#10 self-generated 

Merry Christmas everyone! I really hope that no one went out to that scary crowd of black fridays shoppers. Christmas is a little outrageous this year, I feel like it came too fast. Between bills and christmas shopping, I think I would rather be a kid again waiting for Santa, There isn't much to time left and I accidently said it outloud what I was getting my mom thinking she was in the shower. That puts me back at square one, hopefully I figure it out soon. On the bright side, I get to see all my family, I can't wait for all the food!!! Best part about the Holidays! Enjoy Yours! Goodnight.

#9 Media Synthesis
As the class comes to end, I do now understand the difference between media and meduim, meaning something that conveys a message. I chose the Bible as a medium because for many decades the Bible is the one book among many cultures that can be referred back to the way of life. For example, the way that the Bible is percieved by one individual could be different from someone else. I did my paper mostly on homosexaulity because there is more than one issue there, People use the Bible now to Justify their actions, and it could be in good or some bad ways. Now recently, the LGBT communities have been rising, and there is nothing wrong with that. What I do find wrong is how people are being treated because of their secaul orentation, vs. being judged for being a human being! Politicians have stepped in, this debate is no longer 200 years ago. The time is now, the Bible is being used in corrupt ways to justify people's actions. As a student, I've learned many new things about the Bible, and statistically how it effects people. As a began the transition into this paper I had to be completely ready for anything, so I cleared my mind. Allowing room to view others perspectives has let me gain knowlegde of ways that the Bible can be used for good, and when it's being imorally used. I hope to post my paper on here, so you all can read it too. Thanks! Stay tuned! -Susie :)

#8 Home-made Pizza 
Today was a great day! Although it was a chilly day, it felt good to be home with family. My sister Alejandra is actually studying culinary arts but never cooks for us, which is a little funny to me. We come from a very hispanic background, but love italian food so much! We eat so much pasta! Bread!!!!! All types of bread, Italian to sourdough to fully seeded, bread is the best with butter. We've mastered how to make a spicy italian pasta, life is great! Today was a great day because for the first time we made a homemade pizza, we tried years ago with my uncle David but didn't turn out so great. My youngest sister actually made the Pizza, but not the crust, she did a wonderful job. So I thought I could share some easy do it yourself recipes to try at home! :)

#7 Dumb Men 

This website is great! (http://www.dumbmen.com/) Actually I expected this website to be about shaming guys, but seems to be very different. This website is commically in many ways, such as relating to many things we've seen men in our life do, which is hitting right on with ethos in the rhetorical triangle. From watching the videos it seems like just another good time but there is more here, there is lots of deeper meaning to these postings. The purpose of the websiste is to open viewers eyes about the shaming of men in advertisment. This website sets out to expose all the stereotypes in these commercials, like for example in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBF-Nq54SPE#action=share, the man loves the cereal and wants to keep contiuing to eat after his neighbor convinces him he can do anything he likes and then his wife comes out, so he's scared of what he's just said. This website is very interesting and it allowers viwers to gain perspective. Perspective on what our minds are picking up without realizing it. The message in this video that I gain is that women are mean in getting their way. The man was scared of his wife because she ended up right behind him. The bigger message is that men are viewed as having women characteristics based on the fact that they listen to women, Very contradicting! The audience could be men who feel that advertisment is sexist. There is strong rhetoric here, and it begins with the Title of this website, which is "Dumb Men", the website hits all three sides of the rhetorical triangle.
