response to group D's prompt

One song that means a lot to me is "Get Up Stand Up" by Bob Marley partly because he is my favorite artist, but mostly because the lyrics inspire me. "Stand up for your rights" and "don't give up the fight" are specific lyrics that make me imagine standing up for what you believe in and to never back down or get discouraged. The song talks about how most people think they can rely on someone else to take care of their problems and eventually there will be a solution, but the point is to take action for yourself. When I listen to it, I feel the urge to be the best person I can be and put my skills to use wherever I can.

Group C response

I think the most effective form of rhetoric is pathos because it really connects with the reader. The emotional aspect is the most important to most readers so having a strong pathos aspect in your writing can really help persuade people. Jon Krakauer seems to rely on pathos the most just because he wants the reader to be on Chris' side. The emotion he puts into his writing makes you want to believe that Chris is a good smart kid that was not crazy. The way Krakauer tells McCandless' story make me wish he wouldn't have died.
