I think the video was the most effective and definitely kept my attention the most. The fast moving images made me want to keep watching and was a much more interesting way to present an aspect of rhetoric. After watching the video in class, I wish I would have picked a video instead of the post secret option. I would have still used the same ideas I used for post secret, but using a video would have been much more effective.

Favorite Song

I don't have one song that I can call my favorite, but the one artist that means a lot to me is the Dave Matthews Band. My dad took me to my first DMB concert my 8th grade year and listening to their music will always remind me of him. Since my dad is basically my best friend, having a specific band that I can listen to that will always makes me think of him really means a lot.

Egos, Logos, Pathos

All three forms of rhetoric, in my opinion, play an equal role while presenting an argument. One providing only a single form would never keep my attention. Personally I find logos most useful because I am the type of person who noticed facts in what I am reading right away. I will believe facts over emotion.

Hitchhiking

My parents traveled around the world before I was born and hitchhiking was something they were able to do daily. But times have changed and I definitely believe that it has become very dangerous. I would never be comfortable picking up a random person and if I was in need for a ride, I would never consider hitchhiking. There are a lot of messed up people out there and I'm not willing to risk my safety to give a ride or receive one from Mr. random.
