= =  ** Ring in Bible ** When I view this picture, I have a feeling of security and love. The never-ending circle of the ring in the center of the Bible makes me feel that this safety will never stop as long as everything is focused on God. I get a feeling of love from the shadow of the ring in the shape of a heart. Since the shadow is from the endless circle, this gives me a feeling of never-ending love. The focal point of this photo is the ring. It is the center of the picture with two diagonal lines leading up to it from the shadow of the ring. These lines tell of a journey that everyone has to go down a path to work up to love that will last. The circle ring can also tell how this path will never end. These lines pointing up to the endless circle of the ring tell the viewer that above all, love never ends and is most important beside God which his word is surrounding the concept of love. The dim lighting makes me feel calm and safe. The lines of words are horizontal giving a calm feeling. The lines are consistent and point to the never ending circle of love and security. Since I was brought up in a church and my family has always taken the symbolism of a wedding ring seriously, seeing the Bible with the ring makes me feel that if love if surrounded by God, it will last. = = = = =___=

 * **What is the purpose of the speech? Provide a brief statement of context. **
 * In //Remember the Titans//, the movie focused on the controversy between blacks and whites. In Coach Boone’s speech, he is telling his players that the fight between blacks and whites has been going on for years and it will not stop until someone stands up to issue and stops it. He tells the players that they need to take a “lesson from the dead” and if his team consisting of blacks and whites doesn’t come together they will too be destroyed.
 * **Who is the audience? **
 * Coach Boone is giving his speech to his players, both black and white, of the football team
 * **Which appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) is most prevalent? How do you know? **
 * Pathos because he is referring back to the battle of Gettysburg. He deeply describes what the soldiers went through and the pain they and their families felt. He talks about how the battle personally affected himself. He concludes by saying what will happen if they, as black and whites, don’t come together as a team what will happen to them, fail just like the soldiers of the battle did.
 * **Is the argument effective? Were any logical fallacies used? **
 * Yes, the argument was very affective. The team came together as one and throughout the movie, Julius, a black guy, and Gerry, a white guy, became best friends. No fallacies were used.
 * **How could the argument have been strengthened? **
 * Coach Boone, in giving his speech, could have included situations that the players previously went through and told them how they should have handled it. Also, telling how the past situations have weakened not only the team but how it is hurting the coaches and everyone around them.

The SNL skit was directly aimed at attacking President Obama. Before he was elected he promised all sort of change and since his reign he has accomplished nothing. SNL is releasing this information to show he so-called “change” has not been achieved yet. The skit had an actor who resembled Obama to represent the president. The actor came out and said everything he had promised to do while in office then admits to not doing anything. We elect officials for change and hoping society will be better. This skit shows that he has done nothing to better our society and we, as a whole, elected the wrong executive.
