"Jeremy" by Pearl Jam

Critics say that the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam had a negative effect in the school systems of today. This song was taken off of MTV because is was said to encourage school shootings and suicidal thoughts. Pearl Jam is not condoning murder/suicide but actually saying not to do it. It does not change the world and wont be remembered. The speaker uses antecedent and consequence to say that because people made fun of him and his parent didnt care that pushed him over the edge. For example."Daddy didt give attention to the fact that mommy didnt care." He is trying to convince the audience to have sympathy for Jeremy. This song evaluates what goes on in the real world and things that can push people to break. The speaker says. "Clearly I remember pickin on the boy seemed a harmlessl little ****." This quote establishes credibility to the fact that people picking on Jeremy turned him against them.

Reflecting on V for Vendetta.....

My rhetorical analysis for V for Vendetta was very choppy. I wrote more on thoughts and did not revise them and I also repeated myself throughout the paper. I don't think I wrote as well as I should have. My weakness is that I think about things as they are and only on the surface. I do not dig into things because I guess I am to lazy or carefree about them. My strengths however are that I like to write certain types of papers and I think that I have an organized way of writing. I can improve on this by doing it repeatedly and by really thinking about what it is I am tring to find out.

How can I tell is someone is intellegent?....

I can tell if someone is intellegent by the way they talk and the way they present themself. Normally when a person is smart they talk and make sense and you usually don't know what the are talking about. They use alot of big words and they are dressed very profressional. Some cases that I see most in life are that they often times don't have alot to say but are very intellegent. When I picture a smart person i see someone wearing glasses a breifcase and a mustache that has a accent. Although I know that is just an image. Also I think that when you see a person reading a book all the time they are usually smart.

Knowledge Truth and Beliefs.....

The difference between knowledge truth and belief is all an opinion of your own. I think that knowledge you obtain from your teachers and your parents. Mostly the people you get your moral values from. Beliefs are all from knowledge that you get from different sources that you believe or not. Your beliefs are also an opinion of your own. People most of the time have different thoughts about what they believe. Truth is a proven fact. Whether you believe that fact or not is up to you. Truth is not always right and cannot always be proven. You really never know what really is the truth. Somtimes we do believe lies and we do believe truth but we do not know the difference.
