Jackie



Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson embodies the romanticism by going against the law by trying out for an all-white baseball team where they say no blacks allowed. Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play major league baseball. He had a batting average off .311. Back in John Muir High School and Pasadena Junior College Jackie was an excellent athlete. He played four sports: football, basketball, track, and baseball. He was named the region's Most Valuable Player in baseball in 1938.
Jackie graduated high school then attended at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he became the university's first student to win varsity letters in four sports. Then he was forced to leave the school due to financial aid, moving to Hawaii playing football but he really couldn’t finish because of WW II. He also joined the army becoming 2nd lieutenant. After his discharge at 1944, he began playing professional baseball during the period where the white’s and the colored played in separate leagues.
Robinson began playing in the Negro Leagues, but he was presently chosen by Branch Rickey president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, to help integrate major league baseball. Jackie played with the Montreal Royals a farm team for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946. During his games he would be threatened or his family would have been too because they despised having a black man playing for an all - white team. Even his team hated that he played but Jackie continued working hard and playing. Robinson had an outstanding start with the Royals, leading the International League with a .349 batting average and .985 fielding percentage.
That’s when Jackie got promoted to play for the dodger in 1947 that when he actually became the 1st African American to play in the league. See Jackie Robinson Embodies the trandscenestalism era way to pushing his limits and working hard in all areas ignoring others' and reaching his dreams

Day 5 Virtue : Silence

Day 4 Virtue : Silence

See my day started off pretty rough by waking up late, and being overweight before weigh-ins and etc. So Waking up at 5:00 I go sprinting for about 30 minutes , literally 30 minutes then coming back home I decide to take a sip of water knowing I’m not supposed to but I couldn’t help it because I was so dehydrated drank it and fell fast asleep . BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ! Its 6:30 bus leaves at 7:00, I call pj he sound like he just woke up and I told him we were going to be late. So he woke up got ready and told his aunt to drop us off , when we arrived our destination the locker room I weighed in I was about .2 over and pj was 1 pound . So Pj and I jogged in the locker room trying to sweat those pounds off. finally 7:00 come pj made weight and I did too , We begin the tournament pretty decent I’m winning haven’t lost a match yet suddenly it came down to my fourth one , the guy I was wrestling was aggressive and rude . Every time we'd go out of bounds and id try to help him up he'd slap my hand away , so while we were resetting the guy slaps me I was about to blow then coach grabbed me and said " Ragae relax wrestling your match and win ". So I did and I pinned the guy on his neck. See If I had retaliated back I would have lost the match because of disqualification of un-sportsman like conduct and wouldn't have left them tournament undefeated 5-0.

Day 3 Virtue : Silence


Monday 12 2012 as any ordinary Monday kids are dragging themselves like mindless zombies. Well for myself a conservative teenager with a smile on his face. Well my day didn’t begin that good; I missed the bus, paced to the hell hole called South Cobb high school where mindless zombies are dumber than a rock, missed homeroom and as 40 min late to 1st block walking in class taking an exam. So first block ends I walked to 2nd block upstairs seeing the typical Mexicans making out, basketball players conversing and freshman just being freshmen. Well before I reached my 2nd block the administrator Coach Stine tugs me aside and tells me to come into his office. With a lost expression on my face I go and I see one of my peers Corey in their looking sad. Entering his hallway he starts talking about me throwing this at this girls head and I just kept my cool and didn’t argue cause I didn’t need too , because I didn’t throw it and I kept telling him no sir I didn’t and he finally notice I was telling the truth and let me go.

Logos

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an effective, persuasive reason to back up your claims. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. We'll study the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical fallacies, in order to avoid them in your writing.
by using logos they would come to the conclusion of, "Well if I use this makeup that Taylor Swift uses I will have beautiful flawless skin like her and I can look and feel like a superstar like she is!"

Pathos

Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument.
This Picture Describes Pathos because , It showes a lil girl injured and the slogan say," In Town, Car Accidents Dont Happen To Cars. Stating that children could get injured to so its best to drive say and slow.

Ethos

Ethos : is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence its hearer's emotions, behaviors, and even morals.


This picture is ethos because; it’s encouraging the community to purchase vitamin water. Vitamin water has recently used one of the world top athletes, Kobe Bryant in order to help probe that their product really works. Kobe’s muscular physique and physical activity proves to the viewer that Vitamin Water is healthy enough to keep such an athlete in great physical shape.  Along with their reputation, Vitamin Water makes sure that viewers know both their logo and slogans used in this powerful advertisement.
