Knowledge is something that you know

Truth is something that can be proven that it is right

Belief is something that you believe is right or wrong or how you feel

Knowledge is what you know that it is true. Knowledge is nothing that you believe that is not true. Truth is all knowledge and is only belief that is true. Belief is everything that you believe even if it is not true.

V for Vendetta

To be honest i have never seen V for Vendetta. But from seeing that scene in class it looks like a new good movie. i would like to watch it sometime in the future. In the movie the character V in "V for Vendetta does not like the way the government has taken away the peoples rights.

In the movie V takes over a radio station and decides to speak to the people of London. He is trying to get the people of London to feel the same way about the government as him. In the begining of the speech V use a pathos mode of persuasion when he said, " I do, like many of you appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine,the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition." He use that to get the people of London to understand that he is just like them and not some crazy person. Then V goes on to talk about the cruelty and injustice of the government, he was useing forensics to argue the position of the government. Toward the end of the speech V said, " I sought to end that sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten. He used the means to an end form of argument and he use ethos to establish credibility for being the one who destroyed the Old Bailey.

In that short speech to the people of London V made a good arguement. He used lots of modes of persuasion and forms of arguement. He has given the people the power to uprise and start a revolt.
