The part of the rhetorical triangle I am going to use for this story is pathos. The first way I am going to describe pathos is how the narrator talks about her husband John. The second way o am going to describe pathos is her feelings towards the wallpaper. The final way I am going to describe pathos is how she feels about Jennie. These are the ways I am going to describe pathos.
To begin with I am going to talk about how the narrator feels towards her husband John. It can be inferred by the way the author wrote the story that the narrator really does love her husband John. The reason why I can say this is one of the main reasons she was trying to get healthy again is because of him. It could also be said that she would get a little irrated by him from time to time. The reason why I say this is when they first moved into the house she would consonantly ask him to change the wallpaper, now the thing about this that lead me to believe that she got irrated by him is her reaction after he reused to remove the paper after she asked him to do so many times. This is how I think the narrator felt about her husband John.
To continue with I will talk about the narrator’s feelings towards the wallpaper. The narrator could not stand the sight of the wallpaper at the beginning of the story. The reason why I say this is whenever she would write she would how much she can’t stand it. Then towards the middle of the story she starts to become infracted with the wallpaper. The reason why I say this is she watched and studied the paper so much that she started to see things that nobody else had noticed about it. Finally towards the end of the story she felt like she had to free the woman that she thought was trapped in the wallpaper. The way she tried to free her was to tear the paper off of the walls. The woman she saw in the paper was a metaphor of herself in the ways she felt trapped in the house. This is how the narrator felt towards the wallpaper.
Finally I will talk about how the narrator felt about Jennie. In the beginning of she just thought of her as a “perfect and enthusiastic housekeeper”. Then toward the middle of the story she stared to think that she gave her all the freedom that she wanted since John would not let her do anything. Then towards the end of the story she thought that Jennie thought that something was weird about the wallpaper. This is how I think the narrator felt about Jennie.
To conclude the part of the rhetorical triangle I used for this story was pathos. To begin with I talked about how the narrator feels towards her husband John. I then talked about the narrator’s feelings towards the wallpaper. Finally I talked about how the narrator felt about Jennie. These are the ways I described pathos.

CC STILL SITTING ON YANKS' OFFER

Are the Yankees headed for another Randy Johnson situation when dealing with CC Sabathia?
Johnson orchestrated his way out of Arizona to The Bronx for one reason: Yankee dollars.
As Johnson discovered, money often doesn't buy happiness in New York.
Now it appears Sabathia, who is light years ahead of Johnson as a teammate and person, may only land in the new Yankee Stadium
because of the $140 million offered across six years.
Though Sabathia's wife, Amber, would like her husband to pitch for the Giants, and though the Angels have the money, neither
club has shown a strong interest in the 28-year-old lefty, who
went 17-11 with a 2.70 for the Indians and Brewers last year.
Sabathia - who reportedly was offered a fiveyear, $100 million deal to remain in Milwaukee and offered arbitration Monday by the Brewers - is from the Bay Area.
According to several sources, the Giants have money to invest in Sabathia, but can't come close to the Yankees' deal.
A week ago it was reported the Angels were preparing an offer for Sabathia, but that seems to have cooled.
That leaves the Yankees as the only horse in the race. And since the offer has been out there for more than two weeks, it makes you wonder why Sabathia hasn't inhaled it.
As for A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe, free-agent hurlers in whom the Yankees have interest, the Braves were linked to Burnett and a five-year deal that some don't believe is real. The Yankees are wary of a fifth year for Burnett.
Lowe wants an East Cost team with a chance to win. That means the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets or Phillies.
One day after the Yankees didn't offer Andy Pettitte
arbitration, no new developments in the standoff surfaced.
The Yankees want the 36-year-old lefty back but not for the $16 million he made last year, when he went 14-14 with a 4.54 ERA
and was bothered by a left shoulder that was examined and found not to have structural damage. Their offer was for $10 million.
Because Pettitte said at the end of the year that his return wouldn't be about money and that he would pitch for the Yankees or retire, there are some heads within the Yankee organization shaking over Pettitte's strategy, which includes talking to the
Dodgers, who are interested.
Of course, when Ryan Dempster got four years for $52 million from the Cubs ($13 million a year), Pettitte had to believe he
was worth $3 million a year more than Dempster

