A Rhetorical Analysis Of David Penberthy's Article

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a government website that provides information about various diseases, disabilities, disorders, etc.. The CDC provides multiple webpages about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that list and provide information about causes, treatments, variations, and signs/symptoms of the disorder. On their informative pages, they use rhetorical devices to better portray their message. The CDC effectively uses the three rhetorical devices, pathos, ethos, and logos, to reach their goal of informing their target audience and providing a clear perspective on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

How many times have you dropped those swimming classes? When was last time you put off in getting that enrollment for the gym? “Unlimited” ads campaign by Nike, appeals to its audience by showing people who even having certain difficulties, go after what they want and push their limits as much as they can, which is not a little. The ads feature a grown Sister competing in a triathlon, a transgender who runs with the National men’s team and a climber with no extremities. Nike didn’t choose these actors for its ads by accident, they are source of inspiration for all those athletes that always put the best of themselves in whichever the activity that passionate them is. People who would be the main target for this campaign.

From the beginning Robin DiAngelo paves the way for a successful argument by stating the exsistence of white fragility and addressing her audience of white liberals. As a person reads white fragility DiAngelo builds her argument with layers of evidence providing specific examples of the places white fragility takes place in the work force, how white people purposefully segregate themselves, place themselves in the position of vulnerability, and are ignorant to their state of separation. DiAngelo is able to provide her explanation on the exsistence of modern day racism through tone, evidence, and ethos. Along with the use of pathos and logos DiAngelo successfully carries out her argument. However, loses credibility by alienating those with

The purpose of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to protect the health of America and to “promote the quality of life through the prevention and control of the disease, injury, and disability (CDC, 2013).” The CDC has a concern about a growing disease that is normally found in children to young adults called Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD. This Rhetorical Analysis will be focused on ADHD. The CDC’s Website is trying to inform current or future patients, parents and care givers, and teachers on how to handle this illness.

In paragraphs 29-31, Swift mentions several expedients, such as taxes, wearing homemade clothes, rejecting foreign luxury, curing vices among women, instilling the virtues of patriotism, taxing the absentees, and rejecting divisiveness while promoting honest, industry, and skill. Swift’s speaker stated at the end of all his expending, “How preceptors!” Swift’s rhetorical purpose is to make the reader realize that he is ironic as well as understand what he actually stands for. The reader learns that Swift is forced to resort to ironic tone to reveal his true intention, which would otherwise go unnoticed. Swift is ironic because there is no way his expedients could succeed in a time that Ireland was in, he was mainly trying to highly the economic problems affecting the county at the time.

Leonard Pitts’ piece was effective from the start even though his piece was written in a ranting manner. This is because the author pours opinionated pathos into the piece and it happened to be the feeling of everyone in the country at the moment. The author also dismisses his ethos as a paid column writer to say what the normal American with average communication skills would say. Most paid column writers would probably not use the words, ¨you monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard¨ (Pitts). However, even though he is dismissing his credibility this works for him because it makes him a relatable speaker and makes the reader want to continue reading.

First, in his article, Rose sets the scene by efficiently using personal anecdote as an essential to achieve the emotions of the readers to argue his claim. Rose introduces his readers

Famous philanthropist Stephen Hawking once stated, “We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.” In the world of George Orwell’s 1984, this shared human spirit is abused, neglected, and utterly destroyed. This is most apparent when O’Brien deconstructs the argument of Winston and, in turn, tears down his human spirit. While Winston clings to a persistent hope of the failure of The Party, O’Brien uses logos and pathos strategies to methodically tear apart this belief. This maniacal argument for The Party, the strong imagery involved in the interrogation, and the mental collapse of Winston produce one of the most thought-provoking, saddening, and terrifying scenes in 1984.

The New Yorker is a celebrated magazine that is known for its reporting, essays, and political commentary. Its exemplary status is also attributed to its cartoons and illustrative covers, which are often satirical reinterpretations of current affairs. The demographic of the people who read the New Yorker provides a clue as to the whom the advertisement’s target audience is. They tend to be on the liberal spectrum, mostly college educated people in their early 30s to late 50s.

The situation being emphasized by Mr. Smith is from his own experiences as a child. He tells us not how to raise a black child or how not to even, he was criticizing the situations he grew up in which made his parents and every other parent of a black family raise their children the way they did. The fear that the society doesn’t accept the life of their children and will try and crush it out of them is so high that, all of them eventually end up raising their children in a protective environment by constantly warning them of the dangers of the world, which may make the children realize that the world may not accept them the way they are.

Every persuasive essay is likely to have some form of bias. So, since everyone usually sides with people who are similar to them, there is no surprise that Grant Penrod wrote this essay in favor of intellectuals. Even with the very limited knowledge we have about him, it is very evident that he is more interested in academics than athletics and therefore can sympathize with nerds and/or geeks. Persuasive essays also tend to generalize in order to gain support for their side of the story. Trying to persuade someone that all jocks are mean is much easier if you don’t mention that the nicest person you have ever met was on the football team. In this essay, Penrod uses a lot of stereotypes and generalization, even though he speaks out against stereotyping,

I chose the Gary Abernathy Article because I agree in what he is arguing and think that all should try to see from his perspective to understand where he is coming from. He states that sports are meaningless. Sports is simply what gets us away from the real world for a few hours in order for us to enjoy something together as a community and as a country. When politics are dragged into sports, many Americans begin to feel stressed. Not only do Americans feel stressed, we often disagree with athletes. Lebron James stated that Americans supporting Trump are uneducated. Lebron James loses many fans now especially in Miami and in Florida where he once played after Trump won Florida. Sports is an escape from the outside world and from politics, we should keep it that way before sports lose even more viewers than they already have.

While David Lowery’s argument is made strong by his pathos and ethos. His logos or lack thereof pulls his argument down. On June 16th, 2012 Emily White published an article on how she had hardly ever purchased music, then on June 18 David Lowery respond to her article in a response that swept the nation, it lead him to a platform to speak on this topic and he is now one of the leading advocates for musicians’ rights.

When looking at the tones of The New York Times, Fox and The Huffington Post I saw different contrasts. The New York Times which is a direct news outlet, had exceptionally positive and peppy tone in the greater part of the articles/recordings about the shooting. The tone of the articles was based on "the diversion must go on" allegorically and truly! Besides, the tone of the articles was more matter of act and breezed over the realities. Interestingly, the Tone of the articles and recordings on Fox News- - the preservationist outlet- - appeared to be more genuine. Likewise, the tone of Fox News appeared to be terrified, there were refreshes consistently and arrangements of what they knew about the shooting. Finally, the tone of Huffington present

Jonathan Swift’s satirical essay, “A Modest Proposal”, uses many media constructions to convey his opinions to the reader. Firstly, Swift uses the key concept that all media is a construction. Swift carefully planned his satirical piece to effect readers in such a way as to have them look inside themselves. The essay itself mirrors societies own radicalism and gullibility. This is proven when Swift writes, “ I have been assured by a very knowing American… that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing and wholesome food,…”
