1. A writer is someone that has feeling and knows how too expresses it on paper. They know what to write and how to write it. The definitions of a writer are endless simply because anybody can be a writer. It all depends on how they feel about what they’re writing about. A writer knows how to express what they feel with meaning and makes it sound good. Also I think a writer has to be creative with what they say because people don’t like to read plain and boring people like exciting. When someone’s a writer they also know how to make it look simple with the flow they use in there writing. There are many ways to describe a writer but that’s just my definition. =====

2. This article is about how to put babies to sleep. They explain what is the right way and the wrong way. According to Dr. Richard Ferber letting them cry it out is the right way to let the baby fall asleep. The writer uses Ethos by explaining ways to put the babies to sleep and how or what kind of parent they are. Invented ethos is when the writer tries to make the character seem like a good or better person. In the article she states that “Since the age of three months, our little Beatrice has slept from 7 to 7” she is using invented ethos. By making her baby seem like an angel now thanks to the method. They are using it on the doctor who showed them how to put the baby to sleep. -Natasha Harley

3. In the Article “Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think” By Author By Alison Gopnik it uses quite a bit of pathos. This article is explaining that babies and small toddlers are actually pretty intelligent. It starts by using Enargeia because it gives stories about how babies are smart. In one of the stories it explains that when using blocks to turn on a machine they used yellow and blue blocks. The yellow blocks were more effective, so they gave them to the babies and instantly they know which color to use to turn on the machine. It also uses Pejorative Language because it’s disrespecting in small way the parents who use preschool for their babies. It explains in the article that school is more for adults because they way they are taught is less hands on than actually just playing with your child. I don’t think this article uses Honorific Language because its not making anyone side look more like the hero just saying that maybe this way is a little better then they other. -Natasha Harley
