. Reading this passage makes me think back agian were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for are rights as African Americans. This passage also gave alot of wisdom to me because it tells me that no matter what don't give up and fight for your dreams.

The Decleration of Independence(Thomas Jefferson)
In this passage it first talks about the Declaration of Independence and what is was used for. In the beginning they try to portray Jefferson as a good leader and such, but in reality he wasn't. To me it seems as if he was with an alliance with other tyrants in the U.S. at that time and he went along with what they proposed they should do about the "colored problem". This passage mentions about what they took from over seas, what they used them for, and they did to them.
Since most of the Indians were dying, they needed a new source of people to help them keep there country going by force. The same thing that they did to the Indians is the same thing they did to the new group of people. So Jefferson and his people went to get African Americans from Africa since they thought that the way that the Africans live now resembles the way a poor person would live they could just take them.
After the Africans were taken they were forced to do work and hard labor for any rich or high class person that wanted a "slave". Of course Jefferson and his people didn't want to hand over slaves for free they had something set up called "the warfare of The Christian king of Great Britain. That was basically to help keep an open market were Africans can be bought or sold. They treated Africans bad, and to think of Jefferson of even being apart of that and having a slave plantation. That makes me wonder about him, and how did he even come up with the conclusion of making or help making The Declaration of Independence.
He also used the Africans as examples to show his power and authority. He deprived them of their hope, happiness, and strength. He killed Africans who despised him and rebelled and like i said used them as examples. He helped put things in the way so that Africans could never have their way and would always be slaves and nothing more. Jefferson was a tyrant which is a mad leader or ruler. He helped those who dislikes blacks always uphold the racist structure, and he payed off crimes committed by white people. Since they are a whole.
In conclusion I think that Jefferson is a person that can easily be put into a category with others like Columbus because they are portrayed as if they are very good people but in reality they aren't. They are not true to their word, and he helped corrupt the U.S. with slavery and racism. This is more like pathos because it it emotional and could be kind of an offence to people of color to just hear this is what he did. There was little diction that helped me create an image of what this was really like back them and to picture Jefferson being the new person i now know.

Hus Wifery
In the poem Edward Taylor tries to use certain items to help describe the character but at the same time to keep that old English language. The character wants to be given the supplies he needs so he can become more spiritually in tune. He wants god to mold or make him into a better more heavenly way using the materials listed. He also wants basically he whole mind set changed into a way were he can spiritually glorify the Lord.
I think this is related to the puritans because just as the puritans wanted brand new, if feel the character wants the same. The way he says he wants to be changed that is exactly what the puritans concept was. New Change. Also the different words that he uses are also plain and simple. I think the author was trying to use common or simple house hold items in the poem to symbolize the ways of the puritans and how they were.
I also feel that this poem is related to the covenant of grace. I say that because the covenant of grace basically means 100% faithful and I feel that that's what the character is. I feel that any person that wants to be more spiritually in tune with god then they are committed and faithful. I also think that the author was trying to say that people can get closer to god as long as they try hard to go as far as god wants them to go. They have to want it, and that's what the character shows.
In the poem the author uses allot of diction to help create an image of what the character really wants. In the poem it says "I am cloathd in Holy Robes for Glory". I think that that means that he basically wants to be a spiritual or godly icon because he just wants to be this new person and to just be new and fresh. With that being said he also says that with this robe I'm purified of all my sins, weaknesses, illnesses and everything else because he feels he been made strong by the lord. Not just physically but mentally as well.
In conclusion- the author made this poem surprising because he uses alot of new material that is new to me because of the way he writes and pronounces words. I feel that this is related to Logos because you have to have a clear concept of what you just read because it can be tricky in the mind. There are a lot of phrases that are a little unclear but over all the character in the poem was determind to be very religios and according to him, he did it.

