...Omar Ashmawy's essay Ten Years After 9/11, We're still in the Dark, published on September 9th, 2011 by The Washington Post, he explains that since the 9/11 attack, he believes nothing has changed. In this essay, he explains that America has not moved one step closer to understanding Islam and Arab ways. Because of the ignorance on America's part, we, as a nation, are not protected from being attacked again. An appeal of ethos is supported through the writer's credibility. I believe that Ashmawy is credible because he has been in the military and realizes that Americans, as a whole, do not understand Islam and Arab culture, and therefore, we are in great danger of being attacked again. In his essay, Ashmawy provides evidence and facts to support his view through an appeal called logos. Ashmawy also uses his personal experience of being in the military and what he knows to present this evidence. Ashmawy also uses an appeal of pathos through emotionally loaded words used throughout his essay. Logos, ethos, and pathos have been used throughout this essay to stress the importance of the danger America has faced...

...throughout the book by either direct or indirect means. When I first began reading “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, I had my own personal ideas about the people who practiced Islam and lived in areas of the Middle East similar to the Balti. I never believed that any story would change the perceptions that had become engraved in my mind since a young age and influenced by the harsh activities such as the attacks of 9/11. “Three Cups of Tea” is a story based on Mortenson's experiences in the area near K2 and especially the village of Korphe. The story begins with a failed attempt of reaching the summit of the K2 in order to put his sister’s necklace there to honor her death. However,the journey ends up becoming a bigger accomplishment. This story is the telling of one man’s dedication to build schools and help a group of people who struggle with poverty to become better educated, especially girls who are seen to not be allowed to privileges of education. Throughout the novel, there are different times in which the Balti people show fierce yet hospitable actions and within this essay I will fully discuss my reactions to these numerous examples. Also, I will discuss in further detail my own opinions of the rigid views of the Islam faith based onevents such as 9/11 and the Boston Marathon and how opinions again after I read this novel. First, even from the beginning the Balti people show this fierce yet hospitable persona. It is evident that...

...Alvarez ENC1101 MW 8:00-9:15am 11 January 2011 781 Words Essay #1 Rough Draft/ Descriptive: The Day I Left My Native Country Changed My Whole Life Life is about making choices, but at the age of seven I had no right to make my own choices. I was seven years old when my parents told me they had decided to leave our homeland Havana, Cuba I was speechless and pale like a printing paper. They wanted a better future for me; for they knew in America I would have a better education and a more comfortable lifestyle. In Cuba education and lifestyle was very poor, not everything was modern like in America. However, going to America was not what bother me it was leaving the life I had in my homeland. That significant decision my parents made changed everything about me and my life, it meant I had to leave my homeland, friends and family to go to a far-away place, I would have adjust to the alien environment, and I would have to learn a different language. I remember the day I had to leave Cuba; I was just seven years old. My parents drove to the airport with my entire friends and family to say our last goodbyes. As I walked into the airport everything was really bright, and cold inside, yet my face looked boiling hot; it did not mean I was hot I was just trying to hold in my tears from how badly I wanted to cry. My time was done as I heard a computer voice say the flight was ready to take off. I gave my grandma her last hug squeezing her fragile skinny bones. My aunt gave me a last kiss...

Phil tells the boy not to come back again. 2. Characterize the boy who is the main character. The boy is a sixteen year old teenager. He’s harmless and mostly sits in front of the television. All he ever wanted was to become a Sports Trainer. Despite being bossed around like the big chunk he turned out to become, he once was a fit person, giving his ambitions a slight chance of realism. He’s not too bright either. He doesn’t have an exam and is a bit of a day dreamer. Day dreaming away, the boy gets joy from the little things in life, the things we add no value. “Page 9, line 47” * “The boy liked collecting. He liked being on his own, without the window cleaner’s chivvying. He liked pressing the bell, or knocking, or flicking the letterbox and waiting with nothing in his head, for the door to open. He liked the interrupted faces people had when they saw him, and the music and chat and smells of food leaking out their houses.” The boy enjoys the independence; he likes not being escorted around, given some...
