"A great judge remembers how hard it is to be good." Ken Macrorie from "Circle of Implication" in College English 1967, page 459.
The context for this quote was Macrorie talking about how we are automatically judging when we decide to write. Just choosing to write about something is applying some judgement on the topic: "This is important", "this is beautiful", "this is wrong", etc.
I think this is good advice for anyone approaching a paper that is evaluative or argumentative in nature. It helps a person to remember empathy, and taking an empathetic position will only make a person more credible, more believable. As we all have experienced in life, taking a position of extreme judgement or anger only hurts our arguments in the end, squashing the logos aspect of any argument. It just sends the wrong vibe and makes ap person seem too heated or emotional about the topic to analyze it logically. That's why this quote appealed to me. It's a great view to adopt when writing, and it encourages empathy; which in the end can help me to understand the subjects of my topic even better.
"The best judge is an empathetic one."
In my imitation, I used a word choice that would sum up the last bit of Macrorie's quote: empathetic. I went with imitating the structure of those Chinese proverbs, trying to put judge and empathy in the same context in order to say they are one in the same--or should be.

Cracked.com cares about grammar
This article was on Cracked.com a couple of days ago, and I thought everyone might get a kick out of it (because it's Cracked, borderline-offensive material does appear, and it's probably NSFW, just FYI):
7 Commonly Corrected Grammar Errors (That Aren't Mistakes)
The author includes a nod to the long battle between the prescriptivists and the descriptivists, which the descripitivists keep winning, as well as picking up the performative technique of including grammar mistakes throughout the article like we saw Joseph Williams use in The Phenomenology of Error at the beginning of the semester.
The article takes an approach Crystal would approve of, for the most part, as it's examining how many of these so-called "grammar mistakes" that part of the population gets up in arms about have been used in common language for centuries.
But he does throw in a rather Trussian barb to apostrophe abusers at the end.

To Classmates - err Tiffany but not
I have placed the quote at the bottom rather than at the top this time, so that I can say fuck it why not, an then just to do it. I also was hearing classmates saying that they didn't blog, for whatever reason, so I assume you all don't read this anyway, and if you do, then this is actually geared toward an Ex... yes indeed.
"This is an old well-known phrase that I have always loved and have made a part of my life. Although this phrase speaks for itself I love the meaning it has and the encouragement it gives when life gets rough and I find myself having a hard time with things I cannot change"
Guess reason DOS for this dusey. Times up. I can't spell "dusey" - dewsy? doosee? Have we read each others' posts since Janruuarryeey? I just wanted to type "fuck", SLUT should be good too...
Notice Tiffany's "dash-skewer" at "well-known" (didn't HAVE to skewer)... ya know, I just realized I have a hard time caring about writing this type of thing if no one will read it and if I am not being challenged more. I could challenge myself but time is an issue and who does that? I could just type words like tacit piss tacit words what is the difference the piss I guess the difference thank goodness and there you have it: STYLE.

Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem- Means to cease the day.
This is an old well-known phrase that I have always loved and have made a part of my life. Although this phrase speaks for itself I love the meaning it has and the encouragement it gives when life gets rough and I find myself having a hard time with things I cannot change. In the last few weeks of school, I have a lot of projects on my plate and with everything I am trying to complete, so that I can graduate, I am finding myself often stressed out and unmotivated, like many of my collegues. However, when I think about these two words it reminds me that anything is possible I just have to hang in there and keep working. I know my hard work will pay off soon, but with everything I am juggling it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, I often have to remind myself to cease the day and make each moment of my time, work, and efforts to count. If I want to graduate I cannot give up now.
Immitaion: Conquer today and tomorrow will be your victory.
To all my fellow classmates who feel the same as I do, don't give up. We are almost done!!

4/21 Blog Post
Things to do in Old New Mexico: Die, watch other people die, make pottery.
Evan V. Symon, Cracked.com
This simple caught my eye because it does seem to have an element of truth. Have you ever been to New Mexico? There doesn't seem to be much of anything there, except for dirt and brush. Of course, there's Albuquerque and the other Las Vegas...but that seems to be it.
I thought the author did something interesting when he says all there is to do is to "die, watch other people die...". But then he switches it up a bit at the end and adds "make pottery". He seems to break a pattern, which gives the sentence a tone of humor. The description of "Old New Mexico" is also interesting.
My imitation would be something like:
Things to do in Lowdown Mile High Denver: Get high, get higher, try not to run over any of the obnoxious bicyclers as they dart in to traffic.

