A Rhetorical Analysis Of MOVEME By Marcal Graham

In “Lost in America” by Douglas McGray, he writes about the need to improve the foreign language policies in schools across America and for students to gain knowledge about counties outside of America in the magazine, Foreign Policy. The author’s intentions are not to attack Americas educational system but to persuade the readers about the problems of the educational system used in America today. He wants the readers to realize that there is a change that needs to take place in the classrooms across America. He does this effectively by using the rhetorical choices antidotes, formal diction, and tone. His audience is geared towards American readers interested on political and cultural issues. I don’t think it’s geared towards students because,

The Maze Runner by James Dashner is an action, adventure, science fiction book. It is about a teenager named Thomas, who arrives in an enclosed environment with no memory of his past. He lives with other teenagers, all boys. Everyday, they try to figure out a way to escape the maze, and seek freedom, but Thomas figured a way out. All of the gladers (the nickname of the people, due to them living in a place called the glade) ran out in the maze, most of them were killed by grievers (monsters that live in the maze), but some of them survived including Thomas. The survivors escaped the maze.

In the CNN article titled Sacramento “Police Shot Man Holding Cellphone in his Grandmother's Yard”, the authors target was an audience from a broad spectrum of political ideologies to inform them about the current police shooting of Stephon Clark. The rhetoric pathos was effectively utilized with various media and even the title to evoke certain emotions from the readers. Logos along with ethos supported information and gave the article added credibility like body camera, audio, and direct quotes from the officers on scene. However, the authors’ view on the issue was not clearly stated rather highlights the different perspectives.

With the eerie season coming to an end -like a heavy fog slowly dispersing- I gathered some time to truly reflect on the teachings of Mrs. McLemore’s AP Language class. From horror movies to Halloween costumes, almost everything about this haunting season portrays a vast amount of rhetorical strategies, with pathos being one of the biggest techniques.

Andrew Johnston English 101 Wendy Rider October 10, 2015 Rhetorical Analysis of “The Rules about the Rules” In the article “The Rules about the Rules,” Stephen L. Carter uses the rhetorical strategy of pathos to speak about integrity. A topic that is heard by Americans, but no one knows what the true definition is. Carter writes "The Rules about the Rules" using stories and examples that people can relate too, to persuade the audience that we say a lot of things we don’t mean. As Carter goes from one main point to another, he makes his points clear.

Barry uses diction in order to say that scientific research is uncertain, but can sometimes be good. For example, he says, “If a researcher succeeds… the perfect tool will be available for purchase, just as laboratory mice can now be ordered from supply houses.” The use of simile suggests that scientific research can be rewarding when done correctly, as shown through the comparison of results to something as simple as buying supplies at a store. This tells the readers that uncertainty is not always a bad thing, and good things come to those who deal with it well. In addition, the author states, “If [scientists] are at least partly correct their probing acts like a crystal to precipitate an order out of chaos.” The use of imagery suggests that

"Shakespeare offers us a lens on the real world in which we live in." {Lines 65-66} Mack is speaking to incoming college freshman because he wants to broaden their interests. Mack designs effective argument that why reading Shakespeare has value through his use of alliteration and counterclaims. To begin, the device that Mack uses to advance his argument is his use of alliteration. "Besides, what would my bowling buddies say." He understands how they feel but Shakespeare is hard. "I much prefer something more scientific-I believe is studying "real" things: fiction is fun to read on summer break, but..." He is referring it to fiction and that it has value. In addition, the technique that Mack uses to advance his argument is his use of counterclaim.

Sprouted, only to suffer from a one-sided loving & passionate state of mind, an illness is born - where flowers petals are wheezed out and regurgitated and can only be surgically removed, also severing all perceptions of emotions along with the petals; thus, forcing the individual into isolation, these effects are descriptions of the hanahaki disease (花吐き病). Within the petals folds, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck illustrates the beauty of passion and enthusiasm through the examination of the text that serves as a social action, also known as rhetoric, with the use of antanagoge and epanalepsis.

In an attempt to bring awareness about distracted driving to viewers, AT&T has decided to show a different perspective about the issue. Drivers who chose to display reckless behavior while driving are often viewed as careless, and irresponsible. However, many times even a responsible, caring person can make a bad decision and become distracted. This moment of bad judgment can lead to a tragic accident that will affect all those involved. The commercial The Unseen by AT&T used in their It Can Wait campaign is effective in getting their message across. Through the use of scare tactics and people’s emotions AT&T’s commercial; The Unseen is effective because it gets drivers to think twice before becoming distracted behind the wheel.

When comes to irony, nothing comes to my mind more than somehow being able to ‘eat too much’ at an all you can eat restaurant. And, amazingly, a restaurant in southeast Wisconsin seemed to also not understand that when you say all you can eat, it’s not up to dispute -especially when you’re the one that markets it. And, it also means people are going to take the sweet bite, that is eating to their hearts content -when you claim they can. However, Chuck’s Place the restaurant promoting the offer kicked two people out for doing just that! To me, this is ironic due to the fact that you’re completely baiting and switching people and then kicking people out for things that you put yourself up for, and should expect! This incredibly pathetic move

Katz uses emotional appeals to help strengthen his argument. Katz is very up front with his words, giving him a commanding attitude towards reform.

Dwight Macdonald, in his essay “Masscult & Midcult”, draws a clear distinction between the high and low cultures of the US. He describes the High culture being traditional, where art is intentional and used to portray the artist’s inner emotions (9-10). In high culture art, the audience gets a direct message from the artist through his work, there is no subjectivity towards the individual. The next rung in the declining ladder is that of Folk art. Macdonald classifies Folk art to be like High culture art; however, only for the poor and the secluded, its voice coming from people without power yet its purpose specific towards a singular message (11). It is not for the elite like high culture, yet it is not degrading and exploitive like Masscult

From my perspective, I think I fulfilled all of the program goals in this course. The part I believe I performed the best is the cover letter. In the cover letter for the midterm portfolio, I addressed directly how achieve the six goals with evidence and supporting sentence. The part I think I did less well is that I did not make a playlist for project 1. Instead of doing that, I just paste the links of the video. The goal I believe will be most valuable to me in my future as a writer and communicator is the program learning goal number six - “demonstrate and reflect on rhetorical agency”. Before I the class, I have never really understand the meaning of rhetorical agency in any degree. While now, after one semester of practising and learning, I can apply the rhetorical way of writing into my writing pieces.

Laurence Olivier describes Shakespeare as “the nearest thing incarnation to the eye of God” ; but is it really worth the read? College professor, Michael Mack presents a speech to his students convincing them to read Shakespeare. Mack fashions an effective argument that reading Shakespeare is worth the effort through his use of rhetorical devices and counterclaims.

To hear Russel say that child was running for his life in this type of tone he used made one wonder what is going on. As a viewer, you knew that it had to be something bad just by the way he said it and the music that was playing in the background, from this moment on the reader must now kick into their emotional side. This is exactly what Russel needed for one to do, because if they don’t go into their emotional frame of reference one wouldn’t be able to understand exactly what is taking place. Referring back to “The metamorphosis” as one had to use their emotional frame of reference to understand Gregor mind vs body experiences. As the cross culture take place in the next direct quote “After spending a few weeks with Jacob he told me something
