Hazlitt use what is called ANECDOTE to support his argument.An anecdote is an short amusing real life story about ones life in form of a very brief story.Their effect is often to create an emotional or sympathetic response,for example if a writer wants to persuade people to stop smoking they may an anecdote about a close relatives that died of cancer.This will be the words designed to stick in the readers mind.William Hazlitt on the pleasure of hating use his own life experience to support his argument, first of all,it is an anecdote.what make it really effective is that he tells a story about his own experience to start the text.Using this make his whole point outstanding it gives an idea of what its going to write in the general theory.Even the anecdote grabs the reader attention.I notice when we read the book and starts with the anecdote everyone keeps serious in the classroom.Starting with a anecdote makes the wants to read more about.Anecdote are realistic using it will create an imagination view in the reader as if it is happening to him/her,when the reader imagine this and put themselves in Hazlitt shoe they will be convinced and know that they will do the same thing as he does to the spider. When Hazlitt was writing about the anecdote He express the real action of the spider by using adjectives. These adjectives express the verb “he bobbles awkwardly towards me……., the spider actions towards him was described using this adjectives.When we tell a story to a person about something he is doing being bad and we use anecdote to explain the effect of what he is doing it will create a sense of change in such person which means the anecdote has an effect on the persons life so is the examples about William Hazlitt life he use to support his argument When he use the anecdote it shoes that what he was saying was right and has pass through it,so what he is saying does not mean lies .Anecdote were always a realistic story about someones life.If he does not make use of anecdote to support his argument it is probably no one is not going enjoy the book and it wont attract more readers.If he does not it is going to be like he is telling a lie about what he felts like is real,His opinion is going to be fake and non supportive no one will wants to finish reading the book because they felt that the writer does not have an experience or knows what He/She is talking about when it is not backed up by enough evidence.Even though he use some grammatical expression and language techniques to support his argument it is not still supportive and accurate without an anecdote. Anecdote serves as a backup evidence to the essay “ON THE PLEASURE OF HATING”. Anecdote add to the armament in supporting the argument William Hazlitt use examples of his own life experience known as anecdote to support his own argument.The anecdote is one of the opening line of the book,in the anecdote William Hazlitt states the hatred of man. Anecdote is a tool to entertain the readers with attractive verse with sweet melody with instance of humour or emotion displayed however this is not its ultimate aim.Writers considers anecdote as a powerful tool, in their hand to shape or reform our thinking.Anecdote and humorous piece are not joke only but exquisite literally advice as well.Their major purpose were to stir up laughter,to disclose a truth in a general way or to describe a feature of a character in such a way that it become humorous and at the same time gives us a better understanding of the character. Anecdote may also serve as cautious, writers tells their readers about the possibility of a future happening in case they did not follow a particular process or techniques. Argument by anecdote is when you prove a point with a story.It is a very compelling argument because people like stories about other people more than they like cold, hard facts.Too often, though the argument by anecdote is used when the fact are stacked heavily against a position.If you listen carefully for argument by anecdote in what William Hazlitt say you will found out that he make frequent use spider to support their position.The anecdote is a supporter and a concrete evidence to an argument.William Hazlitt use anecdote to explain what it means by hate and hate something.Looking at crimes on the headlines of newspaper as the cream of jest or children killing flies for fun.The anecdote explains hatred as the milk of human kindness no one has nothing to hate in this world, anyone without something to hate is not a real human being.He also tells another anecdote of crowds of people watching a street tragedy drama that if there was an execution in the next street the whole place will be left empty to watch the execution. William Hazlitt is a very interesting and a great writer who supports all of his writing by what is called an Anecdote which express his own feelings, thoughts, experience and idea in his anecdote to convince readers his anecdote alone a great contributor to his writing on the pleasure it is really easy to convince his reader with his anecdote only even the general theory is just like another pair of idea from William Hazlitt. Has a reader of the book “ON THE PLEASURE OF HATING”,the book convince me as a reader that every human hates and is hated by something.According to his own anecdote William Hazlitt is Arachnophobia He hate spiders and shows his feeling towards, in his anecdote he tells what bit means by hate he address the spiders as three legged bastards.For him to might have done there must be a strong hate he actually does have for spiders that bis why he said in his text that no one has nothing he/she did not hate because he already has an experience on what it means to hate that is why he share the idea by using anecdote.

