Dr. Ralph Edmond Stanley, a well known American Bluegrass artist, was born February 25, 1927, in Big Spraddle Creek, Virginia. He just recently passed away last year on June 23, 2016. During those 89 years of life, Mr. Stanley sure made a name for himself to be remembered for many years after he was gone.

George Orwell was a master of including real examples of historical propaganda to show how easily people can be manipulated. He used animals to symbolize how primitive most people’s thoughts processes are. Most of the examples of propaganda in Animal Farm were created to show how Stalin, a Russian leader in 1920’s, controlled large groups of people. Examples of propaganda such as, glittering generalities bandwagoning, and ethos, used by the animals in Animal Farm are still widely used today and can be found in health products, advertisements and political campaigns and debates. The three main types of propaganda are pathos, logos and ethos. Each of these forms affect a person in a different way, for example pathos occurs when information
“Ms. Sanders It’s time for you to open the door to endless possibilities” these were the exact words spoken to me by the program manager of the residential program at Applewood Centers Inc. It was at this instant that I knew this was the perfect company to complete my foundation internship. While researching organizations to intern at, I kept coming back to Applewood.

He also stated that he learned so much in the
