Reflection and Action

I have completed every part of the interview except the interview. The only part I need to complete is the recording process of the interview.

I will be finishing the volunteer hours tomorrow Friday the 21st at a Christmas drive for children in the Bay area who are in the lower class.

I need to start building my presentation once these hours have been completed.

four modes

Arron Tippon’s song Drill Here Drill Now is a great depiction of the southern people feel about drilling for oil. The popularity of his song and style is amazing which means his songs line up well with the millions of people listening. This song is all about how the average person in the U.S. feels about drilling for oil. It is about drilling in and around our country to utilize the vast oil supply we have. This song tells us how much safer and better our lives will be with our own supply.

The film An inconvenient Truth by Al Gore is a very left winged bias on the topic of drilling for oil. He untruthfully shows how the earth will soon die of we use oil or drill for oil. Saving and helping our planet is a very good thing but this film takes the global warming phenomenon to the next level. Also, this is showing how unethical drilling for oil is because of the destruction it can cause. This mode uses science to describe how the oil could fail with the rising of temperature due to man.

The book Oil! By Upton Sinclair is also a left winged point of view which depicts the dangers of drilling and the amazing amount of dependence we all have on oil. This has a wider audience than the two recently mentioned. Also a large novel like this one also brings an audience with a higher education than all of the other three
modes of presentation.

This childish looking picture brings off one main idea. This idea is that marine life and the oil industry can coexist. This picture was drawn by a politician for oil drilling. This picture is something people from all ages and areas can view and understand. Out of all the four modes, this has the greatest audience. This picture shows that drilling oil is a truly ethical and harmless act that has great benefits.
