I thought that the idea talked about in class of politicians using their own authoring of books to create ethos was rather interesting, and totally true. To me it seems like a good way for them to get their names out there but at the same time it does not really force them to own up to their ideas; in the sense that first are they really writing their own book and with how much help from the background crew designed to make them look good, and also because how many people actually read those books or have any idea what the majority of the contents has to do with? On a side note, honestly when I wrote my entry it was kind of late and I was tired, so I said things I may not have said under normal circumstances, particularly the self-proclaimed mini-rant, but in a way I am glad it made it into my posting, one cannot always be rainbows and butterflies.
My randomly chosen classmate to respond to for today was Katie Beason. I think she did a really good job summarizing the chapter, and included a little of how some of it, specifically the use of big words relates back to her, both of which were good. It would be nice if she split things up into paragraphs though, since reading one big block of text made it easy to lose place and also was a bit overbearing. I would like to see some more of her ideas in her posts as well.
