Knowledge- is what we know this page is here so i know this i can see it, and feel it so it is real
knowledge is in the realm where truth and belief cross because you have to believe the
truth to know something
Truth- is what really happened or happening or is, No one person can know all truth, most
truth is known by no one
Belief-you can believe anything that you want to wether it is true or not such as God or Jesus
these things may not be true but since it is human nature to want comfort we believe that
these people really did exsist. People believe things that can't be proven true why?

V for Vendetta (2)
V's speech uses all three modes of persuasion. The three modes of persuasion ar ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is a means to establish yourself to the audience and give them a reason to listen to you. V establishes his credability by saying "I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Baily". Now that people know that he risked himself for the good of all the people in England, so they are more inclined to listen to and trust V. Since the people of London have a reason to listen to V, he needs to give the audience a reason to act. V does this by making the audience feel that it is their fault that their country has many problems, and they should help clean it up. He also makes the English people feel like the government is usign the people and they are like small children that should just do as they are told by saying"and all he demanded in return was your silent, oviedent consent." To make the people feel these strong emotions is called pathos. The last mode of persuasion is called logos. Logos means to use logic to persuade people. V says "But if you see as i see, if you feel as i feel, and if you would seek as i seek. . . then i ask you to stand beside me." So now that the people know that their government is corrupt and has been trampling their rights there really shouldn't be a doubt in people's minds that they should stand by V. V wants to make england a better place and to do this he is trying to get the people to join him against the establishment and act for the good of all. This type of argument would be means to an end.

Myself (1)
Describe yourself (100 words): Anything about personality, goals , shortcomings, and intrests. Include a photograph.
My name is Nathan A. Gibbs. I am currently a junior at East Ascension High School. With higher than a 4.0 gpa. I am also a part of the cross country and tennis teams. I am a very dedicated person. Once I start something I feel that i have to stick with it until the end. My goals in life? Well I want to be happy. Basicly everything that i do in life is to help me reach that goal. Most of the time i worry to much about what others think about me, and i try to make them happy and be something that i'm not, but i've been trying to fix that and it's coming along nicley. I am really into music now-a-days. It is just a way of getting how i feel out.
"this is the world we're given
and these are the hands we're given
use them and lets start tryin
to make it a place worth livin in"
