In Class: I'm Missing Some Logos
Alright so I'm reading the Logos chapter last night and excitement it's only 22 pages! I love easy reads, they make me interested in the topic material. Gosh that makes me sound so flippin' lazy. I'm not! I swear! I just really hate when writers becoem really verbose and can't find their point amongst all the pointless ramblings.
Anyways, so here I am reading and I swear I can't understand/connect with the first half of the chapter! The Stats and polls and itnerviews, all of this stuff is just not clicking with me. Now whether or not this was because it was freakin' late at night because it was, I can't seem to sleep at a decent hour anymore, or what I just didn't understand. Or I udnerstood but it definitely took my brain a bit of time to process it all.
Because honestly, you're like "Just the facts, Ma'am" and you understand Logos. There isn't any way to nt understand logos! We alll grew up having to tell our moms what happened whenever the vase broke. It was facts to help save our skins for our argument. Who knew we'd be such good argumentors...not a word but now it is...when we were little?
So yeah, I'm trying to really figure out as to why I couldn't just connect with the first pater of the ...part of the chapter. I know why I could connect with the second half of the chapter starting on page 93 because I think it was more natural to me. The first part of the chapter, here we go, wasn't as natural to come by. I mean interviews and editorials are arguments of logos, right? Well, I just hadn't thought of them that way I guess! Now I get it...wow, apparently I need to get more sleep.
The common sense part as wel as the precedents and analogies and all that jazz definitely worked/clicked with my brain. I was an amazing SAT taker when it came to the math common sense part. That and analogies are my fave, total nerd , I know.
So yeah, how about those claim and support and facts and stuf? Ok so I was never a big law person either. I love NCIS, CSI and all those kidns of shows but not for the scientific part or whatever but because it's like a big puzzle and you have to figure it out before they do, the people on t.v., or else you lose and have to do all the chores for you sister this coming weekend. But I guess I never really thought that even as a puzzle it's an argument. An argument of facts on trying to place the proper blame on the proper target.
Well, now that I'm gald I have this free write to actually figure out what the heck the first part of the chapter was talking about...I feel so much more intelligent.
