I choose to observe and write a space analysis on Fussys becuase it is very significant and importna to me for a number of reasons. First of all, I love the food! Fuzzys has some of the greatest food in the TCU area and that is significant becuase it draws me to go there at least weekley! Second, becuase I go to Fuzzys so much, I have developed a firnedship with the employees and regulars. It is great to know there is a restaurant to go to where you will know people everytime you enter. It creats an exciting atmosphere and makes it comfortable to overstay a usual restaurant visit. Also, Fuzzys is important to me because I have spent so many great times there with my friend, and met many new ones!

I plan to analyze Fuzzy's Taco Shop on Berry Street. I choose this space because I spend a lot of time there, and it is one of my favorite places in the TCU community. It's always packed with students, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is delicious! First, I plan to observe Fuzzy's on a Thursday night because it is usually crowded with TCU students, so I'll be able to see the fun and busy aspect then. I will also go during lunch hour one day so I can observe the mellow and calm side. These are two important times to observe fuzzy's because they will be able to give me ideas about both extreme characteristics that Fuzzy's has. I already know that Fuzzy's is a restaurant that serves food and drinks, plays loud music and interacts with the customers. By taking a closer look at the space, I expect to learn more about the customers, the surrounding, such as wall decorations and arrangement, and the persuasiveness that the restaurant contains.

I am a member of both the TCU community as well as the Boulder Colorado community. While spending a great amount of time in both communities, I have developed a number of favorite places. In the TCU community, my favorite local space is the TCU men's baseball field. It reminds me of spring, the weather getting warm, and school soon coming to an end for the summer. The food, which includes send home hot dogs, nachos, and dip-n-dots, also adds to the wonderful experience of my favorite space. In m,y community of Boulder Colorado, my favorite local space is Pearl Street. Pearl Street is full of character, "characters," original entertainment, delicious food, and great shopping! The pathways are lined with a mix of street performers, local skateboarders, CU college students, locals, and many tourists. The surrounding mountains and beautiful nature scenery add to the already amazing area.

One example of an argument that I found is a Betty Crocker cupcake mix box. This could be considered both an argument to inform, and an argument to persuade. The front of the box is an argument to persuade for a couple of reasons. First, it has a picture of a delicious looking cupcake on it which is there to persuade the audience to purchase the item so that they can experience the cupcake. This is using the appeal pathos, because it is provoking the audiences emotions. It also used logos to develop credibility by placing the Betty Crocker label very viably of the front of the package. The back of the box could be considered an argument to inform because it lists the ingredients that are needed and the direction to follow. This is informative because it is informing the audience how to make the cupcakes that are shown on the front of the box. From this exercise I have found that one single object can be placed several different argument categories.

Chapter 1

While reader chapter one, I found it to be very interesting that the book explained meditation or prayer as an argument. The book explained that the individual praying was trying to transform something in him or herself, or in the case of meditation, meet equallibrium or peace of mind. The book also explains how the stained glass in church is also a way to argue to power of the lord. The dazzle aspect of the window sends a deeper argument than if it were written on paper or in a poem style.
I would have to disagree with the book's idea that in order for an argument to occure, and audience is needed. The book explains that in order for an argument to be effective, it ust be compelling to others. I disagree with this becuase I believe that an argument is still considered effective and useful even if the audience does not agree with it. Also, in some ways I think that an individual can make an argument or statement even if there is no audience present.