The main purpose of this article was to talk about how a couple New York City pastry chefs got tried of being in the shadows of other chefs in the area. The reason why they were tried of being in the shadow of these other chefs is even if you became an executive pastry chef or a corporate pastry chef you would still have to report to the chef because though all of this he or she is still in charge of the money. They are not sitting around taking this anymore though. One of the major things that they are doing is opening their own dessert based restaurants. They are not just serving desserts in these restaurants; they are also serving savory or so called regular food. They are not just serving these foods in the way you or me are use to eating it they are putting a little twist on it. Some chefs are using sugar or other ingrents to sweeten some of this food up so it is not that tradionual. This not the only thing they are doing different though. Some of the other things they are doing different are substations sugar or using modified sugars when it is possible for them to do it. The reason they are doing this is so when you eat the food you would have less of a sweet impression left from the food. The other thing that was talked about in this article is the stories of some of the pastry chefs in the New York City area. Some of the pastry chefs included was people like Will Goldfarb, Sam Mason, and Jehangir Mehta. Will Goldfarb opened up a restaurant called Room 4 Dessert in SoHo. Sam Mason opened up a restaurant called Tailor which is also located in SoHo. Jehangir Mehta opened up a restaurant called Graffiti Food and Wine Bar in the West Village of Manhattan. As you can see from the example of chefs that I have just stated there is more than just person trying to make this change. In conclusion New York City pastry chefs are tried of being in the shadow of other chefs.

He worked in the kitchen of Alinea, an avant-grade restaurant located in Chicago. He received a culinary degree from the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. He then went on to work at Per Se restaurant located in New York. He did not feel that he truly made until a freezer broke down and he was forced to remake a tray of melted confections. Alex Stupak, a pastry chef, asked him to spray a tray of just frozen ganache with liquid chocolate. He was twenty-nine when this event happen. Even with this happening he realized that he was the only black chef working there. This was the same problem he had we he worked at Per Se and when he was attend in the French Culinary Institute. This led him to wonder what happen to all the black chefs in this industry. At the same time blacks use to always work the stoves in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Even we he told his family that he was leaving his job of six year as a client manager working for ACNielsen to become a chef his parents thought he was taking a step backward instead of forward. Out of the twenty-seven thousand students attending the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, N.Y, in 2001 there were only eighty-five students listed themselves as African-American. Joe Brown, the chef at the Melange Cafe in Cherry Hill, N.J remembers being choked and called a racial epithet by the chef. Lance Whitney Knowling, a chef at the Indigo Smoke located in Montclair,N.J. said he told a restaurateur that he was black their response was “you’re kidding”. These are some examples of some struggles faced by some black chefs. Not everything I read was bad though. For example Keith Williams was offered an executive chef job at a chic restaurant called BG.

