Should we help others? How and why (or why not)?

Thesis- People should help others in any way that they can. Because you should treat others how you want to be treated. __You’ve got a friend in me- Randy Newman__ Randy Newman. //You've Got a Friend in Me//. Rec. 12 Apr. 1995. Disney Productions, 1995. CD

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed Just remember what your old pal said Boy, you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and we see it through You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be A little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them will ever love you the way I do It's me and you And as the years go by Boys, our friendship will never die You're gonna see It's our destiny You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

-This piece supports my argument saying that no matter what he will always be there. Lines like, You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too, There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, We stick together and we see it through. This song says that you should always be there to help your friends and that everyone goes through tough times. -The author’s purpose was to make a catchy song about friendship, and helping others. And that no matter the circumstance a friend will be there to help you out. Also this song was in a very popular movie that was presented to kids showing that friends are great things that you should cherish and appreciate. Because in times of hardship they will be there to help you out and get you through the troubles in life. - This song is used in the movie, toy story, to demonstrate friendship and how important it is. This movie is very famous and has set positive ideas in life to children for many years. -Ethos is used simply by the fact that it was used in one of Disney’s most successful movies. Almost every kid now days have seen it. A matter of fact Toy Story was my favorite movie as a child. Pathos is used by the excessive use of the word friend. Doing this makes you feel connected to the song. Also it gives you the feeling of comfort. Logos is not really used in this song. (no logical appeal)

-This piece supports my argument in many ways. First you see that this lady of a completely different age group his giving some of her groceries to a homeless man in need.‍ It is shown through this photo that race or social status does not matter in this world. If someone needs help people should help them in any way possible ‍. -Tammy Kling is a life coach, advocate for the homeless, and international author of 29 books including The Compass. Tammy is also the founder of Write it Out, an organization that helps gang members, the homeless, and those living on the street write out their hopes & dreams via writers workshops, free journals and various other resources. Tammy’s purpose in this piece was to show that anyone can help make a difference in their community. -The societal context that influenced this piece was the fact that homeless rates are very high due to our nation’s economic crisis. Many peoples attitude in times like these are that they have their own problems and can do anything to help. But in reality people living on the streets have it way worse and could be helped with simple a can of food. Anyone can help, and everyone should help. -Ethos is used in this piece in the authors great experience in the area of helping people. Tammy Kling is author of 29 books and leads an organization helping the homeless. Pathos is used by showing the condition of this homeless man. And the willingness of the women to help him really shows that anyone can help in this world. Logos is not used in this piece (no logical appeal)
