After reading Amanda Talar's article "I love my body too (I just don't write about it)" I was looking at advertisements in a whole different way. This article was about how Victoria Secrets models are always tall and super thin. Even when they are advertising for people that are not build like a model there is still "four tall, lean models standing next to the words" People get mistaken when they see that Victoria's Secrets is selling things for all types of women, they think its great of them to realize that not every women is built like that, but like I said before, the super thin girls that are modeling the product are what caught your eye. I think that Amanda makes a good argument. I truly understand what she is saying and I think that there is nothing false about what she has noticed. She gets her point across very well in this article. She makes it very clear that "Victoria’s Secret models aiming a damaging message at little girls."

Un-truth Poetry Prompt
You said I can trust you and that you won't leave
But just this week I found out that that was a un-truth
It took me so long to trust you
So long to attach to you
You were so many things to me
Couldn't you see?
You were so much more then a barn rat to me
I don't trust people, but I trusted you
Just a week ago when you told me your leaving
It broke my heart I really felt it tear in half and break into molecule pieces
Oh no, this was not the pain of loseing a little boyfriend
This was the pain of losing a family member
That's what you are to me, a family member
You were my idol, my hero, my role model
And you'r just leaving, like everyone else
I can deal with my friends leaving, my pets leaving, even when I think my moms leaving
But you, I can't deal with parting with you
You just are leaving me here alone
Do you know how horrible the pain is inside when you are left alone?
Do you know what it feels like to be told lies over and over again?
To have people leave you over and over again?
You know I need you, you know we need you
But thank you, because now I know the truth
People will never stay with you
Don't believe what they say, they won't stay
People tell un-truths, and that my friend is the only truthful thing I know
But just this week I found out that that was a un-truth
It took me so long to trust you
So long to attach to you
You were so many things to me
Couldn't you see?
You were so much more then a barn rat to me
I don't trust people, but I trusted you
Just a week ago when you told me your leaving
It broke my heart I really felt it tear in half and break into molecule pieces
Oh no, this was not the pain of loseing a little boyfriend
This was the pain of losing a family member
That's what you are to me, a family member
You were my idol, my hero, my role model
And you'r just leaving, like everyone else
I can deal with my friends leaving, my pets leaving, even when I think my moms leaving
But you, I can't deal with parting with you
You just are leaving me here alone
Do you know how horrible the pain is inside when you are left alone?
Do you know what it feels like to be told lies over and over again?
To have people leave you over and over again?
You know I need you, you know we need you
But thank you, because now I know the truth
People will never stay with you
Don't believe what they say, they won't stay
People tell un-truths, and that my friend is the only truthful thing I know

TU Tuesday Guest Speaker
Poise: I felt that he was comfortable with speaking to our class. He had good eye contact with everyone and tried to really understand us. H would not only anwser our questions, but he would also ask us questions. I think that he had a very good connection with us.
Clarity: I thought that he spoke very well. His tine of voice was very calm. He did not studer or mumble. He spoke in a low but understandable voice. I believe he talked so that everyone in the class could understand him. He did not try to make himself seem smart by using big fancy words that none of us would understand.
Volume: He spoke at a nice volume. He was not screaming, nut he was not whispering. He was at a very good volume. Everyone in the room could hear him, no one had to have him repeat anything because he wasn't talking loud enough.
Information: I thought he gave us good information. When we asked how we should start out writing he told us to start with smaller pieces and build up to a book. Although he would go off track at times, but not to badly.
Organization: I thought that he was pretty organized. Everyone was able to understand his thinking paths and everyone could follow along with the conversation.
I tried to contribute to the conversation. I did ask a few questions and was very pleased with how he responded. I am shy around people I do not know, so it took a lot to ask someone new a question in front of the whole class. I thought our class did pretty good with carrying a conversation. Some people did get a little carried away or didn't talk at all, but the people that really did try to contribute to the conversation effectively did a good job.
I think you should invite him back for your future classes to talk with. He gave very truthful answers to our questions. He was fun to talk to because he seems like he really cared about our questions and answering them well. I would think that other classes would enjoy speaking with him too. I would like to have another speaker come in because it is very useful to have someone give you their opinion on writing and how to be a successful writer. It is interesting to see peoples advice to how they would recommend becoming a writer and how they them self became a writer.
