A Rhetorical Analysis Of A Woman

The museum placed this work in the Discovery Room on the 6th floor, approximately six to seven feet off the ground in a glass case. Although the work contains only a head, a neck, and a suggestion of shoulders, the presence of smooth skin and a relaxed brow exemplify the kouros style. The sculpture is crafted from a creamy, off-white marble but it is unknown if there are any traces of paint. Further, the sculpture measures

Willa Cather has a great understanding of diction and thoroughly displays it in My Antonia. Anton Jelinek, a newly arrived immigrant from Bohemia, still calls Italians, “Eytalian … kawn-tree … we was showed in” (69) and mispronounces country and does not yet understand English grammar. He comments that, “I make my first communion very young,” (71). Jelinek’s informal dialogue fits his character because he is an immigrant and has just barely started to learn English. Therefore, his bad grammar, his accent, and mispronunciations make sense for who he is and where he came from, especially when taken into account where he is in his life. In contrast, Jim, who grew up in America and is native to the land, has a highly developed vocabulary and comments on how things are, “taciturn … [or] queer,” (72) and notes that Krajiek, “shrunk along behind them,” (75). He describes the, “bluish air, full of fine eddying snow, like long veils flying,” (76) and uses the words, “propitiatory intent” (77). Jim has a more formal language and is more educated that the immigrants of the towns. It is logical because it is written from the view of Jim as an adult looking back. As he looks back, he finds more complete words to describe situations that when he was actually in them. Jim’s vocabulary enlarged over time, so changes in how he describes his memories or reasonable.

Queen Elizabeth I is considered to be one of the most powerful women in history. In 1588, as ruler of England, she was faced with an invasion against Spain for control over trade in the new world. Her “Against the Spanish Armada” speech was addressed to the English Army at Tilbury Fort to help motivate and boost assurance, as well as showing support to her troops over the battle they were about to face. With her passionate words and courageous way, Queen Elizabeth establishes a connection with her soldiers; appealing to their patriotism and emotions through logos, pathos, and ethos. Although she was uncertain of a “famous victory”, Elizabeth instills the reassurance they need to fight against Spain and leading them to victory in the end.

Feminism has been an explored topic since the early 19th century and has remained an important conversation in our society still today. At the time when Roxanne Gay was approaching this topic within her collection of essays, there were some major feminist triumphs occurring. 2014 was a time where Rape on college campuses was finally announced a national issue. In 2003, there were just 74 women in congress, yet 2014 was the year where we finally hit 100 women in congress. With all of the support and the successes of feminism at this time, it was crucial that Roxanne Gay discuss the way in which she fully supports the feminist movement, while staying true to herself. In "Why I am a Bad Feminist," Roxane Gay colloquially portrays how she imperfectly performs feminism in her daily life and how to deal with the constant struggle of trying to achieve "ideal" feminism while also being human. Gay touches on the fact that as a society, we place a high degree of pressure on women to be perfect. Whether the perfection lies in their looks, actions, or personality traits, women are constantly held to unrealistic standards. Gay effortlessly sheds light on this situation using rhetorical strategies to describe how she does not meet these standards. These rhetorical strategies include imagery, to create a picture of what she is saying, as well as a strong use of ethos and pathos, revealed throughout her essay. Instead of being ashamed she shares how to embrace her inconsistencies while still trying to be a feminist and role model.

The Chicago Tribune’s editorial “Ms. Ives, here is what’s wrong with your ad” goes over the backlash that followed Ms. Ives campaign television ad and her response to the offended viewers. Ms. Ives is a conservative Republican running for Governor of Illinois against Gov. Bruce Rauner. Her orthodox views on abortion and transgender rights gained her popularity with the GOP voters of the area (Ms. Ives, here is what’s wrong with your ad). She delivered the controversial ad stirring the opinions of Illinois residents a few days ago and has then been massive news around the area. The particular ad stars a cast of individuals “thanking” Rauner for his progressive actions. The ad features a mocking version of a teacher, a rich man, a feminist, an illegal “criminal” and a man wearing a dress who is, allegedly, representing the transgender community. The ad mocks the most marginalized areas of the Illinois community, however, during her press conference at the Chicago City Club Ives said: “The commercial does not attack people, it tackles issues”. The author views the issue as more than just a political propaganda and criticizes Ives’ view as well as how they will negatively impact on her

The sculpture was made in 2001 by the artist as part of her Cell series. The sculpture itself features three figures, each of them headless, armless and legless and each of them female. The three figures are encased in a prison cell, or birdcage-like structure. On the floor are two large white marble spheres. Hanging between these two is a mannequin wearing a white dress, on one side, hanging slightly higher, another torso with just a neck and bust, wears flowery fabric,

On July 22nd 1905, Florence Kelley-a social worker-was speaking at the National American Woman Suffrage Association in hopes of gaining support for restriction on child labor and better conditions for working women. In the angry and passionate speech, Florence Kelley utilizes rhetorical appeals, repetition, and rhetorical questions in order to assert the problems with child labor to the adults and officials of America.

