Nick's Real Mind

Daisy- Nick seems to think she's just as frivolous and "useless" so to speak as the rest of the upper class that just parties all the time.

Gatsby- He fascinates Nick, but he is also  very suspicious of him after all the rumors and whatnot.

Tom- Nick views him as just a brute because of the way he treats women and pretends to know a lot.

Jordan- Obviously he thinks she's very deceitful, but that attracts him to her because opposites attract and he is very lonely.

The meeting in Ch. 5- It seemed to make Nick happy to see his cousin who was very hollow to be actually happy. He also felt sort of awkward since he was alone.

Meeting Tom's mistress- Nick didn't seem to want to at the beginning and would much rather not no, but since Tom insisted when he met her he seemed to think even less of Tom. Tom was clearly just in it for the "physical relationship" so to speak. He also didn't seem to think much of Myrtle besides that she wasn't the brightest and was trying really hard to fit in with the upper class despite being an outsider.

Nick's first party at Gatsby's house- He gets a real taste of what Gatsby's riches truly are. He seems to be even more intrigued by Gatsby and the rumors that surround him since everyone seems to have a different story. This also sealed Nick's attraction to him.

Commercial Propaganda

1. Plain folks- shows volunteers on the beach cleaning up the oil spill. Half truth- Won't cost taxpayer money. Who will it cost?

2. Glittering generalities- Emeril just says "we're doing a great job". Bandwagon- We're doing a great job tries to make you feel like a part of it.

3.Transfer- Bryan Clay and Lolo Jones are used to give stories of powering through hardships and coming out on top. Red herring- Doesn't really ever address BP and instead makes you think about how you support these athletes.

4. Card stacking- BP does all these good things like more jobs and investing lots in America. Observational bias- Don't point out how they were the cause and focus more on how they have done all these good things.

5. Testimonial- While Bill Kearney and the others may have a view of their respective businesses, they are not tourism experts. Non sequitur- Because this year was a good year for tourism, next year will be even better (not necessarily).

This Land is Your Land

His opinion of America is that it's a great place. You can tell by his choice of words such as "golden valley" and "sparkling sands" when describes America.You can tell he is talking about America because he says "From California to the New York Island." His message is that America is for everyone. I agree with his premise because America is much more free than most countries around the world.

Where Have You Gone Charming Billy

The author tries to make us sympathize with Private First Class Paul Berlin.The setting in the beginning is very dark and quiet. It seems like this is a new environment to all the soldiers marching in a line. PFC Paul Berlin is obviously scared and would much rather be somewhere else. He talks about pretending that he's not in war, which makes us feel bad for him.

Appeal- Ethos- It's the best therefore you should trust it.
Fallacy- Appeal to Omniscience- It's the best so it should be the first choice.

Chain Gang

The song is talking about the differences in civil rights among races. The chain gang is talking about the people who are working all day and night on getting equality. This can be seen in the way the song always talks about them moaning and saying they work so hard. It shows how they were starting to speak out against the inequalities.
