A Grammar of Chaos: Taking an Interest
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2014/06/taking-interest.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 30 June, 2014. Sweet hat, Pericles. Image from Wikimedia Commons,. My post today was inspired by an image macro my mentor posted on social media. I'm not sure of the provenance of the macro itself, and I hesitate to share it here without source citation, but the quote is attributed to Pericles ( possibly erroneously. And his intellectual property happily now belongs to all of us:. Here's my confession: I don't like politics either. KS, United States.

A Grammar of Chaos: Pathos, Puppies, Panzer Tanks
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2011/06/pathos-puppies-panzer-tanks.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 13 June, 2011. Pathos, Puppies, Panzer Tanks. An argument based on brutal-ness? This is pathos being used to its most perfect extension. Aristotle wasn't a huge fan of the technique, saying that, "The arousing of prejudice,. Pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential. Facts," but he nonetheless devoted a large part of Book II of his. Why did he bother? This hen does not need a flag. Aristotle believed that people should natur...

A Grammar of Chaos: Crime Scenes and Carl's Junior
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2011/07/crime-scenes-and-carls-junior.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 05 July, 2011. Crime Scenes and Carl's Junior. Next time, on Hoarders. I hate moving. I'm a nester by nature, and the whole process of boxing things up and carrying them away to be unboxed elsewhere gives me the icks. This little whinge-fest is by way of excuse: it's not that I didn't want. To blog, it's that my computer was in seven pieces in four different boxes. But I'm getting settled, and it's time to get back to our buddy Aristotle. This whole ide...

A Grammar of Chaos: Aristotle, Ethos, and Tiger Woods
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2011/06/aristotle-ethos-and-tiger-woods.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 07 June, 2011. Aristotle, Ethos, and Tiger Woods. You've just defined ethos. Ethos is one of Aristotle's basic rhetorical categories, and any argument that hinges on the character of the speaker is using it. Aristotle puts it like this: "We believe good men more. Fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the. This is not an Escalade. We loved that guy! This is an Escalade. That brings us neatly to the turn. Having taken our...

A Grammar of Chaos: Refusing to Choose
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2011/04/refusing-to-choose.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 28 April, 2011. I bring you terrifying news! OK Here goes. When teachers aren't being teachers, they do other things. I know. I'm sorry. Shocking.

A Grammar of Chaos: In Spite of Fear
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2014/05/in-spite-of-fear.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 24 May, 2014. In Spite of Fear. Travel far enough, you meet yourself." - David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas. There was a time in my life when I was not the person I am now. A time when I stayed in my little apartment for weeks on end, afraid to go out in case of Catastrophe. Once I finally sought treatment, my therapist asked me, "what are you scared will happen? And I didn't get lost, or anything! We love you so much! I still wonder. And that's the hell o...

A Grammar of Chaos: Taking deep breaths...
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2010/12/taking-deep-breaths.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 16 December, 2010. My first project of the week was a 15 page paper on William Blake. Cake. Easy-sauce. I got this. Sort of. At least it's finished is the mantra on that bad boy. I'm relatively convinced that there are in fact elements of Buddhism and the Tao in Marriage of Heaven and Hell. The thing I really want. It was this upcoming publication that led to that really difficult writing assignment I was talking about. Do you have any idea how hard...

A Grammar of Chaos: Espera
http://grammarofchaos.blogspot.com/2014/05/espera.html
A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 14 May, 2014. My students were the first ones to tell me espera,. Let's get started," I said, at 2:03, in my not-fucking-around teacher voice, the one designed to cut through whispers and giggles and make sleepy students wince. "But Miss," they replied, like people making a clear and obvious argument, "Not everyone is here.". So I did. I do. We start class when we start class, and that's OK. The entire cycle of life here tells me espera. Five or so days...

A Grammar of Chaos. There's a method to my madness. 06 June, 2011. Back and Badder than Ever - Now with More Aristotle! No, wait, where are you going? Come back here and sit down. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.". Saying, so you can make an informed decision regarding your media consumption. And believe you me, once you start thinking about this stuff, you realize there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.
