-what is the problem being discussed?
Condolezza Rice was being protested against. She had spoken at a graduation and everyone seemed to be outraged in which sparked a protest.
What is each speakers position and argument? Hannity is the main speaker and his position was liberal vs conservative, Almend's position is that he is a liberal and is also the one being interviewed based on the initial problem, inwhich he is against the issue. Colmes position is that he questions Almends response.
Do any of the speakers move away from the issue at hand?
-cite examples (write what question was/answer/analogies)
Yes, Hennity asks Almend about his voting record. Almend also avoids a new question being asked and tries to go back to the original question. Colmes proposes a possible solution.
Do any of the seapkers employ logical fallacies?(which ones) Party association based on likes and dislike somewhat employed a logical falacie. Steve Almend was attacked by Hannity which makes another logical fallacie.
Identify who steve almend is and what his level of authority is on this topic.
Steve Almend is a guest on the news show being broadcasted. He was a professor at Boston college and is also a writer.It is pretty obvious that he did not have that much authority on the topic because the other men would somewhat talk over him. Showing that his answers or inputs didn't matter.
Was this an effective argument? Why or why not? No, because there are many sides of the argument and get off topic of the argument. The argument seemed to be all over the place.

Jonathan Swift
In a Modest Proposal, Jonathan Swift came up with an idea to save his country from poverty by eating children. The article shows many benefits for the country of Ireland. Some of the benefits that he came up with for the solution are; popluation control, helping the poor finacially, restore the economy, bringing a new exotic dish to the country, and more local business. He not only wants to use children for food, but also clothing. In part of his writings he compares the children to other animals. Through out the proposal he came up with many other reasons why this could bring Ireland out of poverty, but is eating children really okay?
In responds to Jonathans proposal of eating children to save Ireland is in a way disagreeable and agreeable. Obviously something needs to be done to save Ireland, but eating children is not the answer because it is unethical. Eating children in a way is like killing innocent people for no reason. You just aren't suppose to do it, so why should we take innocent childrens lives?

First Post
Having read the syllabus for English 101 composition I feel that this class will be somewhat easy for me. My senior year in high school I had taken an English class that I feel has prepared me for this level of English. We wrote papers constantly and did a couple research papers.
Writing is also one of my strong points when it comes to school. It just comes naturally to me so with that said I feel pretty confident about this class and feel that I will do well in it. Also, with reading the syllabus I get the vibe that it will be a more laid back class which insures me to be more confident with my writing and learning.
