persuasive techniques

        Today I was late to ELA  so when i walk into the classroom I hear that we are getting a new blog post assignment. Then when we got further instruction I was so happy to hear that we were doing our post on persuasive techniques. So the persuasive techniques I am doing are scare tactic, appeals to pity, and appeals to flattery.

        To begin with I am using a Michelin man ad. The web address is  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF_I68jCwHg This commercial uses fear factor by stating that if you have michelin tires you are safer than you were before. I think that the ad is very effective and a lot of people will buy the tires.

        Another commercial I'm using is an animal abuse ad. The web address is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SFHlekA6cw  This commercial is using appeals to pity.  It is also stating that you can help the poor animals. This ad will be very successful and many people will donate to the organization.

        The last commercial is a commercial about cover girl. The commercial uses testimonial appeal. The commercial is trying to make you base your opinion on what the Ellen Degenerous. I think that the commercial will be very successful and many people will buy the cover girl product. http://deceiver.com/2009/02/13/ellen-degeneres-to-get-humane-society-award/

figurative language in music

 Songs have figurative language in them we just don’t think about it enough. Defining figurative language, well figurative language consists of seven parts. The first is alliteration. The second is metaphor. The third is simile. The fourth is onomatopoeia. The fifth is personification. The sixth is hyperbole. The seventh is idiom. Also there are two poetic elements. The first is imagery the second is cliché.

 

You can count on me by Bruno Mars “you can count on me cause I can count on you.” These lyrics have alliteration in the words you can count on me. Alliteration is like a sentence that every word in it starts with C.

 

Just give me a reason by Pink “right from the start you were a thief you stole my heart. This has a metaphor comparing the one she loved and they stole her heart. What is a metaphor, a metaphor is comparing two things without using like or as.

 

Up all night to get lucky by Draft Punk and Pharrell Williams. “Like the legend of the phoenix all ends with beginnings.” These lyrics have similes. A simile is comparing two things using like or as.

 

All in all figurative language can be used in any thing. Even in music. And if you think about it long enough you will see that music is poetry in a way.

3 Careers I'm Interested In

First I'm interested in being a forest ranger, marine and for a fall back i plan to be a farmer.
Marine corps:
No one can fully comprehend the difficulty that some one must go through.
Training camp is 12 weeks.
Minimum entry age is 17 with parent consultant or 18 with out
You must have a high school diploma
There are many possible responsibilities for combat op. Careers
Like cleaning guns, driving armored vehicles and a lot more
Something else that would help would be taking physics and mechanics in high school
You also get the best training and base pay, you receive full medical coverage, tuition support and more.

Forest ranger:
Fall back plan. A career with the Forest Service will challenge you to manage and care for more than 193 million acres of our nation’s most beautiful lands, conduct research through a forest and range experiment and the Forest Products Laboratory, and provide assistance to State and private forestry agencies. It’s an amazing job – but the rewards are as limitless. And this is the job for me.

Farmer:
A farmer would be my fall back plan to the marines or the forest ranger. The most obvious careers are directly related to the farm or ranch. But did you know that only 10 percent of Americans are involved in traditional farming? If that is the case, then what other careers comprise the agricultural field? Unlike agriculture of our grandparents' day, today's agriculture offers over 200 rewarding and challenging careers.

How does our education system

Russia:

Education in Russia is provided predominantly by the state and is regulated by the of education and science. Regional authorities regulate education within their jurisdictions within the prevailing framework of federal laws. In 2004 state spending for education amounted to 3.6% of GDP, or 13% of consolidated state budget. In 2011, the spending on education amounted to $ 20 billion. Private institutions account for 1% of pre-school enrollment, 0.5% of elementary school enrollment and 17% of university-level students.

Canada:
Education in Canada is for the most part provided publicly, funded and overseen by federal , provincial , and local governments. Education is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province. Education in Canada is generally divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary.

Mexico:
Here are some facts about education and Mexico:

* The number of Mexican students has surged to 32 million from 3 million in 1950 as the country's population exploded.

* Most young children attend primary school but only 62 percent reach secondary school. At secondary level about half of students drop out and only a quarter reach higher education, according to non-governmental organization Mexicanos Primero (Mexicans First), which is pushing for reform of the system.
