The Song Assignment.

OKay, so for someone who doesn't like blogs, I posted on here 3 times today. Woot. Anyway, the songs I picked were all Jason Mraz Songs, which I swore I would do. Unfortunately, Jake also picked a Jason Mraz song, so I felt compelled to change my original pick for Pathos. (On a completely random note, Jake looks like Jason Mraz. Just thought I'd point that out.)

Okay, so Pathos:

"After an Afternoon" By: Jason Mraz

But there's something in the way you laugh
And it makes me feel like a child
Aspects of life they confuse me
You and your thesis amuse me
Oh, after and afternoon with you
And your rich brown eyes
Your lips and dark hair
Elbows and exposed knees tossing toward the ceiling
After an after, after an after, after an afternoon

Actually, that's not the whole song, but It's the most descriptive. I feel like the imagery he uses is meant for having the audience picture the moment. It's the reasons he's in love with this person and you feel it too. (It helps that the music is really pretty too.)

And ETHOS:

"I'll Do Anything" By: Jason Mraz

Go make your next choice be your best choice
And if you're looking for a boy with a voice, well baby I'm single
Are you in the mood for some dude, are you in the mood to be subdued
Or would you rather just mingle?
Let's get set then to go then and let us jet set we'll be like the jetsons
You can be Jane my wife. Should I marry Jane tonight?

This song is about why someone should date Jason Mraz. I'm pretty sure that it's obvious that it fulfills ethos because it is stating the qualifications of why Jason Mraz is date-able.

Finally, Logos. Hardest one ever. Also mostly because I was determined to only pick Jason Mraz's songs.

"Life is Wonderful" By: Jason Mraz

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la

I think this song is the closest to Logos within Jason Mraz's songs. The entire song is about how life is all connected. However, instead of telling you that straight out, the song demonstrates the "full circle" by giving examples.

And those are the songs I picked. They can be found on youtube at:


After an Afternoon (Sadly, all the videos of this song suck)

I'll Do Anything


Life is Wonderful


Okay. I'm going to go to bed now.