Jeanne M. Malloy

Jeanne M. Malloy use a lot of difference reasons for explaining Poe’s reasoning for writing certain things in the “The Pit and the Pendulum”. I will first tell you about the main points she used. Next I will talk about how she argued those points. Then I am going to talk about some of the flaws that she made. Finally I will talk about what could have been added to help her argument. I will now talk about the main points she use for her argument.
To begin the author uses different points to prove the point of her argument. The first main point she used was Poe’s use of Apocalyptic (biblical) Imagery. To expand on this point she gives the reader reasons why Poe uses this. One of the reasons she uses was “Poe was attracted to the Bible’s “language of despair”.” The next main point she talked about was Poe’s use of the writing style, English Romantic, which she compared to the works of other authors. Some of these authors include M. H. Abrams, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Not only did they write in the same style as Poe they also used Apocalyptic Imagery. She then went on to explain some of the story line in “The Pit and the Pendulum”. There were even times were she was explains lines of the story. She finally went on to talk about the change in the psyche of his characters. I will talk about how she argued these points.
The next thing I am going to talk about is how the author argued some of the main points she used prove her argument. The first way she argued Poe’s use of Apocalyptic Imagery is she gave verses from the bible. One of the verses she used was “ I saw seven golden candlesticks: and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.” The next way she argued her point is she was constancy comparing his work to the work of other writers. She then used lines from the story “The Pit and the Pendulum.” The final ways she proved her argument is when she was talking about the psyche of his characters she gave many details and examples. I will now talk about some of the flaws she made.
The final thing I will now talk about some of the flaws she made. One of the big flaws that she made that I caught was she stated that Christ had gotten married. The only other flaw that I was able to catch was it was confusing and out of order. The final thing I am going to talk about is things that could have been added.
The Final thing I will talk about is some thing that could have been added to make her argument clearer and less confusing. One thing I would have added is more quotes from some of Poe’s other work. The reason I would do this is it seemed that Poe got lost in the all the comparison of other writers. The only other thing I would have changed is the way the order in which it is put. The reason I would do that is after awhile it started to get confusing.
In conclusion Jeanne M. Malloy use a lot of difference reasons for explaining Poe’s reasoning for writing certain things in the “The Pit and the Pendulum”. To begin the author uses different points to prove the point of her argument. The first main point she used was Poe’s use of Apocalyptic (biblical) Imagery. The next thing I am going to talk about is how the author argued some of the main points she used prove her argument. The final thing I will now talk about some of the flaws she made. These are some things she talked about.

kate Chopin's comparison

Steven Elmore
October 30, 2008 AP English

In a lot of ways Kate Chopin’s life influenced her writing. The reason I say this because in her stories the women’s husbands cause them pain in someway. Another way her life influence her writing is some of her stories was writing about people she had met in her life time. The final reason I am going to use is in some of her stories the women loose their husband or a male figure that was in their life. These are the reasons why I say that her life influenced her writing.
The first reason I say her life influenced her writing is in her stories the women’s husband cause them pain in some kind of way immediate or later on. One example of this is in Desiree’s Baby Desiree’s husband in so little words disowned her which eventually lead to her death. Another explain of this is in The Story Of An Hour the news of her husband’s death cause her to grieve then cause a feeling of happiness then finally a feeling of disappointment , and because of all these sudden feeling lead to her death. Now the reason I say this could be influenced by her life is her own husband caused her a little pain. The reason I say this is her husband couldn’t even support her and their kids which is the man’s job. Since he was not a good a business man they had to move from their home in New Orleans to a small Louisiana parish. Because of these moves she met the woman she wrote The Awakening which caused her to be prosecuted and tortured. This led her to becoming struck with mute. These are the reasons why I say her characters were influence by her life experiences.
The second reason I am going to use is some of her short stories were writing about people she met in her life time. The reason why I say this is her short story The Awakening was written about a woman who was infamous in the French Quarter. She met her while living in Louisiana. Another reason why I say this is some of her earlier short stories were written about different people met and knew while staying in Louisiana. In a way I guess in a way it could be inferred that if she never had stayed in Louisiana she would not have been inspired to write some of the stories that she is famous for now. These are the reason why I say some of her short stories were written about people she met which is another reason why her life influenced her writing.
The final reason I am going to use why her life influence her writing is the women in her stories loose their husbands or a male figure that was in their life. An example of this is in Desiree’s Baby Desiree lost her husband because he though that she was of color. He though this because of out their child came out looking. An example of this is in The Story of an Hour Mrs. Mallard thought she lost her husband because her husband’s friend Richard thought he died which cause mixed emotion which lead to her death. So in a way even though he was still live she lost him because she died. This could be influenced from her life because she lost her husband herself. She even had her father die when she was only five years of age. It is because of these reasons that I believe that her life influenced the cause of her characters lost.
In conclusion I believe that her life experiences influenced her writing. first reason I say her life influenced her writing is in her stories the women’s husband cause them pain in some kind of way immediate or later on. The second reason I am going to use is some of her short stories were writing about people she met in her life time. The final reason I am going to use why her life influenced her writing is the women in her stories loose their husbands or a male figure that was in their life