Oldie Goodie Quickie
"Don't quote me boy, I ain't said shit" - Eric "Eazy E" Wright
I like this line because it is so often quoted, and it implies a sort of self-important sense that Eazy thinks he is quite quotable. It says, don't quote me because what I say is not important. And others have responded by quoting the very line, numerous times and in a variety of ways, for the last two decades. I always wonder how prescient Eazy E may have been, toying with people by saying something he knew would reverse psychologize everyone and cause the opposite of the request, "don't quote me". Then I remember he was a rapper, that this is a rap song about chillin' in the 'hood, and that Eazy was into a lot of things, likely not including caring about any of this at all. The line might have just come to him as a clever way to complete the hook for the song. Don't quote me on it.
I thought it would be interesting to revisit my first Parole post - RIGHT QUICK. It might not be interesting but here it is anyway. I still agree with myself that: "I like this line because it is so often quoted, and it implies a sort of self-important sense that Eazy thinks he is quite quotable. It says, don't quote me because what I say is not important. And others have responded by quoting the very line, numerous times and in a variety of ways, for the last two decades." I also agree with the rest, more or less, but I would certainly write the whole thing differently, if for no other reason than I am not who I was then. I also have more words to use to talk about it. Hey Liz, it worked! So this is definitely low-style. Also a verb-style for certain. It has a tacit persuasion, which is where I came up with the "don't quote me because what I say is not important" interpretation (although it doesn't seem all that tacit, but he never says what he means outright). The punctuation, a.k.a. hieroglyphics, are mine, it would be interesting to see if in the early 90s Eazy E used commas and apostrophes when writing his lyrics. I am sure there is a lot more to say, but I have had enough for now.

Mark the Perfect Man
"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous man has his feet firmly planted on the Rock: the ungodly man builds everything on shifting sand."
This is Psalm 37:37. It is interesting to me because of the style of the punctuation. Most of the quotes that I have looked at so far have been because of the words - their order, their meaning, the word choice, etc. I have never really looked deeply at punctuation. I am interested in these hieroglyphics because the use of so many subsequent colons seems like the Hoffmans would love it, Crystal would be interested in the first time so many colons were used one after the other, Truss would shoot the writer dead or beat him about the cranium with a bamboo shoot, Strunk and his protege would roll around in their graves - thinking that if they were alive they would have to break this glowning-miniature-color-typewriter, Trimble would encourage the author to avoid such a thing, and Lanham would say: "oh hey, that isn't hoitioteulocoptertelathon is it!". Grammar Moves guys, probably about where Trimble is..?
I like that the colon after colon after colon visually and stylistically (and TACITLY) demonstrates that there is an order to these things; that one logically follows, or comes from, or is the antecedent. I also appreciate what it says to a point. It does also sound cool. Brilliant.

BLog post for week 4/10-4/12
"A small garden well tended is far more comely than a large garden that shows over ambition."
Writing With Style, John Trimble
I liked this metaphor for writing. I like the imagery of imagining writing as a garden. It works. I think it's a popular view among people that write because once when I was trying to explain the process of writing to my ex husband I used a gardening analogy. I just like the wisdom packed in this small sentence. And, that's one way it works. It goes along with what Liz was saying in class last week about our author analysis and how we sometimes try to do too much, focusing on too many things and, therefore, losing quality. It's better to focus on one thing and get the most out of it.
Sometimes it's best to give your full attention to a small issue rather than give little attention to many issues.
In my imitation I tried to say the same thing without using metaphor. Maybe by doing that I expanded the audience. SOme people may not care for gardens, and that would make them lose on what was being said. But I kept the wisdom of the words the original sentence carried.

Blog Post 4/14/12
“You know what that reminds me of? I used to practice law when I was a kid and it’s that old joke about the kid who kills both his parents and then pleads for mercy because he’s an orphan. Who caused these jobs to be lost? Men and women? Before we came into office, the six months before, 3.5 million jobs lost. Before I lowered my right hand on that magnificent day, on January 20th with a million people watching, seven hundred and fifty some thousand jobs lost. Another four million before the first job bill we could get passed and begin to rectify this.”
— Vice President Joe Biden in response to the Romney campaign’s claim that 92% of the jobs lost in the recession were women’s.
I noticed that Biden started this quote with an anecdote, which is a tactic detailed in Adios, Strunk and White by Gary & Glynis Hoffman. I don't think the usage of an anecdote works here, however. It's better for an anecdote to actually lead into whatever it is the speaker is trying to elaborate, but as I read, it seemed that his anecdote didn't have much to do with the rest of the statement. Perhaps that's because this may be part of a larger speech or something.

