Conserve, Reuse, Recycle, and Human Cadavers?

1. I thought Semrau's quote, "Have you figured out that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift?", revealed his point the most. This quote places at the bottom of fifth column. I could approach his point at this quote when he talked about imagining him being in the cadaver, or anatomical gift.

2. Semrau uses many background information about himself and his childhood, and makes a roundabout speech about his point. In my opinion, the writing style that he uses is not effective because it can easily draw readers to the off point and not make them to focus about one's assertion. In addition, I was having a problem finding a strong assertion untill I found a quote when he talked about being in the cadaver. Although he introduces himself with his childhood dream, being a surgeon, and the life experiences that he went through, those don't efficiently reveal his point. However, I understood his connection between reuse and donating his body. By chosing the 'Reuse' as his favorite word, he could show his opinion about getting in to the medical school with his body, therefore, he could be reused and donated at the same time. But, it still his writing strategy leaves an ambiguity, whether he wanted to donate his body to go to medical school, or he wanted to go to the medical school to donate his body. I think Semrau revealed his point well by actually mentioning what he wants to do, but at the same time his circumlocution seems to make readers harder to find it.

Luther's Sermon

Luther uses a lot of language devices that we learned in class. First he uses diction with words such as "nations, Lord, Father, our King, and Child" to reveal God's divine power and Chirst's sacrifice that can save us from sins and evil. We can also see comparison. "Not by human flesh and blood, by the Spirit of our God,". This showed God chose to make Jesus Chirst not in a physical body way, but in a spiritual way.
Luther uses pathos to reveal his theme as well. For example, "Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child", "Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;", and "High the song of triumph swell!". Luther tries to preach people by showing his emotions in the fact of God's power and Chirst's birth. He uses his impressions to honor and respect Chirst's birth. Luther also uses logos to show the holyness of Chirst and the importance of glorious God in our human life. The quote "That the Lord chose such a birth.", and "Hast o'er sin the victory won." shows Luther's use of logos as well. The Luther's sermon has a strong and great theme. He mostly glorifies Christ's birth and considers it as a celebration of mankind. Perhaps, Luther tries to convey a message to the mankind that our human should be less agressive about our overusing of sins.

What's wrong with hanging things from rearview mirrors?

 This article talks about hanging objects from rearview mirror should be legalize or not. Many people just put dangling objects on their rearview mirror such as gruduation tassels, air freshener, and all kinds of accessories and don't notice whether it is legal or not. Although most of them think it shouldn't be matter on driving, Michigan has prohibited drivers from dangling items from rearview mirrors. The bill doesn't have specific description about what size items must be, and it's up to officers to pull over drivers. As a result of a lot of people includes Senators and Governors don't agree with the law, now the Senate has approved the bill and it awaits debate in the state house.
 Moreover, the quote "I call it a 'gotcha' law. It's an excuse to pull someone over." was the most effective quote in this article because it mocks the police from using excuses to pull people over for silly dangling objects from rearview mirrors in their cars. And I like the idea of naming the law as a 'gotcha' law.
 In my opinion, even I'm not a driver myself, it should be legal to have dangling objects in drivers' rearview mirrors. As I mentioned before, it is just one of excuses that police use it to pull people over for no good reasons. In fact, I've seen a lot of people got into car accidents from talking on the phone of taxting while they're driving, but not from objects from rearview mirrors. It's time for legislature to concern about how to reduce those car accidents from taxting, and not making another excuses like this. Moreover, they need to get rid of the law, or they should soften the law by restricting specific items such as giant fuzzy dice, and shiny or gaudy objects that can easily affect to driver's vision.

They are no racial comments, only facts

  Most valuable player in NBA, the Chosen One, King James.....These were the words that used to describe LeBron James thorough last several years, however, he is now standing in a position where he is losing his value, love, and respects from people in United States. It all happened since this July when LeBron made a decision to leave his team Cleveland Cavaliers and join in Miami Heat. In fact, Mitch Albom also writes article about him blaming racial factors about his decision. Mr. Albom conveys facts that his fallen and losing faith from his people, and LeBron believes that those people are making racial comments about him. Thus, Mr.Albom criticizes LeBron's behavior towards his Cleveland fans was not appropriate to show it.

  LeBron basically left his fans who have been behind since he was in high school to make his career more garish, but do you think those criticizing comments are from racism? In my opinion, I don't agree with it. His action eventually embarrassed not only the city Cleveland, but also fans in personal, therefore he deserves those criticisms that he is facing now from nationwide, or maybe worldwide. LeBron also mentioned that his reason for moving to Miami is that it's going to give him the best opportunity to win the championship for multiple years, and I personally thought this showed his egoistic personality that he tended to choose glory rather than friendship.

  I could directly indicate Mr. Albom's most effective point in this article by the title. His title revealed his opinion by conveying the message directly to LeBron, and that also stimulate reader's thought to make agreements with his idea. Moreover, Mr.Albom's style of writing affects to reader's point of view. Presenting his criticsm towards Lebron with using various skills, it makes it easier to approach to reader. So, these are not about racial comments, they are just facts about LeBron James.
