Notes from Today's lecture

Today we discuss about how ethos, pathos and logos in the famous speech called, 'I have a dream' by Martin Luther King JR. 

Ethos- the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations.

Pathos- a quality that evokes pity or sadness.

Logos- statement, sentence, or argument used to convince or persuade the targeted audience by employing reason or logic

When MLK gives his speech he uses pathos when he was talking about the history of African Americans when they were slaves back in the colonial days since those were harsh days for African Americans. 

The way he uses ethos is by using the word the racial word that starts with in 'n' this was a hateful word used by white people to called African Americans during colonial times


since MLK is a man of color he made the speech for colors equality.
When he talk about the death of African Americans you were able to hear people scream since they were affected. He used Pathos.

ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 3


  • Emerson felt offended that he couldn't be himself
  • Vanity- a desire to look good and Malice- desire to do evil
  • "Don't act that your good, when you are not"
  • Emerson doesn't like people do things just to present themselves as good
  • Virtues- behavior showing high moral standards.
  • "I don't need someone to give me a pat in the back just because I did my own job"
  • "For non conformity the world whips you with its displeasure"
  • I've agree with the sentence above since in our world, if you don't  follow along as everyone in the program has then you are going to get disapprove and negative.

Let me walk you though the pedestrian

We have live in a time where now technology has taken over people's lives, like it has gotten so bad to the point there is a phobia called Nomophobia, which the fear of being away from your phone. A man name Ray Bradbury has predicated this in his short story called, "The Pedestrian."

"The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is about  him going on a walk on the street of Los Angles at night and a police officer stops him due to the fact that it was unusual that someone walks at night in the street of Los Angles. Also his feelings about how humanity has become so distant to each other, technology that it has been...and lastly how he questions the way the authority uses their powers.

The tone for the story, "The Pedestrian" is portrayed in a natural and low. The reason why I assume his tone is natural and low is due to the fact of reading the story, when the author describes his taught when he walks the street

The characters in the story are quite simple, its the author himself, a police officer and society itself.


We are at the end of this little essay I've typed up, now we can see that "The Pedestrian" story was a little telling of what is going to happen in the future of society on how distant we are to each other by technology.
