Movie Review

So your thinking of going to see a movie huh? Everyone loves going to the movies. Horror, comedy, action, and romance are all popular and well known genres of movies. So much to pick from. 
However, without a bit of spice, this topics can quickly become cliche in the eyes of a movie viewer. They can't stand on their own. A nice blend is needed from a wide arrange of genres to make a good movie. 
In the case of Warm Bodies this film has put a twist on the classic zombie movie and has had heated reviews by audiences. 
This film has been so strongly received by it's clever use of humor. A zombie with a introspective monologue? Who wouldn't want that?! This film also has a lot of surprisingly -pun intended- heart warming moments that reach out to the audience and help them connect with the characters onscreen.  
Hidden themes are also woven into the movie and it's amazing what you can just get from the characters names. R and Julie, now what famous story does that sound like? Don't know? You'll figure it out after you go see the movie. 
This is not just any monster movie, and lets just say, it goes a lot farther then any Twilight movie ever has. The story played out by R and Julie is striking and intriguing. It's something fresh for an audience to experience and a defiant 'go to' for ASU students.

STEP TWO: Develop Context: how do these stakeholders interact with one another? Do they have the same interests, attitudes, or ideas? What do they agree on and what do they disagree on? Pick one of the debates from the first page and develop a profile for each stakeholder: what are their commonly held values, objectives, or beliefs? What kinds of information or experiences get factored into their decisions?

 Music Program

#1
 The music department at the middle school will consist of teachers and staff members that work with the students and have some say with what happens to the music programs. If the music program is cut then these staff members would lose their jobs at the school so in order to keep their jobs it’s in their best interest to reconsider the music program cuts. These people also work with the students and are able to get their input on the music program cut and how it could affect them.

#2
Board of Directors have a large say in what happens in the school curriculum. They basically organize how a school should be run and if influenced, can contribute a lot to a cause. They want to run an organized school and they normally try to incorporate many different areas into there decision based choices. They have a large amount of power when it is concerning how a school is ran.

#3
The superintendent often known as chief education officer and they have pull on what happens to the school system. They have a large oversight of what happens at the school and they take care of large business concerning the school. If they were to be influenced they could bring up the music cut to the board of directors. They generally want their school system to be running smoothly and if the budget allows they can come up with ways to keep the program.

STEP THREE: Research: What would be the best method to represent or address these perspectives in a proposal essay?

#1 Talk about how people in the community will lose their jobs if the music program is cut. Not only teachers, but outside tutors and instrument shops that helped the school and kids in acquiring instruments and helping the students learn their skills. Often times these people go through the school to get students to teach and sell to but if the school drops their music programs then the tutors and shops will not have the ability to offer students correct teaching and instruments.

#2
The proposal essay could incorporate how learning an instrument can help flex students cognitive abilities and how reading and playing music can be beneficial to the schools educational system and academic achievement. Finding studies done on music education in schools can help this argument and will help the essay with it’s credibility.

#3
The essay can talk about how music is an outlet for students and that for some students it’s a way to keep them out of trouble and that drug and alcohol abuse are lower in schools that have music programs. Helping kids get through life is an important part of school programs and with music kids can express themselves in non-harmful ways.

Example 2: Proposal Argument

     In the second student example, the student is proposing that the textbooks ASU purchases should be converted to electronic books that can be read on Ipads or Kindles. I agree with this argument because I find that the textbooks cast a lot of money and some chapters we don't even use in the books. 

If we were to get e-books students would also get a device to use it on. Technology like a Ipads or Kindles barely weight anything, where as text books are much heavier.For students that carry around their books from class to class, that means that they could have health concerns dealing with back problems. With e-books on weightless Ipads and Kindles, back problems are no longer a concern. With e-books students could also change text size for students that have bad eyesight, and other students can install auto-readers if they have difficulties with reading.

     This audience is made up of educators. Educators want to help their students any way they can. With the world getting more and more technological, it is important to keep up with the changes as a school system and it is also important that the students know how to adapt to the environment around them. Many students already know how to work technology and it is about time that the schools learn to improve the way that they teach its students. By getting student technology that helps improve work performance, the students will be able to understand more of what they are learning and for a school that is what they are set out to do.

     The writer doesn't give any personal stories, but they do quote a few sources in their work. Of the sources in their work they didn't correctly quote them. I didn't feel that the author was trying to reach out to the audience's emotional appeals. I would say that on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being of very strong ethos, I would put the author's ethos at around a 2.

     I think that this material is not the best for this assignment. The logic of this paper could have been covered and explained in better detail. The author didn't stick to one topic for long and it read more like they were reading off facts, rather then trying to persuade their audience into agreeing with them. The argument seems like it is barely held together and that it could have used more rhetorical strategies to make the paper stronger.

     The research used in this paper ranges from data collection to other schools in the Arizona area. They didn't seem to properly quote the people that they were using in their paper and when a piece of evidence was brought up that used the credited material, often a sentence relating to the subject or a figure, they didn't expand on the material or the source that they used. At times there was no explanation as to how their researched material had the credentials to be placed in the paper.
