Annoying Ways People Use Sources Summary
Prepare your reader for a quote by building up to it. Then parenthesize where your quotation came from. We should never start or end a paragraph with a quote. Always be clear to stay on topic, when writing, and give facts. Writings should have a comfortable flow. You should guide your readers thoughts as to what you want to convey. Use [ ] to show that you advised something in the quotation and add your advised words where it relates in the quote. This will have a positive effect on your readers. Always use current sources, old studies or research may not be "so" for the present time.
When citing, include the authors name on your citation page and alphabetize by authors last name. Cite entries in your text should always match the entry on the citation page.
Proof read your work. If possible, read it to someone. If it doesn't have flow or make sense, make the necessary changes.

Summary/Body in Trouble
The writer uses logos throughout her story as she is confined to a wheelchair but claims she doesn't feel confined because she is able to write about how she feels or escape writing a story. Her body is disfigured and she is slowly losing her ability to move. People seem to not know how to take to her because of her appearance. She feels being a woman confined to a wheelchair is a kind of "double jeopardy". The metaphors she used in her story, she sort of joked about in a "back handed" way (pathos) but it seemed like she felt she had no choice but to accept as she says "I embody the metaphors" but she feels complete when she writes. She feels useful writing the soup menu for the church, she found a way to be part of no matter how society feels.

Summary/ How to tame a wild tongue
I felt the righter was very persuasive in getting her message across as to how she felt. She used a multitude of examples to prove her point.
In the beginning of the story she uses a form of pathos when talking about the dentist wanting to do something with her tongue, in a sort of joking manner, because it keeps geetting in his way.
The rest of her story seemed to be logos because it reached my heart in a sad way. She told us how,as a child, she was hit with the sharp edge of the ruler for not always speaking English in school. So she could not speak the way she naturally spoke. This carried over into her adult life with the people around her speaking so many forms of the Spanish language. It seemed to be a challenge to fit in just about everywhere she went. Attacking her native tongue she found to be an attack on her self esteem.
She stated until she can take pride in her language she cannot take pride in herself. Your language identifies who you are. I liked how she could get comfort from listening to the Mexican music but it disappointed me when she felt shame when she would get caught. We don't realize how society is affecting individuals unless you are that person.
The use of Ethos was fa nominal. She used quotes from righters Ray Gwyn Smith, Irena Klepfisz, John R Chavez, Hortencia S Alwan, Eduardo Hernandez-Chavez, Andrew D Cohen, Anthony F Beltramo. Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz, and Rodolfo Gonzales. Musicans Estiban Jordan, Jose Maria de Leon Hernadez,and Leonado Jimenez. Revolutionary leader Dorateo Arango. An American psychologist Gershen Kaufman. And many periods in history, Mexican sayings, as well as notations of regional area.

The article "If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?" I found to be completely persuasive to any open minded adult reader as that's who I believe to be the intended audience. It states "language identifies you or who you are" and then gives many facts about how.
The writer uses Logos throughout the article stating how people everywhere adapt language to there circumstances. We pick up the style of language spoke by the people we're surrounded by in order to communicate.
The Pathos opened my minds eye when I read the part about the black islanders coming from different tribes and not being able to talk to each other while the were chain together. How sad is that? And how the white Americans, at that time, never had any interest in teaching them our language. Or how a child cannot be taught to be someone he's not. Black English is the creation of the black diaspora.
The author uses a quote by Toni Morrison, examples of the Beat Generation and the Jazz Age to prove Ethos. In addition he also uses American history.

Malcolm X; Prison Stories
The writer was displaying Logos when he wrote about how Malcolm was frustrated with his lack of knowledge and how he taught himself by learning the dictionary page by page. And how Malcolm was as smart as a college graduate when he was finished but had actually only attended school through the eighth grade. By reading he was able to escape into a story in his imagination and be free. He may have been saying that with an education one can accomplish almost anything. He compared how staying up reading at night left him with 3 or 4 hours of sleep but out on the street he slept less.
When I read about him calling his Alma mater "Books" I thought it to be a form of Pathos because it came across as somewhat humorous, but literal, because that's soulfully how he got educated.
An example of Ethos would be Malcolm's accomplished life as a religious activist, civil rights leader as well as a prominent figure in the African-American Muslim community. Also I'd have to give the writer a lack of Ethos because he says Malcolm X lived 1925-1965 then says he was assassinated in 1963. How can you live two more years after being assassinated? Don't you die when your assassinated? Over all it was a quite an inspiring story.
