Things I will change and my favorite movies evah!
Three things I will change about my RA!
-bring the audience into each paragraph sooner
-think of the values of the audience and why these things are important to them specifically while analyzing
-cut out unnecessary words, phrases and sentences.
Best movies evah!
Courageous (It's new, its beautiful, go watch it.)
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie (Yes, you read that right.)
Transformers movies (not so much the second one)
Live Free or Die Hard (Why are all the other DIe Hard's rated R? And still not as cool)
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol (BEST MI of all)
Keith (girly movie)
Star Dust (SO GOOD.)
Princess Bride (a favorite of most mormons I've noticed haha)
Predicted Favorites:
HUNGER GAMES
THE AVENGERS
MAZE RUNNER
ENDERS GAME
okay so most of those are books.. but they will be just as awesome in movie form!!

I love you like a love song babeh! Dangit.. now that song's stuck in my head..
Warning! Spoiler Alert! If you have not read The Hunger Games, DO NOT READ further. Thanks. :)
1. Our love is like that movie... What's it called? Oh yeah, The Never Ending Story. Cuz it never ends..
2. I fell for you as hard as a guy on top of a ladder who just had a seizure.
3. I was so nervous my hands were shaking like Shakira's booty in that one music video :(
4. Our love is like a romatic movie, but not lamesauce ones like Another Cinderella Story or Twilight. Yeah, not those, those are lame.
5. I wanna hold you as tight as Katniss held on to her life when she dropped the tracker jackers nest on the Careers in attempts to kill them and got seriously injured herself but made it out alive and found Peeta and they won the Hunger Games together. Oh you haven't read it yet? :o Sorry.
Just thought I'd share this wonderfully hilarious picture that floats around pinterest. Yay for similies!

To whom it may concern: Dearest Mother, Yo Peeps!
To whom it may concern:
Let me begin with my sincerest apology for the tickets I have recieved. I'll admit, I was going a bit over the speed limit and I shouldn't have. But in each case of being pulled over, I was going with the flow of traffic, no more than 5 mph over, I'm sure of it. And I don't mean to undermind the ethic of the wonderful police officers of the area, but I also wanted to make known that the same police offier pulled me over each time, Officer Ida Dohntkare. Officer Dohntkare happens to be the mother of my ex boyfriend of 3 years, whom I broke up with last month. She knows my vehicle very well. I believe that my being pulled over rather than all the other cars around me going the same speed 4 times in one month by the same officer in very biased. Please take all of this into consideration when making your final decision. Whatever your decision shall be, I will understand.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Kari Hilliker
Dearest Mother,
Let me just start by saying I love you so very much and thank you for raising me to be the strong person I am today. You're the most amazing woman on the earth. No joke. But I have some mildly bad news of little importance. Its really not a big deal. I got a ticket. Actually, a few. And, my liscence was taken away. Don't worry Mommy, I've got it all handled! I have a ride to school and I can pay for the ticket...s... I was going with the flow of traffic, and I'm pretty sure the cop has beef with me.. It was Riley Dohntkare's mom! I'm sure I can get The judge to drop the charge. Remember, I love you, you love me, you're my mother, you do not want to kill me right now. Right? Right. Well, I love you. Did I mention you're awesome? And.. I love you!
Love,
Your absolute favorite angel child!
Yo peeps!
Soo.. I got another ticket. ANOTHER ONE. What the crap! I know. Its crazy. I only go like 5 over. But who doesnt? Seriously, this is not my fault. I was so going with the flow of traffic. It was Riley's mom that pulled me over. I swear she's hunting me down since I dumper her poor little son! These tickets are bogus. And they look away my liscense! I better be able to get outta this. Thanks for your support peeps!
Love, your bff! <3
Ps. Kennedy is in this video. She is funny. "Hey girrrrrl!"

“Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.”

“Opposition turns up almost anyplace something good has happened. It can happen when you are trying to get an education. It can hit you after your first month in your new mission field. It certainly happens in matters of love and marriage. … There are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. … Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.” -Jeffrey R. Holland

"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"
I really like this article because it has a very interesting arguement and is definitely a kairotic issue! And well, it was just darn entertainting. The authors intent here is to show that even though to internet is an awesome tool that can seemingly do everything for us at anytime, we may be losing our ability to think like normal and lose concentration because we expect the information we get to always be in the same form as the internet. It is quick and easy and to the point, you can search for exactly what you need. But if you're reading a book/encyclopedia to find to info you might get bored after a few minutes and give up because its just not as "easy." He says we can become machine-like, that when we rely on computers, "it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence."
Carr appeals to pathos a lot here. He basically just called us future robots, who wants that? When he uses the quote, "We are how we read," it makes me think. Am I really defined by how I read? Because I gotta say, I'm quite guilty of having a wee attention span. He also brings up that when we read online, we are just "mere decoders of information." Hey. I'm a person. With goals, intentions and needs. :P Hush. I also thought he used some other cool little tools like illusion. He says things like "the typewriter rescued him." This, and just the fact that he made the article pretty entertaining make it much more interesting to read.
I'd think that the audience would come to agree with the author's ideas here. Mostly because he appeals to pathos so much (people dont want to be robots), I would say this is a very effective arguement. It definitely made me see it in a way I had never thought before. Most people are worried about a zombie apocolapse, where the world will be stricken by some rancid desease and begin eating itself. What they SHOULD be worried about is a robot apocolapse. "Rrread some books!" And yes, yes that is a Nacho Libre quote.
