third (Clive Thompson)

I think that the study that was done is very accurate and I agree with Clive Thompson. I know for a fact that I have never had a problem with using texting language in any of my papers. However I do use texting language when I people. People are always posting on Facebook because they see it as something they like to do and the attention they get like explained in the reading. I know whenever I have to write for just a teacher it always seems like a boring unwanted task. People will write better to please audiences. You also can find out what people like and maybe generate how you write something by their responses. This is how the world is turning out to be we are moving more towards social media and sometimes communicating in a "short hand" manner is the best way. Also being able to get feedback on things like Facebook or blogs can help you in your writing knowing how to please the audience, which gives you a sense of satisfaction.

second

The text I decided to use is from my favorite comic strip Foxtrot. In this comic strip I think that anyone who has a younger sibling can relate to this and I know in my family we are always looking for batteries and whenever we need them they are no where to be found. I think this strip relates to pathos in that it invokes humor and joy to the reader because of the situation that the girl was put in. The ethos in this is that the author seems like he knows what it is like to have younger siblings that are always bugging their older brothers/sisters. Another example of ethos is that families are always looking for things like batteries, but it always seems like when they need them there never is any.
