Ethos: Character of the speaker. (Do they know what they're talking about?) Pathos: Passion of the speaker. (Do they care about what they're talking about?) Logos: Logic. (Do they make sense?)

What we did in the past 2 days did NOT help me learn and it did not help me become more creative for the following reason: as a class, we did NOTHING.

Notes: - These songs WERE made "by" Paul Simon. - Music CAN be described as literature and in a way, it is even more than just literature. - Maybe Paul Simon went to Africa just to get into the vibe of the culture. - Paul Simon was trying to make his genre more relevant. - "Graceland" is Elvis' house. Can we consider music to be literature? - Yes we can consider music to be literature. What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?  -The difference between all these is that theyall say a story just in a different form with either instruments or voices or a paper and pencil.

1. The reason the the story is really short is why it interested me. 2. The plot of the story is that a man is tired of human beings and just wants to enjoy the night under a maple tree. 3. The theme is the love for night. 4. After reading the story, it gave me a feeling of wanting to sit under a tree and enjoy the night fall. 5. Yes, I would recommend this story because it's very short and very good. So good that it leaves you thinking about the night.

1. The thing that made me be interested in reading this story was that it is feminist literature. 2. A lady has heart trouble and has to be told carefully about her husband's death. Her sister tells her and she ends up getting a heart attack. 3. The theme of the story can be freedom. 4. After reading it, I honestly thought it was boring. I was falling asleep while reading it. 5. No, I would not recommend this story because I just didn't find the spark that I was looking for and I don't think anybody will.

1. The thing that attracted me to the story was that it is in New Years Eve. 2. The plot is about a little girl who sets out to sell matches on New Years Eve but doesn't sell any. She gets very cold because she lost her mom's slippers that she was wearing and she became barefoot. She ends up in a corner lighting matches to "keep on seeing" her dead grandma but then she basically burned herself to death with all the lit matches. 3. The theme is to be charitable. 4. After reading the story... I thought about how her "grandma" was most likely an evil spirit which made her kill herself. 5. Yes, I would recommend this story because it is very interesting.

The things that I hope to accomplish by June of 2018 is simply to have learned a lot more about Mechanical Engineering. I want my knowledge and IQ to be really high so I can be prepared for whatever comes next.

My next step toward my Big Question is very simple. It will just be to learn. I will learn from the Internet by searching up videos on YouTube about Mechanical Engineering.

The benefit of learning about Mechanical Engineering is that it will determine my future salary and how I will live my life. It will also benefit the world by having another Mechanical Engineer to do the job others won't know how to do.
