Decent Essays
The woke ethos is opposite of cool, but it a new trend in modern world. Woke became popular and widely know due to the Trayvon Martin case and the rise of Black Lives Matter. The woke talk social issue and politics more, people with woke have strong emotion, like to share their ideas. Compare with cool, woke is normal, close to citizen daily life. To be woke need to be passionate to join public or political issue like BLM. In my own opinion, woke is different of cool, it more like cooperate with others to solve public, society problems. The woke ethos still a good trend because it help more people to realize when some unjustly things happen, we can go street to protest, use our own right to protect

    “The American Dream” is a newspaper article written by Don Baer and Mark Penn from The Atlantic, claiming that contrary to what news agencies are reporting, the American Dream is thriving. Their claim is supported with a variety of evidence, gathered from both the Penn Schoen Berland Poll and the Gallup Poll; as well as through their use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to justify and further advance their claim throughout the text. The authors’ use of Ethos was made effective by their use of the Penn Schoen Berland Poll and the Gallup Poll to compare and contrast the feelings of Americans across the nation; as well as their expression of both beliefs (Republican and Democratic values). For example, the authors cite the Penn Schoen Berland Poll of 2,000 people to show that 82% of African Americans believe that they are living the…

    In this passage, Edna hears the voices of her sister, Margaret, and her father. She also heard the sound of a chained up dog barking, the “spurs” of a police officer, and nature, specifically the humming of the bees. The relationship between the makers/sources of these sounds, such as the “sycamore tree,”and the “musky odor,” and the direction in which she gazes, brings memories of home and humble times to Edna’s mind. By appealing to her senses, the sounds warm her heart and it is evident that as Edna is looking into the distance, she realizes she will miss these sounds, rather than just recalling them as “terror[s].” Imagery 4:…

There is a lot of reasons, why this is so problematic, first there are hundreds of different religions out there, and not every one has the same values or have the same rules. So, you would not know which book to follow or how to interpret it. Second, Do you read it literally or try to understand what is the meaning behind it. A good example, would be the second amendment, if you look at it literally, it talks about how there should be militias in the streets protecting the “American…
