Blog 15 Cowboys

Ehrlich describes cowboys differently than the average stereotypes. Ehrlich describes cowboys as people who are tough on the outside, but compassionate inside. They have to be tough because they job is very hard, but they also have to be very compassionate to the animals, because they care about the animals. If an animal was in danger or hurt, the cowboy would do anything to help the animal. However cowboys have trouble communicating their emotions to women, because cowboys are so busy they barely see women. Ehrlich has a longing tone. She misses being with the cowboys, and really admires them. It helps convey her purpose of describing cowboys as better than the average male.  Because she admires them so much, it makes the audience admire them too.

Information spreads on the internet fast, and if someone finds an interesting secret, he will easily help spread it around; through social websites and blogs. No one can control what is posted on the internet, so it can easily spread secrets.

Blog 13 What Should Be Taught in School

I think the schools should teach students some basic principles of ethics and personal values such as: sharing, respecting other students opinions, being courteous of others around you, respecting your elders, and refraining from using curse words and slang at inappropriate times. I think the school should be able to teach whatever they want; as long as they feel it will be beneficial. Anything a teacher or school feels will be beneficial for the student, should be permitted to be taught at school.
