=**Evan Hedman**= =**Hour 7 5/10/12**= We should help others because it is the right thing to do to make the world a better place. This can all be done if people volunteer and spend time with people in need of help. We heal ourselves by helping others. Vietnam veteran, Wally, helps provide food, medical supplies, and a great smile, to a leprosy village. "TOP Vietnam Veterans - Vietnam Humanitarian Aid Program."

 * This picture supports my argument because it shows Wally the veteran of the Vietnam War helping out these people in this village. He is helping this people and is doing the right thing. Wally is trying to help these people and their life. The person who took this picture had one purpose and that was to show that people can help others to make their life better. They also wanted to show Wally helping these people to get some support for their Vietnam Humanitarian Aid Program. The villagers in this picture need help to overcome their leprosy. Vietnam isn’t close to where the U.S. is with medicine, so Americans need to help these people that need our help. Ethos: These people need our help to overcome their medical problems because they have a lower standard of living than what people living in the U.S. have. Pathos: The young, parents, and the elderly all need our help to take care of this problem. Showing the young child makes more people interested in helping the Vietnam Humanitarian Aid Program. Logos: Someone, anyone needs to help these people to help make their lives better. Showing Wally helping these people should get your attention to help these villagers and make the world a better place.
 * __Song:__**
 * “Imagine” supports my argument that people should help one another to make the world a better place because it mentions that everyone should be equal and live as one no matter what. There shouldn’t be people suffering and that by coming together as one, people won’t suffer and would all be equal. John Lennon’s purpose for writing Imagine was to ask the people “to imagine a place where things that divide people (religion, possessions, etc.) did not exist. He felt that would be a much better place. This song has a strong political message that is sugarcoated in a beautiful melody. Lennon realized that the softer approach would bring the song to a wider audience, who hopefully would listen to his message.” The Vietnam War was going on during the time when John Lennon produced this song and war is one thing that divides us and we should imagine that it shouldn’t exist to make the world a better place. Ethos: Lennon was a famous singer and song writer and his song Imagine had a message that things that divide us should be eliminated and that we all should live as one to make the world a better place. Pathos: The melody of the song gets you to know these problems are dividing us from living our life better with everyone. Logos: We should get rid of the things that divide us and help each other to become one. By doing this our world will become a better place with less fighting, killing, and arguments. We can all help each other to live a better life.
