Reflection 22 Jan 2018

I feel like our presentation was good. It was short and sweet and didn't dwell on anything for too long. We presented our company and each phase of the presentation quickly and effectivity. We should improve on our organization and practice. I feel our slide show was good but the presentation needed work. The appeals we used in our presentation was "the appeal to achieve" and the "appeal to nurture". We used these because our campaign was about a bike sharing program in Abu Dhabi. The appeal to achieve was used to achieve a healthier lifestyle and a cleaner more environmentally-friendly Abu Dhabi. Obesity is a problem in Abu Dhabi especially in children, so we used the appeal to nurture so that parents will want to use the bike share program to become not just healthier themselves but for their children as well.

Blog Entry 1- Introduction A little something about me: Hi, My name is Rainier and I’m from South Africa. I was born in Cape Town. I moved to the USA when I was 3 years old, and lived there until I was 11. I moved back to South Africa, stayed for a year, then moved yet again, to the UAE. I am studying in Raha International school for the past 6 years. I play rugby and enjoy sport and fitness. And food, lots and lots of food. I love learning new things, especially languages, even though I am really bad at them. I can speak Afrikaans (semi fluently), English (kinda) , and I’m learning French. I can get by with Dutch and Flemish. I basically can’t speak anything. Language as had a major role in my life in many different aspects of my life. It defines who I am as a person, I feel. Being bilingual I can communicate to a broader range of people, and being Afrikaans I can talk to people in South Africa and Nambia, and at least understand enough of the language in Holland a

Martin Luther King Jr. - "I have a Dream" Short Commentary

Martin Luther King Jr – “I have a Dream” In Martin Luther King Jr.’s (MLK) speech, “I have a dream”, delivered on 28 th of August 1963, uses rhetoric language and literary devices like Logos and Pathos predominately, but also metaphors, anaphoras, amplification and others to create the mood of hope and believe for African Americans. MLK wrote this speech in a tone of importance to establish the idea of injustice for African Americans. Martin Luther King delivered “I had a dream” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in the Capital, Washington D.C, in front of two-hundred thousand people, both black and white. He delivered “I have a dream” in front of the symbolic and historic monument because Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, that abolished slavery for African Americans. This is significant because MLK uses the metaphor, “…But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still

Blog Post – David Foster Wallace and Zora Neale Hurston

David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech, “This is Water” relates to the novel “Their eyes were watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston because of the elements of being emotionally intelligent about oneself and other around you. The main thesis of being self-aware, having a choice, real freedom, and being independent are major elements of in both pieces of work. Both pieces of work, demonstrate and showcase the social construct of the world we live and make us question deeper questions of the mind and soul. Zora Neale Hurston’s feministic self-discovery novel, “Their eyes were watching God” is about Janie Crawford and her journey for true love, true freedom, and true independence. Throughout each of her 3 marriages, to Logan Killicks, then her 20 year marriage to Jody Starks that ended in his death due to kidney problems, and finally to the man that gave her true love, Tea Cake. Janie’s journey for true love makes her more independent and self-aware of her self and what loves means
