Class on November 11th

I thought it was very interesting how the man discussed the history of the camera. It is so strange to think about when we were never able to take pictures and record the times in our lives. It made me take a lot of the stuff I have for granted. It was surprising that a man who was using one of the first cameras got asthma. Now all people have to do is press a button and a picture is taken. Many people enjoy a "candid" picture which means it is taken when one is unaware. People look a lot different opposed to a "posing" picture. This essay is argumentative because it talks about the history of the camera. Digital cameras today depend on batteries. The author uses lots of logos to get us to be interested. The "unchanging spouse" suggests that there is certain stubbornness. When having a camera, the purpose of it is to capture pictures that will be remembered forever, such as the concentration camps. Another reason why people have cameras is to have factual evidence that something occurred. Today in class, we also identified what our topics were going to be for our argumentative essays that are due Monday after Thanksgiving and need to be three to five pages. I am going to start writing it before we go on break so that I will not need to cram. It needs to be based on pathos, ethos, or logos and needs to be directed at adults from our age to anyone who is older. Some of the topics we could write about were parking, the war in Afghanistan, and Healthcare. I think I am going to write about abortion because the topic has so many ways one could look at it. The essay needs to have two sources and will hopefully be an easier paper to write.
