Reflection 11

  Today's lesson once again centered around arguments. We reviewed pathos, logo, and ethos. We later moved on to "Crisis Rhetoric." I learned that crisis rhetoric (much like arguments) is very multi-faceted. The facets of crisis rhetoric includes; urgency, crisis as reality, dramatic characters, policy as morality, and rhetorically generative. We were of course meant to take notes on the subjects. Apparently some of the students in my class weren't listening, so we were given homework. Frankly, I would have preferred the notes to have been used to tell whether or not you were listening or not. Homework is never not unpleasant inconveinience.

Log 13: 

 I jolt awake, startled by the sound of a metal tray skidding across the floor into my cell. I spring out of bed wincing at the pain in my side, I slide across the floor to the small open metal hatch I hadn’t noticed earlier. “H-EY, WAIT!” I call out, between coughs. The metal hatch slams shut promptly, it sits so flush against the walls adjacent to it you wouldn’t be able to tell it was there. I would bang on the wall...(Door? I’d assume whatever concrete sitting above where the hatch once was, is a door. How else would they have gotten me here?) But with how weak I am from dehydration, starvation, and exhaustion I’d only risk hurting myself more.

I turn around glancing at the metal tray behind me, It’s food and water. “How nice of them...” I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm and annoyance, but I cough and wheeze nonetheless. After staring distrustfully at the food for a long moment, I concede, pull it towards me, and dig in.