HWK1:”CHRISTMAS COMES EARLIER EVERY YEAR” “HOMEWORK1”
If we said Christmas comes earlier every year,then when does summer comes.should we say it comes earlier earlier or late.Everyone knows that summer is before Christmas,why should we say it is earlier whereby no ones talks about summer coming earlier or not, of course summer comes earlier and everyone knows that.Maybe we should talk about summer coming earlier than Christmas.Once i see this article,i ran to take a look at my calender,I later realise it is of no use christmas is at the corner already.Eleven months pass away before before it came to Christmas season. The simple law of extrapolation dictates that every months will soon be Christmas.Slowly,day by day,month by month,it will advanced across the calender ,toppling holidays before it. Christmas comes once in a year during the last month,when it is winter,but does comes earlier.Once it comes in a year and so is celebrated because it is once in the late hour of the year.Christmas came no earlier today as it did in the first world war.Christmas came in the late December. If Christmas turns to come earlier every year its going to be a bad omen,for workers who work all day and meant to enjoy their holidays will spend their time on Christmas even some will turn blind eyes.Winter is the most suitable season of the year that sooths Christmas eve,the cold time when people ran home when it is getting really dark along the glamorous of the street light across the steet in a heavy jacket and snowing.People will have time for their families because of the day shortened and the cold many people will want to go home early to warm or heat up their body and got more time for their families.Also as it is getting towards the end of the year Christmas is best suitable for the end month so as to be celebrated with the new year eve.My thought is that Christmas and new year getting closer does make sense,it is like killing two birds with a stone.I believe Christmas came late in the year and its suitable for the time it came by.
JOURNAL ENTRY ON “The Lord Of The Ring”
“The Lord Of The Ring” is a fantasy novel,it was written by an English Author J.R.R Tolkien.the novel.This is not your ordinary book that you read everyday,though it may be a fiction but it is world second selling novel as it sold 150 million copies around the world. The novel is an epic fantasy as it worth more than a grand to buy.The novel start off in 1937 and finishes in 1949.
The book cover many issues such as death, war, crime e.t.c.The book is likely a Tragicomedy novel,
the book is the most informational novel i have ever read.The title of the novel refers to the main antagonist “The Dark Lord Sauron” Who in his earlier age created a “RING”,to rule other rings. As i continue to read the a lot of cool stuff are happening as Frodo Baggins and his uncle (Frodo mother first cousin Bilbo) and undertake the quest to destroy it in the fire of “Mount Doom”.And the One Ring corrupted Smeagol who address the ring as my “PRECIOUS” is aiming to collect the ring from Bilbo and also the help of Treebeard on Frodo and Bilbo. I have also feel this book was a non- fiction.watching the film of this book make it more sensible and realistic the scenes are really cool and true nature. I have really enjoy this book so far i cant wait to read more, i may spend a lot of hours tonight reading it.The book is interesting and mostly well written. When the story begins it tells now the main character (Frodo Baggins) felt about the ONE RING, and destroying it on the mount doom. my favorite character is Frodo Baggins as he play the role of an hero and never relent on his mission to destroy the ring despite the calamities he faced.I noticed the author mostly based his point on the hobbits and the protagonists, it tells a little of the antagonists, or when it comes to war,it tells a lot more about the antagonists.in the novel, the author is not bias.The antagonist in the novel has a bad ending.For sauron he gives up hope and commit suicide because He was deceived.The book has been adapted for radio four times. I think it is a very good book, one worth defending for sure!.
