I like this blogging assignment because it introduces my daughter to blogging which, from the looks of it, will be very important in college or the future. With todays vast technological expanssion it is important for our children to keep up. Technology is a beautiful thing that keeps us connected to the world around us. Now a days we can know of news from half way across the globe with the simple drag and click of a mouse. Its truly amazing because only a few years ago we were completly disconnected from the world or the news would take forever to get to us. I am very happy that my daughter has this opportunity to learn how to use the internet to its full potential.

The purpose of this blog is to inform the reader of real life events without the censoring that news stations have. He comments on the war in Iraq from the point of view if a real person in Iraq. His purpose is to present the truth. Andrew Sullivan in, my opinion, in credible because he seems to kno what he is talking so passionatly about however, the blog does not present any information on weather he has actually been overseas to see the real conditions. Sullivan created this blog to present updated information on the war in Iraq so that people who are interested on family members conditions and who dont like what is going on overseas. He uses graphic images and bold statement making grapics and billbords to express his feelings and the "true" state of the current Iraqi War.

Response to August Blog #1
Mitt Romney's campaign ad is a vibrant example of how ethos, pathos and symbols create an effective campaing ad by appealing to our emotions and Romney's credibility. A great example of the aristotelian appeal, pathos, is when he states "Laws should be created by the people", its sayying that he believes that we should have and feel the real freedom america is known for. When he says he believes that "People are the strength of America", it makes us, people of America, feel as though we are the most important part of such an enormous and powerful counrty.
Secondly, Mitt Romney's campiagn also uses the arristotilian appeal of ethos. By using ethos it shows his credibility. His wife states that "He has sloved problems that some people thaught were impossible", signifying how important he is almost God like. The way the camera angle is pointed up towards him is as though we are looking up to him as a person and much more as a president. The music is majestic like making the people feel hopeful in him and makeing hi appear powerful.
Lastly Romney's ad is lush with hidden sybols that persuade us into voting for him in the future. The photograph where he is standing tall under the executive sign signifies what he can become and what he's capable of becoming. The Amercan flag in the background signifies his patriotism and all he wants to do for this country. Finally, the magazine covers show that he is well known and can be trusted by the nation.