The Author to Her Book
In the poem the author talks mainly about the way she lives. To me it seems she doesn't like the way she lives and the way she looks. She gets shy or embarrassed when she is in public and has a very low self esteem. Then at the end she runs away, that's not a good way to live life or to solve any of your problems.
The author implies that she doesn't like the way she looks. She said that she tries things to fix herself in the image that she wants herself to be in. I feel that she just needs to cope with life because the people that do say stuff to you or about you about the way you Look isn't important. If you don't like the way you look change it, within reason. That's unhealthy to stretch joints in your feet or any where period. Now if something happened to her from trying to do all of these personal changes to herself, she wouldn't like herself any more than what she does now.
As implied by the text. She states that she thinks she's and ill formed child that basically is ugly. I feel that she is making a little deal into a big deal with her self esteem issues. It is not healthy to not like your self to the point were you want to make changes to your self that can hurt you. I think that this female is a teenage girl because if she was older she probably would have had plastic surgery already.
At first i kind of looked over it but she also said that her mother either kicked her out the house or caused her to run away. I she was kicked out the house i feel that's the worst that you can do now especially if your daughter is feeling like she's ugly and wants to do almost any thing to correct herself. She needs the support and wisdom from her mom. They need to have good communication skills. Now if she ran away she's not doing anything to help herself because all she's doing is running away from the problem. Not looking for help, or for advice or nothing, I thing she really needs help before she hurts herself.
In conclusion- if i had to relate this to the rhetoric triangle it would be pathos because the girl is tossing her life away basically and she needs a reality check. People are going to say stuff about you all the time and its up to you to overcome what think about you because your doing what you need to do. Let them keep talking and if it gets out of hand then take it to the authorities. Its not worth it. I feel she used phrases that helped a little to piece everything together but in the end i was still left with a question unanswered.
The author implies that she doesn't like the way she looks. She said that she tries things to fix herself in the image that she wants herself to be in. I feel that she just needs to cope with life because the people that do say stuff to you or about you about the way you Look isn't important.

As implied by the text. She states that she thinks she's and ill formed child that basically is ugly. I feel that she is making a little deal into a big deal with her self esteem issues. It is not healthy to not like your self to the point were you want to make changes to your self that can hurt you. I think that this female is a teenage girl because if she was older she probably would have had plastic surgery already.
At first i kind of looked over it but she also said that her mother either kicked her out the house or caused her to run away. I she was kicked out the house i feel that's the worst that you can do now especially if your daughter is feeling like she's ugly and wants to do almost any thing to correct herself. She needs the support and wisdom from her mom. They need to have good communication skills. Now if she ran away she's not doing anything to help herself because all she's doing is running away from the problem. Not looking for help, or for advice or nothing, I thing she really needs help before she hurts herself.
In conclusion- if i had to relate this to the rhetoric triangle it would be pathos because the girl is tossing her life away basically and she needs a reality check. People are going to say stuff about you all the time and its up to you to overcome what think about you because your doing what you need to do. Let them keep talking and if it gets out of hand then take it to the authorities. Its not worth it. I feel she used phrases that helped a little to piece everything together but in the end i was still left with a question unanswered.

Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God
In the passage the author talks about the unbelieving Israelites and how they cause destruction in the world of religion. He adds in information about the power of the Israelites, destruction and fall, and the path of them. I feel he was really trying to relay the message by repeating things over and over in the passage. That made it confusing in the beginning but after reading every thing else I saw the purpose of doing that.
He talked about how the Israelites are going to fall and they're going to be punished. He said that once they slipped and fell, God wouldn't help them up. I feel in a sense that is reasonable to agree with but I still feel unsure about it. Depending on what they did, that's when I feel they should be punished. God always forgives us of are sins, so if God does that then why did he say that God is or can send them to hell.
In the passage it said that the Israelites were basically born into a life of failure and destruction. I feel that the Israelites are just put in a bad category and are miss understood. In the passage he doesn't tell the audience what exactly they did or what they are going to do in the text. Maybe the Israelites should move away from all of the negativity and anger or hatred against them. That would satisfy them and any one who hates them.
The one thing that i found in the text that the author might be talking about is power. What i mean by that is how can people take the life of something instantly and not even realize that your challenging Gods power. Just as you can make decisions, God can make them quicker to take a life or send someone to hell. I felt it was ironic that people do that to just cause havoc and at the same time God could do the same.
In conclusion- the author uses a lot of diction to help us visualize as an audience of the clear message. This passage is like pathos because its emotional in a way that's still religious. I think that the Israelites aren't really given a chance to redeem themselves that they aren't just failures and destructive people. Many of the phrases that he used helped complete the meaning behind this passage.
