Creative Responses #2 Cultured-Euphemistic
While relaxing by the pool Culture's butler comes up to them and ask "what would they like to drink?"
Culture responds, " I would rather enjoy some lemonade at this occasion. I am quite parched and I feel lemonade would be the most vital to quench my thirst!"
Detached responds, " I dont care just bring me something and hurry up! Man it seems like nobody cares in this world anymore! Why should I have to tell you what I want?"
Emotional responds, "Oh my God!! Thank you soo much for asking! I can see you really care, and I love it when people care about other people. Well I would love some sweet tea please."
Esoteric answers, "In oreder for me to stay in tune, like in music, I need to hear the pitch. Come back later when I can tell what pitch my body is playing."
Euphemistic answers, " I dont know what I want. Maybe a soda, no water, no I want sweet tea, ugh.... I just so confused."

One day there were 5 kids on their way to lunch at the local High School.
Concrete asked,"What will be the content of the lunch today that is being distributed by our government. i need to know what is being served because I rely so heavily on this food that our tax-payers money goes to help fund."
Artificial responded,"Well its obvious that they are serving french fries and pizza which have all been cooked in grease and fating products. All of this stuff comes from the fat of Lamas which is be used to make the foods they serve even fatter."
Bombastic answered, " Well, well, well, it seems that you have came to the right place. I am the only one who know the true identify if the menu. Without me, you would be lost and would subject yourself to being a loser like the rest of the people who don't listen to me.
Colloquial answered, "Dude!!! Like Bombastic is really harsh bro!! Look dude if you wanna know the menu then just follow me. Im like a fish to water when it comes to finding things bro!"
Connotative responded, "I know that they say it on the morning news every day, but I think you should ask. You can even search around the room, I believe that they have the menu up on one of the walls everyday."

My toulmin
CLAIM:

My Essay:
President Elect Obama revolutionized the inner working of the grass root campaining. He assembled a ground team consisting of thousands of voulenteers who campaingened him through personal texts, calls, going door to door, internet, television, and yard signs. Through Obama's revolutionary campaign he reached cut to a rainbow coalition.
His supporters include African Americans, Caucasion Americans, Lations, Asains, gays, and people of all ages. Obama didn't target just one specific ethnicity. He reached out to all ethnicities in order to bring awarness to his campaign. He won 54% of Catholics, 66% of Latinos, 68% of new voters, 96% of the African American population, and over 50% of the Caucasion American population. He didn't want just votes from the red states or just the blue states. Obama wanted the United States. He felt our unification would bring us out of our econimic downturn. People everywhere of all ethnicities believed Obama and his famous quote, " Change you can believe in."
Obama was not only able to reach people in the north, but he reached people in the south, west, and mid-west. Obama was able to achieve a unprecidented 364 electoral votes through his revolutionary campaign and through his rainbow coalilition. He was able to recieve support from nothern states like New York and Pennslyvania; Western states like California and Washington; Southern states like Florida and mid-western states lik colorado. President Elect Obama was able to win because he pulled in a larger range of supporters.
Obama won not because he was a black man or because he was richer than Senator McCain. He won because he was a American who cared deeply for his country and wanted to bring change for everyone. He felt by reaching out to a rainbow coalition and using hsi revolutionary campaign, he would be able to become the 44th president of the United States. He achieved his goal by using his thousands of voulenteers and making every American believe change was coming to them.

Persuasion Sensation
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/19/opinion/19kristof.html?ref=opinion
NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF'S ARUGMENT
TOULMIN ORGANIZER
CLAIM:
A economic downturn isn’t uniformly bad and might even be good for you in several ways.
REBUTTAL:
Unless people are losing their homes, jobs and basically their lives. It is extremely hard to look at the good results when so many of the results are bad and harm us and the economy. Divorce rates spike in recessions. Credit evaporates, lives are upended, and for retirees counting on selling stocks to survive, a bear market is a catastrophe.
WARRANT:
Since events have good and bad results, the US having a economic downturn will produce good results as well as bad ones.
BACKING:
Because poor people are finding homes, its causing people to save their money, death rates generally drop, fewer accidents occur, less pollution in the air, and people become happier because once they get their basic needs covered they save their money.
DATA:
A recession could save your life. A bear market might benefit you. Falling housing prices can help the poor. Income does not have much to do with happiness.
This picture shows a silver lining, because even with all the bad the author chooses to look a the good no matter how small it may seem.
CLAIM:
Even with all of the good, the bad outweighs it and people will come out more negative than positive.
WARRANT:
Even though there are good and bad results, there will be far less good results than bad and people we be to physically, mentally, and emotionally troubled to see any of the good results.
BACKING:
Many people are losing their homes, and home for-closure rates are rising. It seems more and more that the rich are getting richer and getting tax breaks while the middle and lower class are not getting anything be their homes taken. Divorce rates are rising and many people's credit is evaporating. The bear market can be a complete failure if you use it in retirement also.
DATA:
Economic downturns hurt not only every person's pockets, but they hurt they physically, emotionally, and mentally. Many people are losing their homes and for-closure rates are rising, rich are getting richer and poor getting poorer, and people's relationships are diminishing.
In my argument I choose to go against Mr. Kristof's argument that an economic downturn is not always bad. Even with all the good things happining, the bad results still outweigh the good, and more negativity comes out. People will be worn out physically, mentally and emotionally because of all the struggles that they have to go through each and every day. With people losing homes, rich getting richer and poor getting poorer, divorce rate rising, and credit evaporating it is hard to see how anything good could possible come out of an economic downturn. The fact is, it hurts everyone and there is a grim future ahead of us if we finally fall into a economic downturn.

The author in this periodical brings up the idea that a economic downturn is not uniformly bad and might even be good for you in several ways. In the periodical he says that events have good and bad results, so the US will see some good come out of all of the bad. In order to back up his claim and warrant he uses examples and situations. He describes that if a economic downturn occurs then poor will find homes, people would save their money more, death rates drop, there are fewer accidents, less pollution, and people can be generally happier. Even with all the good you have bad like people losing homes, divorce rates spike, and credit evaporates. Overall it is going to be bad but even through all the bad there will be good that can help us get through the economic downturn.
