Presidential Debate Fallicies

A fallicie that Romney made was he thought there should be more troops on Iraq. Near the end of the debate Obama was attacking Romney with facts that were not correct, he was making lies so he can try to win the audience and the people over for hearing things that they want to here.

Class Work

In the "from Thoreau’s Walden" that we read in class I thought Thoreau was his itinerary and had a guile for what he wants to do in life. He was kind of saying that he wants to learn and understand the things he does before doing anything else. He wants to ascetic every point that he think that’s is a good point to him. He lost his despair in everything like if he just gave everything up and just let it all go. I think that he thinks that his life can be very lurid sometimes with all the thing that he has to go though. I also think that he is thinking that he can thinks of pious for what his reactions are. He has his own endemic that he is doing. He is exemplary to what he thinks his life was before he ages. He is very expostulate and innuendo because it seems like he doesn’t care what other people think. For example “Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.” I think this shows that he is willing to thin about what other think about what he has to say but be happy with whatever he thinks it is.

Mid-Term Studying

For the mid-term exam I will review the old vocab (I'm so glad that I kept all my flash cards!) and make to piles. The ones that I know and the ones that I do not know or unsure of. I would also like to form a study group one of the days of this week and just collaborate with my classmates.
