presidents, presidents, let's see,
throughout America's history,
who's made it into the presidency?
If U.S. History taught me anything, it was that. It's a song, by the way.
Just right now was the presidential debate. What a coincidence, considering that we were studying the art of arguing!
I'm usually not that much a fan of watching candidates argue with each other, but I did anyway. What did I realize? That was pretty interesting.
Continuing the semi-newly acquired knowledge from the previous post, we can see all the logos, ethos, and pathos in their arguments.
There was logos in the form of stating facts.
There was ethos in the form of addressing the violence in other countries.
There was pathos in the form of children without a roof over their heads.
Stuff like that.
Now, less stuff from previous book stuff and more direct thought process from my brain:
Wow.
They continually seem to be attacking each other, challenging each other's previous statements and arguments, accusing each other for their previous "wrong and reckless policies", and other general stuff. Both candidates continually wanted to speak over the other, seeming to take the offensive side rather than the agreement side. Blame took a great part of this debate, and that perhaps made it fun.
Also, among all this, they both managed to smile at a single moment.
Moreover, I just have no idea how they can keep talking nonstop like that for longer than five minutes. Oh, well. I guess I'm not meant to be a president.
I think I can live with that.
