Truth, Knowledge & Belief (3)

Knowledge, truth and belief can all tie together so well but they have a slight difference to them. When these three come to mind, I have to think about my personal experiences with them. Knowledge can stretch from correlating with school to what I may know about God. I sometimes question my knowledge most of the time. Truth is a powerful word because it makes me think about my friends and family. “Can I really trust friends? How do I know if they are telling the truth? “But every time I think about belief, or what I believe in, religion comes to mind. Sometimes I question my beliefs. Some days I completely believe, but other days I seriously breakdown my faith. I ask myself “WHY? or COULD THAT REALLY HAPPEN? or WILL I EVER TRULY UNDERSTAND?”

Rhetorical Analysis (2)

Do you believe that there is something terrible wrong with your government??? Would you for your freedom or what you believed was right??? Well V believed that High Chancellor Adam Sutler was the start of it all. Chancellor engineered a bioterrorist attack on London’s community. This attack killed more than 100,000 people either by virus/bacteria that was purposefully released. ”Fear got the best of you and in your panic; you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler.” This silent fear of London’s society helped Chancellor Sutler and his government, (Norsefire), to rise up to power. “All he wanted in return was your silent, obedient consent.”

V is a freedom fighter seeking change while he also pursues his very own "vendetta". He does this by first approaching the London society. In V’s grim speech he tries to convince the people of London that he is just like him by identifying their similarities. (They are equal.) “Just like any bloke.” Pathos is used numerous times as V speaks out to London. He wants his audience to believe and side with him against Chancellor Sutler.

He pleads that he was in fact that he was the one who destroyed the Old Bailey the previous night. He mentions this action to the viewers who plan to not side with V. By destroying the Old Bailey, he places fear in the hearts of these people and tries to lastly convince them that Guy Fawkes wanted November the 5th to never ever be forgot!

All About Me(1)

Well...my name is Evan Elise Babin and I am a Junior @ East Ascension High School. I was born and raised in the great state of Louisiana. I have an awesome family of two parents, Russ and Debbie, and my brother, Austin. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful family. We spend a lot of "quality time" together. I know I can always count on them to be there for me. My mom is a special Ed teacher and Deplessis Primary and my dad works at a Rubicon. My brother is 17 years old and he is a senior and Catholic High in Baton Rouge and he plans to pursue his dreams on BROADWAY!!! I am beyond proud of him and all he has achieved over his singing career. He was the lead in this past summer's musical All Shook Up.

Evan though my family is a huge part of my life, they are only half of the reason I wake up in the morning. Friends are pretty much just as important as family. Actually, I treat them as family. My two closest friends are Kirsten and Paige Held. They live in New Orleans and we play softball together. I can count on them to always answer my call when I need to talk and they know that they can always call me. We keep each other up on and off the field. I can’t say enough about these two. All three of us have dreams to become college athletes and maybe even higher than that. (Olympics) We always joke about maybe ending up at the same college and playing softball together and never loosing touch. I hope God will point all three of us in our right direction, and if it just so happens to be together than I will be more than happy.

God Bless and thank you for reading my blog,
EvanElise
