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.

Diane Ravitch wants her readers to know the difference between the schools, and remember that what she is discussing is limited to only certain schools because the facts she gives in her article can only be applied when talking about wealthier schools. This clarification allows for the readers to properly assess and understand the meaning behind the article, and not misinterpret the information that is presented throughout the paper. With this in mind we can take a deeper look at information given by her article.

People Magazine’s audience comprises of mostly women, and the articles and advertisements within the magazine prove this. Such types of passages consist primarily of gossip, however, there are some informational reads in the magazine. One advertisement in the September 18 issue of this year is a safety message from Tide. While the advertisement is a safety message, it is obviously still trying to sell the product: Tide PODS. The target audience of this advertisement is more specific than People Magazine; instead of only targeting women, Tide narrows its audience down to parents. Tide's advertisement uses some pathos, but it heavily draws its appeals from ethos.

The United States is a country based on equal opportunity; every citizen is to be given the same chance as another to succeed. This includes the government providing the opportunity of equal education to all children. All children are provided schools to attend. However, the quality of one school compared to another is undoubtedly unfair. Former teacher John Kozol, when being transferred to a new school, said, "The shock from going from one of the poorest schools to one of the wealthiest cannot be overstated (Kozol 2)." The education gap between higher and lower-income schools is obvious: therefore, the United States is making the effort to provide an equal education with questionable results.

When reading an article, one must establish credibility and contain emotions to insure the reader that what they are reading is trustworthy. The author of this article, Lawrence B. Schlack attempts to establish credibility in the first paragraph of his article by informing his audience that he is a former superintendent. Schlack states, “Any retired superintendent who’s running around the country telling high school seniors not to go to college had darn well better explain himself or herself. OK, here goes .” As a superintendent, Schlack could only be aware of how many students are college ready and not of how many fail out or end up coming home. By the looks of it, the author did not include and statistics to backup his claims later on in

Hello Rozhnaz! This writing looks better than the previous one that I revised; congrats! You also gain improvement in terms of the use of academic vocabularies in this essay. Some notes to be considered here are the minor things such as punctuation, redundant expression, and capitalization. Here are several takes on your writing:

Walter Cronkite was a reporter for CBS for 19 years, he submitted an article to the New York Times. He submitted the article because another reporter by the name of Peter Arnett was being interviewed on Baghdad soil. Throughout this interview Mr. Arnett begins to “criticize the American military effort and praised the morale of the Iraqi people and the cooperation of Iraq’s information ministry”. Mr. Cronkite is being a bit harsh to Mr. Arnett throughout the article.

Due to a successful implementation of the rhetorical appeals logos and ethos and the usage of appropriate language, Molly Worthen’s article is more effective than Lisa Wade’s article. The usage of logos greatly supports Worthen’s claim because it clarifies the significance of her argument by providing credible statistics while Wade provides an uncited source to which she proceeds to harshly charge the audience. The application of ethos confirms the applicability of Worthen’s article to the audience and thus improves her eloquence whereas Wade requires further clarification for her use of ethos. Utilizing appropriate language worthy of academic standards positively impacts the effectiveness of Worthen’s article as it accurately depicts the author’s

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.

The rhetorical analysis I composed was written on an article called,“The confessions of a liberal gun owner,”by Justin Cronin. This type of writing opened me up to a new style of composing that I am not familiar with. I really enjoyed being able to show my view of whether I thought that this article was effective. Critisizing the writer for doing certain things was very interesting and made me feel more independent and powerful. I did not like that I could not use my personal opinion but could use what I thought as the audience of the paper. This confused me at first but I eventually understood the reasoning behind it. Telling my personal opinon would dismay readers and disregard my credibility. By stating facts it made my paper sound more

Technology these days is continuing to grow into people’s lives exponentially- something that Jenna Wortham talks about in the article, "I Had a Nice Time with You Tonight. On the App" published in The New York Times. She offers a new point of view to the dating-app world as she describes life in a relationship separated by thousands of miles. Today, dating-apps are mainly for people who are looking for a partner, but as more and more people start to find their loved one online, those apps become irrelevant. This knowledge has sparked new concepts for apps- apps that try to keep people happy in their relationships. Although human social interactions may have transformed over the past couple of decades, the usage of mobile devices to communicate help us stay in contact with people

Nicholas Carr’s article is directed to an audience that should realize Google and today’s technologies are hindering our societal progress. Carr proposes that reading online is less thought provoking than reading an actual book. In his opinion the Internet was created to distract us, therefore, changing the way we think. Carr suggest that the value of reading online is associated with efficiency and information gathering rather than knowledge and understanding. To support his claim he references blogger, Scott Karp, who admits to having stopped reading books all together. Karp states that his reason for reading online is “I’m just seeking convenience.” (511) Carr goes on to argue that we read online because we feel the need to be efficient.

The article titled "The man with the snow job" appears in the Opinion Pages, The New York Times. Author, Gail Collins, opens her article with the question: “Who is to blame for this weather?” which hooks readers’ attention and makes them curious about what they are going to read. In her writing, Collins talks about the current snowstorm in the United States and how it is used for everyone’s advantage. She also points out how government officials such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama use the occasion of snowfall for their own purposes. The author borrows images of global warming effects to discuss some controversial problems in the society these days. She applies the following elements to establish the

“Hartford, Conn.- This is one of the wealthiest states in the union. But thousands of children here attend schools that are amongst the worst in the country.” (Samuels,1) The article focuses on the state of Connecticut but talks about the funding public schools get throughout the country on a federal level. Schools get equal amount of federal funding, but it doesn’t make a difference when local funding is a gap between cities. In the article, the author argues that due to economic differences between cities schools are not being equally funded, affecting the schools. She does this by informing the reader where the city funds come from, and how high poverty schools spend less on students than low poverty schools. Finally the author also includes
