SCRIBE NOTES ON TIME! (031808) & STRESS RELIEVING RAMBLES!
I don’t want to talk about the rumor/fact that Eldridge received a parking ticket today for speeding, I want to talk about today’s class (paralipsis)!
We started off to a slow start by being assigned fallacies to apply to our stances on which was better: day or night.
List of Fallacies you need to know:
- Equivocation
- Either/Or
- Faulty (Generalization)
- Faulty Analogy
- Begging the Question
- Ad Hominum
- Ad Populum
- Red Herring
- Complex Question
If you don’t know this already, its because you are a) not skilled in the art of modern rhetoric, or most likely b) you did not read. So go read.
While this was all happening, we were supposed to be doing detail 17 as well.
Then Eldridge says that its supposed to be “20! 20! 20!” but we’ve taken 40 minutes already, so we need to hurry and wake up (zeugma).
Then we reviewed the packet we were supposed to read yesterday regarding rhetorical strategies and Joan of Arc.
STORY TIME! (just because I don’t have time to kill).
So I was walking to English today, and this guy is all up in my space by walking extremely close to me and i tried to yield and give way like cars do, because I thought he was a freshman and was in a rush to class, but he refused to go around and proceeded to walk too close to me for comfort. This was not a long distance, but literally, I can feel him breathing on me, and I had the greatest fear that he would walk too close and misjudge distance and his crotch would run into me somehow. But anyways, luckily I arrived generally in good shape, if not in a good mood.
And then, It reminded me of those Japanese people who stand WAY too close to you in the forever long Disneyland queues. I mean, I understand that Japan is a small country, and that it is very dense and all in some parts so they gotta like compact themselves and its just a social thing, but seriously… too close! space! space!
And now, for something more class related…
Norah [to Sassone]: Are you addicted to it [coffee]?
Sassone: No, I just don’t feel the same when I don’t drink it. It’s… I dunno…
Elisa: It’s called WITHDRAWAL!
Reminds me of that one saying where crazy people don’t know they’re crazy…
