Emmer for Governer!

     The Winona Daily News put out this article about Tom Emmer. The ad is trying to get you to vote for Emmer. The ad uses persuasion and is informative. The ad uses claim to tell you about how Emmer will do good in office. I think the ad is good because he doesn’t tear down his opponents or do anything to be harmful to them in any way. I think I would vote for him because of the fact that he isn’t a negative person and I haven’t really seen any negative ads from him. It’s mostly the other candidates that are using negativity to tear down the opponents and build themselves up.  Try this link to get to the article I used Emmer Article

Books? Banned?!

     I don’t think books should be banned because of just one person. If it were an entire country than maybe it could be banned from just there, but just because one person doesn’t like one part of the book doesn’t mean it should be banned. I think one person can freely express their feelings about the book and see if others agree. One person may not like a book but that doesn’t mean that everyone else around them also doesn’t think it’s appropriate. Once it is banned people might want to buy it even more because it’s banned. If the book is banned the author will have put all of that work into hardly anything. I think it’s pointless.
