Bullets Or Ballots: Rhetorical Analysis

Nickel and Dimed is written in the first person by Barbara Ehrenreich. The whole novel is personal accounts that she experienced during her trip through poverty. Also, she includes asterisks in her writing to give background information on a certain topic or phrase. This appeals to logos because the information is raw statistics that support her writing. She definitely uses her sophisticated vocabulary when writing the novel, but she includes humor which makes the tone more welcoming and understandable.

How heinous must a joke be for the United States Secret Service to open up an investigation with a comedian? Kathy Griffin, American stand-up comedian and actress, finds the answer to that question when she is being prosecuted for a simple photograph. On May 30, 2017, Griffin releases a photo of her holding a grisly head of Donald Trump, receiving backlash from the public causing her to hold a press conference for damage control.

“I'm a Black Nationalist freedom fighter.” In “The Ballot or the Bullet (April 12, 1964), Malcom X, a Muslim and civil rights advocate, argues that the black community should take charge and come together as one. Malcom X supports his claim by calling out black community for not being proactive and being complaint with the community they are living in. Malcom X’s purpose is to bring the black population together. Malcom X is informing a crowd of African Americans about how they need to become knowledgeable in politics so they can elect officers that will only benefit the black community. In Malcom X’s speech, he uses tone in order to persuade a variety of listeners that the black population is disregarded, to stress the importance of

1a. Know and understand- to perceive as the fact or the truth; to grasp the meaning of an idea

Do you ever wonder how journalists get away with presenting overly biased information through blog sites and news articles? Reporters have been doing this for years, and because of the law enforcement's inability to regulate what gets broadcasted through the media, these articles remain the leading culprits for false interpretation by the audience. A Modest Proposal is a prime example of how easy it is to manipulate the media by the way Swift conjures up what seems to be the “only solution” for the poverty issues in Ireland. Although the idea of “eating children to save money” seems absurd today, the citizens actually believed it to be a probable solution at the time. Swift influenced the viewpoints of his readers by the way he presented logical statistics in his work, making him seem as a credible source to onlookers who had no prior knowledge on the topic.

I, Roger Smith, am bringing this petition to light to portray how America treats its minorities. The irony of how America is lauded to be this liberal and free country meanwhile they forced and dragged African Americans into a life of slavery and inhumane treatment. Husbands, wives, even children are being taken away from their families by force to obey white supremacy. This is the kind of power that creates this sort of hierarchy and damages the meaning of what a liberal tradition should resemble.

In her article “Tattoos are no longer permanent but removal can be a long and costly business,” Victoria Lambert (2015) explains that tattoos can be removed with laser, an injectable liquid and surgery. However, the process for each option is not only time consuming, expensive, painful, but can also have severe consequences. Lambert points out that most people, a while after they have been tattooed, figure out the useless of their body art, and decide to pay any price to get them removed. He affirms that the laser option, in addition, to being expensive, extensive and painful, can also cause skin disorders with the uncertainty of complete removal. Lambert also claims that another possibility, which is the liquid injectable, is not efficient

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) addressed the nation in a unique “fireside” chat on December 29, 1940 called “The Arsenal of Democracy” ("Franklin Delano"). It was one of twenty-eight fireside chats that Roosevelt would eventually give, but it would become known as one of his best speeches (Roosevelt xi). In this chat he again used the radio to talk to Americans in their homes, where it felt relaxed and informal, despite addressing a serious issue that our nation faced (Roosevelt xi). Roosevelt wanted to tell the people of the United States about a growing threat caused by the Axis powers’ assault on Great Britain. He felt that America had a responsibility to help Britain and in doing so maintain our national security. President Roosevelt took a strong stance on the need to support Britain and in his speech laid out a plan to build an “arsenal of democracy” in the United States that would protect our country as well as our allies ("Franklin Delano").

Imagine discovering the cure for cancer, and then tossing the revolutionary discovery into a blaze of fire. This obliteration has happened to rhetoric, a tool of language that donates life to argument and creates a thriving system of communication for the world. Rhetoric used to be an important aspect of education that could assist students with the teachings of argument and human interaction. Today, rhetoric has become a topic of minimal discussion among ideas that have long since been outdated, and considered archaic to the educational system. In reality, rhetoric exemplifies the human genius and must be taught in schools to further the evolution of human expression.

Democrat or republican? You have always just chosen what you believed, right? Well, the choice you make could actually be based on how your brain functions! In How Politics Breaks Our Brains, and How We Can Put Them Back Together, Brain Resnick uses studies and experiments, strong credible figures, and a weak personal life experience to argue his claim that people have a partisanship side of them that is built into the brain. This causes decisions to be made on a biased mind. These points give a shaky but over-all strong argument that the general audience can agree with.

All of the characters presented in the movie have a distinct personality, making the viewer engage deeply in the heart pumping action and drama.

In response to Geoffrey Shepherd's article “It’s clear the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Shepard tries to pull us into his claim by using pathos, logos, and ethos. He uses estimates of 500,000 Japanese soldiers died from the atomic bomb. Then Geoffrey begins to state that we had an alternative spot to drop the bombs, the alternate spot we could’ve dropped the bomb would have been Tokyo Bay. It was idle and estimated that less lives would’ve been taken and would showed more of a threat to the Japanese leaders.
