Huckleberry Finn

Huck Fenn really to me focus on the aspect of how to determine whats morally right and whats morally wrong. In the book Huck Finn grows up in the south during the era of slavery and pre-civil war. He is a really bright young boy who precieves the world in a unique way. His father is unstabled and Huck Finn really doesnt like him. So he decides one day to run away to an island right og the coast, which he does successful. Hes fathers dies and he lives on the island. One day he discovers Jim a slave for one of his fellow community member. They decidet to stick together and try to make it to the North. Along the way they face many tials and tribulations including them trying to figure out the morality of their situations. Its just a big adventure for an unlikely pair of people from very different worlds.

Sicko The Movie

Wow this movie was really eye opening to watch. I always thought that if you had health care you were really blessed, because many people dont. I never knew that in order to recieve your rightfully owed healthcare you would have to pass so many trials. It seems like insurance companies try to do everything to prove you dont necessarly need the money your asking for ,but still want to take your money. What happen to America the land of the free and each citizens will be treated with respect? Why does it seems like the world revovles around how much money you can make by taking from hard working citizens? Now even with healthcare you still are treated as if you dont have it. I really hope that Obama and the future presidents improve this situation and make it fair and honest for all. Its really sad to watch someone you love suffer and die because you thought you were secured with healthcare but turns out you were wrong. How can they be so insensitive to the lives lost that were denied payment ,and the companies knowing they needed the operation,but are to cheap and shelfish to finance it. I really hope that this cycle will end and healthcare will approve and become avaliable to all the citizens in america!

Campagain Commercial

Johnny Isakson whos running for georgia state senate was more focused on explaing what he could help do when elected in the state senate, which is really good that he built him self up rather than tear other people down. He used the rhetoric form of logos when referring to how many years he has been in some form of politics which conveys the listener to belive he knows what hes doing. He used ethos to reach the unemployed people by first stating he will try to improve the job market and find work for those who need it.
He used repetiton because he kept repeating his name and refering to himself to be in the senate.
