Audience

pathos

People don't realize we are slowly killing the planet by our actions (money, littering, cars, etc). If we don't carefully make use of these luxeries, it is easy to take it for granted. Instead, we should become more more cautious with what we do, and take action , do not be a bystander

SPEAKER

ETHOS

infact, it is an apology for the future generation, it is an apology for the pollution/ climate changes we had caused, and because of us the future generation(s) must live in the land we had ruined.

Shifts:

Punctuation: periods,colons,ellipses, qUESTION MARKS

Stanza divisions: Split into paragraphs (like a letter)

CHanges in sound: goes from apologetic to unapologetic

(He realizes that instead of standing there and apologizing, he can empower others to do what is right to save the earth)

Attitude:

"I think I speak for the rest of us when I say,

sorry, sorry we left you our mess of a planet.

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something."

  • Sad
  • Guilt
  • Mad
  • Unapologetic
  • Optimistic

Dear Future Generations: Sorry

by Prince Ea

"I'm not sorry.

This future I do not accept it,

because an error does not become a mistake,

until you refuse to correct it."

Connotation:

"mess of a planet"

  • Creates imagery of the world is a mess

Title: Dear Future Generations : Sorry

- An apology letter for future generations

"we just didn't realize how special the earth was,

like a marriage going wrong,

we didn't know what we had until it was gone."

  • This is a simile, it compares the earth to a broken marriage. people don't realize how good they had it until it's gone.

"sorry, sorry we left you our mess of a planet.

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something.

Sorry we listened to people who made excuses,to do nothing."

"Hey Fox News, if you don't think climate change is a threat..."

"and Sara Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels..."

This is an Allusion. it references both fox news and sara palin about what they have mentioned to the media in the past.

"So I'm sorry, I'm sorry that we put profit over people,

greed over need, the rule of gold above the golden rule.

I'm sorry we used nature as a credit card with no spending limit."

" I'm sorry future generation,

I'm sorry that our footprints became a sinkhole and not a garden.

I'm sorry that we paid so much attention to ISIS,

and very little how fast the ice is melting in the arctic.

I'm sorry we doomed you

and I'm sorry we didn't find another planet in time to move to.

I am s...You know what, cut the beat, I'm not sorry."

Constant repetition of the word

"sorry". to emphasize he feels guilty, and is apologizing .

Paraphrase:

-A man is apologizing on behalf of everyone. because of the selfishness of others, and our actions. we were unable to take care of the earth. the earth was once beautiful, but we were to blind to realize that we have been destroying it.

uNLIKE BEFORE, THE NATIVES WOULD RESPECT THE LAND, BUT LATELY WE HAVE BEEN CARING ABOUT THE MATERIALISTIC THINGS IN LIFE. NO ONE REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO REALIZE THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH AND HOW MUCH IT HAS PROVIDED FOR US. THEY PUT "ME" BEFORE "WE". iT'S ABOUT TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE AND WORK TOGETHER, BECAUSE SOON WE ALL WILL BE EXTINCT.
