SSSOOONNNGGGG!

The song I am going to choose is not really what I would call special to me but it is a song going out to women everywhere about cheating boyfriends, which I believe is a great song and it makes me believe more in woman. The song I am going to talk about is “Think before he cheats” by Carrie Underwood. In her song she talks about all the things she does to her ex boyfriends car once she finds out that he cheated on her with another woman. She “digs her keys into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive, carves her name into his leather seats, takes a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashes a hole in all four tires”, just so that way he thinks before the next time that he cheats. ;) This song makes me laugh because I think guys under estimate girls when it comes to how they treat them. Carrie Underwood makes sure she shows this guy that he needs to learn how to treat girls and not just play them like a little game and it is a very powerful song. I do not believe in cheating and do not think that any guy should ever mess with a girls head and be unfaithful. Most men do it, but every woman needs to find a man that wont!

Five Elements of Rhetorical Situations
Purpose: The purpose in her song I think is to show men that they should not cheat on their significant other because of what COULD happen.
Audience: All women who have ever had a cheating boyfriend.
Genre: Country
Stance: She has a very angry stance I feel like by the sound of the song.
Media: American Idol.

Confused Freshman

---Coming into Wright State University I had absolutely no idea what was going on. From where my classes were, what building was what, how to get from building to building in the underground hallways that they have and parking arrangements. I came into campus a day before my classes had actually started to find out where they were. It was so confusing, because I had not been on campus more than once in my whole life. I was walking around trying to look like I knew what was going on when I really had no clue at all. It started off bad as soon as I parked. I did not know that the yellow spots were for teachers, definitely parked in one. I walked clear across campus trying to find the building I was supposed to be in which little did I know was right where I started my long journey in the beginning. I walked all over campus to Russ Engineering Center and back to Burt where I found my best friend Amanda who is currently a sophomore at WSU. She showed me the buildings and explained to me that most of the buildings I was going to be in spelled out “FOAM”. She showed me the basement hallways that attach all the buildings and showed me my classes. If I would have never came in a day early and found all my classes, my first day of college would have been a living nightmare. I was the definition of a stupid freshman. :(
