Rhetorical Analysis of a Space

While analyzing the new science wing, I couldn't help but notice some very distinctive characteristics that do not relate to the rest of the college. First, you would notice how throughout the "old" section of Lewis, there are very little windows and all of the colors are of a "beige" hue. Upon entering the new science wing, its very different than that pattern. The colors are very modern, the majority of the walls and features are a soft grey, and the bright red cherry wood is very prominent. I think that they structured the building in such a modern way because science is very "modern" so to speak in the fact that it is constantly changing and being updated.
Second, I noticed that the new wing was very open. There are so many windows and open staircases so everything has a very open outdoor feel. I think this was done because the best way to study science and biology is by being outdoors where it is taking place. By having a very open area it allows students who are studying to be seemingly outdoors with what they are studying, and if they so wish, there is also an outdoor seating area where they can go to really be outside with nature.

For the Rhetorical Analysis I found an ad for Absolut Vodka that struck my interest. Here is the ad!

Snow Day Activity

Upon reading this assignment I couldn't help but think about the choices I made in high school that I had to overcome. I was half way through high school and I began to notice that the "friends" I was associating with were not that much like me at all. As much as I wanted to believe that they were my "true" friends, at the end of the day I knew that they were not people I felt I could belong with.
 So, even though letting go of my "fake" friends and starting over half way through high school was not the easiest decision I have ever made, I finally began to notice how much better I felt finding my TRUE friends and being so much more content at the end of the day.
I learned so much about myself, especially that starting over isn't always a bad thing, and a new perspective is not something to be afraid of.

MLK's Letter From Birmingham City Jail Passage-Based Free Write:
The passage from which I free wrote was: "I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith. I also hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil rights leader, but as a fellow clergyman and a Christian brother. Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty."

What I decided to write about was how captivating the imagery was in this passage. I continued to find myself amazed by the image that appeared in my head by these statements. The way he used dark clouds, deep fog, radiant stars, and shine over all brought about this image of clearing skies after a storm and the wonderful feeling of a new beginning. I think this passage speaks to everyone in the fact that everyone can relate to seeing the skies clear and happiness erupting. The passage also illustrates each image with a relation to feelings and emotions coming from both the black and white communities.

Here are different examples of some sentence structures:
Complex: To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
Complex/Compound: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Simple: They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity.
Compound: In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.

Thesis

Although a career in nursing is extremely rewarding, some often miss the struggles that those kind, caring nurses must endure. The education they must receive is extremely rigorous, and even post college they maintain hectic lifestyles in order to ensure that the lives that are left in their hands are being properly cared for and attended to