“O mio babbino caro” FREE!
“O mio babbino caro”
My window to the world that didn’t seem to want me
Have you ever started a story, or a book or whatever, and wondered why the goofy ass author referred to that book or story specifically? And you thought, “why would I read this crap, why would I read a story if it didn’t make me pretend and take me away from the dumbass world around me..?" Freighting or Telescoping? Yes, Italian at first, but after? Low-style and not just due to attitude or "style" but the words - look at the words man! (Dash Skewer) - and the actual... you know, the silly-multi-syllabic-babble-none-sense (melted-together-word). And then the randomly joined-together-words that make no sense are..? Solve the puzzle andIi will give you half of a half of a late ticket FREE!

Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan
This excerpt from Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. I am reading this book for a reading project in my Teaching Reading K-6 course.
Her face crumbled. "Senor," she said, choking back tears. "Have you not heard? My...my papa is dead." Senore Rodgriguez stared blankly, then said, "Que pasa, nina?What happened?" She took a quivery breath. She told the story, she watched the grief twist Senor Rodriguez's face and overtake him as he sat down on the patio bench, shaking his head. She felt as if she were in someone else's body, watching a sadscene but unable to help. p.25.
This passage, along with the rest of the book, is very interesting to me because of the use of voice and the implementation of the spanish language. The story of Esperanza Rising takes place in Mexico and California where the spanish hertiage and culture is dominant. What I love about this passage, and the book, is that the author brings that spanish culture into her writing. As we can see in the above passage, there are several times where the author inserts spanish words or phrases into her writing. I think this is an interesting approach, considering how Esperanza's story is heavily influenced by her Mexican culture. I also think that because Esperanza and her family are spanish, having the author add spanish words and phrases into her text help contribute to the voice of Esperanza and her story and really bring her story to life. Also, as the author inserts the spanish words or phrases, she also writes them in English to help the reader understand what is being said. I think the use of spanish words helps the reader to understand Eperanza's cutlure, her struggles, and dramatic events that happen in her life. Lastly, the authors use of emotion and expression is fantastic in this book because she really draws the reader in and makes them feel as if they are living Esperanza's life. She creates a great sense of emotiona and really draws upon our human senses to bring Epernaza's tragic events to life. I love this book!

"“It is a word. Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.”", [Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind]
This has come up so often in class I could not pass up using this quote. This a very verb style way of writing and it humanizes words but shows you their infinite strength as well. Especially in places where words wring. Also a form of tacit persuasion as well as verb style with distinct and vivid action imagery. Even sentences have the power to evoke love or break a person. He also uses a periodic style which makes you pay attention to the words he is using and by making the whole paragraph periodic you pay attention and almost feel the strength of the words.
Patrick is using telescoping by zooming in on the topic of words within the field of names. He makes sure to spend an entire paragraph on the power of words in the course of an entire conversation about becoming a namer; knowing the secret name of objects like the secret name of fire or of stone, and once you know the name you can control it. This is very much like writing and style choices, once you know and understand the nature of a technique you can control it and use it effectively in your own writing.

Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
"If you cannot protect yourself, then how can you ever hope to protect others? Strength Dante; everything depends on it." -Vergil (A Character from the video game series: "Devil May Cry"
The true epitome of verb-style rests in this as well as noun in my opinion also. The mere fact that he is directing such a passionately heated topic towards his blood brother in arms, Dante is truly a force to be debated with because, they both have outstanding fighting capabilities as well as vigor accompanied by a fascinatingly and nearly oxy-morotoic composition of their very beings/morals. They possess the powers of becoming super-strong "Devil Forms" (Devil Trigger Mechanism) although they defend humanity and other innocents from foreign higher-powers that seek total annihilation of humanity and all that is just. This quote remained with me well after seeing it in a fighting game that I personally own called Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. This quote is one of Vergil's win quotes after he defeats an opponent, winning the entire match-up for however many rounds set by the player. Hieroglyphics are used here with the abrupt and sweet pause that lasts even only a few seconds before he continues on with the rest of his dialogue. Isocolon rests within this rather faintly though, and the power of it seems to be deflected by the words of the passage alone. The humbling lens is by far the most powerful and "strong" of the techniques here that I see offhand. It in the most literal sense operates that way anyway in order to humble Dante and create a repoire between the two so that Dante can realize how much more he can still develope despite being as strong as he already is; even without the "Devil Trigger." (I've noticed many videogames borrow and use many mix-ups, martianing lenses and saturated verb-styles associated with "Devil.")

