MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
In watching this video about how gamers change the world, I believe that although she provided her audience with many statistics such as how from kindergarden to graduation of high school, kids will spend 10,000 hours playing on their game system and as well as how there's 3 billion hours of game play each year. The statistics are large and powerful, but I believe it doesn't quite appeal to the audience because she blended them in so abruptly that the audience had no time to comprehend the large quantities that people spend playing on their gaming systems. This speaker used many Ethos related ideas in her argument as she put the emotion a gamer has when on the verge of a "Epic Win" and attempted to place the audience in the position of a gamer who feels although the only life he can win is the one he has created in a game. Personally I agree with the fact that if these gamers left their video game lives behind them and applied the feeling they get from an "Epic Win" to the real world, I believe that the brilliance that is put forth in games truly could change the world and all the people with no imagination in it to strive and put forth their own abilities to achieve an "Epic Win" in life.

KENT HARUF
Kent Haruf in his literary analysis in "Writers on Writing" (11-20-2000), explores the creative ways that writers enter their creative zone and begin their masterpieces on paper. Kent depicted his findings through exploring how writers from John Cheever, to Maya Angelou open their minds by putting themselves either in the shoes of the character their writing about or just by putting themselves in social awkward positions due to the fact that it makes them feel comfortable and not restricted to the compounds of their earth bound bodies. Kent through his article tells how authors through their mysterious writing habits leave this world and lock themselves in their minds and find peace in their thoughts away from all the chaos that the world produces on a daily basis. Kent in this article was targeting an audience that is interested in how authors beat writers block and overcome the overwhelming ordeals that writers face when writing a book. He reveals this by telling the reader that he himself has a special writing area where he escapes the world and although its a strange area to be but it fulfills the task of escaping the world without going far from home.

CHAPTER 2
CHAPTER 2
Joe Hardin in his literary analysis in "Choices 2.0" (2010) argues that writers today are believing they can write due to formulas that have been written up to form what are associated with stories. Joe startes his reasoning by listing titles of books that haven't succeeded on their journy through the audiences world. He progresses to state that real writing is studied multiple times until it is perfect and stories today are being found with multiple errors, as well taking ideas from other successful writers. Joe states that writers are being lazy and need to learn how to really read. Joe wants the readers to know that literature is a delicate process and not something that can be put into a formula. Writers need to put more creativity in their pieces and have their readers follow along in an enjoyable way and not in a jagged path to confusion.
