Week 4 post A

Vocab
Swagger(120)- to walk or strut with a defiant or cocky manner
Stewarding(102)- One who manages another's property, money, or other affairs.

Appeal
"Now i was going much farther than i wanted-out of town."(71)- this is an emotional appeal because this shows a sad moment for him. He doesn't want to be fired, and hes not looking forward to moving, so you feel bad for him.

"After all, Minnesota had the best record in the NFL at 5-1, while we were 0-5."(129)- This is a logical appeal because it shows a statistic that can be verified.

"I can still remember the excitement and relief we felt as the clock wound down and we wrapped up our victory, 24-13.(121)- This is a logical appeal because it shows a score of a game which is a fact which makes it a logical appeal, But also i feel that this could also be an emotional appeal because this really lets me imagine what it was like at the end of the game, because i have been in that position many times and know what that feels like.

Quote
"Tony, you're our defensive coordinator."(69) - This is an important quote because it both provides a lot of humor for the occasion and it also provides a future for what Tony will do for the next few years of his life.

Theme
The ongoing theme of religion is not as obvious in the chapters i read, a theme i noticed was to do whats best for all, and no whats just best for you and this is evident when Tony decides not to go to the 49's or the Giants when they are a whole lot better then the team he chose, which was Kansas City, because he didnt want his children growing up in such a big city.