Alan Wake: "American Nightmare" For Xbox Live Arcade
"To change reality, you nudge it into the right direction. Your version of it is there, waiting; it wants to come true. All you need to do is to help it achieve its potential. The devil is in the details.
You change the details of the scene to match those on the page. If you get the details right, if you achieve that critical mass, the shift will come, and the rest of your new reality overrides the existing paradigm.
The lie -- no matter how outrageous -- is now the truth."
I recently decided to try and complete the second installation of the Alan Wake series for Xbox 360. I narrowly defeated the first game with a duty for finding the many scattered manuscripts through the game that actually foretell of events prior to them taking place. This stood out to me as a game series recommended for both those who crave non-stop action along with fairly quality storytelling in the midst of madness. Alan had to re-gather elements of a scene in which the "darkness" of his mind and what he has written seems to have birthed or re-manifests since the events of the initial game (literally called: Alan Wake). The protagonist (Alan Wake) in this game, must continue to battle the darkness spawned and woven out of the fabric of his very own creativity story-writing. This could also be symbolic of the daily struggles or pangs of writing in terms of the discovery process. Another verb-oriented style equipped with a riveting appeal towards the concept of "Devil's Advice" that we most recently learned about in and outside of class. Ironically, Mr. Wake even mentions "Devil" in the passage above. He further re-iterates this astounding idea with the notion of "re-writing history", thus, it can be assumed that he is inferring to us that one must view situations from all perspectives before re-writing them to fit the current needs of the individual or entities themselves. Slight telescoping here acts as a device for lensing/honing in on the target/premise of it all, and beginning steps towards enacting upon a solution for that. It seems also that a minute form/degree of time-warping is in effect here since the future and getting to that future is so imminent although I am still uncertain on this (I am not far enough in the game to know for certain as of yet, if the game even reveals this at all).

Soul Calibur 5
Transcendent history and the world.....a tale of souls and swords.-Soul Calibur Series (I personally resonate with the latest installment of this video-game titled myself, Soul Calibur 5).
This verb-style sentence stood out firmly for me in a number of ways. It captured a sense of urgency similar to a call to battle anthem or theme. This charged eagerness for it also being as though I am a fan of abstract as well as strength-building tasks (primarily of the physical sort). It also contains a heavy running style which causes the reader to flow with the fast pace of the sentence since a long pause here would ultimately kill or dampen the entire thrill of the occassion. Freighting is in place yet, in one of its earliest stages; greater emphasized by the pairings of two subjects and the details associated with them respectively: Transcending history in relation to the world as a whole and the tale that it tells which is exhibited through souls and the swords that they wield in order to tell their share part in the making of history.

Cliche Gumbo
I would rather burn out than fade away,
I would rather be saved by criticism than ruined by praise,
I would rather learn everything about something than something about everything.
I like all of these for various reasons but on a style level, they are also magnificent. The best way to cliche is in a low style. The use of oppositions and especially chisamus is also always effective when crafting a cliche (I did not make these but they are variations of things hve heard before). The persuasion isn't really tacit because the binaries literally state the hypotaxis, the fact that one is a better choise than the other. Trimble would want a stronger (clearer) thesis, multiple drafts, and some quality evidence to come next and say why the one is better than the other. Truss would shit herself because I feel she feels she is above cliches, and Crystal would engage me in a discusion of the etymology of these cliches and the words that make them. Adios has some odd name for using cliches but I don't know what. Sometimes a cliche is annoying only because it is so goddamn true (and obvious).

Truss would shit herself because I feel she feels she is above cliches, and Crystal would engage me in a discusion of the etymology of these cliches and the words that make them. Adios has some odd name for using cliches but I don't know what. Sometimes a cliche is annoying only because it is so goddamn true (and obvious).
