Going to Harvard???

1. Semrau's point is to conserve, reuse, and recycle everything, including yourself.

2. By intentionally leaving out information Semrau makes his point even stronger.  By making it sound like he was going to Harvard to become a doctor at the age of 75 and making you believe that that college had excepted him, he made you think.  He was using his body to the fullest.  However he was exactly reusing his body.   Instead of enrolling to Harvard as a medical student, Semrau was enrolling to someday become a cadaver.  Semrau was going to be an anatomical gift.  Semrau decided that sense he can no longer conserve he was going to reuse himself so that other could recycle him. The intent of this essay was to not be wasteful.  Semrau is putting his body to good use even after his gone.  The world today throws away useful and valuable items every day.  All Semrau is asking is to stop and think.  Are we conserving, reusing, or recycle.  Semrau believes once item is no longer functional, then it is time to recycle.  The world as a whole needs to use all that it is given until it can no longer function.  So from now on we need to stop and conserve, reuse, and recycle.  

Merry CHIRSTmas!

This hymn describes Christ’s birth and the reason He came to save us.  This hymn using many language tools to show that great power and love Christ had for us to be willing to come down and live as a human. “Was the Word of God made flesh--Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh.” This quote is a great example of description. It describes how Christ was the living word that was given to us. “Hast o'er sin the victory won.”  This is also an example of ethos.  This quote shows that passion of Christ.  It shows that He had such passion to come down, lived among us, suffered and died, went to hell and rose victoriously.  “Savior of the nations, come, Virgin's Son.”  This is an example of logos.  Showing that Christ had to be born of a virgin and as a human to fulfill that script and to make it possible to save us all.  “Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God.”  This example of diction shows that we can do nothing to save ourselves.  By choosing flesh and blood instead of body,  works or human strenght increases the impact it has on us.

Edwards’ sermon talks about the terrors of hell and the punishment that we truly deserve.  He scares you into believing instead of showing the love and mercy of God that we can take comfort in.  Though he does just five times mention Jesus and the comfort we can take in him, you don’t walk away from the sermon feeling saved.  However Rev. Borghardt’s sermon goes on and on about how we are saved through faith because of Jesus’ death on the cross. That because of God’s mercy we can look forward to a life time in Heaven with our Savor.

Law banning items from rearview mirrors is being rethought

1. This article talks about the law that states that you can not hang items from their rearview mirrors.  It states that the law it pointless and should be banned.  Or instead of being banned it should be changed that only large items can't be haning from the mirror.  However someone could argue what it to big and what is the right size.  This law is also now as just an excuse to pull people.  This article is mostly wondering if this law as any purpose at all.

2.  "Unless it's large and an obvious obstruction, it's just silly for police to pull somebody over for that. People aren't hurting anybody and they're not causing any danger."
I like this quote because it states the opinon perfectly.  That if the item is not big enough to block someone's vision and is not hurting anybody then the case should be left alone.

3. I agree with the fact that if the item does not block the drivers view of the road, then the driver should not be pulled over.  I also believe that if the law is not inforced then no driver should get a ticket.  If the driver does not even know about the law because it is not inforce then they should not be punished.

Mitch Albom paper

It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you

          The point that Mitch Albom is trying to say in this article is that even though race is that answer to many problems, it should not be an excuse to fall back on.  This country has many past, present, and future problems that will occur because of racism.  However it seems that when no given answer is good enough, racism is the answer given.  Although this is a very serious issue and should be taken to heart in every aspect of life, it should not be used to cover up the truth.

          I agree with Mitch Albom’s statement.  Racism is the cause of many issues but it is also the cause of many issues of which it does not belong.  Just because this amazing athlete is African American, does not make he a better athlete because of the color of his skin.   He is the amazing athlete he is because of God given talent and many hours of training. 

            “But LeBron didn't become internationally famous with only black fans liking him, and he didn't reach this sudden infamy with only white fans bailing out.” I believe this is the most effective point of Albom’s article.  LeBron was not just loved by African American fans but also by white fans.  Just as he was most likely dislike by some African American fans as well as by white fans.  Furthermore, this dislike was probably mostly caused by Lebron’s talent and personality, not by the color of his skin.
