1. A writer is someone who has a pen/pencil and paper. It doesn’t matter who you are. If you can put print on a paper, you write. A writer is someone who has a passion for something and can write about it without stopping. They can write an endless story about what they love and care about. You can write pages and pages about yourself and someone else who reads it may think you’re writing about something completely different. People interpret things differently. That’s not a bad thing, people are just different. They still interpret them in some form.

2. Both the good and the bad are handed to her and she describes them. The form of ethos, i think is invented ethos. She uses examples from her own family. Her daughter sleeps 7 to 7. She may have fabricated it up a little, but she knows how to raise a child. From personal ecperience of her own daughter. She describes the book, “Dr. Richard Ferber, [is the] author of the best-selling 1985 book //Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems// ” and discusses the positives a negatives about Ferber's Techniques. It was a good tactic because she has her own daughter and she's gone through the sleepless nights. She fabricated it a tad, but i don't think that she knows less than any other mother.

3. In the New York Times, Allison Gopnik wrote about babies being smarter than you think. Her emotion towards it was a strong feeling. She believes strongly about babies being smart before they can even add and subtract. She is trying to show parents what their babies can do, while parents aren’t really paying much attention to it. She did a few experiments on babies in proof that they can do more than what we see on a day to day basis. “We gave the children the blocks and asked them to light up the machine. These children, who couldn’t yet add or subtract, were more likely to put the high-probability yellow block, rather than the blue one, on the machine.” Although, parents believe that their kids should learn in a focused, planned way (Gopnik). Her emotion towards it is in a sympathetic way for babies, but not for parents. She believes in these babies and wants badly for their parents to as well.
