Art

This picture is from an anime (Animated TV show) called Tsubasa Chronicles in Japan. Unfortunately I don't know who the author of the picture is, however the director who made the anime is Itsuro Kawasaki. The audience is 16 to 25 year old people in Japan, and the purpose is to get people interested in the show.
This picture shows a lot of pathos and logos because of how the art is shown. It shows pathos because Art is an fun to look at and often inspires much emotion in people. Many people enjoy looking at art. In my opinion the add is showing logos in an abstract sort of why. What I mean is that the characters in the picture looks excited and happy, so logically if you were to watch the show you would have a great time as well. I did not see much ethos in this picture, however a little bit does exist.
Overall this add is meant for people who are into anime or Japanese animation in Japan. Both boys and girls watch this anime including people in western countries such as people like me! I is a very fun anime to watch I would recommend that anyone who is new to anime or has watched a lot of anime should watch this one. The anime itself is a very good title. It has concepts and ideas in it that most normal shows don't have. It is very good and entertaining to watch.

Shitty First Drafts

This morning I read Anne Lamott's essay called "Shitty First Drafts". It made me think about what kind of writing style I have. She argued that almost everyone’s first draft to an essay is not that good. I would have to agree with her because the first drafts of my essays are never that good. I often revise my essays multiple times, but the overall process never takes to long. I begin by typing out the first draft on a computer. I then read it a few times on the computer screen and revise it as needed. For the second part the revision process I print out the essay and read through it. It is at this point that I make the majority of changes to my writing. I repeat the second step as needed until I am ready to print out my final draft.
To me this writing process mainly applies to creating essays. Bogging on the internet is different from writing essays because reading a blog is far more personal than reading something from a textbook. I feel that a blog does need to be revised a little bit, but not as much as an essay. Due to the personal feel of blogs a simple spell check is all I feel a short rant should get. This is because blogs are meant to briefly talk about things that are going on in ones life, and are not official because they are not going to be published or anything. However, if I were to post an entire essay online I would do the revising that I previously stated.