Dr.Demosthenes, we met at an airport not too long ago and we discussed the Rhetoric of American Identity course I am currently taking. Unfortunately, we never finished our discussion because of bad Kairos but I’d like to get more in depth with you about what I’m learning. I’m going to further explain to you what I’ve learned so far from my course by choosing an article I’ve read to illustrate concepts of rhetoric identity and identify a major argument. The article I’ve chosen to analyze arguments with is “What makes a woman?” which I’ll leave in my works cited page if you do ever get the chance to read it.

In my short story intervention I used a variety of different language choices to position my audience to feel sympathy for Mrs Dubose because I believed that she was once a compassionate person. The quotation “...the moment when all her happiness was wiped away from her like a malignant disease” represents this because the grudge that Mrs Dubose held for many years could have made her a stronger and more independent lady but she used it show her hatred. The word wiped has strong connotations of being cleaned and completely erased. Furthermore, this created diction showing a blackboard being completely wiped suggesting that Mrs Dubose’s happiness was taken away from her in a single wipe. The harsh “ed” sound in the pronunciation of the word

As has been noted, Mother Teresa continues to use rhetorical appeals using pathos through her own personal encounters evoking an emotional response. Her credibility has been fairly well established to a point where her audience can trust her and allow her stories to have an emotional connection. She wants that connection to be strong and personal, allowing each of her peers to act on what she has shared with them. Mother Teresa believes that abortion is the “greatest destroyer” of peace. She shares with her audience that we would not be where we are today without our parents and that our parents guided us to make safe and smart choices. She declares, “Because if a mother can kill her own child- what is left for me to kill you and you kill

Tannen uses a lot of strategies in her story. She first talks to her reader in a casual but respectful tone. She approaches the reader as a colleague, she doesn’t “dumb- down” her arguments, but she also does not make her arguments extremely difficult while also talking in a very relaxed tone. Tannen has a ethical appeal, meaning she presents sources to present herself as credible. For example she uses Ralph Fasold and his examples about women being the marked sex and also uses her example about chromosomes which states, ‘While two X chromosomes make a female, two Y chromosomes make nothing. Like the lingustic markers s, es, or ess, the Y chromosome doesn’t “mean” anything unless it is attached to a root form — an X chromosome” (Tannen).Tannen

Mother Teresa continued her uses of pathos in her speech by recalling a past experience she had with a poor woman. She reflected on the poor people as great people which allowed the audience to see them as something other than a stereotype. She remembered how the poor woman thanked her and many others about the importance of abstaining and having self-control in regards to having children. As she died, the woman looked at Mother Teresa, said

Standing with great height and muscular texture, this statue seems to be an imagery of a very young warrior. The sex of the statue cannot be determine due to the facial features. The facial express of the sculpture can be either a young male or a female. His physical traits might be powerful, but looking at it proves that he might be a leader. Looking at the sculpture with more emphasis, it seems like it is a sculpture of the biblical character David. The attribute of the image that look like David is the head the lays beneath his feet, which look like Goliath. The physical traits of the sculpture look to be a very shy person. Standing in a contrapposto pose with a little smirk of his face looking as if he is not looking at the designer. Unlike other renaissance sculpture, this statue is fully clothed. Wearing an armory vest, right hand is on the sword, and left hand is on his waist. This masterpiece seems like it was carved from marble. The color of the marble might be white or black, but the carving of the statue is really vivid. Back in

The Sculpture chosen was placed in a temple where funerals were placed and it depicts three figures, two standing and one sitting, one of the figures standing is female, and are all wearing traditional ancient Greek clothing. The sculpture is definitely two-dimensional as it was sculpted to be viewed from the front only since it is not free standing. The Sculpture does, however, have some three-dimensional elements as all the figures are carved so deeply into the stone giving the illusion that it is free standing. It is definitely a form of concrete art and it is very naturalistic as it in no way disrupts the nature of the persons or the robes they are wearing. But it by no means tries to be as realistic as possible, since the lack of detail on the

This sculpture comes from the Romans, specifically, the era of high imperial art. During this era, Rome was ruled by Trajan during 98-117 CE, which is also the time period for this sculpture. The lighting is slightly dramatic, creating stark lights and darks in the figure. It gives it a sense of authority. The hair is in the Roman style, and is similar to that of Augustus. This marble sculpture’s head is of the emperor Trajan, and it was a bust of some sort. However, the nude body was later added. The sculpture is in a variation of contrapposto, with the the right arm contracted and fingers spread out. The full open sculpture makes Trajan seem more youthful, which applies more culturally to the Greeks, who are concerned with beauty and
